Generation Background – Change from last forum
Four new wind farms connected to the system (Kilgallioch, Glen App, Airies, Ewe Hill and other smallerembedded generation)
Total generation (Connected and Contracted) in the whole of South West Scotland is around 2900MW
Not a significant change in the consented position and in excess of 1GW remains unconsented

Creating Board C at New Cumnock including two new275/132kV 240 MVA transformer SGT1C & SGT2C
(TORI 158)
Creating Board B at New Cumnock including one new275/132kV 240 MVA transformer SGT2B
(TORI 213)
Creating a new 132kV GIS substation at Glenglass
(TORI 173)
Various Load Management Schemes to maximiseutilisation of the system
(TORI 148, TORI 149, TORI 176, TORI 177, TORI 186, ..)
Creating a new circuit North of Kendoon
(TORI 211)
Extending the 132kV network from Margree Teeto Glenlee and Tongland (KTR Project)
Despite all these reinforcements the system isat full capacity against contracted position

Future System – Challenges
System uncertainties are still significant and the contracted position continuously changing
The proposed future system does not provide sufficient transmission capacity for the contractedgeneration
The proposed future system is not compliant with the NETS-SQSS against the contracted position
Derogation against non-compliant parts of the network will be sought from Ofgem
Non-build solutions, such as LMS/ANM systems, will be progressed to allow maximum utilisation ofthe system
NGET with the support of SPT will ensure developers are not commercially disadvantaged
www.spenergynetworks.co.uk 9SWS Developer Forum 8th June 2017
Baseline system developments in SWS are progressing as originally designed and as per ourRIIO T1 plans.
Further reinforcements are planned at New Cumnock, Glenglass, Kilmarnock South andDumfries and Galloway to provide further transmission capacity
Against a contracted position the system in non-compliant and derogations will be requested
Reinforcement options will continuously be assessed to ensure the system is developed in acoordinated manner

Harmonic VoltageDistortion
8 June 2017
www.spenergynetworks.co.uk 55SWS Developer Forum 8th June 2017
Introduction
• Harmonic compliance can be a problem for Users and TO’s
• In this presentation we’ll look at:
• Harmonic voltage distortion in networks and SWS
• Resonance
• Why are harmonics a problem?
• Existing compliance approach
• Issues with existing approach
• Possible alternative for SWS
Harmonic Voltage Distortion in SWS
www.spenergynetworks.co.uk 56SWS Developer Forum 8th June 2017
What affects the harmonics at the Connection Point?
Harmonic Voltage Distortion in Networks
1. Transmission network
2. Background harmonics
3. Windfarm network
4. Harmonics generated bywindfarm
These change constantly
More issues as renewables increase

• Mainly power electronic converters and devices
• HVDC converters
• Mobile phone chargers
• Windfarms
• Transformer magnetisation
• Also
• Arc furnaces
• Fluorescent lighting
Where do harmonics come from?
Why are there background harmonics?
Harmonic Voltage Distortion in Networks
www.spenergynetworks.co.uk 58SWS Developer Forum 8th June 2017
Harmonic Resonance
• Cause of many compliance issues
• Transmission and windfarmnetworks work together
• Amplification of background harmonics
• More problems in networks that
• are weaker
• use more cable
• Studies show high resonance riskin SWS network
Harmonic Voltage Distortion in Networks
www.spenergynetworks.co.uk 59SWS Developer Forum 8th June 2017
Why don’t we just ignore harmonics?
• Increasing risk of interference ordisturbance
• Network and User equipment
• Heating (losses)
• Life Reduction
• Communication
• Zero-crossing detection
• Noise
Harmonic Voltage Distortion in Networks
www.spenergynetworks.co.uk 60SWS Developer Forum 8th June 2017
Existing Approach
• The User is responsible for harmonic compliance
• Network studies
• Network data
• Background measurements from TO
• Marginal non-compliance can be resolved bymeasurement
• Measurements to confirm compliance
Harmonic Compliance
www.spenergynetworks.co.uk 61SWS Developer Forum 8th June 2017
Issues with Existing Approach 1
• Network does not exist – background measurements notavailable
• High level of uncertainty around final network design
• Windfarm design and harmonic emissions not known
• Data confidentiality
• Engineering Recommendation G5/4 sequential process
• How to apportion headroom fairly?
Harmonic Compliance

Issues with Existing Approach 2
• Windfarm non-compliance risk
• Potential impact on reactive power range
• Inefficient mitigation
• Filter redundancy
• Mitigation costs may not be distributed equitably between Users

Harmonic Compliance

We’ve had some ideas
• NIA project to consider a standard 33kV harmonic filter design
• Can be included in connection offer
• Not the most efficient solution
• Report and paper available
• SWS harmonic study is in progress
• Economic and efficient solution for the whole area?
• Considers uncertainties
• Considers evolving network
Harmonic Compliance Problems

Possible Alternative for SWS
• SPEN designs and installs harmonic mitigation
• Windfarms can connect without harmonic compliancerequirements if
• Harmonic currents are not unusually high
• Total cable capacitance is within a certain range
• Commercial framework?
• Initial cost estimate
• £6k – £9k/MW

Nearly done…
• Next Steps
• Complete SWS studies and share results
• Improve cost estimate
• Commercial arrangements
• Your views on SPEN designing and installing harmonic filtersin SWS?
• Any questions on harmonics?
