SYSTEM
Our facilities are located on a 10 acre site in downtown
dyersburg. The office facilities, dispatching, engineering, and SCADA system
are located in East Court Street level of the building. The warehouse, crew
quarters, garage, PCB storage and the parking garage for our fleet are located
on the Cedar Street level.
We have ten distribution substations
connected to our looped 69kv transmission system. The 69kv transmission system
is served by three TVA delivery points of which any two can serve all of DES's
load well into the future. These ten substations serve our 12,500 customers
through a network of over 395 miles of distribution lines.
We use our
Automated Mapping and Facilities Management (AM\FM) system daily to prepare
work orders and plan future system upgrades. We use a computer controlled
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to monitor all critical
components of the System. The SCADA is connected electronically to a computer
system called First Alert which broadcast any abnormal condition over the radio
system to alpha\numeric pagers. This allows all key personnel to monitor the
critical components in all substations remotely.
