1 U.S. Gulf Coast Telecommunications Power Infrastructure Evolution since Hurricane Katrina Alexis Kwasinski The University of Texas at Austin 1 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
2 Overview» Introduction and motivation» Historical background» Planning perspective» Power infrastructure evolution» Conclusions 2 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
3 Introduction and Motivation» Objective: To describe how telecommunications power infrastructure in the U.S. Gulf Coast evolved from the time the area was affected by Hurricane Katrina.» This work continues the analysis presented in INTELEC Both papers are based on photographic records from site surveys, one performed a few weeks after Katrina made landfall and the other in a few instances from June 2008 to January 2009.» Power infrastructure evolution tells an history that may serve to answer the following questions: How was telecom infrastructure affected by Katrina? How did these effects influenced post-disaster network planning decisions? Is the network now more or less resilient than one Katrina made landfall? 3 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
4 Historical background» Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Buras, LA, on August 29, Background: NASA 4 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
5 Historical background» PSTN: Most outages caused by lack of power (3/4 in central offices). Use of DLCs to replace damaged cables and destroyed COs.» Mobile: Little damage to MTSOs and cell sites. Power issues were also the origin of most outages. PSTN failure was also an important problem. Inhomogeneous and often inadequate construction practices.» Effects more severe on centralized network elements than on distributed network elements.» Almost exclusive use of diesel gensets to provide long back-up power.» Logistical issues: deployment of multiple gensets in cell-sites. Deployment of gensets to DLCs.» Natural gas outage not as widespread as electrical outage.» Little use of alternative energy sources (PV, wind, hydrogen). 5 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
6 Historical background» Power in natural disasters» Central offices issue. No power input diversity Chalmette CO (Lower 9th Ward) 6 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
7 Historical background» Significant power issues in cell sites and DLCs (distributed elements) but low percentage of damaged DLCs or cell sites.» Most cell sites and DLCs failed due to power issues 7 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
8 Historical background» Additional relevant suggestions from INTELEC 2006 s paper:» Use natural gas to power back up power generating units.» Migrate from energy standby systems towards power distributed generation systems.» Implement homogeneous cell site construction practices locating all infrastructure above the flood plane.» Use portable COs instead of DLCs.» Coordinate deployment of portable gensets to one per site» Use wherever possible pole mounted systems over ground mounted systems. 8 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
9 FCC s s order from Katrina lessons 9 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
10 Planning perspective» Planning difficulties impacting network reconstruction decisions:» Geographical vulnerabilities 10 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
11 Planning perspective» Planning difficulties impacting network reconstruction decisions:» City repopulation 11 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009 The Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy Program & Greater New Orleans Community Data Center
12 Power infrastructure evolution» Planning difficulty: to reconcile the immediate repair needs with the long term network planning goals based on an uncertain demand.» Advantages of DLCs: They can follow changing demand better than multi-pair copper cables. They can be deployed quickly reusing existing or rebuilt distribution infrastructure (usually aerial). They don t require a building.» Disadvantages of DLCs: Need to be deployed relatively close to the demand. They are designed with lower target availability than centralized network elements. Many DLCs hosted by a CO which may become a single point of failure. They require local power. Without local generating capacity battery back up times (at least 8 hrs. as requested by FCC) is often insufficient to sustain continuous operation until a portable genset is deployed. Portable gensets increase logistical needs because they require regular refueling. Portable gensets are usually unreliable. 12 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
13 Power infrastructure evolution» DLCs in outside plant applications 13 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
14 Power infrastructure evolution» DLCs in outside plant applications 14 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
15 Power infrastructure evolution» DLCs in replacing central offices (St. Bernard) Resilience reconstruction requires elevating the building January Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
16 Power infrastructure evolution» DLCs in replacing central offices (Pass Christian) Resilience reconstruction requires moving the central office away from the coast. 16 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
17 Power infrastructure evolution» DLCs in replacing central offices (Delacroix and Yscloskey) 17 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
18 Power infrastructure evolution» DLCs in replacing central offices (more on Delacroix)» Access issues» Demand issues 18 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
19 Power infrastructure evolution» Inconsistent construction practices in wireless communication systems 19 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
20 Power infrastructure evolution» Somewhat more permanent gensets» Increased use of propane» Demand following 20 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
21 Power infrastructure evolution» Pole mounted infrastructure 21 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
22 Conclusions» Significant planning difficulty: to reconcile the immediate repair needs with the long term network planning goals based on an uncertain demand.» The PSTN shows an extensive use of DLCs, most on platforms, some with permanent natural gas gensets.» There are still significant vulnerabilities in communication networks that are not addressed by FCC s Katrina order» Inconsistent cell site construction practices persist.» There is an increased use of propane to fuel permanent gensets 22 Alexis Kwasinski, 2009
