5 115 kv Cluster System Impact Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The study objective was to determine the impact that the proposed 115 kv Cluster Study generation would have on the El Paso Electric Company (EPE) and Southern New Mexico transmission systems. The proposed 115 kv Cluster Study generation is comprised of a 90 MW PV solar powered project (DS90S) interconnected between EPE s Diablo and Santa Teresa Substations and another 70 MW PV solar powered project (C070S) interconnected between EPE s Chaparral and Oro Grande Substations. The proposed Commercial Operation dates for the two projects included in this System Impact Study (SIS) are identical, and as follows: 1. October 1, 2016 for First Unit Power Block a. Total of 5 MW for each project (DS90S & CO70S) 2. December 1, 2016 for Entire Facilities a. Total of 90 MW for DS90S b. Total of 70 MW for CO70S The only interconnection project in the EPE study queue that has an Interconnection Agreement (IA) with EPE is the Montana Power Station. This project is currently under construction and will consist of four (4) 105 MW gas powered units, located about 3 miles east of EPE s Caliente Substation The Montana Power Station has been included in the base cases for this SIS. The generation from this project will be delivered to serve EPE native load. The Study Areas for the analysis were limited to WECC Areas 11 - EPE and 10 - PNM. Steady State Results The power flow analysis was conducted for 2016 Light Winter and 2017 Heavy Summer load conditions. The Arroyo Phase Shifter was set to regulate N-S Flows in all cases (10-25 MW under Heavy loads and MW under Light loads). The analysis showed that with these Network Upgrades in place, the East Cluster generation does not have an adverse impact on the EPE and Southern New Mexico transmission systems. The power flow analysis results showed that the addition of 115 kv Cluster generation would not require any Network Upgrades other than the 115 kv switching stations to allow for the 2 interconnections. Short Circuit Results A short circuit analysis was performed to determine if the addition of the 115 kv Cluster Study generation would cause any of the EPE or Southern New Mexico transmission system s existing substation circuit breakers to exceed their interrupting capability ratings. The results of this short circuit study show that the maximum fault currents after the 115 kv Cluster generation is placed in service did not exceed the breaker interrupting capability at any substation on the EPE or Southern New Mexico transmission system. 1

6 Stability Results Transient System stability was analyzed for faults relevant to the DS90S & CO70S Study Areas under heavy and light load conditions. The stability results showed that the addition of the new generation projects does not cause any adverse impacts to the system stability performance in the Study Area. Cost Estimates and Schedule Good faith cost estimates are presented. The cost estimates are in 2014 dollars (no escalation applied) and are based upon typical construction costs for previously performed similar construction. These costs include all estimated applicable labor and overheads associated with the engineering, design, and construction of these new EPE facilities. These estimates did not include the Generator Interconnection Costs 1 for any other Interconnection Customer owned equipment or associated design and engineering except for the Point of Interconnection (POI) facilities. The estimated total cost for the required upgrades is $5.16 Million for each project (both CO70S and DS90S) in the 115 kv Cluster. This breaks down to $0.27 Million for the EPE Interconnection Costs 2 at the POI and $4.89 Million for Network Upgrade Costs 3 for both 115 kv Cluster projects. Generator Interconnection Costs have not been estimated as part of this study. Table 0-1 details the cost per year.

Not subject to transmission credits. 2 EPE Interconnection Costs: cost of facilities paid for by Interconnection Customer but owned and operated by EPE from the Change of Ownership Point to the Point of Interconnection. Not subject to transmission credits. 3 Network Upgrades Costs: cost of facilities from the Point of Interconnection outward, paid for by the interconnector but owned and operated by EPE. Subject to transmission credits 2

7 Conclusion This System Impact Study shows that the proposed 115 kv Cluster generation will NOT have an adverse impact on the EPE and Southern New Mexico transmission systems. 3

