2.3.3 Operational Efficiency p. p. 44
2.3.3 Operational Efficiency - FLISR Schemes improve cost effectiveness by reducing manual switching and fault patrols, lowering field technician hours, truck rolls, vehicle maintenance, and GHG emissions. - When fault location data is ava...

AI summary FLISR schemes enhance operational efficiency by reducing manual tasks and optimizing crew deployment during outages, leading to lower costs and GHG emissions. Fault location data enables more effective restoration efforts.

NON-CONFIDENTIAL 1 (b) The feeders identified as problem feeders in M12185 were not selected because the impact 15 remains effective regardless of the outage cause, and is cost-effective. 16 17 (b) NS Power does not have access to this lev...

AI summary The document discusses the implementation of FLISR schemes and their benefits, including cost-effectiveness, reduced manual switching, and lower GHG emissions. It notes that NS Power lacks detailed data on feeder performance and that FLISR benefits are well-established in comparable utility implementations.
