Subject: Ye s t e r d a y ' s events
Guys as you are probably aware there were some significant events which occurred in our area yesterday. Firstly the
generator at JOR failed on high bearing temperature which locked the generator out. Dwayne was attending the EL
training in Surrey and had to be recalled to carry isolation on the generator. Secondly we had a major outage at HSY
when we lost T12 on overload in the early evening. The crews responded very professional manner as we have come to
expect and got the job done. The city was restored in a short period of time thanks to a fantastic effort by both the
station EL's and CPC Techs on site. It is great to see such fine team work in action. In addition the JOR fault investigation
is ongoing and the same comments can be said of our crew who worked throughout yesterday evening to get the
generator isolated. A massive thanks from Dave Clarke and I am sure Neil and Glen will have something further to say in
recognition of the fantastic job you guys did yesterday. I will be heading out to JOR this morning and then on to Nanaimo
this afternoon for a training session.

We don't often lose Horsey. So losing it at rush hour during Christmas shopping season on a cold, cold day just adds to
the pressure and profile. I was impressed with how quickly everyone were able to return the system under what I know
were hectic and intense pressures.

They always do.. it was overload. All P&C worked fine, even the stuff worked on recently by Nextgen
Half the station capacity has been OOS for a week, and we were probably an hour away from having everything back.
Bad timing.
Transformers don't usually have OL pn, but there is BU PN on the low side tfmr bus that has overcurrent (without torque

Kelly
Even with this faulty conclusion, we knew to restore T12 and to bring Tl and T2 back i/s together to prevent/L on T2. Of
course this worked fine. Only remaining difficulty was that We couldn't get 12CB38 closed without opening the feeder
a r i a ' p Tc k i h g ^ .......... ,,
We got to the right place but incorrect conclusion about the B/F on 12CB38 and some delay out of concern for field
personnel safety delayed restoration. Total transformer outage time was about 43 minutes, best case with no mistakes
and delay would have been about 20 minutes.
There were a lot of people working in the station .at the time and we were very accommodating to not energize
equipment without knowing at all times that crew were in safe location but there were some small delays. I do not want
any negative criticism relayed to the crews as for the most part their cooperation and response was excellent. I will send
a note of thanks to their managers this morning.

Subject: Re: System Event Report Horsey Substation Metro Victoria All Out
Doug, I think it is very beneficial to review and analyze the performance of the control room response in order to learn
and improve, Good for you for having a critical eye and. putting this together. I recommend a review with operators at
seminars.
However, if we really want to make a reliability improvement, we should look at how the outage could have been
prevented. What Is the process that has one of two transformers out of service during peak winter load? I know the
relay setting is subtle and the increased load may be unexpected but if we don't.focus on that, then we welcome similar
events in the future. This is especially true within increased pressure to take equipment out of service in winter due to
construction activity. Our past approval process is obviously not adequate to meet the new challenges.
The reliability improvement starts with looking at the current process to identify the gaps. Looking at protection settings
is most likely not on the schedulers checklist nor may they be competent to do so. Similarly, how are we predicting load
and what is our allowable error margin and risk tolerance? How can this be checked in real time to ensure we are not
creeping to the edge of the cliff?
This work can be done similar to how we are making safety system improvements. I recommend our primary focus here.
Thanks < .

Subject: RE: System Event Report Horsey Substation Metro Victoria All Out
In retrospect I drew, one bad conclusion during the restoration that cost us a little bit of time.
At the time of the initial event, crews were attempting to close 12D34 to energize up to the open 12CB31 breaker
through a new but previously tested cable. They reported that the switch stuck half way closed and that they were
fiddling with it when the trip occurred. AH focus was around how the disconnect switch could have caused the trip.
Flags were collected and they reported only overload on T2. We couldn't make sense of how a failed switch on 12 kV
could result in this trip.
We very quickly isolated the suspected switch and with no flags on T12 we put It back in service. We then reset l/o on
T2 and put it back in service. Everything held for a few minutes then we tost it all again.
Field checks flags and reports same T2 flags except they notice B/F on 12CB38. (BF indication was a red herring, CPC told
me a story about how SEL runs a PN health check which picks up the BF flag. CPC are going to delete the text message
displayed on the SEL when this script runs) Here I make a mistake, I guess that 12CB38 B/F has backed up into T12 and
that isolation of T12 has caused O/L on T2. Of course T12 oos cannot cause O/L on T2 because they are separate
isolated systems.

