Full Description

Scope

This guide documents methods and designs to mitigate interruptions and equipment damage resulting from animal intrusions into electric power supply substations, thereby improving reliability and minimizing the associated revenue loss.

Purpose

Intrusion by animals into electric supply substations has been a problem experienced by most of the electric utility industry. The costs associated with outages caused by animals continue to escalate. Although animal problems differin nature geographically, the damage to equipment, interruption of or loss of service to customers, and safety problemsencountered by operating personnel result in the same general concerns.This guide identifies various animals, the problems they cause and mitigation methods. Further, it recommends criteriafor applying mitigation methods, documents survey-reported effectiveness of various methods and recommendsfactors for evaluating effectiveness of methods once they are applied.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Superseded.Methods and designs to mitigate interruptions and equipment damage resulting from animal intrusions into electric power supply substations thereby improving reliability and minimizing the associated revenue loss are addressed.
