4 Ohio s Electric Utility System UNREGULATED REGULATED Generation Transmission Distribution Competitive Power Producers Regulated Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) Operating Company

5 Segments of Electrical System Generation Transmission System Distribution To Customer

6 Complete Electric System Example Power Plant Power Plants and Transmission Lines 1 Transmission Lines Neighborhood Substation Transformer (Overhead Service) 2 Main Lines Main Feeder Lines 3 Primary Lines Neighborhood Distribution Lines 4 Transformer (Underground Service) Block-by block restoration: small groups/individual customers

7 Power Transmission Transmission Line Transmission Structure

8 Distribution Substation Transmission Line Substation Primary Distribution Line Transmission Line

9 Distribution System - Examples Overhead Transformer Primary Distribution Lines Cable TV Secondary Distribution Lines Telephone

10 Powerful Terms Amp = the number of electrons moving along a conductor path Voltage = the force at which energy flows Watt = one AMP at a pressure of one VOLT (Watts = Volts X Amps) Kilowatt (kw) = 1,000 Watts Megawatt (MW) = 1,000,000 Watts =1,000 kw

11 Powerful Terms Demand = rate of energy consumption Kilowatt Hour = quantity of energy Load Factor = relationship between quantity and maximum rate of energy used Power Factor = ratio of true power to total power

12 What Information is Needed? BASIC (minimum) Peak Demand Energy Consumption Hours of Operation Delivery Voltage MORE REFINED (detail) Load Characteristics Type of Equipment Employed Power Quality Requirements Power Factor

13 Why We Need It? General (minimum) In-Service Date Determine Available Capacity Measure Impact on System Picture Demands on system Planning for Growth Detailed (great to have) Upstream Impact Downstream Impact Anticipate System Demands MOST OF ALL TIME!!

14 Ohio s Natural Gas Distribution Companies Investor Owned Utilities Columbia Gas of Ohio Dominion East Ohio Gas Duke Energy Ohio Vectren

15 Segments of Gas System Production Transmission System Distribution to Customer

16 Gas Well Oil & Gas Well Producing Wells Natural Gas Transportation System Gathering Lines Transmission Lines Processing Plant Compressor Stations LNG or Propane/Air Plant Underground Storage City Gate (Regulators/Meters) Regulator/Meter Large Volume Customer Distribution Mains (Lines) Residential Customers Commercial Customer

17 Ohio s Natural Gas Utility System UNREGULATED REGULATED Production Transmission System Local Distribution Operating Company

18 NATURAL GAS TERMS BTU (British Thermal Unit) = Heat needed to raise 1 lb. of water 1 F under constant pressure Volume = Basic unit is cubic feet or therms Pressure = Basic unit is PSIG (Pounds/inch²) or PSIG (Pounds/inch²Gauge) Demand (Load) = rate of gas consumption

19 NATURAL GAS TERMS 1 cubic foot (cf) = 1,027 Btu 100 cubic feet (1 ccf) = 1 Therm (approximate) 1,000 cubic feet (1 Mcf) = 1,027,000 Btu (1 MMBtu) 1,000 cubic feet (1Mcf) = 1 Dekatherm (10 therms) 1 million (1,000,000) cubic feet (1Mmcf) = 1,027,000,000 Btu 1 billion (1,000,000,000) cubic feet (1Bcf) = trillion Btu

20 What Information is Needed? Preliminary Estimate Approximate Location Total Connected Load (Mcf/hr) Max Hourly Load (Mcf/hr) Minimum Required Delivery Pressure Annual Consumption (Mcf/yr) Actual Cost Equipment Type Equipment Application (hours of operation) Type of Business Site Plans Actual Site Location Service Required Date Response Deadline Response Deadline

21 Why We Need It? Flow Date Determine Available Capacity Measure Impact on System Planning for Growth MOST OF ALL TIME!!
