ITO – System Impact Study Agreement (SISA) Process

Matt Harward

November 16, 2010

26

System Impact Study Agreement

• ITO sends the SIS Agreement within 30 days of request

• Customer has 15 days to return executed agreement

• Agreement Terms:– Study begins on the latter of the return of the 

signed Agreement or Deposit

– Both Agreement and Deposit must be returned to begin the study

– The ITO will exercise due diligence to complete the study within 60 Days

27

Justification:

• Good utility and business practice– ITO needs mechanism to solve deposit and payment 

issue

• Consistent with standard business practices of other utilities and RTOs/ISOs

• Consistent with other OATT provisions:– FAS requirements

– LGIP pro forma procedures and agreements

• Consistent with just and reasonable non‐discriminatory administration of the OATT– Same terms for all Eligible Customers

Thermal Issue #1

• Season Observed

• 2019 Summer Peak

• Contingent Element

• Pineville 722 – Pineville Station 69 kV

• Monitored Element

• KU Park Plant – Pineville Station 69kV, 101.2%

47

Thermal Issue #1

• Worst Case Scenario• Loss of Brown 3, generation replaced from TVA

• Mitigation• The rating for the monitored element was changed at the last 

minute

• The overload does not occur in the 2010 Base Case Series due to a lower load forecast

• Recommendation• Verified

• Address this issue if it arises again due to load forecast changes

48

Thermal Issue #2

• Season Observed• 2010 Summer Peak, 2014 Summer Peak, 2019 Summer Peak

• Contingent Element• Middleton TR 2 (138kV/69kV)

• Monitored Element• Middletown Transformer #2 – Middletown Transformer #6 69 

kV

• 2010 – 114.6%, 2014 – 101.4%, 2019 – 126.0%

49

Thermal Issue #2• Worst Case Scenario

• Loss of CR 6, generation replaced from Brown and TVA (10S)

• Loss of CR 6, generation replaced from Trimble Co. and Cinergy (14S)

• Loss of GH 1, maximize Trimble Co., scaling down other LGE/KU units (19S)

• Mitigation

• Close bus tie switch between Middletown Transformer #1 and Middletown Transformer #2

• A project was created to upgrade the overloaded facility ASAP

• Recommendation

• Document this as a new switching procedure or mitigation in 2010 TEP

• Verify model ratings for Middletown Transformer #1 – Middletown Transformer #2 bus tie switch

50

Thermal Issue #3

• Season Observed• 2010 Summer Peak

• Contingent Element• Green County Transformer 161kV/69kV (EKPC)

• Monitored Element

• Taylor County – Mile Lane 69 kV, 103.7%

51

• Worst Case Scenario• Loss of MC 4, generation replaced from Brown and AEP

• Mitigation• LG&E/KU has identified an effective switching procedure which 

eliminates this issue

• Project #134 upgrades Taylor County to Mile Lane 69 kV in 2015

• Recommendation• Mitigation is effective

• Report this as a new switching procedure in 2010 TEP

52

Thermal Issue #3

• Season Observed• 2014 Winter Peak (103.73%), 2019 Winter Peak (112.71%)

• Contingent Element• Blue Lick 345kV/161kV Transformer, SW03 (open Shelby Co. 

South – Shelby Co. N53) 

• Monitored Element• Bardstown Industrial Tap – East Bardstown, 69 kV

53

Thermal Issue #4

• Worst Case Scenario• Loss of Trimble County 2 followed by maximization of Brown plant and 

scaling down other E.ON units 

• Mitigation• EKPC equipment is the limiting factor. E.ON equipment limit not 

exceeded

• LG&E/KU’s Blue Lick Transformer serves only EKPC load. This is electrically equivalent to an EKPC outage

• Recommendation• Coordinate with EKPC to re‐evaluate this switching procedure and 

determine if it is still an effective solution to this potential overload due to outage of LG&E/KU equipment

54

Thermal Issue #4

• Season Observed• 2019 Winter Peak

• Contingent Element• Nelson Co. 138kV/69kV Transformer, SW04 (open Bardstown 

Industrial Tap – East Bardstown, 69 kV)

