4 IT ANNUAL BUDGET 2017

5 WI-FI DESCRIPTION: WI-FI coverage for both Valleys COST: Approximately $9,700 PROJECT TIME FRAME: First Half of 2017 PURPOSE & NEED: OPD WI-FI system is 10 years old and in need of replacement. There are a few areas where the coverage is not good, 2 extra Access Points will be purchased for those areas.

6 Southeastern Data Meter Data Management Program and Prepaid Metering DESCRIPTION: Meter Data Management (MDM) is the SEDC program that links our metering system to the billing and customer information system. This program will enhance our new metering Aclara program and give us a true Meter Management Program that will provide the ability to implement Prepaid Metering & Remote Disconnect. COST: Approximately $46,000 PROJECT TIME FRAME: 2 nd or 3 rd Quarter of PURPOSE & NEED: The MDM program will allow the District to have a Meter Management system that interfaces with the Aclara metering system and will give us a true system to manage the meters and data for our customers. This includes giving the Customer Service Representative s (CSR s) information to help customers manage their energy usage, and giving the customers the ability to save by viewing their hourly, daily or monthly usage through the customer s access to multiple Customer Service Portal or directly on their smart phone. This program also includes the ability for the District to offer to our customers the Prepaid Metering option. The Pay-as-you-go feature will provide to our customers a variety of options to help manage their energy use and control their utility costs, including the option to pick their due date and possibly eliminate the need for Security Deposits.

7 Southeastern Data Mobile Workforce Program DESCRIPTION: SEDC Mobile Workforce program connects all field service staff with our office staff in real time. This program also includes Dispatching ability for staff and is a totally paperless workflow system that update orders in realtime. COST: Approximately $27,000 PROJECT TIME FRAME: 2 nd or 3 rd Quarter of PURPOSE & NEED: The SEDC Mobile Workforce Management program helps reduce multiple trips for field personnel as all orders are sent via a wireless device. Eliminating the need to return to the office to deliver the information. This program also includes vehicle tracking for security and safety of all District vehicles and personnel with built-in AVL (Automated Vehicle Location) software and GPS capability. Mobile Workforce also streamlines the process of collections and help to avoid unnecessary disconnects and increase customer satisfaction. The software saves time and money by eliminating the need to re-key the information and reducing the risk of data entry errors and lost work orders.

8 SUBSATION/SCADA CAPITAL PROJECTS 2017

9 Glendale Substation 12 kv Take-out Pole Improvement DESCRIPTION: Three of the nine 12 kv power take-out structures were hit by a drunk driver last year. We replaced the three-pole structure with a single pole structure and moved it closer to the substation. This project is proposed to replace the remaining six poles to match the new construction. COST: $40, PROJECT TIME FRAME: 2-3 weeks PURPOSE & NEED: Currently the remaining structures are across the driveway from the substation and the overhead wires have to cross over the drive way. This is a hazard for any large trucks moving in and out of the storage yard. This project will make the sub look uniform, and will also make it safer. ASSOCIATED PROJECTS: Possible building remodel for additional storage and substation control building. This project would also make any changes to the yard easier to accomplish and free up more space in the yard.

12 Sandhills Sub to Overton Office Fiber Line DESCRIPTION: COST: Install fiber on the 5 miles of 69 kv line from Sandhills Substation to the Overton Office. Estimated at $109, PROJECT TIME FRAME: 2-4 months. PURPOSE & NEED: Currently we are using DSL to bring all communication from Sandhills and Logandale Substations back to the Overton office, we do have a fire wall at the substations that creates a tunnel back to the office, but the communication line from substation to office is vulnerable to cyber-attack. The completion of this fiber line would also be the first step in the link between the Tortoise Substation to the Overton Office and the Mesquite area to Overton area. Creating a fiber communication link between Moapa, Mesquite, and Overton. ASSOCIATED PROJECTS: Tortoise to Sandhills line and the Sandhills to Gila line.

