Based on that meeting and <br /> the subsequent conversation I had with you,we are pleased to offer our <br /> services for this project and look forward to working with you again. <br /> ■ 12atr:p Fluuriwy rruttON'a <br /> PROJECT UNDERSTANDING <br /> We understand the goal of your project is to develop a more reliable power <br /> distribution system within the plant. During recent storms,the power <br /> within the plant has been disrupted from in-plant failures (from a tree <br /> contacting the overhead lines)in addition to PUD outages. As the electrical ■ To.c icIply k EXA.AA Eyratc, , <br /> distribution system age increases,there is also the potential of internal plant <br /> equipment failures causing plant-wide power failures. There are many <br /> concepts to improve the system reliability that have been discussed. This <br /> study is intended to document those concepts,identify any new concepts, <br /> develop a Pros/Cons matrix for each option,develop order of magnitude ■ naarp rt:v:a,attov <br /> engineering/construction costs and present worth cost comparisons of the <br /> concepts,and identify potential cost savings related to energy charges for <br /> the options. <br /> The initial phase of this project is to develop the long-range power • ,+,.;out;ttov Eodir ocrpt: <br /> requirements based on future plant expansions. (Task 1). <br /> There are two categories that have been identified for these power reliability <br /> concepts (complete listing identified later in this letter): "Grid replacement" <br /> and"non-grid replacement" <br /> • r..tlix?.c matvuvuvzr.outt7.ittra <br /> The first is in the general category of grid replacement (Tasks 2&3).This <br /> work focuses on the construction of an underground power distribution <br /> system to replace the current in-plant overhead distribution. This work <br /> would include the conversion of some in-plant building services for <br /> • lT';(; S2opc Tt - oft(Day tt::a <br /> overhead (from pole mounted transformers) to underground (pad mounted <br /> transformers). This work would also include the review of a second stand- <br /> by power feed from the 1250kW generator to the back-wash pumps. <br /> 44 <br /> \\Netserverl\docs\04\l-Props\P04111\WFP Power Reliability Study Scope-JMcClellanl.doc <br />