Subject: Re: Returning equip to service - HSY outage today
Paul, equipment is scheduled out of service it returns to service when it is ready. There are so many factors that affect
equipment returning to service the return date and time are subject to many variables. All I can suggest is that RTO does
a risk assessment when energization plans are carried out and defer to a lower impact time. I don't know what's driving
this question but I'm watching the news and it looks like HSY energization plan didn't go well?

Subject: HSY Trip - 2013 Dec 05
Background - HSY has four main transformers. For the past four weeks, two (Tl/Tll) have been taken OOS, and the
staion has been sourced via the remaining two (T2/T12) in order to:
1. Repair the failed section of 230 GIS bus, where both Tl/Tll connect;
2. Replace three of the four 12kV bus breakers coming off the low side of Til; and,
3. Replace the Til PN (advanced from next year's work, in order to simplify the CT connection to those new bus
breakers).
The reason for detailing this work for you here, is that upon the initial trip, there were many usual suspects being looked
at.
The situation was that initial switching was being done to return Tl/Tll to service. And T2 tripped out. There was a DS,
12D34, that may or may not have hung up or been seated properly. But current thinking from the station is that T2 went
out on overload (T2 BUPN covers its low side bus and has overcurrent pn). T2, which tripped, wasn't involved in the
recent construction work.
An attempt at quickly picking up the whole station didn't succeed, so they sectionalized and picked up load piece-by-
piece. They now have the station on three transformers (T2, T12, and Tl is switched back in as well) - FVO decided not
to try and bring Til back in tonight, sounds like we'll do that tomorrow.
CPC & EL crews remain at the station gathering info for analysis and reviewing settings; area manager is on site as well.

Subject: RE: HSY Tl and T2 51TB Settings
Thanks Kelly,
Dave: These new settings will now permit T1/T2 transformer loading to their full rating. As Kelly mentioned that there
is some discomfort at our end because the new setting does not have the desired sensitivity under the weak source
condition, whose mitigation requires addition of the torque control. As per our file note, the protection was put in-
service in 1992 without torque to avoid the added cost at that time. Note that the under voltage torque control will be
added in the current HSY project.
Also, thanks for clarifying in your other email, that it is the bus backup protection because some non-protection folks are
calling it overload protection mis-operation, in fact, the backup protection operated exactly as designed. As I
understand, the protection limit was known.

give us a pickup ofj^primary and an increased protection load limit capability ofJUêr transformer. This
setting change is in response to the overload conditions that we presently have at HSY. These settings are somewhat
higher than we would like but we are limited by the fact these relays have discreet taps and are not torque controlled.
The upcoming protection replacement for these transformers will address these issues and we can accept reduced

Update:
Steven created an outage event (8-163660) for HSY 25B115, based on feedback about the PN operation, including
transformers (assuming necessary for the SDR) and feeders. The event rolls up the related feeder outages to 47,860
CHL There were periods where some portion of the feeder load was returned but then tripped out again (after 4-5
min). To capture this return granularity will be difficult - if necessary to do so, we can to capture a second
interruption; or alternative we can shorten the outage duration. This event is available for updating now (to capture the

With both transformers back in totalized load current was'sitting around 2000A, so below relay pickup. However, Dave
and Kevin will block those relays until tomorrow. We have full protection coverage until then. The concern is that if one
transformer goes out then the.other will follow.
Until we see what we can do with protection, the concern is overload If we are down to one transformer again. FVO will
need to keep an eye on loading if one transformer goes out.

Horsey restoration is in progress, ~50% of customer load currently restored. Causal analysis is ongoing without out a
clear answer at this time.
MH
T2, in addition to having PY differential and SY differential, also has "back-up protection" BU PN covering the low side
transformer bus. The timed bvercuf rent setting (for device 51TBB, which is what tripped) is listed as 1500A (station
setting sheets state that it's actqalry 1875A, providing a little bit more margin for ioad). We went out With' the station
25kV load at 1900A. Additionally, there Is no torque control on this protection (voltage supervision) which we usually
apply to bus protection to prevent tripping on overload instead of faults. This 1875A load threshold with no torque
control is not written in a way to be very evident to the system operator at FVO, and was likely a blind spot to FVO and

Because T2 and T12 are on the same 230 ring position (2B4), when T2 carrying the 25kV station load tripped, we also
lost the T12 carrying the 12kV station load.
Upon an attempt to re-energize, T2 went out again after about ten seconds oh timed overcurrent.
An attempt to pick up the load With Tl instead resulted in the same tripafter ten seconds (identical Tl pn as for T2,
same load conditions). Then an attempt was made to pick up feeder sections one by one. As the final load block was
picked up, same result, thereby resulting in the realization that we were tripping on overload.
Finally, both Tl and T2 Were switched in7 permitting the load to be picked up without overload. This morning> the
loading on T2 is therefore cut in half to 970A.

