AI summary The document presents data on outage causes by customer hours of interruption (CHI) from 2020 to 2025, highlighting the percentage of outages attributed to factors such as adverse weather, defective equipment, and tree contacts. It also includes a table of projects related to specific feeders from 2020 to the present, detailing project descriptions, years, and costs.

20 numerous bring to roadside projects have been advanced to reduce outage 1 interruptions. These feeders present operational challenges and constraints that 2 make them ideal candidates for early FLISR deployment. This initiative aligns w...

AI summary The text discusses the deployment of FLISR technology on feeders with operational challenges to reduce outages and improve grid reliability. It highlights the benefits of FLISR in urban areas and provides a table of outage events on feeder 103H-433 with details such as dates, durations, and causes.

1 Request IR-10: 2 3 In Matter M12185, the Board established the following targets for CKAIFI and CKAIDI for 4 the year 2024: 5 6 • Circuit Average Interruption Frequency Index (CKAIFI) ≤ 5.03 7 8 • Circuit Average Interruption Duration In...

AI summary The document discusses targets for Circuit Average Interruption Frequency Index (CKAIFI) and Circuit Average Interruption Duration Index (CKAIDI) set by the Board in Matter M12185 for 2024. It also raises questions about why certain feeders were selected for FLISR upgrades despite meeting performance targets and why problem circuits were not selected.

NON-CONFIDENTIAL 1 (b) The feeders identified as problem feeders in M12185 were not selected because the impact 21 performance may not be a reliable predictor of future benefits. Additionally, as noted in 22 IR-11, FLISR is one layer of ad...

AI summary The document discusses the selection of feeders in M12185, noting that performance may not reliably predict future benefits. It highlights that FLISR technology provides additional reliability protection but cannot address all outage causes. Historical data on outages is presented for selected feeders.

3 Evidenced by the jurisdictional scan and experience, as described in IR-4 Attachment 1, 4 the expected reduction in impacted customers during outage conditions ranges from 40-60 5 percent.

AI summary The text indicates that based on a jurisdictional scan and experience outlined in IR-4 Attachment 1, the expected reduction in impacted customers during outage conditions is between 40-60 percent.

As further described in IR-4 Attachment 1, the estimated directional reduction in duration of outages conservatively ranges from 12-25 percent. Using the average avoided outage duration, PLT Labour, and Administrative and Vehicle Overheads...

AI summary The document estimates that FLISR installation could reduce outage durations by 12-25 percent, resulting in potential annual avoided operational costs of approximately $16,500, based on average avoided outage duration, PLT Labour, and Administrative and Vehicle Overheads.

Request IR-1: - a) Starting in 2023, for each feeder selected in this application, please provide a list of outages, reasons, durations and the number of customers affected. - b) Starting in 2020, please provide a percentage breakdown of t...

AI summary Request IR-1 asks the utility to provide detailed information on outages, reliability improvement activities, and reasons for limitations in improving feeder reliability starting from 2020 and 2023.

Request IR-4: a) For each feeder, please elaborate, compared to Fault Location, Isolation and Service Restoration (FLISR) technology, whether any technical and cost-benefit analysis has been - conducted to reduce the propagation of outages...

AI summary Request IR-4 asks for an analysis comparing FLISR technology with other outage-reduction methods like sectionalizers and reclosers, including cost-benefit analyses, and explains why FLISR was selected over alternatives.
