• W83001529 abstract "This study addresses several aspects of the ecology and control of wildlife damage to electric substations because the amount of existing research is not sufficient to make informed decisions about how best to minimize that damage. Records of 121 incidents of animal-caused faults showed that 78°I° of the faults were caused by squirrels and raccoons and an average of 2,511 customers lost service doting the outage caused by such a fault. Animal damage control measures were evaluated by observing challenges to cool measures by raccoons and squirrels at a substation. The control measures were breached twice because they had not been properly applied. In 1994, 301 transmission and distribution substations in Michigan were sampled and categorized based on various structural and habitat characteristics. Significant relationships (p < 0.10) were found between faulted substations and the number of nests in the substation, the distance of water from the substation, and the beam type used in the substation. Proc. East. Wildl. Damage Mgznt. Conf. 7;132-138. 1997. Animals often use man-made structures for den or nesting sites, foraging sites, or as travel routes, and these activities can cause damage to the structures. Wildlife intrusions into electric power substations and the subsequent damage to those substations is a problem that has received more attention recently by those in the electric utility industry. Wildlife damage to substations comes in the forth of outages, direct equipment damage, and safely and health hazards to maintenance personnel, and it is among the major causes of momentary outages to substations (Warren 1992, Substation Security Working Group 1993). Equipment repair, revenue lost while service is down, and the indirect costs of reduced consumer confidence are some of the expenses associated with power outages. Paula (1990) indicates that some animal-caused outages may cost as much as $500,000. Electrio utility companies have used a variety of techniques in an attempt to reduce wildlife damage to substations. Among the techniques are chemical repellents, fence barriers, lights, decoys (artificial owls, hawks, snakes, etc.), anti-climbing devices, lineguards, electrical fences, bushing guards, and other structural barriers (Fiske 1990, Substation Security Working Group 1993). 132 This study addresses several aspects of the ecology and control of wildlife damage to electric substations because the amount of existing research dealing with wildlife damage to substations is not sufficient to make informed decisions about how best to minimize that damage. Therefore, our objectives were to determine characteristics of substations and the surrounding environment that are associated with animal damage and to examine the effectiveness of preventative measures. These objectives were accomplished by completing three different investigations. These investigations were1) the examination of reports of animal-caused faults, 2) the observation of how effectively the current animal damage control measures keep animals out of a substation, 3)the characterization of electric substations based on the relationship between animal-caused faults and structural and habitat characteristics. This research was requested and funded by Consumers Power because the company was interested in reducing their losses due to wildlife damage." @default.