15 Substation Meter Replacement DESCRIPTION: Replace the old Q1000 meters and outdated Energy Audit software with ION 7400 meters and Schneider PME reading software. COST: $40, for the 2017 budget. PROJECT TIME FRAME: The project started in 2016 with new software and 15 Meters. For the project to continue we will need 20 meters in 2017, 20 meters in 2018 and the remainder of the meters in PURPOSE & NEED: In 2010 we received notice that all Q1000 substation meters had reached end of life and Itron would no longer support or service them. In 2012, we received another notice that the reading software, Energy Audit, had also reached end of Life and it would no longer be supported by Itron. The software is running on a windows XP machine and in 2014 windows no longer supports XP, forcing an upgrade. At this point, our critical meters that we use daily for power forecasting and load calculations are at risk of failure. ASSOCIATED PROJECTS: None at this time.

16 Logandale GPS Clock / NTP Time Server and Serial to Ethernet Device Server. DESCRIPTION: The addition of a SEL-2488 sat clock/network time clock and a multiport device server to Logandale Substation. COST: $5,000 Includes SEL-2488 SAT clock, lantronix 16 port device server, cabling and misc. hardware. PROJECT TIME FRAME: 1 week to complete PURPOSE & NEED: Currently, we do not have time sync available for the Logandale protection relays. The sat clock that I am proposing serves two purposes, it will supply time sync for the substation and serve as a network time server for any NTP enabled device on the OPD network. The NTP time server is needed for time synchronization for many of our electronic devices. Some examples are, the new substation meters, the security alarm controllers, security cameras, and the list goes on and on. The addition of a multiport serial to Ethernet device is used to gain engineering access to the substation electronic equipment. ASSOCIATED PROJECTS: New Substation meters.

17 SEL Team Software DESCRIPTION: Purchase SEL Team software, this is used for collecting and reporting fault events so we can more accurately troubleshoot outages. It will also change protection relay passwords as needed and will be the go between software for user access. The SEL team software is needed to help satisfy Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) and FERC compliance requirements. COST: $20, one-time cost, no yearly maintenance fees, or setup fees. With support for as long as we own the product. PROJECT TIME FRAME: Approximately 1 week. PURPOSE & NEED: The SEL Team software is used to collect fault information from our protective relays. This information helps us to diagnose problems with our systems and trouble shoot where and what type of fault we had. With this information, we can better maintain our system and avoid future long term outages. It is also a password management software, it only allows access to relays by people with proper credentials, this is done by routinely changing passwords in all of the relays so that the only way to gain access is through the software. This is required for CIP compliance. ASSOCIATED PROJECTS: None

18 Regulator Controllers DESCRIPTION: Replace the six voltage regulator controllers at Pulsipher substation with SEL 2431 regulator controllers. COST: $7, PROJECT TIME FRAME: Approximately 2 weeks. PURPOSE & NEED: Our current controllers at Pulsipher Substation are 20+ years old and are no longer cost effective to repair when they fail. I am now getting more and more controllers that lose their mind, for a lack of better terms that will stop working until we go reset them. I have had spares in the past for when they fail but, I am getting low on spares. By replacing the controls in Pulsipher substation, this will give us modern, reliable voltage regulation and will give us a few spares in case of emergencies. ASSOCIATED PROJEC: None.

19 Dinosaur Substation Lighting Upgrade DESCRIPTION: Replace the existing substation lighting with LED light fixtures and raise them up for better working light. COST: $7, PROJECT TIME FRAME: Approximately 3-4 weeks. PURPOSE & NEED: When Dinosaur Substation was built, we agreed to install substation lighting that emits very limited light pollution. So, it was agreed upon that the lighting would only shine down and that the fixtures could not be higher than the wall, this makes for very inefficient lighting. Since then the technology and price of LED fixtures have made big advancements, making them cost effective. We are also having to change out bulbs and ballasts in the current fixtures on a regular basis. What I am proposing is to replace the current 9 metal halide fixtures with 5 LED fixtures, raise them up to between 25 to 35 feet and keep them turned off unless the alarm turns them on, or as needed. At which point they can be turned on by a switch at the gate, or over SCADA. ASSOCIATED PROJECTS: None

