(or a non-student\, technical professional wishing to join t he IEEE in the near future) ... and interested in learning about Alberta's largest natural gas electric power generation facility? If you are\, ENMA X\, a "state-of-the-art" power generation facility owner\, the IEEE Southe rn Alberta\, Joint Power & Energy Society (PES)/Industry Applications Soci ety (IAS) and the IEEE Southern Alberta Section (SAS)\, as a whole\, are e xcited to invite you to an exclusive "in person" tour of the ENMAX Shepard Energy Centre electric power generation plant\, located on the east side of Calgary\, at approximately Glenmore Trail SE and Stony Trail SE.\n\nDur ing this tour\, you will have the opportunity to see firsthand how the She pard Energy Centre joint venture plant owners\, ENMAX (50% Owner and Opera ting Partner) and Capital Power (50% Owner)\, generate electricity\, via a combined-cycle process\, using two natural gas-fired turbine powered\, ge n-sets\, two Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG's)\, feeding one common\ , steam turbine powered\, gen-set\, which when all combined\, provides mor e than 860 Megawatts (MW) of electricity to the provincial grid - enough t o meet almost half of Calgary's current needs. You will also learn about t he latest technologies and innovations in electric energy production and g et a chance to ask any questions you may have of the Shepard Energy Centre team of experts\, while on site.\n\nFurthermore\, this is a rare opportun ity for IEEE Members or potential\, future IEEE Members to gain insight in to the inner workings of two successful Alberta power companies\, their sh ared Shepard Energy Centre electric power generation facility and understa nd the potential technical / career opportunities in this field.
