TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

SUMMARY
Introduction
The Transmission Forecast Statement (TFS) describes the status of the transmission grid over the seven-year period from 2010 to 2016. It provides information to customers examining the potential of the grid from the electricity generator or large consumer perspectives. The technical information is provided to help customers identify and evaluate the opportunities available for connecting to or making use of the transmission system and to allow them, if desired, to undertake their own power flow analyses. The TFS provides information about potential network constraints which should be informative for customers intending to participate in the electricity market. In this statement the Transmission System Operator (TSO) updates the information published in earlier Transmission Forecast Statements in light of developments that have either taken place or are currently scheduled to be completed over the coming years.

Overview of Information Provided


T h e f o r m a t o f T r a n s m i s s i o n F o r e c a s t S t a t e m e nt 20 1 0 - 2 0 1 6 V er s i o n 2 . 0 i s a s f o l l o w s : TFS 2010-2016 Ver 2.0 undertakes a comprehensive review of existing and planned transmission network data and the existing and projected demand and generation data. The information is presented in the form of maps, network diagrams, data tables and network models which are in electronic format. TFS 2010-2016 Ver 2.0 includes a short circuit analysis to determine the maximum and minimum short circuit levels at each 110 kV, 220 kV and 400 kV busbar on the transmission system, for three stages of the seven year period covered by the TFS 2010, 2013 and 2016. TFS 2010-2016 Ver 2.0 contains the results of analysis to quantify the Incremental Transfer Capability (ITC) likely to be available between various parts of the grid. This information is a general guide to potential demand customers who are considering connecting to the grid. EirGrid carried out the short circuit and ITC analysis for TFS 2010-2016 Ver 2.0 and updated the network models and tables based on data as known on the 01st of July 2009. The data was frozen at this point. TFS 2010-2016 Ver 2.0 presents the opportunities for generator connections identified through the Gate 3 process and outlines the generation opportunities arising from EirGrids grid development strategy, GRID25.

The National Grid


The national grid plays a vital role in the supply of electricity. In simple terms, it transports power from generators to demand centres using a system comprising 400 kV, 220 kV and 110 kV networks. The 400 kV and 220 kV networks form the backbone of the grid. They have higher power carrying capacity and lower losses than the 110 kV network. The 400 kV lines cross the country providing a high capacity path for power flows between north and south Dublin, Galway and the Moneypoint generation station in Co. Clare. The 220 kV network comprises a number of single circuit loops around the country. The 110 kV network is the most extensive part of the grid, reaching into every county in the Republic of Ireland. The grid is planned and developed to ensure it meets projected transmission needs while maintaining its performance within defined reliability standards. The analysis of current performance indicates that the network is within standards in most areas at this time. To continue to meet standards, in the context of forecast demand and new generation connections, there is a requirement for ongoing development to reinforce the grid. The transmission development projects, selected and planned by the TSO as at the time of the TFS 2010-2016 data freeze date (July 2009), are listed in Section B.2 of Appendix B and are included in the short circuit and ITC analyses carried out for TFS 2010-2016 Ver 2.0. Projects selected and planned since July 2009 are listed in Section 1.4.

Single Electricity Market


In November 2007, a Single Electricity Market (SEM) was established on the island of Ireland. The all-island wholesale electricity market allows both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to benefit from increased competition, reduced energy costs and improved reliability of supply. The national grid is electrically connected to the transmission system of Northern Ireland by means of one 275 kV double circuit connection at Louth and two 110 kV connections at Letterkenny in Co. Donegal and Corraclassy in Co. Cavan. EirGrid and Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE) are planning a new 400 kV cross-border circuit, which is due to be installed by 2012. Together with other reinforcements, the new circuit will facilitate a greater degree of flexibility in the new market. In the context of the SEM, all cross-border circuits are essentially internal circuits in the new market.

Interconnection
In July 2006, Minister Noel Dempsey TD, then Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, requested that the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) arrange a competition to secure the construction of a 500 MW East-West interconnector between Ireland and Great Britain. The CER was also requested to instruct the TSO to carry out the

S-2

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

technical work of selection of a sub-sea route and other sites for the construction of the interconnector and necessary grid reinforcement works. As recommended by the TSO, the CER has since approved the choice of Woodland as the connection point on the Irish system for the interconnector. Deeside in North Wales has been selected as the connection point on the British system. The interconnector is expected to be in place by 2012.

Demand Forecasts
The projections of demand for electricity are largely based on forecasts of economic growth produced by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI). The projections are c o m p a t i b l e w i t h p r o v i s i o n a l d e m a n d f i g u r e s i n t e n d e d f o r i n c l u s i o n i n t h e G e n er a t i o n

A d e q u a c y R ep o r t 2 0 1 0 - 2 0 1 6 .
The grid must be capable of transporting power flows for varying levels of demand. However, the flow at peak demand is frequently, although not exclusively, the most onerous. The projections of demand flows at peak are discussed in Chapter 3. Table S-1 shows the forecasts of peak transmission demand for the years 2010 to 2016. These are equivalent to projections of peak exported generation requirements. Appendix C presents forecasts of demand at each station connected to the grid. Forecasts of transmission flows at peak take account of non-wind embedded generation. Because of its size and variability, transmission and distribution-connected wind generation is modelled explicitly in the analyses carried out for this TFS. In overall terms, the TSO expects that the peak demand will increase by approximately 2.0% each year over the period of the TFS, which is 0.9% lower than that expected in

Generation Connections
At the time of the data freeze (July 2009), some 7,250 MW (net) of generation capacity was installed, of which 6,454 MW is connected to the national grid and 796 MW is connected directly to the distribution system. New generators with signed connection agreements are included in the short circuit analysis for this statement. Table S-2 summarises the planned connections as at the beginning of July 2009, when data was frozen for the purposes of TFS model updates. Table S-2 Summary of Generators with Signed Connection Agreements before July 2009 Type of Generation Thermal Wind Farm Thermal Hydro Wind Farm Total Connected to Transmission Transmission Distribution Distribution Distribution No. of Connections 6 14 3 1 112 136 MW 1,535 582 4.4 0.4 843 2,966

Taking account of these committed connections and expected unit deratings, the installed capacity would be 9,968 MW by the end of 2016, of which 8,325 MW will be transmissionconnected. In February 2009, ESB Power Generation confirmed that it intends to close Poolbeg Units 1, 2 and 3 and the steam turbine at Marina by early 2010. The larger gas turbine at Marina will remain operational. In July 2008, it was announced that the Spanish power company, Endesa, had agreed to purchase Great Island and Tarbert generation stations as well as Rhode and Tawnaghmore peaking plants from ESB. The exact details of the future operation of these plants have yet to be finalised by Endesa. EirGrid and ESB Networks have processed more than 1,300 MW of wind generation connection applications under the CERs Gate 2 direction on wind farm connections. Applicants that have accepted their offers prior to the data freeze have been included in the model updates and are described in Chapter 4 and Appendix D. EirGrid and ESB Networks are currently assessing more than 10,000 MW of generator connection applications for firm access under the CERs Gate 3 direction on the group processing scheme for generators. It is currently expected that circa 6,000 MW of generation will receive connection offers under Gate 3. Since the July 2009 data freeze a number of developments have occurred with regard to planned and installed generation. Three new conventional generation plants, Cuilleen 98.4 MW OCGT plant at Athlone, Co. Westmeath, Suir 98 MW OCGT plant at Cahir, Co.

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

Tipperary and Caulstown 58 MW OCGT Peaking Plant at Caulstown, Co. Louth as well as one 70 MW pumped storage plant at Knocknagreenan, Co. Cork, have signed non-firm connection agreements. As stated in the direction published by the CER entitled Direction on Conventional Offer Issuance Criteria and Matters Related to Gate 3 (Reference: CER/09/191), the firm access dates for these plants has been determined as part of the Gate 3 group processing scheme for generators.

Transmission System Capability Analyses


The national grid is planned to accommodate anticipated power flows based on existing and planned generation and demand c o n n e c t i on s , and on interconnection with other transmission systems. This TFS examines the capability of the grid to accommodate additional flows resulting from a new demand connection based on data describing the existing and planned transmission system frozen at the beginning of July 2009. Capability is assessed at three stages of the seven-year period of the TFS - 2010, 2013 and 2016. For the purposes of the analyses, generation was dispatched on an all-island basis in the cases upon which studies were carried out. This was done in order to reflect the manner in which generation is dispatched in the SEM. The locations analysed for new demand have been carefully reviewed this year based on feedback from industry sources. The chosen stations have been tailored to closely match the needs of the users. In total, 29 stations are analysed for new demand connections. The results are useful to those considering development of a significant demand in the Republic of Ireland. They provide an indication of locations that are capable of accepting new demand connections without the need for further reinforcement of the grid.

