  2. “The objective of distribution planning is to provide an orderly and economic expansion of equipment and facilities to meet the utility’s future electricity demand with an acceptable level of reliability.” - H. Lee Willis

Presentation Overview • Introduction • Power System Planning Horizons / Lead Times • Network Master Plan vs. Network Development Plan • Global Planning Methodologies • Generic steps to all Planning Methodologies • Planning Process Overview • Planning Study Objective and Review of Study Area • Gather Data / Information • Strategic Study • Electrification Planning • Load Forecast • Power Plant Refurbishment • Network Capability and Problem Statement • Identify and Evaluate Alternatives • Capital Plan • Economic / Financial Evaluation • Environmental Assessments • Eskom Guide

  4. Introduction Universal Access Plan (UAP) • 100% access to electricity by 2012 • need to accelerate pace of electrification to achieve target Other Drivers: • Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative for SA (ASGISA) • additional capacity requirement • extensive refurbishment • increasing lead times • environmental assessments • servitude acquisition • procurement of equipment • CTAD audit findings Planning Methodology Document • a guideline for the compilation of NMP’s and NDP’s

  7. Global Planning Methodologies Traditional Planning Methodology • Regulated Stable environment • Responsibilities and Mandate of Utility clear and controlled by government. • Demand predictable. • Assumptions easier and accurate. • More certainty Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) • Regulated Unstable environment • Cost to the customer never really featured in the final decision process Least Cost Planning (LCP) • Latter stages of Regulated Unstable environment • Includes value base techniques (cost to the customer) Value Based Planning • Liberalised wholesale markets • Minimises total cost – (utility & customer) • Indices: Unserved Energy (EUE) & Loss of Load Probability (LOLP)

  8. Generic steps to all Planning Methodologies Step Activity Description 1 Identify the problem (includes gathering & analysing data) Explicitly identify the range of application and its limits. Try to see the problem in terms of the goals and write it down. 2 Determine the goals This tells you where you are aiming to go. What goals are to be achieved? What is to be minimised? 3 Identify the alternatives What alternative solutions are available? This is a critical step & should be a group session. 4 Evaluate the alternatives Evaluate all the alternatives on a sound basis. 5 Select the best alternatives Select the alternative that best satisfies the goals with respect to the problem

  9. Planning Process Overview

  10. Planning Study Objective and Review of Study Area • Clear definition of study objectives • Trigger for planning review will determine the appropriate approach required • Requirements of study will dictate data needed • A NMP may span an entire FSA/CSA, • typically, a no. of interconnected Tx S/S supply areas

  11. Gather Data / Information • Obtainas much existing data and information as possible to support the study • Field visits may be required to verify network layout & equipment data • Typical data requirements include: • geographical background mapping data • network configuration, equipment & loading data • Metro / municipality / large customer data • other plans (electrification, refurbishment, environmental, etc) • operational / performance reports • existing standards and reports

  12. Strategic Study • Sub-component of GLF • Purpose - model population and economic growth geographical for 20yrs • Development & growth projections based on: • historic trends / local knowledge • potential/planned developments • existing planning documents (IDP’s, SDF’s) • Development Economists • develop economic model • sensitivity analysis

  13. Electrification Planning • National Government (DME) – targets and funding • Eskom - implementing agent • Electrification planning process: • Review electrification status quo • Determine of grid / off-grid supply areas • Prioritisation and phasing of electrification projects • Budgeting and allocation of funds • Stakeholders liaison • Rolling Electrification Plan

  14. Load Forecast • Determine electricity requirements of end-users • Crucial input to NMP & NDP studies • Input to Transmission Planning • For NMP • long-term strategic view on development • preferably use geo-spatial techniques • link to physical network load points

  15. Power Plant Refurbishment • Plant Section - Refurbishment Plan containing: • status of primary equipment • project recommendations • budget cost estimates • For NMP: • plant age, high-level condition assessment • estimate of remaining life • Estimate capital requirements

  16. Network Capability and Problem Statement • Assess quality of available data • highlight deficiencies for future correction • Develop adequate network models • Detailed networkanalysis • identify existing shortcomings • Clearly define nature of problems • coordinated, holistic approach

  17. Identify and Evaluate Alternatives • Identify all possible network solutions • Conduct technical & economic evaluations • Steady-State System Analysis • Contingency & Reliability Analysis • Network Alternatives and Scenarios • Technical Analysis & Technology Selection • Cost Alternatives • Economic Evaluation • Output - annually phased strengthening & network improvement proposals

  18. Capital Plan • Compile Capital Requirements Plan • NMP - 20 years • Refine cost estimates in more detail • preferred alternatives • phase over planning period • Eskom business categories: • Direct Customers • Strengthening • Reliability • Electrification • Refurbishment

  19. Economic / Financial Evaluation • Perform economic / financial analysis on recommended NMP or NDP • Assess economic / financial viability of overall plan • Outputs • 5yr / 20yr cash flow • Economic life cycle costs • Reliability / Customer Interuption Costs • financial indicators (MIRR & NPV) • financial impact on Eskom • tariff requirements • possible penalties

  20. Environmental Assessments • Promote sustainable development & protect environment • National Environmental Management Act (1998) • Environment Conservation Act (1989) • Objective = integrate environmental requirements into plans • SEA - environmental framework for strategic development • Assessments - conducted timeously • SEA’s • triggered by NMP • EIA’s • triggered by NDP