Do we have the same risk of losing the 12kV load on the single T12 carrying the 12kV load today? (A decision was made
last night not to swjtch In Til.) A review of the "BU PN" for HSY T12 (on page 12 of the HSY Protection Info Sheets)
shows that the timed overcurrent setting for the T12 low side bus is 4000A and that torque control is applied (to guard
against tripping on heavy load) -the 12kV load here is presently 3000A. So, we're OK.

Thanks Dave, excellent summary. From an operations, perspective as per SOO 6T-31 we would expect 100M.VA from HSY
T2 instead of the bank tripping at 82MVA.

2.0 GUIDELINES
A short time emergency overload in excess of 133% rated transformer loading capability
is considered to be a single occurrence (i.e., the overload period is not repeated) not
exceeding any of the following parameters:
1. A period of ten hours.

2. A top oil temperature of 110 degrees Celsius.
3. A hotspot (winding) temperature of 140 degrees Celsius.
4. 200% of rated nameplate load if preloading is less than 60% of the nameplate
ratings. Overload is restricted to 150% if pre-loading was less than 90% of
nameplate ratings. Overloading is limited to 133% if pre-loading is less than Q0%
of nameplate.

Subject: HSY - What happened?
In a nutshell, no one was watching the load and the sudden cold snap caught us. It could have happened with a
snowstorm any time over the past four weeks.
HSY 2B2 - which sources the 25kV load via Tl and which also sources the 12kV load via Til - had been switched out for
the past four weeks, and Tl/Tll were an hour away from being returned to service (oh, so close)'.
For the past four weeks, the 25kV load was being sourced via T2, and the 12kV load was being sourced via T12. Both
these transformers are on 2B4 (as opposed to Tl/Tll which are both on 2B2).
The energization plan to return the station to full capacity was being worked through late yesterday afternoon, and they
were at step 19. (Note the plan to leave Tl off-loaded until the return of Til was complete. In hindsight, picking up 25I<V
load with Tl after step 13 would have saved us.)

At this point, T2 BUPN tripped on overload. Let me expand on this event, with reference to the Protection Info Sheets
for HSY. We don't often have overload protection on transformers - instead we alarm to the system operators at FVO
and allow them to offload rather than trip. However, on page four of the HSY Protection Info Sheets you'll see that HSY

Hi everybody,
Protection operations were via transformer bus backup protection. Pickup is 1875 A and there is no torque
control.
With both transformers back in totalized load current was sitting around 2000A, so below relay pickup.
However, Dave and Kevin will block those relays until tomorrow. We have full protection coverage until then.
The concern is that if one transformer goes out then the other will follow.
Until we see what we can do with protection, the concern is overload if we are down to one transformer
again. FVO will need to keep an eye on loading if one transformer goes out.
Thanks,
DaveS

Good summary Dave. Thanks for info. I got tied up at JOR this morning trying to get the oil sample details sorted with
Powertech as we require the results today (was hoping to get this sorted yesterday evening but this got taken over by
other minor events!). This will basically mean that generation can make the decision to return the unit or have the
bearing stripped down which is a major job, especially this side of the holidays. Thanks

a little bit more margin for load). We went out with the station 25kV load at 1900A. Additionally, there is no
torque control on this protection (voltage supervision) which we usually apply to bus protection to prevent
tripping on overload instead of faults. This 1875A load threshold with no torque control js not written in a way

Subject: HSY Trip - 2013 Dec 05
Background - HSY has four main transformers. For the past four weeks, two (Tl/Tll) have been taken OOS, and the
staion has been sourced via the remaining two (T2/T12) in order to:
1. Repair the failed section of 230 GIS bus, where both Tl/Tll connect;
2. Replace three of the four 12kV bus breakers coming off the low side of Til; and,
3. Replace the Til PN (advanced from next year's work, in order to simplify the CT connection to those new bus
breakers).
The reason for detailing this work for you here, is that upon the initial trip, there were many usual suspects being looked
at.
The situation was that initial switching was being done to return Tl/Tll to service. And T2 tripped out. There was a DS,
12D34, that may or may not have hung up or been seated properly. But current thinking from the station is that T2 went
out on overload (T2 BUPN covers its low side bus and has overcurrent pn). T2, which tripped, wasn't involved in the
recent construction work.
An attempt at quickly picking up the whole station didn't succeed, so they sectionalized and picked up load piece-by-
piece. They now have the station on three transformers (T2, T12, and Tl is switched back in as well) - FVO decided not
to try and bring Til back in tonight, sounds like we'll do that tomorrow.
CPC & EL crews remain at the station gathering info for analysis and reviewing settings; area manager is on site as well.

