The speaker will be\n\nDillon Ballinger\, Distribution Engineer\ , Alameda Municipal Power and his presentation will cover:\n\n- How to use pole loading software to implement good designs and help reduce warehouse inventory\n- Strategies to support the pole (guying\, slacking\, mid‑se t poles\, and stubbing)\n- Strategies to prevent pole overturn and failure \n- Sizing a pole to anticipate and accommodate the needs of all attached members\n- Using visual clues to improve design perspective through contex tual information and environmental factors\n- Utilizing material specifica tions from manufacturers and the warehouse to model with precision and con fidence\n- Understanding riser location for vehicular traffic avoidance\, pole replacement locating\, and pole climbing space requirements\n- Identi fying opportunities to design clearances to maintain safe work conditions\ n\nAlameda Municipal Power (AMP) is a department of the City of Alameda\, California. It was founded in 1887 and is the oldest municipal electric ut ility in California. AMP has approximately 85 pole miles of overhead distr ibution lines\, 192 circuit miles of underground distribution lines\, 7 po le miles of overhead transmission lines\, and 2 circuit miles of undergrou nd transmission lines. It serves approximately 34\,250 customers\, compris ed of about 30\,161 residential customers and 3\,711 commercial customers\ , and 378 other users and has a peak demand of 62 megawatts.\n\nElectric u tilities have system reliability as a key goal for their operations to the customers that they serve. Electric utility providers strive for an overh ead electrical grid designed to withstand the tests of weather and time. O verhead line design and construction is a key component to system reliabil ity\, which is commonly measured and defined by SAIDI and SAIFI indices. A MP’s pole loading and modeling design process will be discussed to highl ight on how AMP maintains its exceptional reputation with its customers.\n \nSpeaker(s): Dillon Ballinger\, Distribution Engineer\, Alameda Municipal Power\, \n\nAgenda: \nTime: No-host social at 5:30 pm\; Presentation at 6 :15pm\; Dinner at 7:15 pm\; Presentation continues at 8:00 pm\; Adjourn by 9:00 pm.\n\nPlace: Zio Fraedo’s\, 611 Gregory Lane\, Pleasant Hill.