Opportunities for New Demand


The grid is planned and developed to meet forecast demands in all parts of the country. The demand forecast for each 110 kV station is a proportion of the overall system demand forecast based on historical demand distributions. An average annual increase of 2.0% is expected at each station. This statement examines the capability of selected 110 kV stations to accept a new demand additional to these forecasts. It should be noted that individual small demands of up to 10 MW are likely to be accommodated at most locations. To put this in context, a demand of 10 MW represents the consumption of a typical pharmaceutical plant. As a general rule, opportunity at a particular station would tend to reduce over the course of the seven years as normal demand growth uses the available capacity. However, in many cases demand opportunities improve in later years as a result of planned network or generation developments.

S-5

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

The results of the analysis point to opportunities at the majority of the stations tested. Figure S-1 shows the opportunities for new demand in 2013 and 2016. The diagrams show that there will be significant demand opportunities in most parts of the country in both years. The TSO is currently considering plans for network developments that will improve opportunities for increased demand in Dublin and the south-east.

Opportunities for New Generation


Traditionally the TFS examines the capability of the grid to accommodate additional flows resulting from a new generator connection based on data describing the existing and planned transmission system at the time of the data freeze. TFS 2010-2016 Ver 2.0 presents the opportunities for generator connections identified through the Gate 3 process and outlines the generation opportunities arising from EirGrids grid development strategy, GRID25. A summary of the generation opportunities identified as part of the Gate 3 process illustrate that by 2016 the developments associated with Grid25 create firm capacity on the grid to accommodate more than 2,000 MW of Gate 3 generation.

Conclusion
EirGrid has plans in place to cater for the forecast needs of the grid. However, network development planning is a continuous process designed to meet the ever changing needs

S-6

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

for transmission. Connection of new generation and large point demands can result in a step change in grid requirements and in its ability to operate within standards. In particular, large generator connections can give rise to the need for large transmission reinforcement projects that may take a long time to complete. Developers wishing to connect should consult the TSO early in their development process to explore options relating to their proposal thus enabling timely decision making. Those who are considering connecting generation or demand to the national grid should contact the TSO at info@eirgrid.com for further information.

INTRODUCTION

The national grid is a high voltage system of networks which transports power from generators to demand centres. The flow of power is determined by the levels of demand at all parts of the system and by the size and location of generation supplying that demand. Interconnection with other systems can be a source of generation or a demand for power.

These documents present a snapshot of the development plans at a point in time. However, the planning and development process is dynamic and may be refined in light of more up-to-date information. As such, network development plans should be confirmed with the TSO before any business decisions are taken based on the content of this document. Maps, schematic diagrams and network details are included in Appendix A and Appendix B. Geographical maps of the transmission system are provided in A3 format in Appendix I. Chapter 3 describes the demand forecasts and Chapter 4 describes the generation projections. Details of the demand forecasts and generation assumptions are in Appendix C and Appendix D respectively. The assumptions presented in Chapters 2 to 4 form the basis of the short circuit currents presented in Chapter 5 and the analysis of transfer capabilities described and reported in Chapters 6 to 8. Appendix E presents forecast short circuit currents at all grid stations.

In November 2007, a Single Electricity Market (SEM) was established on the island of Ireland. The all-island wholesale electricity market allows both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to benefit from increased competition, reduced energy costs and improved reliability of supply. The national grid is electrically connected to the transmission system of Northern Ireland by means of one 275 kV double circuit connection at Louth and two 110 kV connections at Letterkenny in Co. Donegal and Corraclassy in Co. Cavan. The TSO and Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE) are planning a new 400 kV cross-border circuit, which is due to be installed by 2012. Together with other reinforcements, the new circuit will facilitate a greater degree of flexibility in the new market. In the context of the SEM, all cross-border circuits will essentially become internal circuits in the new market. In order to reflect the way in which the transmission systems of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland operate, the network was assessed with generation dispatched on an allisland basis in network models. As such, flows of power across cross-border circuits were permitted in the short circuit and power flow analyses carried out for TFS 2010-2016. It is important to note however that only the performance and capability of the transmission system of the Republic of Ireland is considered. The performance and capability of the transmission system of Northern Ireland is addressed in SONIs Transmission System Seven Year Statement.

TREATMENT OF INTERCONNECTION

In July 2006, Minister Noel Dempsey TD, then Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, requested that the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) arrange a competition to secure the construction of a 500 MW East-West interconnector between Ireland and Great Britain. The CER was also requested to instruct the TSO to carry out the technical work of selection of a sub-sea route and other sites for the construction of the interconnector and necessary grid reinforcement works. As recommended by the TSO, the CER has since approved the choice of Woodland as the connection point on the Irish system for the interconnector. Deeside in North Wales has been selected as the connection point on the British system. The interconnector is expected to be in place by 2012.

DATA MANAGEMENT

System development is continuously evolving. In order to carry out analyses and to update the network models and appendices for the TFS 2010-2016 Ver 2.0, the TSO froze all data relating to demand, generation and the grid at the beginning of July 2009. Since the data freeze date, a number of changes in projections have emerged. These changes have been documented and discussed in Chapter 2. The more significant changes in projections are as follows: Connection agreements for 324 MW of Transmission connected generation: Cuilleen 98.4 MW OCGT plant at Athlone, Co. Westmeath; Suir 98 MW OCGT plant at Cahir, Co. Tipperary; Caulstown 58 MW OCGT Peaking Plant at Caulstown, Co. Louth; 70 MW pumped storage plant at Knocknagreenan, Co. Cork.

The following grid developments have been initiated as projects: Uprating of the Cahir-Doon 110kV line; Uprating of the Great Island-Waterford No.1 110kV line; Uprating of the Limerick-Monateen 110kV line; Uprating of the Cathaleens Fall-Coraclassy 110kV line; Uprating of the Carrigadrohid-Kilbarry 110kV line; Uprating of the Coolroe-Inniscarra 110kV line; Construction of a new 110 kV station at Oranmore, Co. Galway which will be connected into the existing Cashla-Galway No. 3 110 kV circuit; Uprating of the Cashla-Ennis 110kV line.

THE ELECTRICITY TRANSMISSION NETWORK


OVERVIEW OF THE ELECTRICITY TRANSMISSION NETWORK

The national grid plays a vital role in the supply of electricity, providing the means to transport power from the generators to the demand centres using a system comprising 400 kV, 220 kV and 110 kV networks. The national grid is electrically connected to the transmission system of Northern Ireland by means of one 275 kV double circuit connection at Louth and two 110 kV connections at Letterkenny in Co. Donegal and Corraclassy in Co. Cavan. The 400 kV and 220 kV networks form the backbone of the grid. They have higher capacity and lower losses than the 110 kV network. The 400 kV network provides a high capacity link between Moneypoint generation station and Galway on the west coast and Dublin on the east. The 220 kV network comprises a number of single circuit loops around the country. Typically large generation stations (greater than 100 MW) are connected to the 220 kV or 400 kV networks. The 110 kV1 lines, which constituted the entire transmission system prior to the 1960s, provide parallel paths to the 220 kV system. It is the most extensive element of the grid, reaching into every county in the Republic of Ireland. The transmission system generally comprises overhead lines, except in limited

circumstances, such as in the city centres of Dublin and Cork, where underground cables are used. Table 2-1 presents the total lengths of overhead lines2 and cables at the different voltage levels. Revision of individual line lengths are subject to confirmation following completion of network development projects. Table 2-1 Total Length of Existing Grid Circuits as at July 01st 2009 Voltage Level 400 kV 275 kV 220 kV 110 kV Total Line Lengths (km) 439 42 1,725 3,905 Total Cable Lengths (km) 0 0 104 53

A number of radial 110 kV lines around the country and the 110 kV lines and cables within Dublin City are currently operated by the Distribution System Operator (DSO). The DSO licence is held by ESB Networks. Details of the distribution network in Dublin are not included in this Transmission Forecast Statement. 2 Some lines may contain short sections of cable.

2- 1

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

Transformers are required to link the different voltage networks, providing paths for power to flow from the higher to the lower voltage networks. The total transformer capacity between the different voltage levels is presented in Table 2-2. Table 2-2 Total Grid Transformer MVA Capacity as at July 01st 20093 Voltage Level 400/220 kV 275/220 kV 220/110 kV Capacity (MVA) 2,550 1,200 8,989 Number of transformers 5 3 47

Reactive compensation devices are used to improve network voltages in local areas. Existing reactive devices connected to the grid include shunt capacitors, static var compensators (SVCs) and shunt reactors. Table 2-3 shows the total amounts of each type. Capacitors and SVCs help to support local voltages in areas where low voltages may otherwise occur. Shunt reactors suppress voltages in areas where they would otherwise be too high, most likely during periods of low demand.

EXISTING CONNECTIONS WITH NORTHERN IRELAND

As illustrated in Figure 2-1, the national grid is connected to Northern Ireland via three 2 7 5 5/ 2 2 0 k V t r a n s f o r m e r s i n L o u t h s t a t i o n , o n e 6 0 0 M V A u n i t a n d t w o g a n g e d 6 3 0 0 M V A units, connected to a double circuit 275 kV line running from Louth to Tandragee in Co. Armagh. In addition to the main 275/220 kV double circuit, there are two 110 kV connections, one between Letterkenny in Co. Donegal and Strabane in Co. Tyrone, and the other between Corraclassy in Co. Cavan and Enniskillen in Co. Fermanagh. The purpose of these 110 kV circuits is to provide support to either system for certain conditions or in the event of an unexpected circuit outage. Phase shifting transformers in Strabane and Enniskillen are used to control the power flow under normal conditions.