FINANCIAL EVALUATION PROCESS
The Financial Evaluation Process was described in the Financial Evaluation Manual which was reviewed
and approved by the Evaluation Committee prior to the Submission Time for Financial Submissions.
The Financial Evaluation Team was responsible for evaluating the Financial Submissions in accordance
with the RFP and producing a Financial Evaluation Summary Sheet, while the Valued Items Evaluation
Team was responsible for evaluating the Valued Items in accordance with the RFP and producing a
Valued Items Evaluation Summary Sheet. The Evaluators discussed their results with the Evaluation
Committee on a number of occasions and presented the teams' final results to both the Evaluation
Committee and the Due Diligence Committee.
The respective members of the Financial and Valued Items evaluation teams signed the completed
evaluation summary sheets, which were forwarded to the Evaluation Committee. Appendix D contains
copies of these evaluation summary sheets.
The Evaluation Committee considered the information provided by the Financial Evaluation Team and the
Valued Items Evaluation Team and generated this recommendation report for the EVP Generation.
4.1 MONITORING OF EVALUATION
The Fairness Advisor, John Singleton, was notified of all organized meetings of the Evaluators and was
invited to attend any of these meetings or be present at any time. The Evaluation Committee met
frequently with the Evaluators and occasionally with the Fairness Advisor to test reasonableness of their
deliberations and compliance with process. The Fairness Advisor's Report will be submitted to the EVP
Generation at the completion of the Financial Submission evaluation process.
4.2 DUE DILIGENCE
The Due Diligence Committee met with the Evaluators and the Evaluation Committee to test the
reasonableness of their deliberation and process compliance.

4.4 REFERENCE CHECKS
While the RFP did not require the Proponent to provide references for named Key Individuals, the RFP
allowed the Evaluators to ask for references should checks be deemed necessaryl
4.5 PROPONENT MEETINGS
Meetings with both Proponents were held on September 24, 2013 to discuss affordability issues and
potential solutions for reducing the Project's scope.
4.6 DISQUALIFICATIONS
No Financial Submissions were disqualified during the process. An evaluation was completed for each
Proponent.
4.7 CHANGES AND ADDITIONS
During the evaluation process, the following changes and additions were made by the Evaluation
Committee:
s. 17
Both Proponents' Financial Submissions!
The Evaluation Committee recommended that the RFP process
be amended to request Supplemental Financial Submissions from both Proponents based on
modified Project specifications. This decision was reviewed by the Due Diligence Advisors,
Fairness Advisor, Legal Advisor and approved by the John Hart Project Board.
As allowed for in the RFP, the Supplemental Financial Submission was formalized through
Addendum 20. The Supplemental Financial Submission asked for updated pricing from the
Proponents based on modified Project specifications as illustrated in the updated Final Draft
Project Agreement.
BG hydro partnerships

October 28, 2013

The Evaluation Manual was updated to reflect the specifics of the Supplemental Financial
Submission. The majority of the original Financial Submission Evaluation Manual remained the
same for the Supplemental Financial Submission, including the team members, roles and
responsibilities.
The Evaluation Summary Sheets completed at the end of the Financial Submission were updated
to incorporate the results of the Supplemental Financial Submission evaluation.
As discussed in Appendix A of the RFP, the Proponent with the lowest Adjusted Proposal Net
Present Cost in their Supplemental Financial Submission would be ranked the highest.
Upon opening both Proponents' Envelope 1 of the Supplemental Financial Submission, it was
determined that SNC-Lavalin had the lowest Adjusted Proposal Net Present Cost. On that basis,
the Evaluation Committee Chair instructed the evaluators to only open SNC-Lavalin's Envelope 2,
leaving Elk Falls Energy Partners' Envelope 2 unopened. As a result, Elk Falls Energy Partners'
financial evaluation summary sheet was not updated for the Supplemental Financial Submission.

provided by the Financial and Valued Items Evaluation Teams. The Financial Evaluation Summary
Sheets and the Valued Item Evaluation Summary Sheets are included in Appendix D and summarize the
key evidence supporting the Financial Evaluation Team and the Valued Item Evaluation Team's

The Evaluation Committee concluded that both Proponents substantially satisfied the requirements of the
RFP.

