Equipment, Site, Structure, and Security
Substations and switchyards share critical assets to overall system reliability, however:
- Substation structures typically haven’t been addressed in decades
- Many substation structural components are beyond their expected design life and showing signs of deterioration
- Planning outages for equipment and structure replacement can take months and can be costly
- Capital budgets are becoming subject to increased scrutiny
- Structure failures represent a substantial risk of loss of life, widespread outages, and financial losses