8 1.0 INTRODUCTION EPE requires that a SIS be performed for generation facilities desiring to connect to the El Paso Electric Transmission System. Since both Interconnection Requests for this 115 kv Cluster Study (2014) have proposed a 115 kv Point of Interconnect (POI),and thus, this SIS was completed to determine any possible impacts the combined 160 MW of proposed generation from the two projects would have on EPE s Transmission System. The proposed Commercial Operation dates for these two projects are identical, and as follows: 1. October 1, 2016 for First Unit Power Block a. Total of 5 MW for each project (DS90S & CO70S) 2. December 1, 2016 for Entire Facilities a. Total of 90 MW for DS90S b. Total of 70 MW for CO70S 1.1 Performance Criteria The Study was performed in accordance with Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC), North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), and EPE standards. The EPE local reliability standards can be found in Section 4 of EPE s FERC Form No The steady state and stability analysis was performed using GE s PSLF Version 18.1 power flow software program. Transformer tap and phase-shifting transformer angle movement, as well as static VAR device switching, were allowed for the steady state pre-contingency analysis. All regulating equipment such as transformer controls and switched shunts were fixed at pre-contingency positions when the contingency analysis was performed. All facility loadings, as well as voltages 69 kv and greater, were monitored within the El Paso and New Mexico control areas. Pre-contingency and Post-contingency flows on lines and transformers were required to remain at or below the normal rating, while post-contingency flows on lines and transformers were required to remain at or below the emergency rating. Flows above 100% of an element s pre- or post-contingency rating were considered violations. Post-project voltage criteria violations that either exacerbate or improve an existing pre-project violation were not considered an adverse impact to the system. The performance criteria utilized in qualifying violations in the study area are shown in Table

10 2.0 STUDY METHODOLOGY 2.1 Assumptions The following assumptions are consistent for all study scenarios unless otherwise noted. This study assumed that all system expansion projects as planned by area utilities by the year under analysis are completed, and that any system improvements required by the interconnections senior to the 115 kv Cluster Study generation are implemented. This study did not analyze any transmission service from the interconnection point to any specific point on the grid for the interconnections senior to the 115 kv Cluster Study generation. 2.2 Procedure The analyses in this study included Steady State, Transient Stability, and Short Circuit Breaker Analysis as stated in the 115 kv Cluster Study SIS Statement of Work in Appendix A. A description of the procedures used to complete the analyses is presented below Development and Description of Cases Two benchmark cases without the proposed 115 kv Cluster Study generation were created using 2017 Heavy Summer (Peak) and 2016 Light Winter (Off Peak) load scenarios. The combined 160 MWs of Solar Cluster generation was then modeled as being dispatched to serve EPE system native load in post project cases under the same two load scenarios. The Arroyo Phase Shifter was modeled to provide MW N-S flow under peak load conditions and MW N-S flow during the off peak load conditions. The Montana Power Station project was included in both benchmark cases. This project is currently under construction and will consist of four (4) 105 MW gas powered units located about 3 miles east of Caliente Substation. The generation from the Montana Power Station project will be delivered to serve native EPE load kv Cluster Study Generation Modeling The 115 kv Cluster generation consists of two (2) Photo Voltaic (PV) Solar installations located on separate sides of EPE s service territory. The first PV installation plans to interconnect at a new 115 kv tap between the Santa Teresa and Diablo Substations. It would be located about 2 miles southeast of the Santa Teresa Station. The requested maximum output of this project is 90 MW. This project would be comprised of 24 PV inverters each producing approximately 4 MW when at full output. Similarly, the second PV installation plans to interconnect at a new 115 kv tap between the Oro Grande and Chaparral Substations. It would be located about 10 miles northeast of the Chaparral Station. This project would use the same 4 MW inverters as the first PV installation, but this second installation would only consist of 18 inverters to produce a maximum requested output of 70 MW when at full output. 6

11 The PV inverters proposed for both projects are expected to produce MW at 0.55 kv. This initial voltage would be immediately stepped up to a 34.5 kv collector system voltage planned for both PV installations. A 115/34.5 kv transformer at each of the proposed projects new buses would then step up the collector system voltage to the 115 kv EPE Transmission System voltage Contingency List All outages (69 kv and above with EPE) were modeled in the subsystem files. The list of contingencies used in this study can be found in Appendix B. Based on engineering judgment, these contingencies were selected to represent a good cross section of potential contingencies that would stress the EPE and PNM southern New Mexico systems. This study was performed for N-0 and N-1 conditions. 7

12 3.0 STEADY STATE POWER FLOW ANALYSIS 3.1 Pre-Project Power Flow Evaluation Peak and off peak base cases were evaluated for thermally overloaded facilities under both normal and contingency conditions prior to the addition of the 115 kv Cluster generation Pre-Project N-0 Flow Violations Power flow study analysis results showed no overloaded transmission facilities were present in the El Paso Electric (EPE) and Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) areas under non-contingency system conditions prior to the addition of the East Cluster generation Pre-Project N-1 Flow Violations Power flow contingency analysis results show a few overloads existed in El Paso and New Mexico areas prior to the addition of the 115 kv Cluster generation. Table 3-1 shows the N-1 pre-project overloads in the final study cases.