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

While the design capacity of each of the 275/220 kV cross-border circuits is 600 MVA, the actual capacity of the circuits to accommodate transfers between the two systems at any time depends on the prevailing system conditions on either side of the border, including the ability to deal with system separation.

PLANS FOR TRANSMISSION SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT

T h e T r a n s m i s s i o n S y s t e m O p e r a t o r ( T S O ) p u b l i s h e d i t s T r a n s m i s s i o n D e v e l o p me n t P l a n

2008-2012 in July 2009, following a period of public consultation. The report details the
transmission development projects that have been initiated by the TSO in addition to a discussion of further developments that may arise in the period of the plan. The development plans include projects required to facilitate demand growth and new generation and demand connections in compliance with the Transmission Planning Criteria (TPC). The planned network developments presented in this Transmission Forecast Statement (TFS) are based on those projects that have been selected as optimum solutions to known network problems. All information presented on network transfer capabilities and opportunities is contingent on the completion of these development projects in the assumed timeframe. It should be noted that the information presented here is a snap shot of an evolving plan. Further investment is likely to be required before the end of the period of the plan to maintain standards in all parts of the network. While the TSO is considering other reinforcements, these are not at the stage of maturity required for inclusion in this statement. In addition, the connection of new generation or large point demands are likely to have a step change on network performance leading to further development

requirements. The solutions are likely to be a combination of robust strategic developments and short term reinforcements to maintain flexibility in the system. The following is an overview of the major 400 kV and 220 kV network developments planned for the system at the beginning of July 2009, when data was frozen in order to facilitate the c o m p l e t i o n o f t h e T F S .

The planned developments are illustrated on a map and on the schematic network diagrams in Appendix A. New generation connections and new transmission interface stations are described in Sections 2.4 and 2.5 respectively.

2.3.1

Lodgewood 220 kV Development

Lodgewood 220 kV station in Co. Wexford will be connected into the existing Arklow-Great Island 220 kV line and linked to Crane 110 kV station. This reinforcement development is required to ensure that adequate infrastructure is in place to meet the increasing electricity demand in the area and reduce the risk of loss of supply at winter peak and during maintenance outages. This project is due for completion in 2010.

2.3.2

Aghada-Raffeen 220 kV Circuit

The planned new 220 kV circuit from Aghada to Raffeen in Co. Cork will be part submarine cable, part underground cable and part overhead line. It is expected to be completed in 2010.

2.3.3

Flagford-Srananagh 220 kV Development

Srananagh 220 kV station, east of Sligo town, will be connected to the 220 kV network by an overhead line from Flagford, near Carrick-on-Shannon, thus extending the 220 kV network into the north-west. A number of 110 kV lines will be connected into the new station, making Srananagh a new hub for power flows into the north-west. The FlagfordSrananagh 220/110 kV project is needed to reinforce the network in this area of growing demand, and to reduce the risk of loss of supply at winter peak and during maintenance outages. The 110 kV elements of this project were completed in 2009. At the time of the data freeze, it was assumed that the 220 kV elements of the project would be due for completion in 2011.

2.3.4

Glanagow-Raffeen 220 kV Circuit

The planned new 220 kV circuit from Glanagow to Raffeen in Co. Cork will be part submarine cable, part underground cable. It is expected to be completed in 2011.

2.3.5

400 kV line to Northern Ireland

A new 400 kV line between the national grid and Northern Ireland is currently being progressed by the TSO and Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE). The line will connect into a new 400/220 kV station, probably located in Co. Cavan, provisionally referred to as the Mid-Cavan station elsewhere in this TFS. In the event of a loss of the existing 275 kV double circuit connecting the national grid to Northern Ireland, the pre-fault transfers would be directed across the Letterkenny-Strabane and Corraclassy-Enniskillen 110 kV cross-border circuits. In this instance, to guard against damage to these lines, protection equipment will switch out the 110 kV circuits resulting in separation of the two systems. System separation, depending on the pre-separation flow on the Louth-Tandragee 275 kV double circuit, may result in a generation surplus on one system and a deficit on the other. The system with a supply deficit may be required to disconnect demand customers. The system with the supply surplus may have difficulty stabilising the system frequency. The impact of potential system separation on each system can result in constraints on the amount of power that can be transferred between the two systems. The new circuit will provide an alternative high capacity path for power flows in the event of the loss of the existing circuits. It will therefore overcome the system separation issue and alleviate constraints on power transfers between the two systems. The project is expected to be completed in 2012.

Together with the planned 400 kV line from MidCavan to Northern Ireland this will further strengthen the link between the two transmission systems. It is expected to be completed in the second half of 2012.

2.3.7

East-West Interconnector

In July 2006, the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources requested that the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) arrange a competition to secure the construction of a 500 MW East-West interconnector between Ireland and Great Britain. The CER was also requested to instruct the TSO to carry out the technical work of selection of a s u b - s e a r o u t e a n d o t h e r s i t e s f o r t h e c o n s t r u c ti o n o f t h e i n t e r c o n n e c t o r a n d n e c e s s a r y g r i d reinforcement works. In July 2007 the CER approved the choice of Woodland as the connection point on the Irish system for the interconnector, as recommended by the TSO. Following the signing of a

2- 5

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

connection agreement with National Grid UK in September 2007, Deeside in North Wales has been selected as the connection point on the British system. The interconnector is expected to be in place by 2012.

A number of the existing 110 kV lines in the area will be connected to the new Finnstown station, ensuring that adequate infrastructure is in place to meet the increasing electricity demand in the West Dublin area and reducing the risk of loss of supply at winter peak and during maintenance outages. This project is due for completion in 2013.

2.3.9

Balgriffin 220 kV Development

Balgriffin 220 kV station, in north County Dublin, will be connected to the 220 kV network by an underground cable from Finglas. A number of the existing 110 kV lines in the area will be connected to the new Balgriffin station, ensuring that adequate infrastructure is in place to meet the increasing electricity demand in the North East Dublin area and reducing the risk of loss of supply at winter peak and during maintenance outages. This project is due for completion in 2013.

2.3.10

Kilpaddoge 220 kV Development

Kilpaddoge 220 kV station, in north Co. Kerry, will be connected into the existing Clashavoon-Tarbert and Killonan-Tarbert 220 kV lines. A number of 110 kV lines will be connected into the new station, making Kilpaddoge a new hub for power flows into the south-west. Kilpaddoge 220/110 kV project is needed to accommodate the planned generation in the south-west and the refurbishment of the existing Tarbert 220 kV. This project is due for completion in 2013.

2.3.11

Moneypoint-Kilpaddoge 220 kV Circuit

A planned new submarine cable across the Shannon estuary from Moneypoint in Co. Clare to Kilpaddoge in north Co.

DEMAND

The flow of power on the grid is determined largely by the generation feeding into it and the demand that is drawn from it. This chapter deals with forecasts of the total peak demand on the transmission network, and of demand at individual transmission-connected stations. The Generation Adequacy Report 2010-2016 (GAR), published by the Transmission System Operator (TSO) in November 2009, contains forecasts of future energy consumption and demand for the seven-year period to 2016.

3.1

FORECASTS OF TRANSMISSION PEAKS

Table 3-1 presents the forecasts of transmission demand for the seven years 2010 to 2016, as they were expected to be published in the GAR. It should be noted that these forecasts were the best available projections during the preparation of this statement. Ultimately, the figures published in the GAR 2010-2016 may differ slightly. While it is difficult to accurately predict a peak demand figure for a particular year, the forecasts in Table 3-1 may be taken as indicative of a general trend in demand growth. Three demand values are presented for each year: the winter peak, the summer peak and the summer valley. Table 3-1 Transmission Demand Forecast, MW Year 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Summer Peak 3,709 3,780 3,878 3,953 4,029 4,107 4,186 Summer Valley 1,669 1,701 1,745 1,779 1,813 1,848 1,884 Winter Peak 4,636 4,725 4,848 4,941 5,037 5,134 5,233

The winter peak figures represent the expected annual peak demands that are forecast to occur in the October to February winter period of each year e.g., the 2010 forecast of 4,636 MW is the maximum demand projected to occur in winter 2010/11. These peak forecasts take account of the influence of demand-side management (DSM) schemes, such as the TSOs winter peak demand reduction scheme (WPDRS). In winter 2008/09, DSM accounted for approximately 138 MW of a reduction to the peak demand. This amount of DSM is assumed to continue over the next eight years. The summer peak refers to the average peak value between March and September. This is typically 20% lower than the winter peak. While the overall grid power flow may be lower in summer than in winter, this may not be the case for flows on all circuits. In addition, the

3-1

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

capacity of overhead lines is lower because of higher ambient temperatures, while network maintenance, normally carried out in the March to September period, can weaken the network, further reducing its capability to transport power. The annual minimum is referred to as the summer valley in this TFS. Summer valley cases examine the impact of less demand and less generation dispatched. This minimum condition is of particular interest when assessing the capability to connect new generation.

