Public Utility/Service Commission Renewable Energy Technologies Resiliency Ripple Effect or Impact Smart Grid Working Group/Task Force The body responsible for regulating investor-owned utilities at the State level. A suite of technologies that use energy sources that renew themselves constantly over relatively short periods of time—months or years—instead of centuries, as is the case with fossil fuels. The ability to respond effectively to an energy emergency and to recover quickly from damage. A resilient energy system is not necessarily damage-resistant. Rather, it is able to continue operating despite damage, and to return quickly to normal operations when damage occurs. Since energy systems are not 100 percent damage proof, resiliency is considered to be as important as damage prevention. Negative effects from an energy disruption that occur between essential services (lateral movement) such as from banking to telecommunications. These are also termed serviceto-service effects or impacts. An electricity delivery system that monitors, protects, and automatically optimizes the operation of its interconnected elements from central and distributed generators through the high-voltage network and distribution system, to industrial users and commercial building automation systems, to energy storage installations, and to residential consumers and their thermostats, electric vehicles, appliances, and other household devices. The team chosen to develop and in some cases implement portions of the EAP. 82 | Appendix A – Glossary of Key Terms
Appendix B. Local Government Energy Assurance Priority Checklist The following checklist is for use by local governments in developing EAPs that affect their key assets and services. Local governments have three significant energy assurance priority needs. ■■ ■■ ■■ Backup generators, tested and in operating condition, in numbers adequate to power key assets (facilities, systems, and components) and fuel to operate them for a minimum of 72 hours. This necessitates identifying critical government assets (e.g., health and safety-related services—fire, emergency medical services, law enforcement, communications and IT systems, public hospitals, public works, etc.) and determining their respective minimum energy requirements. Fuel available for transportation for emergency responders (fire, police, medical, public works, maintenance personnel of publicly-owned utilities, gasoline and diesel fuel trucks, etc.). Designated trained personnel to operate generators and perform other emergency services to assure continuity of essential energy-dependent government functions through response and initial recovery. Local Government Energy Continuity Checklist Local Government Critical Asset Energy Use Assessment Complete? 1. 2. 3. 4. Inventory key assets, identifying ownership, management, and a point-of-contact for energy emergencies and coordination of continuity plans. Identify local government Key Assets based on their essential functions and impacts if disrupted. Identify energy sources and requirements for these essential functions. Identify cost-effective backup energy alternatives. Assuring Energy Continuity (Electric Power and Fuel Supply) Complete? 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Maintain adequate inventory of generators in identified locations and alternative procedures to relocate them rapidly in an emergency; develop and implement procedures to regularly test generator functionality. Arrange for, and continuously monitor fuel storage (diesel and gasoline) in readily accessible locations in adequate capacity to provide a minimum of 72 hours of power to operate key assets. Set up contracts with fuel suppliers and procedures for emergency purchase authorizations for fuel acquisition during emergencies. Put in place the capability to deliver fuel citywide by tanker trucks, including personnel (primary and alternate) to operate the refueling equipment and trucks; designate re-fueling routes. Develop procedures for prioritizing fuel allocations in emergencies that result in prolonged disruptions. 10. Investigate cost-effective alternative energy sources to serve as backup power sources; identify ways to minimize power use (e.g., cycling systems on and off; curtailing power to non-essential operations; switching to energy- efficient lights; changing the set point for the heating and air conditioning; etc.). 11. Develop plans to ensure that communications are available covering all energy emergency operations. Local Government Energy Assurance Guidelines – Version 2.0 | 83
