Translation of "Automated weather distribution system " (English → French) :

Notes that in certain cases, renewable sources feeding energy into the grid are decentralised, remotely located, weather-dependent and variable and thus require infrastructure different from that currently in place, which has been developed solely for conventional energy; stresses that this modernisation of the energy grid needs to accommodate the changes in production, transmission, distribution and balancing technologies as part of the overall energy system; underli ...[+++]nes that some renewable energy sources can also balance variable energy sources and therefore alleviate the need for additional grid infrastructure; stresses that infrastructure development is urgent and critical for the success of the single market and for the integration of renewable energy; notes that implementation of the energy infrastructure package is crucial in this respect, in particular for speeding up the construction of new infrastructure with cross-border impact; emphasizes that authorisation procedures for energy infrastructure projects must be speeded up;

For electricity networks, the goals of transforming the current electricity grids into a resilient and interactive (customers/operators) service network, removing the obstacles to the large-scale deployment and effective integration of renewable energy sources and distributed generation (e.g. fuel cells, microturbines, reciprocating engines) and improving the quality of supply (in terms of voltage quality and energy delivered) will also necessitate the development and demonstration of key enabling technologies (e.g. innovative ICT solutions, storage technologies for RES, electronic metering and Automated ...[+++] Meter Management systems, power electronics and HTS devices, ICT control systems for active networks management, efficient work force management, etc. ).

Senator Carney: In 1995, the Standing Senate Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources did a report on weather stations, on the Automated Weather Observation Systems, AWOS.

Hon. Pat Carney: Honourable senators, I should like to take this opportunity to update senators on the current status of the government's plans to replace human weather observers with automated weather observation systems, known as AWOS, across Canada.

Another concern relates to the automated weather observation system and the role it plays in this new arrangement.
