Minnakota Power's Milton R. Young Station Unit 1 was put into service in 1970. The original electrical distribution equipment is approaching 40 years of age. Over the years, it has been expanded to support plant additions. Electrical distribution equipment typical has a 20- to 30-year reliable life, after that period, life extension measures such as retrofitting, refurbishment, or equipment replacement is necessary to maintain a reliable electrical system. With the demand for electric power expected to increase by about 25%, over the next 10 years, Minnkota Power's Milton R. Young Station has begun major efforts to perform life extension projects of major equipment such as the turbines and generators. For these types of projects to be successful, the electrical distribution equipment at Milton R. Young Station needed to be evaluated.
