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 powerfailure; hydraulic evaluation, what would happen to the facilities and system in suchan outage; workshop addressing the level of service which should be established as theminimal 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 rankedstandby power projects, providing 1-Day backupcapability;cost benefit evaluation was not the crucialfactor for selecting where to install backup powersystems;final ranking was determined on the systemhydraulics and the function of each facility withinthe transmission and distribution network; cinergy has a robust system restoration plan;GCWW is a Critical Customer for Cinergy;Cinergy Recommendations for PowerRestoration Planning;3 days is possible, but 7 days would be moreprudent; and,restoration time depends on outage conditions.