The analysis was performed under both normal and contingency conditions Post-Project N-0 Power Flow Analysis Power flow study results for the EPE and PNM areas showed that the 115 kv Cluster projects did not cause any power flow violations under non-contingency system conditions Post-Project N-1 Power Flow Analysis The contingency list described in Section was used to test projects DS90S and CO70S under N-1 conditions. The power flow study results for the EPE and PNM areas showed that projects did not cause any power flow violations under contingency system conditions. 8

13 3.3 Power Flow Analysis Conclusion The analysis showed that the addition of the 115kV Cluster generation to the system would not cause any thermal overloads on the EPE or New Mexico transmission systems. 9

14 4.0 STEADY STATE VOLTAGE ANALYSIS Bus voltages within the Study Area were evaluated under both normal and contingency conditions, with and without the 115kV Cluster generation in service. The Performance Criteria shown in Error! Reference source not found. were considered when analyzing bus voltages for violations. The voltage analysis results showed that after the addition of the 115kV Cluster generation the Study area transmission network voltages stayed within criteria limits, and did not significantly change from the preproject voltage levels. 10

15 5.0 SHORT CIRCUIT ANALYSIS A short circuit analysis was performed to determine if the addition of the 115 kv Cluster generation to the EPE transmission system would cause any of EPE s transmission system s existing substation circuit breakers to exceed their interrupting capability ratings. 5.1 Short Circuit Analysis Modeling Pre-project and Post-project cases were developed to perform this analysis. As mentioned, any planned or proposed third party generation listed in EPE s study queue ahead of 115 kv Cluster generation was also modeled in the cases. The generator and collector system impedance data used in the study is shown in Table 5-1. This analysis evaluated the impact of the DS90S & CO70S generation by comparing the pre- and postproject fault current levels at selected buses. Table 5-1: Generator Short Circuit Modeling Data Project Total Output (MW) Unit ID Pmax (MW) Interconnection Customer Qmax (MVAR) Qmin (MVAR) DS90S CO70S Z subtransient j j0.9 Rating (MVA) GSU Voltage (kv) / /34.5 Z Subtransient j j Short Circuit Analysis Procedure The initial short circuit analysis was performed with all other third-party generation projects ahead of the 115 kv Cluster generation in the study queue in service and 115 kv Cluster generation out of service. This identified the base case fault duties of the circuit breakers. The short circuit analysis was performed again with 115 kv Cluster generation in service. Three phase, two phase, and single-phase line-to-ground faults were simulated at selected buses in the EPE system with terminal voltages at 69 kv and above. EPE also requested faults on all transformer tertiary buses. ASPEN One Liner and Batch Short Circuit Module were used to perform the short circuit analysis. The short circuit fault analyses were performed with the following settings: Transmission line G+jB ignored. Shunts with positive sequence impedance ignored. Transformer line shunts ignored The pre-fault voltage was calculated using a Flat bus voltage of 1.05 per unit. Fault currents within the EPE System where analyzed before and after the addition of the 115 kv Cluster projects. These scenarios were compared against the smallest breaker interruption ratings at each substation to determine whether any breaker was overdutied under pre-project or post-project conditions. 11

16 5.3 Short Circuit Analysis Results and Conclusion The results of this short circuit study showed that DS90S and CO70S would have only minor impacts to the fault currents on the EPE and Southern New Mexico system. The study also showed that the fault currents produced by the Cluster generation will not exceed the interrupting capability of any existing or proposed circuit breakers on the EPE or Southern New Mexico system. 12