Subject: Dec 5th Victoria Outage Follow-up
Importance: High
Preliminary investigation has confirmed the cause of outage (overload protection operated as designed) and found a
number of contributing factors into the downtown Victoria outage yesterday evening, including:
Incorrect load forecast - Horsey (HSY) substation has four step-down transformers (two 230kV/12kV
transformers Til and T12 and two 230kV/25kV transformers Tl and T2) supplied by two 230 kV cables (2L143
and 2L146). Two transformers (Til and Tl) was out-of-service at the time to facilitate Distribution Growth
capital projects. Operations studies based on incorrect load forecast indicated thatT2 and T12 would be
adequate to carry HSY load. T2 loading exceeded its continuous loading limit as the load peaked and overload
protection tripped the transformer and cleared the substation with its configuration at the time.
ACTION: Operations Planning to work with Distribution Engineering and Distribution Planning to improve load
forecast quality, and review operating policy for heavy load operations (e.g. more conservative margins for
recalling equipment).
Frozen telemetry on T2 MW - the telemetry for this data point went flat-line at 12:42 (cause unknown at this
point, may be due to telemetry instrument at HSY or EMS problem). The operator may have been alerted of the
pending loading problem and taken action to restore Til and/or Tl sooner if valid telemetry was available.
ACTION: Grid Ops to lead investigation to determine root cause of telemetry problem and make correction.
Cold Load Pickup (restoration delay) - during restoration, the Load Operator attempted to restore a larger area
of customers that the system can handle (known as cold load pickup- higher than normal consumption level
when the load is being restored) which resulted in customers restored momentarily and were out-of-service
again, and a longer outage period overall.
ACTION: Real Time Operations to review restoration procedures withall operators, and a lesson-learned session
at upcoming training seminars.
Outage Notification - the on-shift System Control Manager emailed outage notification out at 4:43 pm, 7 min
after the outage, but with an incorrect email distribution list. The mistake was noticed and corrected at 9pm.
ACTION: RTO to review incident with all System Control Managers on outage notification.

A pick up. As you can see telemetry gets frozen at some point today - we would have been reaching a new peak rather
than flat lining. The last value for T2 B phase A is 1819A at 12:40 (not shown here) - so for sure we would have gone
past the 1875 A pick up and eventually trip the transformer zone (T2 and T12) causing the station to go black. We were
vulnerable with only T2 and T12 in service, i.e. we could not handle this heavy peak load. The event happened within 2
minutes of the close of 12D34,1.2D44 and 12D5 (energization plan for 12CB31, 32 and 34 underway) - there was a
problem with 12D34 so there was some thought that maybe this had somehow triggered the event.
During restoration we tripped off again when we tried to restore the entire 25 kV feeder section - cold load pick up
caused us to shoot up to 2000 A according to our telemetry. We had to do things slower and in phases to avoid the cold
load pick up problem.
Protection Information Sheets have incorrect information regarding the LV phase overcurrent setting - it states 1500 A
rather than the 1875 A. This certainly doesn't help with understanding the situation in Real-time. I will also send a note
inquiring about the stuck telemetry.

Subject: FW: HSY - What happened?
Dave Clark explains it in a bit of detail but basically the load on the transformer crept up on the cold day as it got dark
and we tripped the transformer on the overload protection. This is a relatively unusual protection for a transformer and
no one in FVO or in the field foresaw that it might come in to play given the system configuration.
The configuration was that T2/T12 have been supplying the load for the last month while Tl/Tll have been out for
various work associated with the Horsey capital projects. And T2/T12 hang off the same bus position so when we
tripped T2, we also lost T12 and all 25kV and 12kV load was lost at once.
Because we were coincidentally switching Tl back into service at exactly the time this happened (about 30 more
minutes and we would have had T2 load reduced by sharing with Tl) there was some thinking that the switching was
somehow the cause of the trip. This led to the unsuccessful attempts to pick up load with Tl until we finally realized that
overload was an issue.
We will need to do some work to figure out how to avoid this type of situation happening again.
Just for fun, I attach the Horsey one-line diagram.

Subject: FW: We just lost horsey sub all of it!
Ted Olynyk has just done a bunch of media interviews on this issue and has indicated that it is an equipment problem
that we are still investigating and we don't know the cause. Please ensure that none of our staff speak with the media as
there are likely reporters around the station.
I have no details yet (Ted had his info from FVO) but please copy Ted on any updates as he will be doing further follow-
up interviews and the more information he has the better he can respond.
PowerOn shows we are down to restoring the last few feeders.
Please give me what you can when you can as Lanny, Greg and others have been looking for an update.
Thanks.

Thanks, Eric.
Glen, if you start to get more details, please let me know so I can inform others.
I got a call from the Restoration Centre and their story is that FVO says back on at 18:00 but I'm not sure if that is an
estimate or based on an assessment of the situation.
55,000 customers it sounds like.
