Feasibility Study Customer Kingman Area Photovoltaic Generation Project Interconnection October, 2009 October 2009 i

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CONCLUSION Customer has requested network resource interconnection service from UNS Electric (UNSE) to integrate its proposed Kingman area photovoltaic generation project (KAPVGP or Project) to the UNSE 69 kv transmission system located in the vicinity of Kingman and Golden Valley in Mohave County, Arizona. The project would provide up to 150 MW of photovoltaic resource generation with in-service date of May 2011. The project would consist of one to three units of 50 MW each. The Customer and the UNSE have discussed three options of interconnecting the project. These interconnecting options are via: A 69 kv radial line to the UNSE s Industrial 69 kv Substation, $885k. A 69 kv radial line to the UNSE s Boriana Junction 69 kv Substation, $8,755k. A 69 kv radial line to the UNSE s West Golden Valley 69 kv Substation, $9,055k. All three of the above, $10,405k Estimates provided by UNSE/TEP Substation Engineering include all representative direct costs and overheads, but do not include any income tax gross-up that may be required to be collected. Any tax gross-ups will be calculated, collected and refunded in accordance with UNS Electric s Rules & Regulations.. The cost estimates are nonbinding and do not include mitigation of issues on other affected systems. The study evaluated a single 50 MW plant operating alone and all three plants operating concurrently at each of the three locations. Based on the feasibility analysis which evaluated the steady-state response of the UNSE transmission system to the proposed project subject to normal (N-0), single (N-1) as well as multiple (N-2) contingencies, each of the three interconnection options were found to be technically capable of interconnecting the proposed generation additions to the UNSE 69 kv system with appropriate interconnection and mitigation facilities in-place. From the short circuit analysis, performed by UNSE/TEP Protection group, there appear to be no post-project conditions that appreciably increase fault duty beyond the interrupting capability of existing fault interrupting devices on the 69 kv systems out of Griffith or Hilltop substations. The Industrial 69 kv interconnection option was found to be the lowest cost among the alternatives studied. No transmission facility overload was identified under normal as well as contingency conditions following the interconnection of the proposed 50 MW generating plant at Industrial 69 kv substation. The other alternatives however would require an additional 230/69 kv transformer at Griffith station and addition of approximately six miles of new 69 kv circuit between Griffith and the vicinity of Boriana Junction. In the case of plants at Boriana Junction, West Golden Valley or both, a 69 kv switching station near Boriana Junction would also be required to provide adequate protection coordination with the Black Mountain Generating Station. October 2009 ii

BACKGROUND UNSE elected a third party contractor, PDS Consulting, PLC (PDS) to perform the interconnection feasibility study for the KAPVGP project. The analysis was performed using WECC approved 2012 heavy summer and 2013 light winter base cases provided by the UNSE. The scope of the analysis was to: Identify the feasibility of interconnecting the KAPVGP project as individual points of interconnection for 50 MW generating plants in the Kingman and Golden Valley area at each of the three locations and as a three 50 MW plants operating concurrently at the three locations. Identify the transmission system impacts caused solely by the addition of the KAPVGP project for normal operating conditions (N-0) as well as single (N-1) and multiple (N-2) contingencies. Studies performed included power flow and short circuit analysis. Transient stability analysis will be conducted in the System Impact Study phase if the Customer elects to continue the interconnection process. The studies described in this report demonstrated the feasibility of interconnecting each of the three 50 MW plants in the KAPVGP to the UNSE transmission system via: A 69 kv radial line to the UNSE s Industrial 69 kv Substation. A 69 kv radial line to the UNSE s Boriana Junction 69 kv Substation. A 69 kv radial line to the UNSE s West Golden Valley 69 kv Substation. The study indicates that the addition of the KAPVGP and the subsequent schedule of its output to the Palo Verde generation hub will not cause any new transmission facility overloads under normal or contingency operating conditions if the project is connected to the UNSE s Industrial 69 kv substation. However, if the project is connected to the UNSE Boriana Junction 69 kv substation, a second 80 MVA 230/69 kv transformer would be required at Griffith. Additionally, a new 69 kv circuit would have to be built to reduce the complexity of relay coordination involving other generation on the existing 69 kv system out of Griffith substation. Interconnection to the UNSE s West Golden Valley or Boriana Junction 69 kv substations would also trigger the need for an additional 80 MVA 230/69 kv transformer at Griffith. Interconnection of the proposed project at Boriana Junction, West Golden Valley or both, would also require the installation of a 69 kv switching station in the vicinity of Boriana Junction to further improve reliability and relay coordination out of Griffith substation to accommodate the Black Mountain Generating Station. The study also indicated that the addition of the KAPVGP caused up to three 230 kv transmission line to overload following multiple outages. There were also several existing transmission facility overloads exacerbated by the addition of the project. To mitigate the identified overloads under multiple outages the project may be required to participate in existing operational procedures or may be included in a new operational procedure. Detailed analysis of impacts to the overlying HV and EHV October 2009 iii

transmission system will involve Western Area Power Administration and will be dealt with in the System Impact Study phase. The power flow analysis prior to the interconnection of the KAPVGP did not indicate any transmission facility overloads under normal operating conditions. The study however found six transmission facility overloads under single element outages and two 230 kv transmission line overloads following multiple outages. October 2009 iv

