Garden Prairie
Garden Prairie, IL
Construction of Garden Prairie included distribution, substation, and commissioning work. The distribution crew reconfigured and rebuilt the existing 34 kV and 12 kV line around the station, set 10 poles for new 12 kV feeder, replaced 8 poles for existing 12 kV and 34 kV line, and installed Automatic Line Restoration Switches (ALRS) to increase sub-transmission reliability. The substation crew installed new DC-IN-A-BOX including heavy hauling and placement, conduit and cable installation, terminations, and support of the testing group. Commissioning included upgrading firmware, installing teaming information for the ALRS switching scheme, configuring SCADA operation for remote switching capabilities, and installing and adjusting settings as set forth by the OCC for DCIAB Transformer and CL-6 regulators. This project has brought an additional feed and automated switching to the area which will increase system reliability while maintaining no customer impact for the duration of the project.
