FERC Order 890 – Planning Principles• Transmission Planning: FERC requires a more inclusive

transmission planning process incorporating nine principles:(1) coordination(2) openness(3) transparency(4) information exchange(5) comparability(6) dispute resolution(7) regional participation(8) economic planning studies(9) cost allocation for new projects




Types of Planning Studies• NERC/WECC Reliability Studies – meet NERC/WECC

standards and coordination through CCPG.• Sub-regional Coordination (CCPG) - identify congestion and

overloads and address integration of new resources and loads

• Ten Year Transmission Study – evaluates the system to ensure we can serve our customers requirements/load growth

• Generator Interconnection and Transmission Service Requests




Types of Planning Studies

• WAPA invites the stakeholders to submit any transmission study requests for review and discussion

•WAPA’s point of contact for study requests is [email protected].

2018 NERC/WECC Compliance Report

• Performed Annually• Area Studied

• Colorado• Wyoming• Western Nebraska• Western South Dakota


Purpose

• Evaluate the steady state post-contingency response of the Integrated System

• Evaluate transient and voltage stability• Identify problem areas due to system load growth• Meet NERC/WECC Transmission Planning Standards


Study Procedure

• CCPG Compliance Study• Cases To Be Examined

• 2020 Heavy Summer (Peak - Year Two)• 2020 Light Summer (Off-Peak – Year Two)• 2023 Heavy Summer (Peak – Year Five)• 2028 Heavy Summer (Peak – Year Nine)

• System Intact Criteria• 100% Continuous Rating Loading• 0.95 p.u. – 1.05 p.u. Voltage

• Contingency Analysis Criteria• 100% Continuous/Emergency Rating Loading• 0.90 p.u. – 1.10 p.u. Voltage


WAPA-RMR TPL Studies

• Short Circuit Evaluation• Obtain Short Circuit Data from Maintenance/HQ• Compare to Breaker Interrupting Capability

• Sensitivity• Stress Paths and Compare results to CCPG Results

RMR2018 Annual Ten Year Network Study

Stakeholder Meeting 2018

ObjectivesWestern will provide reliable, value driven service to preferential customers.

To maintain compliance with NERC and Western standards.

Evaluate the load serving capability of the integrated system while preserving TOT path capacities.

Scope, schedule and prioritize Western transmission and substation system projects for inclusion in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).


Timeline


Loads

•Request and receive load data from network customers•Jan-March 2017

Power Flows

•Develop base cases•March-April 2017

Projects

•Analyze power flow results•Study solutions•Report•May-July 2017

Inclusion in Capital Improvement Plan

•Preliminary Scope and Estimates•Aug-November 2017

Stakeholders

•Present study results at Quarterly Stakeholders Meeting•December 2017

Study CriteriaCases selected to study a near term and far term heavy winter/summer.

WECC approved cases:2019 Light Summer2027 Heavy Summer


Study CriteriaCriteria

• System Intact• 0.95 p.u. – 1.05 p.u. Voltage• 100% Continuous Loading Rate

• Contingency• 0.95 p.u. – 1.05 p.u. Voltage• 100% Continuous Rating or Emergency Limit

5% was used to catch any issues that are just under the 10% threshold. We still use the 0.90 – 1.10 criteria for contingencies.

Contingency Analysis: P1-P7 + Extreme Event


Study Details

Stress Levels applied to cases:

• TOT1, WECC Path 30

o 529 MW East-West, 2019 LS

• YTS• 560 MW North-South , 2027 HS


Study Details

Voltage and thermal issues that appear for the first time will be monitored for recurrence.

Studies based on network customer projections 1-10 years in the future.

Voltage and thermal issues that repeatedly appear may be studied as a sensitivity study and result in a change of the corrective action plan and Capital Improvement Plan.


2017 Results

• The system was compliant with NERC and Western standards for all contingencies analyzed.
