How does one monitor this real time data?

I wish my solar panels were making power. Maybe someone needs to develop some lunar panels.

I don't think it would help with the 11000 MW demand right now. Solar is generating 0 MW and wind 120 MW.



(Not commenting on the politics or anything, just what the real time generation is showing).

Thank God for the light wind tonight though, if we had Thursday wind it'd be -60 windchill tonight into tomorrow.

Power back at YYC, I doubt the grid got us, they might be testing generators or something to make sure we stay up if it does go.

lol, we get it dude. You think this is a gotcha. I still don't like +30. I'm comfy now. I went to a movie today. Walked over to Brewster's with my friends last night. Just got back in the house from boosting my buddy's car.

I understand the airport has struggles in the extreme cold. IDGAF. That's your bubble; not mine. My work is horrible in +30...it's a big warehouse and office area with no air conditioning that faces west and cooks after noon. I hate it. Makes me grumpy and lethargic. Productivity slows way down.

You don't like the cold. I do. I understand you like it and I understand why, but, like, you're not proving anything here. You're just coming off sort of smug and annoying.

Was just going to ask if someone has a view of all the lit up downtown buildings at the moment. How are these not on motion sensors at this point

That’s where you can monitor loading, basically AB Net Generation - (-interchange) > internal load under ideal conditions.

That was pretty obviously a joke, but I do appreciate the monologue.

I really am not that stupid to believe anybody would jump in this thread and all of a sudden declare hatred for the cold. You've got to give me a bit more credit than that.

YYC is not just "my bubble", 20 million people a year come through here unlike your warehouse so I'm sorry if you DGAF, but some people might.

Acey,

Since you seem to be in the know, any idea if the WJ outbound flight to Honolulu will be departing tonight?

I have family and friends enjoying their last night in Hawaii at the moment and they are clueless as to what is happening airport and weather wise.

Want to try and give them a heads up in case they need to spend an evening at a hotel.

Many thanks

My system still hasn't come back online from our outage so I can't really check anything at the moment. Might refrain from the YYC updates tonight though, my jokes are kinda smug and annoying.

[You Need a Thneed]

I did my part and shut off 100W worth of LED lights.

Some posters run hot but love the cold and others run cold and love the heat.

Thanks anyways though. I remember you mentioning it before, but what do you do at the airport again?

[Amethyst]

There go my exciting Saturday night laundry plans...

Operations, gate planning, that sort of stuff... a few things.

From what I can see, Honolulu still plans to go. The camera that kinda points that way is frosted over, hard to tell what's going on anywhere.

Fully lit across the entire CBD. Brighter than usual I think actually.
