combats shortage with "another Bonneville,
iJq)$z H
Behind the scenes of last winter's critical
power shortage 1 1 private and municipal
power companies and the Bonneville Power
Administration developed a system of co
operation which produced enough "extra
power to equal another Bonneville dam.
Except for the woifc of the Northwest
Power Pool, the electrical systems in the
Northwest might have collapsed.
Here's how k works: The pool inter
connects electric systems in Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, Utah, Montana and British
Columbia. In such a large region there are
differences of time zone, weather, stream
flows and other factors which produce
variations both in power demand and in
tho output of generating plants, area to
area. An area that ia "short" at one time
can draw upon the temporary "surplus
of another area. Later on, tho situation
may be completely reversed, and power
will flow back the other way.
By joining resources and coordinating
the operation of all generating plants in the
Northwest, power pool engineers are able
to utilize up to 600,000 kilowatts of power
that would go to waste If the member systems
were Isolated! That's more power than
Bonneville dam produces!
The Northwest was short of power last
winter, and conditions will continue critical
for several years to come. The power pool
is one of the measures taken by electrical
systems to meet the emergency while new
dams and powerhouses are being rushed
to completion.
These Art the fewer Pool Members
