c.Method of Service

2

1. Involve us as early as possible in the site selection process so that we can determine the best method of service.

2. Determining the proper method of service helps optimize electric service.

Method of Service is determined by several factors:

1. Electrical load (DEMAND in kW and USAGE in kWh)

2. Nature of the prospect’s electrical load

3. Infrastructure available in proximity of a particular site

4. Cost and practicality (4:1 non-fuel revenue credit)

Method of Service

When a business requires new electric service, please keep in mind….

Loads greater than 15 MW generally will be evaluated to determine if service is provided directly from transmission system (115 kV or 230 kV).

Special service requirements, such as the need for alternate or dual feed service, will require additional charges.

How we Develop a Rate Quote

With some understanding of the customer’s operations, the utility professional can help determine load factor, which is helpful in estimating power cost.

We need:

Peak demand in kW (maximum rate at which power is consumed)

Consumption in kWh (amount consumed per month)

Delivery voltage required

Approximate hours of daily operation (if available)

From Generation to the Customer

Transmission Line Notes:

Transmission Line – Very large industrial or commercial customers are sometimes served from transmission lines when load requirements or unusual circumstances justify

Rights of Way – Transmission lines are located on purchased or leased rights of way – making them very expensive to maintain, alter or expand Can be from 100 ft up to 200 ft wide.

Distribution - Underground distribution, 15 ft. wide. Overhead distribution up to 30 ft. wide.

• Time-of-Use Rate – cost varies according to time of day; provides cost savings if a customer can adjust load to off-peak times.

c.Water-to-Electric Analogy

Voltage (volts) is like pressure in the pipe (in pounds per square inch)

kW Demand (of kW) is similar to the flow rate of water in the pipe (gallons per minute). Peak electric demand is highest used 30 minutes within a month.

Consumption (of kWh) is similar to the gallons of water in the bucket. For determining the power bill, the period utilized is a month.

c.Power Reliability and Power Quality

22

Utilities distinguish between these two terms, usually based upon how long the event lasts

Power Reliability refers to whether the power is on or off – usually represents outages greater than five seconds. Power reliability is impacted by weather, animals, vehicles, equipment malfunction, and sometimes utility operations. Alternative feeds and generators are back-up power systems that may be purchased to improve reliability.

c.Power Reliability and Power Quality

23

Power Quality relates to the “purity” of the power that flows into the facility. Power quality incidents include sags, surges, transients, bugs, and other “glitches.” These events usually have short durations (fractions of a second). Power quality requirements are often driven by the customer’s equipment needs. Power quality performance may be impacted by neighboring customers, the power company, or other equipment inside the customer’s facility. The solutions to power quality issues are highly customized and typically occur on the customer’s side of the utility meter. Some solutions include UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) and other systems, which are designed for intermittent short-term voltage support.

Power Reliability and Power Quality

Dominion can help design protective schemes to minimize interruptions on both sides of the meter:

Design coordination of production equipment

Onsite back-up generation

UPS systems

Alternate or dual feed service

Voltage regulation (on utility side of meter)

• Customer contracts with Dominion to purchase specified amounts of renewable energy as determined by the customer.• Renewable energy supplier will sign a power purchase agreement with Dominion equal to the amount of renewable energy to be purchased under the customer’s contract.• The remainder of the customer’s energy requirements, as well as all of the customer’s capacity requirements, will continue to be provided under their existing Rate Schedule GS-3 or GS-4.
