Observations using cmpldw
WECC MVWG Meeting
June 2015

Agenda
• Observations using cmpldw in seasonal studies
• Review of fault event data as compared to simulation data using motorw and cmpldw load representation
3
Observations
• Idaho Power is observing significant load tripping in seasonal studies that include cmpldw representation
– 2015 Light Summer 50 MW (3-PH Fault at MPSN)
13 MW (SLG Fault at MPSN)
– 2015 Heavy Summer 286 MW (3-PH Faults at HMWY)
13 MW (SLG Faults at HMWY)
– 2015 Heavy Summer 195 MW (3-PH Faults at OBPR)
146 MW (3-PH Faults at ONTO)
3 MW (SLG Faults at OBPR)
• cmpldw motor trip pickup level and time delay model parameters appear to be very sensitive and may be too conservative

Event #1 Area Load and ID-NW Flow
Fault LocationPld shed cmpldw
110mi from Hemingway 500kV 15.6 MW
• Event #1 PI data does not clearly indicate 15MW of load was tripped
• Fault is fairly remote from load

• Event #2 PI data does not clearly indicate load was tripped
• Fault is close to load

Voltage Recovery at ONTO 230kV Buscmpldw with tripping enabled

Voltage Recovery at ONTO 230kV Buscmpldw with tripping blocked

Conclusions
• Event #1 is too remote from load to make an accurate determination if load loss occurred
• Event #2 does not provide clear indication that load was tripped during fault
• cmpldw motor trip pickup level and time delay are likely too sensitive
• blocking tripping of cmpldw using 15hs4 records provided best match
