Best Practices for Storm Response - DistribuTech 2010 Presentation
In 2009, the DSTAR consortium commissioned a study of the best practices for utility storm response. The study examined the practices, procedures and experiences of U.S. utilities during major storm occurrences with the goal of understanding and conveying what went right and what went wrong during the build-up, restoration and ramp-down phases. The investigation included detailed utility surveys, interviews with storm bosses, vendors and consultants, and reviews of reports, proceedings, and papers. The result is comprehensive discussion of many important aspects of storm restoration with an emphasis on best practices and lessons-learned from past experiences.
This presentation summarizes some discussion items and key findings from the study, particularly revealing cases, and recommendations from utility experiences.
