  • The Manitoba Hydro-Electric Board
    The Manitoba Hydro-Electric Board QUARTERLY REPORT for the three months ended June 30, 2012 Comments by THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD and by THE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Financial Overview Manitoba Hydro incurred a net loss on consolidated electricity and natural gas operations of $24 million for the first three months of the 2012-13 fiscal year compared to net income of $6 million for the same period last year. The net loss was comprised of a $14 million loss in the electricity sector and a $10 million loss in the natural gas sector. The loss in the electricity sector was attributable to decreased revenues from extraprovincial electricity sales and higher operating expenses related to accounting changes and pension-related cost increases. The reduced electricity sector revenues and higher costs were consistent with expectations for the first quarter. The loss in the natural gas sector is the result of seasonal variations in the demand for natural gas and should be recouped over the winter heating season. Manitoba Hydro continues to experience low export market prices as a result of low natural gas prices and lower demand for electricity due to economic conditions in the U.S. Low export prices are projected to result in continuing downward pressure on net income in 2012- 13. Based on current water flow and export market conditions, Manitoba Hydro is forecasting that financial results will improve somewhat and net income should reach approximately $30 million by March 31, 2013. The achievement of this level of net income, however, is dependent on the approval of rate increase applications currently before the Public Utilities Board.

    Review of Manitoba Hydro’s general rate application on behalf of the small and medium general service customer classes and Keystone Agricultural Producers prepared for Hill Sokalski Walsh Olson LLP October 31st, 2017 The potential for rate increases of nearly 50% over a five-year period will have a significant negative impact on the general service small (“GSS”) and general service medium (“GSM”) customer classes in Manitoba. Upon review of Manitoba Hydro’s general rate application, responses to information requests and minimum filing requirements, London Economics International LLC (“LEI”) finds that the proposed rate increase should be held in abeyance until (i) comprehensive macroeconomic modeling is performed; (ii) a robust independent analysis of whether Keeyask should be postponed, modified, or cancelled is submitted; and (iii) an additional independent review of Manitoba Hydro costs, staffing, and operating procedures is developed.

  • Design and Control of Hydronic Radiant Cooling Systems
    Design and Control of Hydronic Radiant Cooling Systems By Jingjuan Feng A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Stefano Schiavon, Chair Professor Gail Brager Professor Edward Arens Professor Francesco Borrelli Spring 2014 Design and Control of Hydronic Radiant Cooling Systems © 2014 By Jingjuan Feng ABSTRACT Design and Control of Hydronic Radiant Cooling Systems by Jingjuan Feng Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Berkeley Professor Stefano Schiavon, Chair Improving energy efficiency in the Heating Ventilation and Air conditioning (HVAC) systems in buildings is critical to achieve the energy reduction in the building sector, which consumes 41% of all primary energy produced in the United States, and was responsible for nearly half of U.S. CO2 emissions. Based on a report by the New Building Institute (NBI), when HVAC systems are used, about half of the zero net energy (ZNE) buildings report using a radiant cooling/heating system, often in conjunction with ground source heat pumps. Radiant systems differ from air systems in the main heat transfer mechanism used to remove heat from a space, and in their control characteristics when responding to changes in control signals and room thermal conditions. This dissertation investigates three related design and control topics: cooling load calculations, cooling capacity estimation, and control for the heavyweight radiant systems. These three issues are fundamental to the development of accurate design/modeling tools, relevant performance testing methods, and ultimately the realization of the potential energy benefits of radiant systems.

Manitoba has one of the most reliable electricity systems in the world and it is virtually emission free. Our electricity supply is renewable, effi cient, cost-effective and environmentally responsible. That is because over 97 per cent of the electricity generated in Manitoba is from renewable hydropower. Of electricity generated in Manitoba 97% is from renewable hydropower. Hydropower’s affordability, near-zero emissions, and ability to be delivered quickly to meet electricity demand have made it one of the most valuable renewable energy sources in the world.
