Other upgrades included new station LED lighting, ground grid improvements and new 48Vdc battery back-up system. The SCADA system upgrades included remote monitoring and control of all transformer alarms, and all intelligent electronic devices installed with the design, as well as radio telemetry, and control house environmental upgrades. New concrete foundations were designed to support the new larger transformer, regulators and static support steel poles.