20 Field Tester for Metering Department The field tester would be a vital tool to metering, the company and to our customers. It would give us the ability to test meters at the location instead of doing a meter change and bringing meter back to warehouse to test, then contacting the customer. We usually leave the new meter in place at location and call customer with test results in place of going back, turning the customer s power off once again to install the original meter. With the new field tester, we can go test at location, use the customers load, get instant results and have an instant report with our customers. It will be a valuable trouble shooting tool, especially for high bill complaints. It will also help keep us in compliance with our policy of every meter should be tested every 5 years. It would make things more efficient for us. Thank you, Christian Woodruff Metering Supervisor

21 GILA SWITCH YARD / SUBSTATION DESCRIPTION: Gila Switch Yard is one of the substations associated with the new 138 kv line. The 138 kv line begins at Tortoise Substation in Moapa and ends at Dinosaur Substation in Mesquite. Gila will begin as a switch yard and then transformers can be added as the need arises. Cost: Approximately $80, (grading and fencing) PROJECT TIME FRAME: Completed during the 2017 calendar year

22 PURPOSE and NEED: To keep the permit active, we are required by BLM to show annual progress on the right of way. To satisfy those requirements, we will do the grading and fencing of Gila. We chose Gila, because it is an integral part of the future 138 kv line. This switch yard will allow us to provide some redundancy to the City of Mesquite. ASSOCIATED PROJECTS: Sandhills Substation ring bus and 138 kv line Tortoise to Dinosaur.

23 COMMUNITY SOLAR PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Overton Power District No. 5 Community Solar Project will be a 60 kw solar photovoltaic generation plant located inside Dinosaur Substation. We have chosen this site for a few reasons; first, we need to be able to feed the generation into our distribution system; secondly, this is a high visibility traffic area; and third, the environmental survey and fencing is already complete. The potential funding for the project will be provided by three entities; the District, the USDA Rural Development Grant Program, and the Nevada Governor's Office of Energy. COST: Labor & Overhead 50, Materials - Panels - Frames - Inverters - Transformer 90, Equipment 12, Contingency 10, Total Cost Without Grant Money $162, USDA Grant 22, Governor s Office of Energy 20, Total Cost for OPD $120,000.00

24 PROJECTED TIME FRAME: This Project Can Be Completed in 90 Days PURPOSE AND NEED: The customers of the District may directly participate in the project, purchase individual shares and receive energy credits from the generation. The credits will then be applied against their monthly bill for electric service. This will give our customers who might not have the available space or the correct facing roof, the ability to have solar generation. This project will provide visible evidence that the District supports renewable sources of generation; and it will help our employee s become familiar with the building and maintenance of a solar generation facility for any future needs we might have.

25 DINOSAUR to FALCON RIDGE LINE DESCRIPTION: The Dinosaur Substation to Falcon Ridge Substation Line is a 138 kv transmission project which is designed to connect the two substations. The line is a single circuit transmission line that will be constructed primarily using wood poles and with approximately 100 MW of designed capacity. Various phases of the project have been under construction for the past two years. Prior phases included right-of-way acquisition, field staking, and dirt work. COST: It is estimated that $400,000 will be required to complete the project. PROJECT TIME FRAME: The District plans to complete the project in year Material procurement and delivery will take 3-4 months and the construction will take approximately three months. PURPOSE & NEED: Currently, Mesquite is fed by two transmission lines. Completion of this project will complete the loop between the Mesquite Substation and Dinosaur Substation which will provide reliability and additional operational capability in the Mesquite area. This project will provide a way for OPD to take existing portions of the 138 kv line out of service for maintenance or repairs without having an outage. It also provides a means to install additional transformers to increase capacity in and near the industrial and technology area in Mesquite.
