A ten-year
electrical system masterplan was completed for the City of Harbor
Springs to prioritize capital improvement projects and improve system
capacity and reliability. The primary electrical system was
inventoried and a computer model created in WindMil to perform a system
analysis. Improvement projects were selected to maintain service to
customers during equipment and circuit outages, eliminate low voltage
conditions, provide redundant circuits to critical loads, expand the
system for potential load growth, and replace aging equipment, poles
and conductor. Projects were prioritized and construction cost
estimates completed.
Engineering services included:
• Primary system inventory
• Computer model creation
• System analysis – voltage drop, capacitor
placement, load balancing, equipment overload, & reliability
• Load growth potential assessment
• Overcurrent device coordination
• System improvement recommendations
• Cost Estimating
