Abstract :
The presentation focuses on trade metrology issues and opportunities in the energy sector, in particular the electrical energy sector in Canada arising from the worldwide deregulation of energy industries and the establishment of trading blocks and free trade zones. The need for a measurement assurance program for electric power and energy to address these issues and opportunities, and its economic impact in a deregulated market was discussed. The role of NRC/INMS in assisting a deregulated electric power industry by providing traceability of power/energy measurements under several different operating conditions will be highlighted
