This slide presentation outlines strategies to ensure electric power reliability for Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW). The evaluation addresses five basic issues that include: power failure risk assessment, what were GCWW's risks for a system-wide power
failure; hydraulic evaluation,
what would happen to the facilities and system in such
an outage; workshop addressing the
level of service which should be established as the
minimal acceptable threshold; standby power assessment,
what were the associated power needs; and, cost benefit analysis,
prioritize needed improvements. Project results and conclusions included:
provide capital improvement plan (CIP) funding to the top 5 - 6 ranked
standby power projects, providing 1-Day backup
capability;
cost benefit evaluation was not the crucial
factor for selecting where to install backup power
systems;
final ranking was determined on the system
hydraulics and the function of each facility within
the transmission and distribution network; cinergy has a robust system restoration plan;
GCWW is a Critical Customer for Cinergy;
Cinergy Recommendations for Power
Restoration Planning;
3 days is possible, but 7 days would be more
prudent; and,
restoration time depends on outage conditions.
