UPDATE:
Island Mode testing has been completed for the day.
CPFM Utilities and Energy is scheduling Island Mode testing for Wednesday, March 29th between the hours of 8:00 am and 1:00 pm. The date was moved to Wednesday, March 29th following feedback from campus partners.
The Island Mode testing will follow-up on the December failure to determine the root cause of the problem. The island mode procedure will be attempted several times throughout the scheduled test period. As a result, short duration power outages may occur at any time throughout the testing period. Utilities and Energy will have engineers who designed the equipment and service technicians onsite to assist us in determining the cause of the failure. The electrical distribution system redundancy and resiliencies depend upon the properly functioning power generation system and island mode capabilities.
The Utilities and Energy would like to thank the campus community with the timely feedback and being flexible for this critical testing.
Special Instructions: Please shut down and unplug all multi-function copier devices as well as any printers during scheduled power outages. The software on these machines can be negatively affected due to the power surge when the power is turned back on. A power surge can corrupt the clone files in the machines and change preconfigured settings. For questions, please contact Kati Kronholm at 541-346-5370 or katik@uoregon.edu.
