Drainage System Capacity Informational Document

25Hz Power Generation Capacity

Our older drainage pumps require 25Hz power. The modern standard is 60Hz. Turbine 4, Turbine 5 and our EMDs (back-up generators) generate 25Hz power. We also have Frequency Changers that convert 60Hz power provided by Entergy to 25Hz. The graphic below shows how much 25Hz power we can currently generate with the sources available.

41.25 MW

Currently Available

44MW of power needed at peak demand

There are known communication issues that are preventing the Pumping and Power dashboard from reflecting the actual pump status.
This is not affecting the pumping capacity at these stations. In the event that there is a widespread power outage, there could be further communication issues that would prevent the Pumping and Power dashboard from updating in real time.