The forecasts of summer valley demands in Table 3-1 assume a figure of 36% of the annual maximum demand, which is consistent with historical summer valley demand data.

3.1.1

Peak Out-turn for Winter 2008/09

The peak exported demand in winter 2008/09 was 4,873 MW. This figure is 269 MW lower than the transmission peak forecast for winter 2008/09 of 5,142 MW presented in

T r a n s m i s s i on F o r e c a s t St a t e m e nt 2 0 0 8 - 2 0 1 4 . A t t h e t i m e o f p e a k t h e p r o d u c t i o n f r o m w i n d
generation was 222 MW. The high peak figure indicates the difficulty in accurately predicting the maximum demand in a particular year. Peak demands may be higher or lower than forecast depending on factors such as weather conditions and customer behaviour. The TSO will continue to monitor future peaks and adjust its forecasts accordingly.

3.2

COMPARISON WITH PREVIOUS DEMAND FORECAST

Table 3-2 compares the winter peak transmission demand forecasts in this TFS with those given in Transmission Forecast Statement 2008-2014. The current demand forecasts reflect an average increase in winter peak demand of 2.0% over the period 2010 to 2016. This is lower than last years forecast average annual increase to 2014. Table 3-2 presents the differences between the peaks forecast in the previous TFS and the current forecasts. The new peaks forecast are lower than last years forecasts as a consequence of the decrease in the expected rate of demand growth.

FORECAST DEMAND AT TRANSMISSION INTERFACE STATIONS

Transmission interface stations are the points of connection between the transmission system and the distribution system, or directly-connected customers. These are mostly

3-2

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

110 kV stations. In Dublin city, where the Distribution System Operator (DSO) operates the 110 kV network, the interface is usually at 220 kV stations. Appendix C lists the forecast demands at each transmission interface station at time of winter peak, summer peak and summer valley for all years from 2010 to 2016. Demand projections at individual transmission stations are developed from the system demand forecasts on a top-down basis. The forecasting process includes regular monitoring and review of trends in consumption in all parts of the country. The allocation of the system demand forecast to each station is based pro-rata on an up-to-date measurement of actual peak demand at each station. Account is taken of planned transfers of demand between stations as agreed with the DSO. In this way, changes in the geo-diversity of electricity consumption are captured. This process provides a station demand forecast and by extension a regional demand forecast for the short to medium term. The system-wide demand forecasts, presented in Table 3-1, include transmission losses whereas the individual station demand forecasts do not. Transmission losses therefore account for the difference between the system-wide demand forecasts and the sum of the forecasts at each interface station in Appendix C. Demand forecasts for the small number of directly-connected customers are the current best estimates of requirements. In some cases, the estimates may be less than contracted Maximum Import Capacity (MIC) values, but are chosen to give a better projection of expected demand on a system-wide basis. However, when analysing the capacity for new demand in a particular area, the MIC values of local directly-connected customers are assumed to ensure that the contracted MIC is reserved. Although demand-side management schemes are expected to reduce some industries' demands over winter peak hours, their normal demand levels are included in the winter peak demand forecasts shown in Table C-1 in Appendix C and are used in the power flow diagrams in Appendix J, as they are more indicative of general power flows.

3.4

DEMAND PROFILES

Electricity usage follows some generally accepted patterns. For example, annual peak demand occurs between 17.00 and 19.00 on winter weekday evenings, while minimum usage occurs during summer weekend night-time hours. Figure 3-1 shows the profile for the weekly peaks across the year for 2008. Figure 3-2 presents four daily demand profiles that indicate how electricity usage varies throughout the day. The demand profiles are for the day on which the annual peak occurred in 2008 as well as profiles for typical summer and winter weekdays and for the minimum demand day. The profiles, with demand levels ranging from approximately 1,820 MW to

3-3

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

4,873 MW, indicate that the power system deals with a wide variation in demand throughout the year. Even within the day demand variations are substantial. Figure 3-2 illustrates that on the winter peak day the peak demand is almost twice the minimum demand on that day, a variation of over 2,513 MW. A number of points on this diagram, the winter peak (WP), typical summer peak (SP) and summer valley (SV) demands, are examined in the analyses undertaken for this TFS.

GENERATION

This chapter gives information about existing generation capacity and projections for the seven years to 2016. All generation capacity and dispatch figures in this Transmission Forecast Statement (TFS) are expressed in exported or net terms i.e., generation unit output less the units own auxiliary load. On the 01st of July 2009, when data was frozen in order to permit TFS analyses to be carried out, some 7,250 MW (net) of generation capacity was installed in the Republic of Ireland. Of this 6,454 MW is connected to the national grid and 796 MW is connected directly to the distribution system. Sections 4.1 to 4.4 detail planned developments with respect to generation over the period covered by this TFS.

4.1

EXISTING AND PLANNED GRID-CONNECTED GENERATION

The 6,454 MW figure for grid-connected generation capacity includes generators that connected to the grid in 2009, namely the Lisheen Wind Farm in Co. Tipperary (55 MW), an increase in MEC at Coomacheo Wind Farm in Co. Cork (18 MW) and an increase in MEC at Coomagearlahy Wind Farm in Co. Kerry (38.5 MW). A number of generators have applied for connection to the grid. At the time of the data freeze, 19 contracts had been signed, agreeing to connect a total generation capacity of 2,117 MW to the grid. These planned generators are listed in Table 4-1 with their expected connection dates as at the time of the data freeze. The following connection agreements signed since the data freeze date; Cuilleen 98.4 MW OCGT plant at Athlone, Co. Westmeath, Suir 98 MW OCGT plant at Cahir, Co. Tipperary, Caulstown 58 MW OCGT Peaking Plant at Caulstown, Co. Louth and Knocknagreenan 70 MW pumped storage plant Co. Cork.

PLANNED RETIREMENT/DIVESTITURE OF GENERATION PLANT

The divestiture or closure of generation plant could have a significant impact on the ability of the grid to comply with standards. Under the Grid Code, a minimum of 24 months notice is required by the TSO to address the potential implications of any generation closures. It was announced in November 2006 that an agreement had been reached between ESB and the CER to reduce ESBs share of the electricity market. Under the terms of the agreement ESB must close or divest 1,300 MW of plant by 2010. One of the provisions of the agreement is that ESB must sell peaking capacity plant totalling 208 MW, including sites and infrastructure, at Rhode and Tawnaghmore.

There is currently no set date for the connection of Moneypoint wind farm.

4-2

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

The Aghada peaking unit has subsequently been transferred to Tawnaghmore. Connection agreements have been signed with the DSO to the effect that two 52 MW peaking units will become DSO costumers, connected at Tawnaghmore. In February 2009, ESB Power Generation confirmed that it intends to close Poolbeg Units 1, 2 and 3 and the steam turbine at Marina by early 2010. The larger gas turbine at Marina will remain operational. In July 2008, it was announced that the Spanish power company, Endesa, have agreed to purchase Great Island and Tarbert generation stations as well as Rhode and Tawnaghmore peaking plants from ESB. The exact details of the future operation of these plants have yet to be finalised by Endesa.

4.3

EMBEDDED GENERATION

On the 01st of July 2009, there was approximately 796 MW of embedded generation plant i.e., plant connected to the distribution system or to the system of a directly-connected demand customer. This figure comprises combined heat and power (CHP) schemes, small industrial thermal units and renewable generation from wind, small hydro, land-fill gas (LFG) and biomass sources. Table 4-2 lists the existing embedded generation capacity totals by generation type. Table D-3 in Appendix D provides details of the existing embedded wind farms and their capacities. Table 4-2 Existing Embedded Generation as at July 01st 2009, MW Wind Net Capacity (MW) Small Hydro 512 22 Biomass/ LFG 33 116 9 104 796 CHP Industrial Peaking TOTAL

Embedded generators reduce the demand supplied through the transmission interface stations. Forecasts of demand at the relevant transmission interface stations, presented in Table 3-1 of Chapter 3, take account of the contribution of the existing non-wind embedded g e n e r a t o r s 9.

WIND GENERATION

Over the past fifteen years wind power generation in the Republic of Ireland has increased from 6 MW (one wind farm) to 1,095 MW (79 wind farms) at the beginning of July 2009.

Because of the variability of wind, a fixed contribution from embedded wind farms is not taken into account in the calculation of the peak transmission flow forecasts. Rather a number of wind scenarios are considered in the TFS analyses.

At the time of the data freeze, a total of 558 applications for wind farm connections totalling 14,100 MW had been received by the TSO and DSO. A total of 1,316 MW of wind generation has been processed under the CERs Gate 2 direction on wind farm connections. The connection studies were carried out with Gate 2 wind farms grouped geographically, as set out in the CER direction. Figure 4-2 and Table 4-4 illustrate how Gate 2 wind generation is distributed across the country. At the time of the data freeze, 1,235 MW of the Gate 2 renewable generation connection offers have been accepted.