INTRODUCTION Customer has requested network resource interconnection service from UNS Electric (UNSE) to integrate its proposed Kingman area photovoltaic generation project (KAPVGP or Project) to the UNSE 69 kv transmission system located in the vicinity of Kingman and Golden Valley in Mohave County, Arizona. The project would provide up to 150 MW of photovoltaic resource generation with in-service date of May 2011. The project would consist of up to three units of 50 MW each. The Customer and the UNSE have discussed three options of interconnecting the project. These interconnecting options are via: A 69 kv radial line to the UNSE s Industrial 69 kv Substation. A 69 kv radial line to the UNSE s Boriana Junction 69 kv Substation. A 69 kv radial line to the UNSE s West Golden Valley 69 kv Substation. This study evaluated a single 50 MW plant operating alone and all three plants operating concurrently at each of the three locations. UNSE elected a third party contractor, PDS Consulting, PLC (PDS) to perform the interconnection feasibility study for the KAPVGP project. Only power flow analysis was performed. The analysis was performed using WECC approved 2012 heavy summer and 2013 light winter base cases provided by the UNSE. The scope of the analysis was to: Identify the feasibility of interconnecting the KAPVGP project as a single 50 MW plant in the Kingman area at each of the three locations and as three 50 MW plants operating concurrently at the three locations. Identify the transmission system impacts caused solely by the addition of the KAPVGP project for normal operating conditions (N-0) as well as single (N-1) and multiple (N-2) contingencies.

STUDY BASE CASE DESCRIPTION AND ASSUMPTIONS This analysis was conducted using two power flow base cases: Western Electricity Coordination Council (WECC) approved 2012 heavy summer (12hs2a.sav) and 2013 light winter (13lw1s.sav) base cases. The 2012 heavy summer base case was adjusted to reflect 2011 heavy summer forecasted operating conditions in the study area. The 2013 light winter case was modified to reflect forecasted UNSE s lowest daytime peak conditions in winter of 2012. Generation dispatch modeled in the WECC base cases was not modified. The benchmark (pre-project) base cases were tested to ensure that all transmission facilities in the study area are within their normal operating limits. While it is impossible to study all combinations of system load and generation levels during all seasons, these two pre-project base cases represent extreme loading and generation conditions for the study area. However, UNSE cannot guarantee that the KAPVGP can operate at maximum rated output year round without impacting the transmission system during times and seasons not studied. Four post-project base cases were developed from each of the pre-project cases. The post-project base cases modeled the proposed KAPVGP for the interconnections depicted in Figure 1. The output of KAPVGP project was dispatched to replace merchant generators at Palo Verde/Hassayampa generation hub for this study. Table 2 provides descriptions of all the pre- and post-project base cases developed for the feasibility study.

STUDY METHODOLOGY AND EVALUATION CRITERIA Power flow analysis was performed on both the pre-project and post-project cases to determine the impact of the KAPVGP Project on the UNSE sub-transmission system and the interconnected facilities within the study area. Specific studies conducted and their evaluation criteria are outlined below: Power Flow Analysis Power flow analysis was performed on both the pre-project and post-project base cases detailed in Table 2. The base cases were used to simulate the impact of the Project during normal operating conditions (N-0) as well as single (N-1) and multiple contingency conditions. The contingencies simulated included: All single sub-transmission and transmission circuit outages within the study area (N-1). All single transformer outages within the study, excluding transformers serving only distribution load (N-1). All Tie Lines to adjacent connecting immediately outside the study area (N-1). All pairs of the above single outages (N-2) The WECC/NERC and UNSE planning standards will be used to assess the adequacy of the study results. The power flow analysis related evaluation criteria that will be used are summarized below: Pre-contingency bus voltage outside the study area must be between 0.95 per unit and 1.05 per unit. Post-contingency 69 kv voltages must be between 0.95 and 1.05 per unit. Study area transmission voltages >1.00 pu. Fictitious buses to model transformer terminated lines are not subject to this criterion. Pre-contingency UNSE 69 kv bus voltages between 0.95 and 1.025 pu Maximum voltage deviation allowed at all buses under contingency conditions will be 5% for all contingencies. Pre-disturbance loading to remain within continuous ratings of all equipment and line conductors Post-disturbance loading to remain within emergency ratings of all equipment and line conductors. Post-project representation of the KAPVGP maintained unity power factor at the plant's point of interconnection to the UNSE system October 2009 4

Short Circuit Analysis To perform the short circuit study, the 50 MW photovoltaic generation additions were modeled in the TEP short circuit base case using the ASPEN One-Liner software. This case originated from the post-project for the proposed Bowie Power Station project. The following data was used to prepare the short circuit case: 1.

