2 SUMMARY This report presents the capital budget proposal for diesel engine overhauls performed on a usage-based schedule at an interval of 20,000 operating hours. Overhauls or long block replacements are required to ensure the generator set is able to meet its Hydro expected life of 100,000 hours. The projection of future overhauls forecasts 48 overhauls over the 2013 to 2017 period at a total estimated cost of $5.12 million. Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro i

4 1 INTRODUCTION Hydro s Diesel Engine Overhaul Project has been developed to ensure the reliability of diesel engines at prime power diesel generating stations. Hydro has 21 prime power diesel generating stations serving approximately 4,400 customers. With the exception of two systems (Ramea and L Anse-au-Loup), these generating stations are the sole source of electricity for their community which means that if the station cannot meet the load then customer outages will occur. The reliability of the prime power diesel generating stations is single contingency, meaning that the plant is designed to be able to provide maximum load in the event of the unavailability of up to one diesel unit (due to failure). This means that while the failure of a single unit will not result in customer outages the failure of any additional units before the initially failed unit is returned to service may result in customer outages. This highlights the importance of the reliability of these diesel engines. In short, the prime power diesel generating stations are the only power source for their community and require major overhauls to achieve their expected service lives while providing reliable power.

5 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project is required to overhaul the diesel engines at diesel generating stations. The project consists of overhauling 48 engines over the next five years (2013 to 2017). The overhaul schedule, which can be found in Appendix A, is based on the engines being overhauled every 20,000 hours of operation. This is the criteria being used for diesel engine overhauls. The overhaul schedule is a projection based on the estimate of when each engine will reach 20,000 operating hours since its last overhaul. For a typical unit, 20,000 operating hours accumulates on average in 8.7 years but it depends on the usage of the engine. As such, this schedule is subject to change and the year for which an engine is projected to become due for an overhaul can vary depending on plant conditions and the actual hours accumulated. While the specific engines projected to be due for overhaul in a given year can vary from year to year, the number of engines projected to be due for overhaul in a given year tends to be relatively consistent. An overhaul consists of either a rebuild or a long block replacement. A rebuild consists of the replacement of pistons, liners, main bearings, connecting rod bearings, fuel injectors, oil cooler, turbo charger, water pump, oil pump, cylinder heads and all necessary gaskets. Also included in a rebuild is a bench overhaul of the fuel pump and an overhaul of the alternator, typically at 40,000 hours or when identified through maintenance checks. A long block replacement consists of replacement of the block of the engine minus the auxiliary parts such as cooler, actuator, turbo chargers, manifolds, and fuel lines. Both rebuilds and long block replacements use remanufactured parts and include the replacement of the fuel lines. The long block replacement program also comes with the advantage of warranty and a manufacturer overhauled engine that can be delivered to site. Hydro is utilizing the long block replacement approach where possible in the northern Labrador region to minimize travel costs and engine downtime. Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro 2
6 3 JUSTIFICATION 3.1 Existing System The existing system of isolated diesel generating stations consists of prime power diesel engines at 21 isolated diesel generating stations. The number of units at a generating station ranges from three to five and the rated output of the units range from 30 kw to 1,825 kw. The diesel engines range in age from one year to 41 years and currently range in operating hours from less than 500 hours to over 122,000 hours (as of the end of 2011). Please refer to Table 1 below for details concerning the major work and upgrades to each diesel engine during the previous five years.

A given unit is not in service continually since the number of units in service varies based on the demand. In Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro 4
8 automated plants the engine mix is automatically controlled by a control system to maximize fuel efficiency, while in a manual plant this is controlled by the operator. In any of the plants the operator has the flexibility to shut down engines for maintenance provided there is another engine available to take the load for that time. As a result outages to engines can occur without outages to customers Reliability Performance A consequence of not completing this project is an increase in the frequency and duration of customer outages (i.e. higher SAIDI and SAIFI values) as a result of an increase in diesel unit failures Outage Statistics Hydro tracks all distribution system outages using industry standard indexes, SAIDI and SAIFI which are explained as follows: SAIDI- indicates the System Average Interruption Duration Index for customers served per year, or the average length of time a customer is without power in the respective distribution system per year. SAIFI - is the System Average Interruption Frequency Index per year which indicates the average of sustained interruptions per customer served per year or the average number of power outages a customer has experienced in the respective distribution system per year. Loss of Supply is defined by the CEA as: Customer interruptions due to problems in the bulk electricity supply system such as underfrequency load shedding, transmission system transients, or system frequency excursions. During a rotating load shedding cycle, the duration is the total outage time until normal operating conditions resume, while the number of customers affected is the Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro 5
9 average number of customers interrupted per rotating cycle. In this case it applies to the loss of the diesel plant. Table 2 below lists the SAIDI Loss of Supply outage statistics for the prime power diesel generating stations for the previous five years. Table 3 below lists the SAIFI Loss of Supply outage statistics for the same diesel generating stations for the previous five years.

