City of Glenwood Springs Five Year Plan
CLP Engineering built a comprehensive distribution model of the entire City distribution infrastructure. The system data was provided to CLP Engineering by the City of Glenwood Springs in a GIS format. The ETAP model has approximately 5000 buses and includes substations, overhead lines, underground lines, switches, relays, fuses, transformers, and loads.
CLP Engineering used the model to run base-line load-flow studies and identify system capacity issues, vulnerabilities, and other concerns based on future anticipated loads. Using the outcome of the analysis, CLPE provided near term five-year construction work plans as well as future work plans for the next 10+ years for the City to consider.
