Questions

2

Expectations/Goals • Communicate outage coordination process • Communicate significant planned 2013 Maine transmission equipment outages that could impact generation constraints • Communicate specific outage coordination changes to limit impact on potential generation constraints • Respond to outage coordination questions from the audience

3

Operational Responsibilities and Authorities • ISO – Central Dispatch and Day-to-day operation of the New England system • Transmission facilities over which it has operational control • Generators, Dispatchable, Asset Related Demand, Real-Time Demand Response Resource, Real-Time Emergency Generator Resource • Includes decisions, instructions and orders issued to an Local Control Center (LCC) or Market Participant

• LCC – Assist ISO to meet the Central Dispatch objectives • Responsible for security of transmission facilities • SCADA functions, security of lower voltage facilities, switching and tagging

• Market Participants – Will contribute to Central Dispatch objectives in accordance to • ISO Operating Procedures, Market Rules, Procedures and Manuals, and Transmission Operating Guides

4

ISO Information Policy • Limits type of information that can be communicated with participants – Market sensitive information • Specific transmission equipment outage information • Specific impacts on generators and system transfer capabilities

– Currently revising what information can be communicated • • • •

Will allow potentially limiting interfaces to be identified Will allow communicating a range of typical limits Will not allow communicating generator specific impacts Will not allow communicating discrete dependences on changes to interface limits

5

Minimum Interconnection Standard Operational Considerations • New England generators interconnect per the Minimum Interconnection Standard (MIS) contained in the ISO Tariff – Upgrades are required to preserve existing all-lines-in transfer capability – Potentially results in generation export constraints • MIS Planning Studies may not identify magnitude of generation constraints • Facility out conditions may result in larger generation export constraints

– ISO/CMP/BHE Operations determines actual transfer limits – When generation restrictions occur ISO Market Rules dictate commitment and dispatch

Transmission Outage Coordination Process • Transmission outage plans are submitted to the Maine LCC by the Transmission Owner (TO) – The TO transmission outage plan considers • • • • •

Work can be completed safely Work can be completed timely (crews/materials/environmental) Minimize equipment outage durations Combine equipment outages on common facilities Minimize disruptions to the transmission system and maintain reliability

16

Transmission Outage Coordination Process • The Maine LCC: – Conforms to ISO Operational Procedures – Conducts preliminary reliability assessment and must approve the request prior to ISO review – Identifies scheduling conflicts between generation and transmission – Explores opportunities to reposition outages to minimize reliability, economic and capacity impacts

• Approved transmission outage requests are then Submitted to ISO

17

Transmission Outage Coordination Process (cont.) • ISO outage coordinators will:

– Review each outage request specifically looking at three critical aspects

• Does the outage have an adverse impact on system reliability either locally or systemwide? • Does the outage cause significant congestion on the system resulting in a substantial economic penalty? • Is there an opportunity to reposition the outage to minimize reliability, economic, or generator impacts?

– Perform a detailed reliability study on each request – For those that have Inter-Area Impact, coordinate efforts with adjacent Areas – Review each new outage request and determine if it contains market sensitive information

• A transmission outage that removes a generating unit from providing energy to the transmission system is considered “market sensitive” • Based on the ISO Info Policy these types of outages are not published to the stakeholders • Those outage requests which are not market sensitive are uploaded to the Long-Term Outage Report (updated every day) • Those outage requests which are not market sensitive are uploaded to the Short-Term Outage Report (updated every 15 minutes)

18

Generator Outage Coordination Process • Generator outage plans are submitted to the Maine LCC by the Generator Owner (GO). The outage request is assigned an outage ID and a priority. • The Maine LCC conducts preliminary reliability assessment and must approve the request prior to ISO review • Approved generator outage requests are then submitted to ISO • ISO Short- and Long-Term outage coordinators will: – Perform similar analyses as described previously for the transmission outage coordination process

19

CMP Outage Coordination Two teams are working on outage planning and coordination

