The measurement devices and procedures for assessing elevated NEV levels at animal contact areas, distribution substations, pipelines, swimming pools and other contact points range from harmonics analyzers to oscilloscopes to simple multi-meters. For energized street level metallic objects the measurement devices can range from simple pen lights to custom designed equipment, while the protocols vary from precise documentation of voltage levels to simple detection of energized metallic objects. We discusses the variables of interest surrounding accurate and consistent detection and measurement of any elevated voltage levels. This includes: instrumentation, time of day, seasonal patterns, and remote earth or ground reference selection points. Further, suggested initiation points for measurement protocols created via the standards development process are discussed. Efforts in the measurement protocol areas will insure that under situations where higher than expected voltage levels are present at human or animal contact points, the measurements taken to support these efforts are accurate and comprehensive of the range of elevated voltage that may exist at a given point","PeriodicalId":123024,"journal":{"name":"2005/2006 IEEE/PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exhibition","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131121298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electric utilities are on a never ending quest to attain higher levels of performance for increasingly lower costs. Often times this leads to project requests that far exceed budget and resource constraints. Many utilities have started to manage this problem through well-defined project evaluation and selection processes. Oklahoma Gas & Electric is no different, and has recently implemented a comprehensive asset management system that centers around a project evaluation and selection tool. This presentation discusses this project evaluation and selection tool in terms of features, algorithms, and related business processes. It also discusses the intensive implementation project that was used to develop a base asset model and populate the tool with data. This base model is able to quantify the cost and benefit implications of potential projects, and can track asset performance over time.

Electric utilities are on a never ending quest to attain higher levels of performance for increasingly lower costs. An important part of this effort is to define meaningful definitions of performance. For distribution reliability typical approaches use reliability indices such as the system average interruption frequency index (SAIFI), the system average interruption duration index (SAIDI), and the customer average interruption duration index (CAIDI). Unfortunately, such measures are weakly correlated to customer expectations and customer satisfaction. Therefore, project evaluation and selection processes based on these measures may not be sufficient, at least from the customer perspective. At BC Hydro, performance targets are differentiated for different distribution circuits based on customer mix, geographic characteristics, and the customer expectations relates to the specific mix of geography and customer type. Such differentiation results in performance metrics that are more strongly linked to customer expectations, and serve as a solid basis for the project evaluation and selection process.
