SWAT Short Circuit Study Group Update May 10, 2006 Albuquerque, New Mexico
Short Circuit – System Reliability • Relay Misoperations – Fail to Operate or Operate When They Shouldn’t • Equipment Damage due to Failure to Operate Relays • Circuit Breakers and Other Equipment Failure because not Properly Rated
SWAT Short Circuit Working Group (SCWG) Accomplishments • Webpage setup and linked to SWAT Website • Charter (Scope) Finalized • All SWAT Transmission Owners joined • 4 meetings held since starting in January • Monthly meeting schedule • Impedance Map Plan Developed • Working on Combining First Case
4 Main Areas of Work • Impedance Maps • Annual Operating Case • Common Study Methodologies • Annual Standards Review
Meeting Locations • January 26, 2006 – WAPA - Phoenix • February 16, 2006 – TEP/UES – Tucson • March 16, 2006 – NPC/SPPC – Las Vegas • April 20, 2006 – SRP – Phoenix • May 18, 2006 – SWRTA – Casa Grande
Impedance Maps Work • Most Impedance Maps Are Out of Date • List of Items to be Placed On Maps Developed • A Single Set of Impedance Maps to be Generated • Requested SWAT to Develop WestConnect Funding of Impedance Map Generation • Only 2 WestConnect Members not Members of SWAT SCWG
Member Programs • APS - Cape • SRP – Aspen • WAPA – PTI and Aspen • TEP/Unisource – Aspen • SWTC – Aspen • IID – Aspen • EPE – Aspen • PNM – Aspen • NPC/SPPC – Aspen
DPV2 SCWG Findings • 442 of 1481 buses with 10 A or higher difference • Some Transformers not Modeled as Transformers in the DPV2 SCWG PSS/E case • Type 2 Buses in PSS/E Do Not Stay Constant
Combined Case • Plan Developed • Conversions Currently being Checked • Zones for Members being Developed • Equivalents to be Checked • Cases to be Combined
Future Work • Combine CCPG SCWG Case • Combine STEP SCWG Case (if developed) • Develop Common Methodologies • Review of Standards • Start on next Annual Case and Impedance Maps Update (refinements)
Future Refinements • Add Mutual Coupling • Add Line Charging Capacitance • Add Motors • Check Transformer, Line, Shunt, Generator, and Load Data
Potential Load Flow Help • Impedance Maps for Load Flow Operating Case • Possible WECC Evolution of Regional SCWGs • If WECC Bus Numbers Used Later, Import of More Accurate SC Case Data into Load Flow Cases