Construction Sequence Team

• Consists of representatives from CMP and Burns & McDonnell • •

CMP – System Planning, System Operations and Engineer BMcD – Project Management, Design Engineering, Construction Management and Outage Coordination

Outage Coordination Team

• Consists of representatives from CMP and Burns & McDonnell • •

CMP – System Operations BMcD – Project Management and Outage Coordination

20

CMP Construction Sequence Team • Develops step by step sequencing of construction activities required to construct and energize each substation or line section • Detailed plans were developed at each substation and transmission line corridor • Plans are reviewed with the appropriate contractors and altered if necessary

• Facilitates and coordinates the development of contractor schedules • Ensures contractors’ schedules match the outage schedule

• Coordinates materials to ensure all major materials are on hand prior to outages

21

Construction Sequence Plan

Construction Sequence Plan

24

CMP Outage Coordination Team • Develops and maintains comprehensive outage schedule • To integrate substations, communications networks, and transmission lines

• Initiate and monitor all Outage Request Applications • Ensure contractors can support the outage start date • Based on outage constraints, system reliability, and constructability

• Ensures that all documentation requirements are in accordance with ISO procedures • Communicate with ISO to identify and mitigate outages that may not be allowed due to a system impact

25

Requirements of Specific Outages • Specific outages may have special requirements that are out of the ordinary • The MPRP team has used a number of special requirements to minimize the impacts of specific outages, including: • Install Temporary Protection Systems, including temporary Special Protection System • Modifications to existing Protection Systems • Construction of Temporary Work Around • Implementation of Special Operating Configurations • Live Line efforts

26

CMP Outage Applications • Central Maine Power had a total of 1,200 outage applications in 2012

• The MPRP Project has submitted 463 outage applications for the project through February 15, 2013 • The outages range in duration from a few hours to six months in length • The MPRP team anticipates that there will be an additional 500 – 600 outages needed to finish the program

27

Maine 2013 Transmission Outages • Changes to plan typically result in increased construction cost – Costs include overtime, additional contractor resources, expedited material, additional engineering and outage coordination resources, environmental mitigation, schedule and remobilization costs, permitting, etc.

• Outages that have the potential for significant impact to generators in 2013 will be discussed – Long (greater than one week) duration outages – Significant potential generation constraints

28

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM LIMITATIONS All facility in and single facility out conditions

Transmission System Limits Impact On Generation Constraints • Two categories of transmission system interface limits • Wide Area – 13 Interfaces – Typically Include 345 kV and 115 kV facilities • • • • • • • • • • • • •

New Brunswick to New England Interface New England to New Brunswick Interface New England to New Brunswick + Keene Road Export Interface Orrington South Interface Orrington North Interface Orrington Import Interface Maine Yankee South Interface Surowiec South Interface Maine to New Hampshire Interface New Hampshire to Maine Interface Seabrook South Interface Northern New England Scobie & 394 Interface North to South Interface

– All lines in limits typically range from ~1000 MW to ~4000 MW – Single Line Out Limits typically reduce limits by ~500 MW to 800 MW 30

Transmission System Limits Impact On Generation Constraints • Local Area - 7 Interfaces – Typically include 115 kV facilities • • • • • • •

Keene Road Export Interface Bangor Hydro Export Interface Keene Road + Bangor Hydro Export Interface Wyman Hydro Export Interface Inner Rumford Export Interface Outer Rumford Export Interface Western Maine Export Interface

– All lines in limits typically range from ~150 MW to ~500 MW – Single Line Out Limits typically reduce limits by ~50 MW to 100 MW – Most significant recent generations constraints have been from local area constraints

31

Local Area - Low Network Strength • A weak transmission network is limited in its ability to transmit power • Real power (MW) transfer beyond Surge Impedance Loading (SIL) requires reactive power (MVAr) supply

• SIL is the loading of a line where the reactive losses equal the reactive charging of the line • Typical limits for 115 kV interfaces – Thermal limits about 200 to 250 MW per line – Voltage / stability limits may be 50 to 200 MW per line • The longer the line the lower the limit