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

This chapter describes the future performance of the transmission network in terms of forecast power flows, compliance with planning standards, and short circuit levels. The analysis of the short circuit currents is updated in this TFS and includes any changes to the existing and planned transmission network data and the existing and projected demand and generation data since the July 2009 data freeze.

5.1

FORECAST POWER FLOWS

The power flow at any given time depends on demand levels and the output from each generator. There are many possible combinations of generator outputs (i.e., dispatches) that can meet the system demand requirements at any given time and many possible demand scenarios. Planned additions of generation, as detailed in Tables D-2 and D-3 in Appendix D, create a greater level of generation dispatch variability with which the grid must cope. In examining network performance and grid capability for new generation and demand, a range of generation dispatches is considered. As stated in Section 1.2 in Chapter 1, dispatches were prepared on an all-island basis, with power flows across the existing 275 kV and planned 400 kV cross-border circuits permitted. Dispatches considered for 2013 and 2016 included imports and exports of power across the planned East-West interconnector between Ireland and Great Britain.

5.2

COMPLIANCE WITH PLANNING STANDARDS

Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2 indicate the areas of the network likely to be outside thermal, i.e. circuit loading, and voltage standards in 2010, 2013 and 2016 based on the assumptions on transmission reinforcements, demand and generation outlined in this statement. These areas are highlighted by orange shading on the maps. The figures illustrate how the network performs against planning standards. It should be noted however that some incidents, such as a fault on a transformer or underground cable, may take a long time to repair and could temporarily change the performance outlook. A lengthy outage of a transformer or cable could weaken the network which could impact on system flexibility and on generation constraints.

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

2010

Figure 5-1 Network Performance in 2010 The 2010 snapshot shown in Figure 5-1 indicates that a number of areas are outside standards pending completion of ongoing projects. Figure 5-2 shows that network performance is expected to improve in 2013 when these reinforcements are completed, in particular following completion of the planned 220 kV Moneypoint-Kilpaddoge circuit. The analysis for 2016 shows a growing number of areas outside standards, illustrating the everchanging demands on the grid and the need for continuous development. The Transmission System Operator (TSO) has plans in place to address many of these problems and is actively considering options for addressing other future network problems. It should be noted when assessing the 2016 performance, that approximately 50% of Gate 3 wind generation was assumed to be connected by then. Areas of the network not shaded in the diagrams are expected to be within standards based on current assumptions. However, the circa 6,000 MW of generation currently expected to receive offers in Gate 3 may significantly impact on network performance, potentially putting some of these areas outside standards. Similarly, other developments such as the connection of a new large generator or demand may put areas of the network outside standards. In such cases, further investment will be required to restore the network to standards.

SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENTS

A l l n e t w o r k e q u i p m e n t m u s t b e c a p a b l e o f c a r r yi n g t h e c u r r e n t s t h a t m a y o c c u r i n t h e e v e n t of a short circuit fault. In particular, circuit breakers must be capable of opening to isolate a fault, thereby minimising risk to personnel, preventing damage to transmission equipment, and maintaining system stability, security and quality of supply. The transmission system is designed and operated to maintain short circuit levels below the standard equipment ratings listed at each voltage level in Table 5-1. In planning the system a 10% margin is applied, so that 220 kV short circuit currents, for example, will be kept below 36 kA. It should be noted that Grid Code Version 3.1 (released in May 2008) contains a modification which stipulates that fault levels at designated stations may be allowed to increase to 31.5 kA. If necessary, the equipment at these stations is to be modified or replaced in order to comply with this new rating. The stations currently designated for operation of the 110 kV equipment up to 31.5 kA, as proposed by the TSO, are; Barnahely, College Park, Corduff, Finglas, Kilbarry, Knockraha, Louth, Marina, Raffeen and Trabeg. The TSO will annually publish an updated list of designated stations.

5- 3

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

Local short circuit current is a factor to be considered in the connection of new generation or demand. The Grid Code requires that users connecting to the transmission system design their plant and apparatus to withstand the short circuit currents set out in Table 5-1. Changes in the network or the addition of generation can bring about an increase in the short circuit currents at a station nearby. Where the forecast currents would exceed the rating of a circuit breaker or other equipment, it would be essential to replace the equipment with higher rated plant or take other measures to reduce the short circuit currents. Table 5-1 Standard Equipment Rating and Maximum Design Short Circuit Currents Voltage Level 400 kV 220 kV 110 kV In Dublin Outside Dublin Designated sites Standard Equipment Short Circuit Rating 50 kA 40 kA 26 kA 25 kA 31.5 kA

Short circuit currents were calculated for all grid buses in accordance with international standards. The analysis was carried out for single-phase and three-phase faults for winter peak and summer valley, for the years 2010, 2013 and 2016. A description of the calculation method and the results are given in Appendix E as well as an explanation of the terms used. Analysis was carried out for the winter peak as the results should indicate the maximum short circuit currents on the system. Conversely, analysis of the summer valley was carried out as the results should indicate the minimum short circuit currents. The generation dispatches for the winter peak and summer valley studies are presented in Table D-4 in Appendix D. For the calculations of short circuit currents at winter peaks, all other generators are modelled as dispatched at zero MW. This measure ensures a high infeed to faults from all local generator sources in the studies ensuring that the most critical potential scenario is considered for the calculation of short circuit currents at each bus. For the calculations of short circuit currents at summer valleys, generators that were not dispatched were not synchronised to the system. The results in Appendix E include RMS break currents, peak make currents and X/R ratios. In summary, the RMS break is an indication of the short circuit currents that a circuit breaker may have to interrupt i.e., open. The peak make fault current is the maximum current that a circuit breaker may have to make i.e., close onto, at the instant of the fault. The X/R ratio is dependent on the proximity of the station to generation. A very high X/R ratio, as for Dublin stations, arises from the fact that the station is heavily interconnected

5-4

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

to the surrounding network and is close to concentrations of generation. This leads to high short circuit currents, particularly peak make currents. The studies assume that the network is in the normal intact condition (as indicated in the power flow diagrams) and that all circuits connected to a bus contribute to the fault. These results correspond to total busbar short circuit current. The short circuit current that could flow through each individual circuit breaker may be less than the total busbar short circuit current. Figure 5-3 presents the short circuit current results for the winter peak 2013 case as a percentage of standard equipment rating. Two percentage ranges are represented by different colours as indicated. The orange dots represent stations where short circuit currents may exceed 80% of the standard ratings and the purple dots between 50 and 80%. The results indicate that in most of the country short circuit currents are relatively low, whereas short circuit currents at a number of stations in Dublin and Cork are above 80% of the standard ratings because of the high concentration of existing and planned generation in those areas. Short circuit currents are also high at Louth, where the main interconnector to Northern Ireland is connected, and at Tarbert, where a new submarine cable connecting the Tarbert area to Moneypoint generation station is expected to be completed in 2013. The TSO will continue to monitor short circuit currents at these stations to ensure that they remain within safety standards.

OVERVIEW OF TRANSMISSION SYSTEM CAPABILITY ANALYSES

This chapter describes the analyses carried out to determine the capability of the grid to accommodate additional demand at various parts of the network. The results of these analyses, together with information in other chapters, provide the basis for the statements of opportunity in Chapter 8. The analyses were carried out for three specific years: 2010: This is the first year of the seven-year period of the Transmission Forecast Statement (TFS). The information provided for 2010 gives developers a useful indication as to the opportunities that exist in the short-term. 2013: This is the mid-year of the seven-year period. Because of typical lead-times for construction of demand plant, this year represents the more realistic beginning of the period of interest for developers at a pre-feasibility stage wishing to connect to the transmission system. 2016: This covers the final year of the TFS, which extends to winter 2016/17.

Studies were carried out for the summer and following winter of each year using information describing the existing and planned transmission system as known at the beginning of July 2009. The base case generation dispatch scenarios used for the studies are presented in Table D-4 in Appendix D. The locations analysed for new demand have been carefully reviewed based on feedback from industry sources. The chosen stations have been tailored to match more closely the needs of customers. It should be noted that the results of these studies are dependent on the assumptions made about generation and demand, and on the completion dates of network development projects as described in previous chapters. Factors that may influence the results are discussed in Section 6.2.

6.1

TRANSFER CAPABILITY ANALYSES FOR NEW DEMAND

The grid is planned to meet forecast demands at all stations in the country. The demand forecast for each 110 kV station is a proportion of the overall system demand forecast based on historical demand distributions. Future demand customers that have signed connection agreements are also included in station demand forecasts. While additional demands above the forecast levels are not explicitly catered for in network plans, there may be capacity for such additional demand inherent in the network at certain locations. New demands can generally locate in an area that has excess generation capacity

6- 1

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

as this will reduce power flows out of the area. Alternatively, the addition of transmission infrastructure generally provides a step increase in network capacity which may permit demands higher than forecast levels, as illustrated in Figure 6-1. The blue line represents the required capacity at a particular point in the network. The red line represents the installed network capacity. Changes in installed capacity generally come in discrete steps, thus providing spare capacity for a period of time.

