4. Evaluate the feasibility to reconfigure the electric system to be able to remove the <br />transmission and substation facilities as well as the power plant facilities. <br />5. Evaluate the economic benefits associated with NERC compliance opportunities <br />6. Evaluate the impacts, including revenue benefits, of property lease to third parties <br />(including cellular companies). <br />B. Transmission and Distribution Planning (210 days after data responses) <br />Objective: Produce a 20 -year Long Range System Plan (Appendix -1 provides a flowchart of <br />this process) <br />General: The City of Vero Beach electric system is comprised of transmission, ten (10) <br />substations, a shared transmission station, and approximately 60 distribution circuits. The <br />city has current transmission maps (PDF) and distribution maps (ARC -FM) but lacks a <br />model of both the transmission and distribution system. <br />1. Transmission system model to be provided to PowerServices, Inc. by the City of Vero <br />Beach. PowerServices will create the distribution system model capable of engineering <br />and economic analysis of the distribution system using the city's system maps. <br />PowerServices will evaluate the performance of the transmission system using the City's <br />model. <br />2. Develop new city system distribution model (using Windmil software) to recommend <br />necessary short and long range system improvements in (4) five year time frames for a 20 <br />year plan which will focus predominately, but not exclusively, on achieving increased <br />operating economies and meeting the capacity needs of the city and its customers. Other <br />proprietary PowerServices software will be used for certain system component power <br />loss analysis. This will include but not be limited to: <br />a. Conductor type and size <br />b. Voltages <br />c. Circuit designations, loading and balancing <br />d. Line sectionalizing equipment problem identification <br />e. Distribution Transformer loss reduction <br />f. N minus 1 reliability assessment for substations and feeders <br />g. Capacitor Optimization <br />h. Line loss reduction <br />i. Phase balancing <br />3. Analyze historical and forecasted transmission, substation and distribution circuit <br />loadings. Identify expected spot load and general load growth areas_ <br />4. Evaluate system equipment sizing and condition, including maintenance records, test <br />reports and testing programs <br />5. Evaluate condition of 69kV submarine cable <br />6. Evaluate City's energy conservation, load management, and demand side <br />management plans. <br />7. Calculate system power losses and provide optimization plan. <br />8. Evaluate customer —owned generation and renewables impacts and growth areas. <br />Page 2 of 10 <br />C:\Usets\sking\Documents\Shannon\GSAs-Contracts-Vendor Funns\PowctSevices\Vero Beach\Work Order #1 Electric System Study.docx <br />268 <br />
