Permanent Solution for Emergency Restoration

摘要

Dominion now stocks replacement transmission structures to enable its "do it once and walk away" strategy. Imagine standing in a swamp with knee-deep mud, rain pouring down and mosquitoes swarming on a hot muggy day in July. You are watching a 500-kV tower - destroyed by a tornado the night before - being hauled away so a temporary structure can be placed into the line and power can be restored. Now imagine it is three months later, the swamp still has knee-deep mud, mosquitoes are still swarming, and it is a bright and sunny humid day. The temporary structure installed in the 500-kV line is being dissembled and replaced with a permanent structure. Deja vu?