The analysis carried out for this TFS examines the grids capability to accept such increased demand above forecast levels at selected 110 kV stations. The selected 110 kV stations, which feed principal towns and demand centres distributed throughout the country, are shown in Figure 8-1 in Chapter 8. The results of this analysis are useful in identifying opportunities for the connection of new or increased demand of a size typical of industrial development in the Republic of Ireland.

In summary, when demand in an area i n c r e a s e s , i t m u s t b e s u p p l i e d b y a n i n c r e a s ed o u t p u t f r o m g e n e r a t i o n u n i t s . A n i n c r e m e n t a l power transfer is created. The method for this study, therefore, involves modelling incremental power transfers between centres of existing generation and potential demand areas. The transfer limit is reached when the first circuit overload or voltage problem occurs following a circuit or generator outage. Outages during the maintenance of key circuits were considered in these studies. Dynamic stability problems were not assessed. It should be noted that only problems that are significantly exacerbated by the transfer are relevant to the analysis. In assessing opportunities for new demands, the TFS considers the capability of the transmission grid only. The capability of the distribution system is not addressed.

FACTORS IMPACTING ON RESULTS

The results of the analyses described in this chapter, and in the appendices, are based on a set of assumptions about future demand growth, generation connections and transmission developments. The key forecast factors on which the results depend are dynamic and, therefore, the reality that emerges will not exactly match the forecasts. Consequently, the results, while reasonably indicative, should not be interpreted as definitive projections. The factors likely to have an impact on the outcomes include:

NETWORK CAPABILITY FOR NEW GENERATION

This chapter provides indicative information on the opportunities for generator connections based on EirGrids grid development strategy, GRID25, and the Gate 3 group processing scheme for generators.

7.1

GRID25

Over the next 15 to 20 years, major changes will take place in Irelands electricity needs, in its sources of fuel and in its fleet of power stations. Change will increasingly be driven by issues of energy security, competitiveness, climate change and by the need to move away from imported fuels. The National Electricity Grid is a vital channel for supplying reliably, sustainable and renewable energy and for open competition within the sector. A strong transmission grid will bring the energy supplies which will enable Ireland to prosper economically and to provide good quality of life to its people. Reinforcing and upgrading the transmission system is required in order to maintain a strong grid. The capacity of the bulk transmission system, comprising circuits at 220 kV or higher, has remained largely unchanged in the last 20 years, a period that has seen a growth of 150% in the electricity demand. EirGrid calculates that to facilitate the necessary increase in renewable generation and to adequately meet the demands of the electricity customer, the capacity of the bulk transmission system will need to be doubled by 2025. The strategy for the long term development of Irelands Electricity Grid for a sustainable and competitive future is set out in GRID25. GRID25 will provide transmission capacity for increased electricity demand, new conventional generators and large amounts of renewable generation. Further details on GRID25 are available on the EirGrid website (www.eirgrid.com).

7.2

GATE 3 AND POST GATE 3 GENERATION APPLICANTS

The TSO and DSO have received a considerable number of new applications for connection of generation to the system. It is currently expected that circa 4,000 MW of wind generation and approximately 2,000 MW of conventional generation will receive connection offers in Gate 3. Figure 4-3 and Table 4-5 illustrate how Gate 3 generation is distributed across the country. Post Gate 3 there are currently a further 290 applications for renewable (mainly wind farms) connections totalling circa 8,600 MW.

GENERATION CONNECTION OPPORTUNITIES CREATED BY GRID25

On January 29th 2010 EirGrid published the Gate 3 Firm Access Quantities, in accordance with the Gate 3 group processing scheme. The publication details the potential levels of firm network access available in the electricity grid for each Gate 3 project for each year up to 2023, taking account of the proposed developments outlined in Grid25. F o r t h e p u r p o s e s o f t h i s T r a n s m i s s i o n F o r e c as t S t a t e m e n t , T a b l e 7 - 1 c o m p i l e s t h e G a t e 3 Firm Access Quantities to illustrate the level of capacity available on the electricity grid to accommodate additional generation, for three stages of the seven year period covered by the TFS 2010, 2013 and 2016. Table 7-1 illustrates that by 2016 the developments associated with Grid25 create firm capacity on the grid to accommodate more than 2,000 MW of Gate 3 generation. Table 7-1 is based directly on the Gate 3 Firm Access Quantities and the associated assumptions. Details on the Gate 3 Firm Access Quantities are available on the EirGrid website (www.eirgrid.com).

7.4
The

IMPACT OF GATE 3 AND POST GATE 3 ON CAPABILITY FOR NEW GENERATION


transmission system upgrades and reinforcements associated with GRID25 will

inherently create significant capacity on the grid to accommodate new generation. If new generators sign agreements for connection in an area that has received increased grid capacity as a result of Grid25 system reinforcements, they will use up some or perhaps all of the available capacity in that area. The quantities provided in Table 7-1 are based on analysis carried out on the applications in Gate 3. It is reasonable to assume that additional capacity, over and above that indicated in Table 7-1, will be available on various parts of the grid to accommodate some post Gate 3 generation. However, given the scale of generator applications it is unlikely, even with the significant network expansion associated with GRID25, that there will be capacity on the grid to provide firm access to all post Gate 3 applications before 2025.

7-2

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

The manner in which post Gate 3 applications will be processed has yet to be decided by the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER). Up-to-date information on applications, new generation connection agreements and the process for obtaining a formal connection offer are available on www.eirgrid.com. Before making any commercial decisions developers should contact EirGrid for discussions on their proposed developments. This TFS is published solely for the purposes of Section 38 of the 1999 Electricity Act and is not intended to have any legal effect in relation to the negotiation of contractual terms for connections to the transmission system.

NETWORK CAPABILITY FOR NEW DEMAND

The national grid is being planned to meet anticipated demand growth at all stations on the grid. Appendix C provides projections of demand at each station. This chapter presents the results of analyses of the capability of the grid to accommodate increased demand, above projected demand levels, and discusses the opportunities for increased demand of a size typical of industrial development in the Republic of Ireland. Twenty-nine 110 kV stations, which feed principal towns and demand centres throughout the country, were chosen for this analysis. These are shown in Figure 8-1.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEW DEMAND

Opportunity relates to where there is or will be capacity for greater use of the grid w i t h o u t t h e n e e d f o r f u r t h e r r e i n f o r c e m e n t s . H ow e v e r , i f a d e v e l o p e r c h o o s e s t o c o n n e c t a demand in an area that requires reinforcement, the TSO will progress relevant grid developments. Demand developers should consult the TSO early in their development process to explore options relating to their proposal thus enabling timely decision making. As a general rule, opportunity at a particular station would tend to reduce over the course of the seven years covered by the Transmission Forecast Statement (TFS) as normal demand growth uses up available capacity. However, in many cases demand opportunities improve in later years as a result of planned network or generation developments. In 2010 there will be opportunities for additional large demand at 20 of the 29 110 kV stations examined and in 2016 there will be opportunities at all 29 stations. Opportunities for increased demands are spread around the country. In general, individual demands up to 10 MW can be connected to most of the other stations on the grid. An additional demand of 10 MW or more, over and above forecast demand, represents a significant increase for most locations. To put this in context, a demand of 10 MW represents the consumption of a typical pharmaceutical plant. Figure 8-2 illustrates the opportunities for demand in 2013 and 2016. The graphics show that there will be significant demand opportunities in most parts of the country throughout the seven-year period to 2016. It should be noted that demand opportunity is tested for each station on an individual basis. As such, the opportunities presented are not cumulative i.e., if new demand connects in an area that is shown to have opportunity they will use up some or all of the available capacity in that area.

IMPACT OF CHANGES SINCE THE DATA FREEZE

Since the beginning of July 2009, a number of developments have occurred that could impact on the results in Table 8-1. The planned uprating of the Cahir-Doon 110 kV circuit and the proposed connection of a 98 MW OCGT at Cahir should improve demand opportunity at Cahir.