• Monitored Element• Bullitt Co. 161kV/69kV Transformer, 111.2%

55

Thermal Issue #5

• Worst Case Scenario

• Loss of BR 3, generation replaced from small CT’s, Trimble County, and Cinergy

• Mitigation

• Switching procedure #4 opens the free flowing interconnect at East Bardstown

• EKPC issue caused by outage of EKPC facility (Nelson 138/69)

• Recommendation

• This issue does not occur without LG&E/KU switching procedure (Bardstown Ind. Tap – E. Bardstown)

• Coordinate with EKPC to develop a solution to this potential issue due to LG&E/KU switching procedure

Thermal Issue #5

• Season Observed

• 2019 Winter Peak

• Contingent Element

• East Frankfort – West Frankfort 138kV, SW44 (do not re‐energize West Frankfort 138kV/69kV Transformer)

• Monitored Element

• Shelbyville – Shelbyville East 69kV, 103.3%

57

Thermal Issue #6

• Worst Case Scenario• Loss of BR 3, generation replaced from small CT’s, Trimble 

County, and Cinergy 

• Mitigation• This problem is not observed in the 2010 Base Case Series

• Recommendation• Verified

• Address this issue if it arises in future model series

58

Thermal Issue #6

• Season Observed• 2019 Winter Peak

• Contingent Element• Bonnieville– Leitchfield – Ohio Co. 69kV, SW54

(breaker – breaker)

• Monitored Element• Central Hardin – Stephensburg 69kV, 104.3%  (EKPC)

59

Thermal Issue #7

• Worst Case Scenario• Loss of Green River 4 with power replaced by Trimble County 

then Cinergy 

• Mitigation• EKPC problem due to LG&E/KU outage

• EKPC must fix this problem and has been notified

• Recommendation• Continue coordination with EKPC to solve this problem

60

Thermal Issue #7

Summary

• 2 Voltage Issues• 1 Low Voltage: Mitigation could cause overloads in EKPC

• 1 High Voltage: Known issue reported since 2008

• Both issues require coordination

61

Summary

• 7 Thermal Issues• 3 Single‐element Issues, 4 Resulting from Switching Procedures

• 3 Issues Require Coordination

• 3 Overloads Above 110% (only 1 before 2019)

• 2 Mitigated by New/Ad Hoc Switching Procedures

• 2 Not Observed in 2010 Series

E.ON U.S. Stakeholder Meeting

SPC UpdateDick Chapman

November 16, 2010

2

What is the Stakeholder Planning Committee:

Attachment K of the E.ON U.S. OATT requires that transmission providers meet with and allow stakeholders input into the transmission planning process

Attachment K requires the formation of a Stakeholder Planning Committee (SPC) to act as a standing committee, providing a forum for stakeholders to provide input into the transmission planning process

Membership in the SPC is open to all interested parties (to include neighboring transmission systems and state commission representatives)

The Transmission Owner and the ITO are not formal members of the SPC, but will be invited by the SPC to participate in all SPC activities

3

SPC Objectives

Provide a forum for stakeholders to provide comments on the development of accurate data inputs for study simulations, the appropriateness of study simulations being performed, and the correctness of the execution of study simulations

Enable members to review study results as they are performed over the study development cycle

Provide members an opportunity to produce comments and reports

Be responsible for forming an Economic Expansion Planning Subcommittee (EPC)

4

SPC Development Process

SPC Kick-off meeting was held on July 14, 2009– Presentation by Keith Yocum of E.ON on Attachment K SPC requirements and

concept– Member questions were answered– Chairman was selected– Future Meeting Dates and Frequency (Monthly initially) were determined.

16 Stakeholders are members of the SPC • SPC Standard Agenda developed (8/26/09) and approved (9/30/09)• SPC Processes and Procedures document was developed (8/26/09) and

approved (9/30/09)• 11 SPC meetings held to date

5

Issues before the SPC are to be resolved on a consensus basis whenever possible

Certain circumstances may require a vote. If so, Each SPC member’s designated representative shall have one vote, which shall be weighted based on the nature of the interest represented by that member as set forth tom the right:
