Power System Coordination: a Guide to the Pacific Northwest Coordination Agreement

“Power System Coordination is intended to provide an overview of the Northwest’s power system and an introduction to current coordinated hydro operations. It begins by considering coordination itself and then takes a look at the Columbia River, the resource that gives substance to regional hydroelectric coordination. It next examines the elements that either spurred or impeded river development over several decades, culminating with the Columbia River Treaty, the framework for U.S.-Canadian development and management of the river. And finally, it provides a detailed look at PNCA itself: its concepts, features, priorities, planning tools and operating procedures.” Abstract taken from Introduction.

Published as part of the Columbia River System Operation Review.