8.4

HOW TO USE THE INFORMATION FOR DEMAND

Although not every station was considered, the results presented can be regarded as a guide to opportunities at other stations in the same area. Those considering development of a significant demand in the Republic of Ireland should take the following approach for an indication of whether their demand is likely to be accommodated without the need for additional reinforcements that could potentially delay their connection. The first step is to consult the maps in Appendix A to find the nearest transmission station to the proposed development and where different, the nearest station for which opportunity has been assessed. The anticipated demand growth at the relevant station can be deduced from the demand forecasts presented in Appendix C. The grid is being planned to meet this level of demand increase. However, if the proposed new demand is far greater than the annual forecast increase the potential developer should check the opportunity at the

8-4

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

nearest 110 kV station presented in Table 8-1 in this chapter. The potential developer should then check the assumptions in Chapters 2 to 4 on which these results are based, and consider the impact of changes to the network since the analysis was carried out. To illustrate this approach, the following is an example of how a developer planning to connect a new large demand of 12 MW (about 13 MVA) near Castlebar in 2010 might use the TFS. The maps in Appendix A show that the nearest 110 kV station is Castlebar station. Appendix C shows that the demand at Castlebar will be about 34.4 MW at winter peak 2010/11. This is forecast to grow by 2.3 MW between 2010 and 2013 i.e., by less than 1 MW per annum. The proposed 12 MW is far greater than the annual forecast increase. It therefore represents a step change in the demand at Castlebar i.e., the type of increase that is the subject of the transfer capability analysis presented in this chapter. The results for Castlebar in Table 8-1 show that the opportunity for increased demand is less than 10 MW in 2010. The table directs the potential developer to constraint P1 in Appendix F for additional information on the constraint and the plans that the TSO have in place to address the constraint. Table F-1 in Appendix F shows that potential overloading of the Athlone-Shannonbridge 110 kV line is responsible for limiting the opportunity. The overload occurs under summer peak trip-maintenance conditions. Capital projects CP261 a n d C P 5 5 2 , w h i c h e n t a i l s c o n s t r u c t i o n o f a s ec o n d A t h l o n e - S h a n n o n b r i d g e 1 1 0 k V l i n e a n d an uprate of the existing Athlone-Shannonbridge 110 kV line, have been initiated by the TSO to relieve the constraint. Detailed information on capital projects CP261 and CP552 can be found in Appendix B. Following completion of these projects towards the end of 2012 the opportunity at Castlebar increases to 30 MW in 2013. The opportunity decreases to 20 MW by 2016 as a result of normal demand growth in the area. This indicates that the network is likely to be capable of connecting and supplying the proposed demand once capital projects CP261 and CP552 have been fully implemented.

SCHEMATIC NETWORK DIAGRAMS

Schematic diagrams are included to assist users in understanding the network and in the identification of the changes outlined in Appendix B. Lines, cables, transformers, station busbars and reactive compensation devices are illustrated in the diagrams. The type of generation (thermal, wind or hydro) at a station is also displayed. Table A-2 indicates the diagram conventions. The schematic diagram for 2009 highlights the developments due to be completed in 2009.

APPENDIX B NETWORK CHARACTERISTICS


This appendix presents details of the physical and electrical characteristics of the transmission system in tabular form. Data for the existing system is presented first, followed by the data for planned developments. The planned developments include network reinforcement projects that have been selected by the TSO, and developments necessary to connect new generation and demands to the grid as at the beginning of July 2009. Readers should refer to Section 1.4 in Chapter 1 of the main text to obtain information on projects approved since July 2009. The following is a list of tables in Section B.1: Table B-2 Characteristics of Existing 400 kV Lines Table B-3 Characteristics of Existing Cross-Border 275 kV Lines Table B-4 Characteristics of Existing 220 kV Lines and Cables Table B-5 Characteristics of Existing 110 kV Lines and Cables Table B-6 Characteristics of Existing 400/220 kV Grid Transformers Table B-7 Characteristics of Existing 275/220 kV Grid Transformers Table B-8 Characteristics of Existing 220/110 kV Grid Transformers Table B-9 Characteristics of Existing Power Flow Controller Table B-10 Characteristics of Existing Reactive Compensation The following is a list of tables in Section B.2: Table B-11 Changes in Circuit Characteristics Expected After July 01st 2009 Table B-12 Changes in Circuit Characteristics Expected in 2010 Table B-13 Changes in Circuit Characteristics Expected in 2011 Table B-14 Changes in Circuit Characteristics Expected in 2012 Table B-15 Changes in Circuit Characteristics Expected in 2013 Table B-16 Changes in Circuit Characteristics Expected Beyond 2013 Table B-17 Characteristics of Grid Transformers Expected in 2009 Table B-18 Characteristics of Grid Transformers Expected in 2010 Table B-19 Characteristics of Grid Transformers Expected in 2011

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

Table B-20 Characteristics of Grid Transformers Expected in 2012 Table B-21 Characteristics of Grid Transformers Expected in 2013 Table B-22 Characteristics of Grid Transformers Expected Beyond 2013 Table B-23 Characteristics of Reactive Compensation Expected in 2010 Table B-24 Characteristics of Reactive Compensation Expected in 2016 Tables B-2 to B-5 and Tables B-11 to B-16 include the ratings for lines and cables in MVA for winter and summer reference temperature conditions at 1 per unit (p.u.) voltage. The higher ambient temperature in summer dictates a reduced thermal rating for overhead lines. The rating is the maximum permissible power that the circuit can transport on a continuous basis. Reference ambient temperatures are: winter summer 5C; 25C.

The electrical characteristics of the transmission network at the three nominal voltage levels are quoted in per unit to an MVA base of 100, and the applicable reference voltage as reflected in Table B-1. Table B-1 Nominal and Reference Voltage Levels Nominal Voltage Level 400 kV 220 kV 110 kV Reference Voltage 380 kV 220 kV 110 kV

In some cases, other equipment associated with a line or cable, such as current transformers, may have lower ratings. However, as these are easier to uprate or change out than the line or cable, they are not expected to restrict access to the grid. Historically, a small number of 110 kV stations were connected to the grid via a tee i.e., an un-switched connection into an existing line between two other stations. For the purposes of describing the various sections of lines in the following tables, the tee point is identified by the name of the teed 110 kV station with a suffix T added.

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

APPENDIX C DEMAND FORECASTS AT INDIVIDUAL TRANSMISSION INTERFACE STATIONS


Transmission interface stations are the points of connection between the transmission system and the distribution system or directly-connected customers. Tables C-1 to C-3 list the demand forecasts at each interface station for each of the seven years to 2016 at the time of system winter peak, summer peak and summer valley, respectively. The station demand values do not include transmission losses. Demand at stations that interface with the distribution system do include distribution losses. All transmission interface stations are 110 kV stations except for the four 220 kV interface stations that supply the Dublin City networks operated by the DSO. These 220 kV interface stations, Carrickmines, Finglas, Inchicore and Poolbeg, are included at the bottom of the table. Some 110 kV stations do not interface with distribution stations or directly-connected demand stations. As there are no demand values for such stations, they are not included in this table.

GENERATION DISPATCH DETAILS

Table D-4 lists the generation dispatch profiles used for the purposes of the TFS 2010-2016 short circuit analyses and demand opportunity analysis. The SV column represents the dispatch at summer valley and WP denotes the winter peak dispatch. Wind farms were dispatched at 35% of their rated capacity, which equates approximately to their average expected output. The values shown are in exported terms i.e., they are net of each generation unit's own consumption. They indicate the power delivered to the grid. In all instances, except the dispatch profiles used for the winter peak short circuit studies, a dispatch of 0 MW indicats that the unit is not synchronised to the system and is effectively off. For the calculations of short circuit currents at winter peaks, all generators not dispatched are modelled as synchronised to the system and dispatched at zero MW. It should be noted that station demand projections are developed from the system demand forecasts on a top-down basis, using a forecast of transmission losses. The transmission loss figures calculated by the network models used in this TFS may differ from the forecast figures and hence the dispatch totals may differ from the system demand forecasts in Table 3-1 in Chapter 3.

SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENTS

BACKGROUND
circuit current levels are calculated in accordance with the UK Engineering

Recommendation G74, which is a computer based analysis based on the International Standard IEC60909. The plot in Figure E-1 shows a typical short circuit current. Short circuit current is made up of an AC component with a slow decay rate, and a DC component illustrated by the green line with a much faster decay rate.

Figure E-1 Typical Short Circuit Current The DC component of a short circuit current decays exponentially. Its rate of decay is influenced by the ratio of the reactance (X) to the resistance (R) of the paths back to the generators feeding power to the fault (the X/R ratio). The reactance component becomes less dominant further out on the grid away from major generation infeeds. Consequently the X/R ratio decreases and the rate of decay of the DC component is much faster. The faster decaying DC component results in a smaller offset applied to the total root mean square (RMS) break current. The short circuit current that a circuit breaker is expected to interrupt during a fault is the RMS of AC current offset by a DC current and is referred to as the total RMS break current. The fault breaking current rating is limited by the thermal energy that the circuit breaker can dissipate during the time the contacts take to separate. The peak make current is higher than the break current and is the most onerous condition that a circuit breaker can be exposed to. This will occur when a circuit breaker is closed onto an earthed item of equipment e.g. bus bar, transmission line, transformer etc. At this instant in time, the DC value is close to its maximum so that the total current (AC + DC) is at its peak. Circuit

E-1

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

breakers are typically rated approximately 2.5 times higher for peak make than for break currents. In general, peak make currents are of concern at stations close to major generation infeeds. The transmission system is designed and operated to maintain RMS break short circuit levels in accordance with Grid Code CC.8.6. A summary of these requirements is set out in Table E-1. In designing the system, a 10% safety margin is applied. It should be noted that Grid Code Version 3.1 (released in May 2008) contains a modification which stipulates that fault levels at designated stations may be allowed to increase to 31.5 kA. If necessary, the equipment at these stations is to be modified or replaced in order to comply with this new rating. The stations currently designated for operation of the 110 kV equipment up to 31.5 kA, as proposed by the TSO, are; Barnahely, College Park, Corduff, Finglas, Kilbarry, Knockraha, Louth, Marina, Raffeen and Trabeg. The TSO will annually publish an updated list of designated stations. Table E-1 Short Circuit Current Levels - Standard Equipment Rating Voltage Level 400 kV 220 kV Within the Dublin Area 110 kV Outside the Dublin Area Designated sites Standard Equipment Short Circuit Current Rating 50 kA 40 kA 26 kA 25 kA 31.5 kA

Recent connections of additional generation to the grid have raised concerns about the peak-make levels in some areas. Peak-make values are therefore included for completeness.

