Aqualectra generates and supplies electricity and water for the Island of Curacao. It was formed in 1999 through the integration of KAE, an electricity and water production company, and KODELA, an electricity and water distribution company. One of the first activities of Aqualectra after its formation in 1999 was the development of a twenty year infrastructure investment plan called \"Utility Plan 2020.\" This plan identified the desired future state of electricity and water infrastructure in Curacao in twenty years, and presents an investment roadmap to ensure that this future state can be achieved. An important part of \"Utility Plan 2020\" relates to quality systems their ability to result in superior project evaluation and selection. Presently, Aqualectra uses a combination of quality approaches including Malcolm Baldridge, Balanced Scorecard, and European Foundation for Quality Management. Each of these emphasizes fact-based management, and quantifiable performance measures, and consistent processes.

Commissioned in the early 1970s, Hydro-Quebec's 735/315/120-kV Duvernay substation comprises 13 buildings specialized by voltage level of function. Some 80 km of cables carrying sequential event recorder (SER), measurement, alarm and control data had seriously deteriorated as a result of numerous spring floods. Furthermore, the conventional control system was outdated. The facility thus required a major overhaul. In 2001, Hydro-Quebec began the various engineering phases for modernizing Duvernay substation. Several technological alternatives were considered based on such factors as facility reliability and maintainability.

The method has the advantage that it uses moderately high currents than the classical fall-of-potential method, and results are independent of test electrode positions. The method is especially useful in urbanized districts where it is difficult to apply the classical fall-of-potential method.

The restoration problem has to be now formulated as a multilevel, multi-objective optimization problem with constraints.

Some simulations, using Eurostag software and a part of an IEEE New England 39 buses power system including a French type distribution network, with different cases (with a large scale of DG contributing or not in restoration process), will be shown to illustrate the DG ability in restoration process.

In such cases the substation components have to be transported mounted in their operation position. Mobile substations are the clearest example. Mobile substations present specific characteristics which make the substation designer to be confronted with problems not affecting to conventional substations (AIS or GIS). The substation equipment must be fixed to a semi-trailer considering the space limitation, insulation distances and not only static but dynamic loads due to transport. The equipment must be fitted in a way to allow a fast installation requiring minimum work. Regular substation components with its support structures have natural frequencies in the normal range of transport motion and then dynamic loads due to vibrations have to be considered. The dynamic forces that occur during transport are of long duration and metal-fatigue has to be taken into account.