However, if this project is not executed, there is a higher risk of diesel engine failure and diesel engine failure can result in extended customer outages which can negatively impact public safety. As well diesel engines can fail catastrophically with possible flying hazards for the employees in the vicinity. The risk of this occurring increases if overhauls are not completed Environmental Performance This project is being justified from a reliability perspective but if overhauls are not Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro 7
11 completed, failures could result in oil and glycol being released into the environment Industry Experience Manufacturers of diesel engines will provide recommended overhaul frequencies which typically are in the 15,000 hour range. Hydro adopted this philosophy for many years but completed a review of its maintenance tactics in 2003 and extended the overhaul period to 20,000 hours Vendor Recommendations The diesel engine manufacturers generally recommend an overhaul interval of 15,000 hours but as a result of a review of maintenance tactics and failure history it was decided to extend Hydro s overhauls to 20,000 hours Maintenance or Support Arrangements Generally, a routine annual inspection is performed by internal resources. The annual inspection checks the fuel, coolant, and exhaust systems as well as the engine structure. Problems identified during the inspection are typically corrected during the inspection. If an engine fails prematurely, the manufacturer is typically consulted to help with a failure analysis. Also, to help manage the service of the parts for diesel engine, blanket orders have been set up for Caterpillar and Detroit Diesel engines. Such arrangements are necessary to ensure lead times on parts are acceptable and Hydro does not have to incur the cost of stocking diesel parts in inventory Maintenance History The five-year maintenance history for the prime power diesel engines is shown in the following table: Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro 8
12 Table 4: Five-Year Maintenance History Preventive Corrective Maintenance Maintenance ($000) ($000) Total Maintenance ($000) Year , , , , Historical Information Prior to 2012, diesel engine overhauls were being performed as operating projects. Between 2007 and 2011, an average of 9.8 engines (49 over five years) were overhauled annually. In 2012, Hydro adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Under the IFRS, major overhauls are capitalized. As a result, since 2012, diesel engine overhauls have been performed under capital projects Anticipated Useful Life The diesel engines have an estimated service life of 25 years. Actual life depends primarily on the operating hours of the unit. 3.3 Development of Alternatives The alternatives considered for this overhaul project were to either rebuild the engine with internal resources or purchase a rebuilt long block from the manufacturer. Overhauls in areas in Central and Northern are planned to be rebuilt by internal forces, while selected overhauls for Labrador are planned to use rebuilt long blocks from the manufacturer due to minimizing downtime, travel, and internal resource requirements. 3.4 Evaluation of Alternatives In evaluating the two alternatives, it was decided for the island and on the south coast of Labrador that overhauls should typically consist of rebuilding the engines with internal resources. In Labrador, selected engines will use long block replacements which are essentially engines that have been rebuilt by the manufacturer. Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro 9
13 From Hydro s experience in using long block replacements the following has been noted: a. A reduction in downtime of the unit. The long block replacement time is shorter than having to complete an overhaul; b. The travel time and travel cost is less for long block replacements. This can be amplified when weather delays occur, which are common in northern Labrador; and c. On the north cost of Labrador, in particular, long blocks have helped improved resource management, to free up resources to deal with other priority maintenance issues. Based upon the above, the benefits are mainly in northern areas in which you have to fly in and out, such as on the north coast of Labrador. As a result Hydro s budget proposal for 2013 is only considering long block replacements in the Labrador region and engine rebuilds by internal resources in the Central and Northern regions Economic Analysis There was no economic analysis completed for the two alternatives, as the main options for the majority of overhauls will be rebuilds of engines with internal resources. The option to use long block replacement will be used in locations of Labrador only to reduce downtime on a unit and help minimize internal resource requirements for overhauls due to travel time to areas on the coast of Labrador. While long block replacements are typically marginally more expensive than a rebuild, travel in remote areas can be a significant factor in the overall cost. We will evaluate whether the use of rebuilds or long block replacements of engines in Labrador is the least cost option consistent with reliability in each community. Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro 10
14 4 CONCLUSION This project is necessary in order to provide least-cost, reliable electrical service to the customers served by isolated diesel generation. Overhauling diesel engines is a necessity in operating this type of equipment. 4.1 Budget Estimate Table 5: Project Budget Estimate Project Cost:($ x1,000) Beyond Total Material Supply Labour Consultant Contract Work Other Direct Costs Interest and Escalation Contingency TOTAL Project Schedule Table 6: Project Schedule Activity Start Date End Date Planning Schedule annual overhauls January 2013 February 2013 Procurement Purchase overhaul components February 2013 March 2013 Installation Complete overhaul March 2013 December 2013 Commissioning Testing after overhaul March 2013 December 2013 Closeout Release For service and Asset Assignment September 2013 December 2013 Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro 11