E.2

ANALYSIS

The generation dispatches used in the short circuit analysis are shown in Table D-4 in Appendix D. In the case of the winter peak studies, however, all generators that were not originally dispatched as in Table D-4 were switched in and dispatched at outputs of 0 MW and 0 Mvar. The demand at each transmission interface station is assumed to contribute 1 MVA of induction motor fault infeed per MW of load. An X/R ratio of 2.76 is assumed for these loads, in accordance with the Engineering Recommendation G74. The total RMS break current depends upon the circuit breaker break time i.e., the time it takes for the protection to operate and for the circuit breaker contacts to fully separate. A circuit breaker break time of 50 ms was assumed for the circuit breakers located at the 220 kV stations and a break time of 80 ms was applied to the 110 kV stations. These break

E-2

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

times are deemed to be appropriate in the case of the majority of circuit breakers on the network. The total RMS break current at a busbar is an indication of the short circuit level that one could expect at that point in the network. However, they do not necessarily represent the short circuit current that could flow through each individual breaker, which may be lower.

These are presented for maximum winter peak and minimum summer valley system demand conditions for 2010, 2013 and 2016.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON OPPORTUNITIES

The transmission network is designed to provide a safe, reliable and economic transport service for power from source to demand. The Transmission Planning Criteria (TPC) provides a planning framework by which a balance can be achieved between reliability and economy. Achieving this balance means that under certain circumstances some level of constraints will exist in the system. The Transmission System Operator (TSO) constantly reviews system performance as circumstances change. For example, the connection of new generation or demand to the grid, additional to the current forecasts and assumptions, or new interconnection transfers, will alter the expected power flows. Constraints will arise if the new power flows exceed planned grid capacity. In designing out these constraints the TSO will take account of the following: The extent of the constraint; The impact on system security; The overall economics of the operation of the system; The cost of the solution; The lead-time of the solution.

The analysis of transfer capabilities described in Chapter 8 identified a number of potential system constraints that could limit power flows arising from new demand connections. Most of these have been identified previously and are being managed by the TSO. These potential transmission constraints are presented in the table below. The first column in each table provides a cross-reference to the ITC results tables in Chapter 8. The second column describes potentially overloaded circuits or names of stations at which low voltages potentially occur following particular outages. The third column lists the circumstances u n d e r w h i c h t h e o v e r l o a d s o r v o l t a g e p r o b l em s o c c u r , t h e r e b y l i m i t i n g t h e I T C . F o r constraints for which projects have already been initiated, the final column provides the reader with the CP number of the capital project designed to relieve the constraint. This can be cross-referenced against the detailed descriptions of the planned projects provided in Section B-2 of Appendix B.

APPENDIX G STUDY METHODS


G.1 G.1.1 INCREMENTAL TRANSFER CAPABILITY STUDIES FOR DEMAND Background

Transfer limit analysis was used in this Transmission Forecast Statement (TFS) to determine the Incremental Transfer Capability (ITC) of the grid at a number of locations on the grid. The ITC calculated is a measure of the transfer capability remaining in the physical grid for further commercial activity over and above already anticipated uses. It provides an indication of the flexibility of the grid to accommodate future demand increases in selected areas without the requirement for further reinforcements. The transfer analysis is intended as a pre-feasibility indication of opportunity for increased demands. The method for determining ITC closely aligns with pre-feasibility study techniques.

G.1.2

Planning Criteria as Applied in Transfer Limit Analysis for Demand

In previous Transmission Forecast Statements the application of planning standards for the analyses of demand and generation was the same in all respects except for the contingencies considered and voltage analysis. In the generation studies, trip-maintenance (N-1-1) contingencies were not considered. An assumption was made that the hypothetical generator could be constrained down or off during transmission circuit maintenance. However, demands are not dispatchable, and so it is not acceptable to assume that the hypothetical demand may be constrained off during a maintenance outage. It is necessary, therefore, to assess the network performance against standards for trip-maintenance contingencies in the analysis of increased demands. The reason voltage analysis was performed as part of the ITC studies is because the addition of demand is likely to impact on local voltages.

G.1.3

Method for Calculating Transfer Limits for Increased Demand

DC loadflow techniques were used to screen for critical contingencies and thermal overloads, followed by AC loadflow studies to confirm the results of the DC loadflows and to identify voltage limitations. The network was also tested against voltage standards for a range of critical contingencies. Transfers were considered between the Dublin, Northern Ireland and South

generation blocks described in Table G-1 in Section G.1.3.2 and the twenty-nine 110 kV test nodes selected for analysis.

G-1

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

The initial generator dispatches for the transfer capability studies are presented in Table D4 in Appendix D. Generators were modelled with their maximum output equivalent to their Maximum Continuous Rating (MCR). As wind energy is variable, it cannot be relied upon to serve demand. As such, local wind generation was switched out in the vicinity of the test node. These dispatches, with wind generation local to the test node switched out, were used for single contingency (N-1) studies. For N-G-1 and N-1-1 contingencies, the centrallydispatchable generation local to the test node was maximised to its MCR value, to create a more favourable dispatch for the maintenance case. To calculate the ITC, demand at 95% power factor was added at the test node in increasing amounts. This was balanced by an equivalent increase in generation output from existing generation within one of the three generation blocks. This is illustrated in Figure G-1. In cases where full capacity was reached on all generation units within a generation block, the maximum capacity was increased to allow further transfer. The limit for increased transfers from the generation block to the test node was established by checking the postcontingency performance of the grid against thermal and then voltage standards. The process was then repeated for the two remaining generation blocks. Problems on the grid were not considered limiting unless they were sensitive to the incremental transfers under examination. For the purposes of the studies for this TFS the sensitivity factor used was a change in circuit loading of 5 MW or more for a 100 MW transfer. In addition, overloads on the 220 and 400 kV networks were considered sensitive to the transfer only if they were increased by 4 MW or more. Voltage problems were considered sensitive if the voltage dropped by more than 3% for every 100 MW. To assist the reader, the information from this analysis is presented concisely by combining the results of the ITCs from the Dublin, Northern Ireland and South generation blocks to each of the 29 selected 110 kV stations. This provides an indication of the capabilities for increased demand at each station. When considering single contingencies (N-1) on an intact network the minimum ITC from Dublin, Northern Ireland or the south was chosen. However, when considering trip-maintenance contingencies (N-1-1), the greater of the ITCs from Dublin, Northern Ireland or the south was chosen. This was based on the assumption that less onerous generation dispatches could be scheduled to accommodate maintenance outages. The results are presented in Section 8.1 of Chapter 8.

Example: Calculation of Capability for Demand at Shankill 110 kV Station

This section provides an example of the analysis of the capability of Shankill 110 kV station to accommodate increased demand at summer peak 2013. The example illustrates the steps taken towards deriving the demand opportunity at Shankill 110 kV station. The assessment was carried out by simulating the network for summer peak 2013 using the demand forecasts presented in Table C-2 in Appendix C and the relevant generator dispatch from Table D-4 in Appendix D. Due to its variable nature, wind generation cannot be relied on to meet the demand at all times. Therefore, to prepare the model for testing the capability for additional demand at Shankill, all wind generation in the north-east i.e., in the vicinity of Shankill, was switched off. Three sets of studies were carried out, with the extra demand in each met by increasing generation in one or other of the Dublin, Northern Ireland and South generation blocks. For each study in turn, the DC loadflow screening analysis was used to add a test demand to Shankill 110 kV station and to vary its size between zero and 100 MW. An equivalent amount of generation was increased in each generation block in order to meet the increased demand at Shankill, which set up incremental power transfers between each generation block and Shankill. The analysis tested all combination-pairs of circuit and

G-3

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2010-2016

generator outages and identified the most restrictive outage combinations and recorded the level of extra demand at which the network went outside standards. The 25 worst combinations were then more closely checked in AC loadflow studies. In this example, regardless of whether the extra demand was supplied from Dublin, Northern Ireland or the south, an outage of the Ratrussan-Shankill 110 kV line during the maintenance outage of the Arva-Shankill No. 2 110 kV line would result in a 10% overload on the Arva-Shankill No. 1 110 kV line when the demand at Shankill was increased by 90 MW. This was therefore the limit of additional demand permissible at Shankill taking account of thermal overload standards. The network was next tested against voltage standards with the 90 MW of additional demand modelled at Shankill. All possible circuit and generator outage combinations were simulated and voltages checked. The analysis showed that the system remained within voltage standards with the additional demand connected at Shankill. As such, the limit of additional demand permissible at Shankill 110 kV station is 90 MW for summer peak 2013.