17 6.0 STABILITY ANALYSIS A Transient Stability analysis was performed under peak and off-peak load conditions to determine the degree of impact the Projects may have on the EPE and Southern New Mexico transmission system performance. This analysis evaluated the performance of the system for selected faults. The purpose of this analysis is to ensure the system has adequate damping after a fault/trip event. The simulations were conducted using the PSLF power flow and dynamic simulation software, General Electric, Inc. PSLF load flow software package, Version 18.1 and the associated DYTools module. Dynamic stability simulations were conducted for peak and off-peak load conditions with the 115 kv Cluster generation units off, and on at full capacity. 6.1 Dynamic Modeling EPE provided the base cases and dynamic file data base for this part of the study. The Interconnection Customers provided the detailed model data sheets and/or parameter values. The DS90S generation was modelled as a single PV inverter unit with capacity of 92 MW. Similarly, the CO70S generation was modelled as a single PV inverter unit with capacity of 72 MW. The detailed PSLF model data for these projects (DS90S & CO70S) can be found in Appendix C. 6.2 Stability Study Case Development Two base cases were used to simulate Peak and Off-Peak conditions. These base cases were modified to include the DS90S & CO70S projects. The analysis compared the system response to the fault simulations before and after the 115kV Cluster generation was added. The two dynamic study cases are listed in Table 6-1. Table 6-1: Stability Post-Project Case Scenarios Descriptions 2017 Heavy Load Case 2016 Light Load Case DS90S (92 MW) in service DS90S (92 MW) in service CO70S (72 MW) in service CO70S (72 MW) in service Arroyo PST MW N-S Arroyo PST MW N-S Afton in service Afton out of service 6.3 Stability Analysis Results The stability analysis showed that the EPE and Southwestern New Mexico transmission system remained stable for all simulated faults before and after the addition of the Project. Simulated fault locations, time durations, and system response are shown in Table 6-2. The stability plots of these faults can be found in Appendix D. Worst Condition Analysis (WCA) did not reveal any frequency or voltage criteria violations as the result of the 115kV Cluster projects. The WCA results can be found in Appendix E. 13

18 6.4 Stability Analysis Conclusion The study area remains stable and well damped for all the faults analyzed. The addition of the 115 kv Cluster projects does not pose any concern to system stability performance. 14

20 7.0 COST ESTIMATES, ONE-LINES, & PROJECT SCHEDULE Good faith cost estimates are presented. The cost estimates are in 2014 dollars (no escalation applied) and are based upon typical construction costs for previously performed similar construction. These costs include all estimated applicable labor and overheads associated with the engineering, design, and construction of these new EPE facilities. These estimates did not include the Generator Interconnection Costs 4 for any other Interconnection Customer owned equipment or associated design and engineering except for the Point of Interconnection (POI) facilities. The estimated total cost for the required upgrades is $5.16 Million for each project (both CO70S and DS90S) in the 115 kv Cluster. This breaks down to $0.27 Million for the EPE Interconnection Costs 5 at the POI and $4.89 Million for Network Upgrade Costs 6 for both 115 kv Cluster projects. Generator Interconnection Costs have not been estimated as part of this study. Table 7-1 details the estimated costs.

23 The substations will be identical for each 115 kv Cluster project, so the installation costs for CO70S and DS90S are also same.

25 8.0 DISCLAIMER If any of the project data provided by Interconnection Customer and used in this study varies significantly from the actual data of the installed generation equipment for both DS90S & CO70S, the results from this study will need to be verified with the actual data at the Project Interconnection Customer's expense. Additionally, any change in the generation in EPE s Interconnection Queue that is senior to the 115 kv Cluster generation may require a re-evaluation of this Study. 21

26 9.0 CONCLUSIONS This 115 kv Cluster System Impact Study, consisting of a Steady State, Short Circuit and Stability Analysis, for a net 160 MW of generation interconnecting on the EPE transmission systems, has demonstrated that the 115 kv Cluster generation will NOT have an adverse impact on the EPE and Southern New Mexico transmission, and no Network Upgrades are required. The estimated cost for integrating both 115 kv Cluster generation projects onto the EPE and Southern New Mexico transmission systems is $10.32 Million. This breaks out to $5.16 Million for DS90S and $5.16 Million for CO70S. The good faith estimate of the time frame to Engineer, Procure, and Construct all facilities is 19 months for each POI switching station. 22
