Abstract

This chapter explores how the lean quality principles and green initiatives are applied in capital project equipment installation of electric substations and line rehabilitation from the initial feasibility studies to the plant-in-service phase. Equipment installation process predicaments induce cost overruns and unnecessary extended electrical outages as well as extraneous strain on the bulk transmission system. Demand side management issues are best mitigated through astute planning of the power supply resources, load curtailment initiatives, and transmission flow contingency schemes.
