Abstract
This electronic document is introducing the type of power generation and how its generated in Ontario, also included the cost of the energy, how to deliver energy to a customer and the main sources of power generation.
Introduction
Ontario is in eastern Canada, and its area is twice that of Spain. The province has a population of about 14 million and is the most populous province in Canada. Since 1998, the Ontario hydropower company has been split to implement the separation of power generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity, and the establishment of an energy board to supervise the electricity market. In May 2002, when the market was officially opened, the power generation price and the power sale price were completely …show more content…

On the other side, with the different season, the total demand is totally distinct such as the summer peak demand for electricity set on august 1, 2016 was 27005 MW, and for winter peak demand set on December 20,2004 was 24979MW. [2]

Types of power generation
As for now, Ontario's electricity installed capacity was 36.95 million kilowatts. Among that, 10.3 million kilowatts of thermal power generation, accounting for 28%; 8.5 million kilowatts of hydropower, accounting for 23%; 13.1million kilowatts of nuclear power, accounting for 35%, accounting for the largest proportion. Ontario produces 27% of electricity nationwide, but electricity consumption accounts for 30% of the country. [1] Figure 2 Figure 3
At power plants, generators are used to generate electricity. Inside the generator, the magnet rotor is called rotation inside a copper coil called a stator. This will pull the electronics stay away from their atoms and create a stream of electrons in the copper wire. The electrons can then be sent along the power line to where electricity is needed.
In a hydropower station, falling water is used to rotate the turbine. In nuclear power stations and fuel power stations, steam is used. Wind turbines use the power of moving air.

Form the generating station to step up transformer station and then through the transmission line to step down transformer station after then with distribution lines to step down distribution station and distribution pole to customers side. Figure 5 [3]

figure 6 shows the transmission line for high voltage (i.e. Ontario 115 kV, 230 kV, 500 kV) form far away to the local transformer station. the distinct color of layer shows the high-voltage IESO-controlled power grid, which are 115 KV, 230 KV, and 500 KV transmission lines. Blue color layer is for 500 KV in high voltage transmission line, green is 230KV and gray is 115KV. Ontario has more than 30,000 kilometers of transmission lines. Figure 6

4.11 Motor A DC motor is an electrical machine which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. A magnetic field is generated by the current carrying conductor and when this system is placed in external magnetic field then the force is exerted which is proportional to the strength of the external magnetic field and to the current in the conductor, then motor will rotate. If the direction of current is reversed then the direction of rotation of motor will also reverse.

The machine first receives the high energy electromagnetic wave from the Sun (in this case, its X-ray and UV) and has it colliding with a free electron. Then, the photon transfers some of its energy to the free electron. Therefore, the photo becomes less harmful and since the energy goes into increasing the electron’s kinetic energy which then generates electricity.

It uses flowing water to generate electricity. It does this by using dams and reservoirs for storage. This method gives us the most electricity rather than any other renewable energy source. Not only do the dams and reservoirs create electricity, they also control flooding (Sambu). Hydropower is the least expensive procedure to generate electricity.

By researching I discovered that Duke Energy was the largest power corporation, but Engie and National Grid are not far behind. However, these two corporations are located in other countries, so I decided to do an overall industry comparison using S&P. By looking at the ratios found in Appendix A.2 and A.3, it is noted that the industries are very similar, but Duke Energy is right below the industry average. Although Duke is slightly below the industry this could be due to expansion and investment. Duke is growing and is the top electric utility corporation in America.

Background: More than 1.2 million residents in the state of Arizona get their power from Arizona Public Service (APS), a public utility provider (Arizona Public Service, 2023). The corporation manages an extensive portfolio of power plants, some of which are powered by fossil fuels (coal, nuclear, and natural gas), others by renewable resources (solar and wind power), and still others by a combination of these and other energy sources. Nevertheless, APS has been confronting issues connected to costs in recent years. These challenges include increased costs associated with maintaining and operating its old power infrastructure and demand from regulatory authorities to move to greener energy sources (Arizona Public Service, 2023). Challenges:

Long-term energy plan 2017 (see appendix) comes as a revision to LTEP 2013. It is meant to be a road map for the provincial government to make better decision to help create cleaner, affordable energy throughout the province. This report is backed by two background reports, Ontario Planning Outlook, by IESO and Fuel Technical Report by Ministry of Energy (see appendix). LTEP 2017 aims to make energy an affordable entity in a province plagued by high electricity prices (compared to Manitoba and Quebec). It closely follows other implementation tools of the provincial government like the CCAP

The first two biggest part of energy consumption is both about heating. There are only two ways it can be explained, either heating is self need more energy to reach the temperature, or Australia is cold, so they have to use heat. However, Australia is always warm. As a result, the only way to explain the massive heating consumption is that electricity cannot be transformed to heat

In addition to this, the area in which I have been apprehended is within the Papal States, and as such, I have not only broken a religious law but also the law of the state. As I possess a book that the Church says is in direct contrast with the bible, I would be charged with heresy. Heresy is defined as denying or doubting the core doctrine of Christianity, and a charge of this during this time period would have given an offender no less than a sentence of life imprisonment and at most, death by burning at the stake (Wolfgang). Since the crime took place in the Papal States, and state law was broken, I most likely would be sentenced to death by burning at the stake. A possible precedent for this would be the execution of Giordano Bruno, a

The weather market follows its roots to deregulation of the U.S. energy industry. Variability in weather conditions perceived as one of the most vital factors that affect energy expenditure; however, the effects of inconstant seasonal weather patterns had previously been incorporated and operated within a regulated, monopoly environment. With deregulation, the various shareholders in the manner of producing, marketing, and delivering energy to U.S. households and corporations were left to confront weather as a new and significant risk to their bottom line. New pathfinders in the energy market traders Aquila, Koch, Enron, and Industries conceived of and executed the first weather derivative transactions in 1997. The first deals were all determined
