The utility pleaded guilty to six violations of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Eagle Protection Act. Under the settlement Moon Lake agreed to pay a $100000 fine and enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The MOU clarified utility obligations to protect birds and required a plan to prevent future bird deaths. This paper focuses on methods used to effectively retrofit Moon Lake's system. Over 3000 poles were inspected for raptor mortality. Prey remains were noted as well as habitat and prey abundance to determine preferred perches. Utility configurations associated with mortality were also recorded. These data were compiled to determine high-risk structures prioritized for immediate retrofitting. Deadend units and transformer banks were most problematic. Although many standard RUS-type three-phase tangent structures (RUS C1 Unit) lacked 60 inches of separation recommended by \"Suggested Practices for Raptor Protection on Powerlines: The State of the Art in 1996\" most were found to be safe. Existing retrofitting measures were also evaluated. The use of perch guards as a standard retrofitting measure was greatly reduced after guards contributed to several electrocutions. The use of bushing covers with small drain holes also created new electrocution problems with small birds probing bushing holes for insects. Guying and grounding practices also contributed to some bird mortality.","PeriodicalId":306493,"journal":{"name":"2000 Rural Electric Power Conference.

Krajnak","doi":"10.1109/REPCON.2000.848037","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/REPCON.2000.848037","url":null,"abstract":"Faulted circuit indicators (FCIs) can be a useful tool for improving power system reliability. While FCIs alone may not prevent outages or other problems with system reliability, FCI application can help identify problem areas of the electric distribution system, as well as reduce crew patrol time in locating faulted cables, thus reducing outage duration. The use of FCIs can be linked to outage statistics such as the system average interruption duration index (SAIDI) and customer average interruption duration index (CAIDI), to track reduction in outage duration. By spending less time identifying and locating faulted cables, crew productivity can also be improved through the use of FCIs, allowing more time to be spent on productive system operation and improvement. In addition to real cost savings and increased productivity for utilities, reduced outage duration through FCI use can lead to increased customer satisfaction. For commercial and industrial customers, who can incur significant costs in lost production due to power interruptions, minimizing outage duration can lead to a reduction in customer costs resulting from outages. As innovations in rate design lead to more performance based ratemaking, FCIs can help utilities avoid paying penalties by keeping certain service quality measurements within acceptable levels. Technology advancements in recent years have led to more reliable fault indicators, along with new and unique features that help ensure the most efficient application of faulted circuit indicators for improving system reliability.","PeriodicalId":306493,"journal":{"name":"2000 Rural Electric Power Conference.
