Technical Feasibility Study

Information and Data Worksheet
The following information will be used to prepare a technical feasibility proposal
for the Lindsey Emergency Restoration System (ERS).
The information
requested in this questionnaire is the minimum required for assembling a
proposal. A worksheet should be prepared for each voltage level as well as for
each critical line. Any additional information or expansion on any item would be
beneficial.
How to Complete This Form: Fill in each yellow box below with the appropriate
number. If there are two boxes, fill in the first box with a number and the second
box with a unit of measure.
For example:
Conductor Weight

Failure Scenarios
Fill in one or more of the failure scenarios below that you would like to have
analyzed.
A.
Tangent Suspension Tower Failure Scenario:

Number of Suspension Towers Destroyed *
Number of Circuits to be Restored (1 or 2)
Typical Span Length Between Towers
*Note: When one suspension tower is destroyed, we will assume damage to the two adjacent structures
B.
Angle or Tension Tower Failure Scenario:

Total Line Angle at the Tower (Degrees) *
*Note: When one angle tower is destroyed, we will assume damage to the two adjacent structures
C.
Other Failure Scenarios: (Describe and/or sketch additional failure scenarios below.)
Example:
Double circuit 150 line angle

tower destroyed with 420m and
350m spans to adjacent
suspension towers that are
damaged. One circuit to
be restored.

Insulation
Typically, the level of insulation on the Emergency Restoration Structure (ERS) is

less than on a permanent structure since long term contamination performance is
not required. Check below the Leakage Distance Requirements for the ERS
Structure. Include any special requirements (Altitude, etc) in question 8.

Loading Parameters
The loading criteria for the Emergency Structure should consider the length of
time that the structure will be in service. Designing for a 50 to 100 year return
storm may limit the structure, while a 10 or 25 year return storm may be more
realistic. Typically, either a heavy vertical load (ice) or a horizontal wind load will
control the design of the Emergency Structure.

transmission line right-of-ways. Also indicate if anchors should be supplied for
these locations, and if so your preference.

Methods of Construction
Check the method(s) that will need to be used in constructing the ERS. This will
help determine the accessories and additional tools required with a complete
system.

Additional Information
Indicate any special circumstances, requirements or limitations that should be

considered when planning an Emergency Restoration System. This information
might include right-of-way constraints, special terrain problems, equipment
limitations, desired brand of polymers insulators, etc.