Fault duty data in Table 3 is sorted from the highest incremental three-phase current at the Point of Interconnection (POI) to the lowest in order of magnitude for the regional buses. There appear to be no post-project conditions that appreciably increase fault duty beyond the pre-project values. Mitigation of any fault duty in excess of circuit breaker interrupting capability pre-project may cover mitigation of these issues post-project. The available margin at the regional buses was not available at the time of this report; however, it is expected that due to the magnitude of the incremental fault duty and the relatively new age of the breakers with higher interrupting capability in this region that the interconnection of the BPGS CSP may not require mitigation of any breakers.

COST ESTIMATES (see Appendices D & E for details) The following cost estimates are non-binding and do not include mitigation of issues on other affected systems. These costs include direct costs and UNSE overheads, but do not include any income tax gross-up required to be collected by UNSE to the receipt of a taxable contribution in aid of construction. Pursuant to its Rules & Regulations, UNSE is required to collect an income tax gross-up on any taxable contribution in aid of construction in excess of $500,000. UNS Electric s current gross-up factor is 65.37%. A portion of the income tax gross-up is refunded annually based on the federal income tax depreciation tables applicable to the plant assets received by UNSE. At the end of the fifth year in service, the remaining gross-up will be refunded at a discounted amount using UNS Electric s authorized rate of return over the remaining tax life. The estimating is broken into the connection cost and the mitigation cost for each option. For the Feasibility Study it includes only construction costs associated with the 69 kv system and does not include 69 kv right-of-way costs. This estimating does not include any of the costs to mitigate impacts to the overlying Western Area Power Administration HV and EHV transmission system, as Western has said that they will provide these costs once the study moves to the System Impact Study phase. As such, the costs for each interconnection option are as follows: Industrial: $885k Connection Cost: $825k Includes a 69 kv circuit breaker, switches and protection and an estimated 1 mile of line extension with fiber optic ground wire (OPGW) from the 69 kv point of interconnection on the Transmission Provider s 69 kv system to a high-side disconnect switch at the Interconnection Customers Interconnection Facilities. Protection and communications over new OPGW from Hilltop to Industrial for direct transfer trip to isolate the PV generating plant for faults external to the lateral line extension. A conceptual single-line diagram for the interconnection to Industrial substation is included in Appendix D1 and D2. Mitigation Cost: $60k Includes upgrades to the Hilltop 652 breaker bay to accommodate updating to SEL relaying, addition of direct transfer trip to Industrial and addition of power quality metering. Boriana Junction: $8,755k Connection Cost: $825k Includes a 69 kv circuit breaker, switches and protection at a new five position 69 kv ring bus at Boriana Junction and an estimated 1 mile of line extension with fiber optic October 2009 16

ground wire (OPGW) from the 69 kv point of interconnection on the Transmission Provider s 69 kv system to a high-side disconnect switch at the Interconnection Customers Interconnection Facilities, and protection at Boriana Junction to isolate the PV generating plant for faults external to the lateral line extension. A conceptual singleline diagram for the interconnection to Boriana Junction substation is included in Appendix D1. Mitigation Cost: $7,930k Mitigation includes a new 69 kv breaker bay breaker at Griffith, a 6 mile long 69 kv circuit out of Griffith substation to the vicinity of Boriana Junction, a new five position 69 kv ring bus at Boriana Junction and addition of an 80 MVA, 230/69 kv transformer at Griffith. West Golden Valley: $9055k Connection Cost: $825k Includes a 69 kv circuit breaker, switches and protection and an estimated 1 mile of line extension with fiber optic ground wire (OPGW) from the 69 kv point of interconnection on the Transmission Provider s 69 kv system to a high-side disconnect switch at the Interconnection Customers Interconnection Facilities.. Protection and communications over new OPGW from a ring bus at Boriana Junction to West Golden Valley for direct transfer trip to isolate the PV generating plant for faults external to the lateral line extension. A conceptual single-line diagram for the interconnection to West Golden Valley substation is included in Appendix D1. Mitigation Cost: $8230k Mitigation includes a new 69 kv breaker bay breaker at Griffith, a 6 mile long 69 kv circuit out of Griffith substation to the vicinity of Boriana Junction, a new five position 69 kv ring bus at Boriana Junction and addition of an 80 MVA, 230/69 kv transformer at Griffith. All Projects: $10,405k Connection Cost: $2,475k Includes 1 mile of line extension with fiber optic ground wire (OPGW) to each of the three projects, a 69 kv circuit breaker, switches and protection from the existing 69 kv point of interconnection to a high-side disconnect switch at the point-of-interconnection for the W. Golden Valley and Industrial projects. Interconnection cost for the Boriana Junction project is imbedded in the cost for a five position 69 kv ring bus required as part of mitigation if all three projects are constructed.
