It is important that organizations providing services are able to develop and implement preparedness measures to maintain and restore required services in the event of a disaster.
Because many of the services depend on electricity, an electricity continuity plan (ECP) and an electricity continuity system (ECS) can help maintain and restore necessary services in power failure that is caused by a disaster. IEC 63152 describes the concept and minimum requirements of ECP and ECS based on a business continuity plan (BCP).
However, depending on the type, degree, and quality of services, there are various ways to respond to disasters, and ECP and ECS cannot be created in the same way.
This document is designed to serve as a guideline for the design of basic parts by showing the process and points to be noted in the preparation of ECP and ECS for power outages based on normal service.
It is assumed that ECP and ECS will be useful to urban developers, urban operators, public service providers, disaster managers and system integrators, and manufacturers of systems related equipment and facilities.
