Overhead power distribution systems and methods for modular expandable outdoor busway

A modular system for distributing electric power, the system comprising:

• a plurality of columns, each of the plurality of columns spaced apart from one another;
• an electric power distribution system configured to supply electric power, the electric power distribution system elevated by the plurality of columns and coupled to an electric power source, wherein the electric power distribution system comprises an electric busway;
• a canopy at least partially enclosing the electric power distribution system, the canopy structurally supported by the plurality of columns and spanning between adjacent ones of the plurality of columns;
• and
• a plurality of electric vehicle chargers coupled to the plurality of columns, each of the plurality of electric vehicle chargers electrically coupled to the electric power distribution system.

A freestanding outdoor modular enclosure system for busway applications, the system comprising:

• a busway system configured to deliver electricity to installed loads and/or receive power from utility or non-utility power sources;
• one or more load bearing vertical pillars configured to be anchored into the ground;
• a horizontal beam system which is topped on the one or more load bearing vertical pillars, wherein the horizontal beam system supports a weight load of the busway system;
• and
• an enclosure to house the busway system to limit exposure to weather elements, wherein the freestanding outdoor modular enclosure system is modular and expandable and can be extended in modules to accommodate specific installation requirements, wherein each of the one or more load bearing vertical pillars includes a vertical section including a crush zone being a replaceable portion of a vertical pillar designed to absorb and/or withstand a vehicular impact and a screw pile anchoring system with a leveling plate.
