345 kV Cluster project System Impact Study

Executive Summary

On June 12, 2009, El Paso Electric (EPE) filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) a request for a waiver of the first-come, first-serve study order and permission to study the current interconnectors in the EPE queue1 in two cluster studies. On August 12, 2009, FERC issued an approval of the request waiver2. Therefore, as per the Interconnection Customer request and the approved FERC waiver, EPE and the Interconnection Customers initiated a Feasibility Study to study the impact of the proposed generation on the EPE transmission system. Upon the completion of the Feasibility study, four Interconnection Customers agreed to proceed further and to be included in the 345 kV Cluster System Impact Study (“345 kV Cluster Study”). This report is the result of the 345 kV Cluster Study to examine the impact of interconnecting four Interconnection Customers totaling 1423 MW to the EPE and Southern New Mexico transmission systems. The following Interconnection Customers are part of the 345 kV Cluster Study:

1. ART320W: 320 MW Wind powered project interconnecting on the Artesia/Eddy County 345 kV bus via a 70-mile 345 kV radial line.

2. AA100W: 60 MW and 40 MW wind powered projects interconnecting to the Amrad-Artesia 345 kV Line 65 miles East of Amrad.

3. NM805W: 805 MW wind powered project interconnecting to the Newman/Corona Station 345 kV bus via a 300-mile radial 345 kV line.

4. HL198W: 198 MW wind powered project interconnecting to the Hidalgo 345 kV substation via a 6-mile radial 345 kV line.

Two interconnector projects ahead of these in the EPE queue were included in the study. These interconnectors are:

1. WA495W: 495 MW wind powered project interconnecting on the West Mesa – Arroyo 345 kV line near Ft. Craig.

2. SL99W: 99 MW wind powered project interconnecting on the Springerville – Luna 345 kV line 30 miles from Luna.

The addition of these Interconnection Customers to the model was required to create the base power flow case for the 345 kV Cluster Study. The generation from these two projects was modeled as being delivered to all entities in the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC), while the generation from the 345 kV Cluster was modeled as being delivered to all WECC entities except EPE and those in New Mexico. Therefore, no specific transmission path

for energy sales has been defined, nor does this study guarantee that a transmission path will be available when the Interconnection Customer is placed in service. All proposed reinforcements were required to eliminate the adverse impact of the 345 kV Cluster generation on the EPE and Southern New Mexico transmission systems. El Paso operational issues, practices and standards were considered for every proposed system upgrade. This Study Area was limited to the area between El Paso, TX and Tucson, AZ. Steady State Results Power flow results showed thermal/overload and voltage criteria violations existing on the system before the Cluster Projects were added. These are mainly in Arizona, outside of the study area. Initial power flow analysis, with the Cluster Projects in service, suggested a need for new 345 kV transmission facilities in order to provide secure and reliable power transfer and delivery. With Cluster Projects in service El Paso system has strong tendency for east to west power transfer. Total of 686.2 miles of 345 kV transmission line reinforcements start with one new line from the Eddy County/Artesia HVDC terminal running through the foothills of the Guadalupe and Sacramento Mountains in New Mexico paralleling an existing 345 kV line and terminating at the EPE AMRAD substation. From the AMRAD 345 kV station, one new line would run parallel to the existing Caliente-AMRAD 345 kV line and White Sands Missile Range to a new Corona Switching Station; existing Newman-Picante and Amrad-Caliente 345 kV lines would loop in and out at Corona. New lines would be built from new Corona station to EPE’s Arroyo and from Arroyo to Afton station. Also, two new lines would be built from Luna to South via Hidalgo station. Furthermore, a new 345/115 kV transformer at Picante station, two new115 kV lines from Picante towards Vista station, 105.4 miles of 115 kV transmission line upgrades and voltage support through the system are part of system upgrades. The power flow analysis, with Cluster Projects in service and proposed 345 kV and 115 kV transmission network upgrades in place, showed that thermal, voltage and power factor at Point at Interconnection criteria violations will not occur on the EPE and Southern New Mexico transmission systems. The power flow analysis was conducted for peak and off peak 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015 cases. Pre-existing and post-project criteria violations still occur in the Arizona area and were not addressed in this study. Short Circuit Results The short circuit analysis was performed without the 345 kV Cluster Study projects modeled and with all other third-party generation projects senior to the 345 kV Cluster Study projects in the study queue in service. This identified the “base case” fault duties of the circuit breakers. The short circuit analysis was performed again with the 345 kV Cluster Study projects and proposed network upgrades modeled in the case. The incremental difference between these two analyses shows the impact of the new Interconnection Customers on the existing current interruption devices in the EPE and Southern New Mexico transmission systems.

Interconnection of 345 kV Cluster Projects, with the recommended reinforcements, will not cause short-circuit currents to exceed the maximum interruption ratings of any existing circuit breaker on the EPE or New Mexico transmission systems. Stability Results System stability was analyzed for contingencies relevant to the Projects POI and Study Area, with and without the 345 kV Cluster Project for peak and off peak base case load conditions. The Interconnectors remained on-line for all system fault simulations, satisfying FERC Order No. 661 Low Voltage Ride Through criteria. The 345 kV Cluster Project addition to the system with proposed transmission reinforcements in place does not pose any concern to Study Area system stability performance. Cost Estimates Good faith cost estimates are presented. The cost estimates are in 2010 dollars (no escalation applied) and are based upon typical construction costs for previously performed similar construction. These costs include all estimated applicable labor and overheads associated with the engineering, design, and construction of these new EPE facilities. These estimates did not include the Generator Interconnection Costs3 for any other Interconnection Customer owned equipment or associated design and engineering except for the Point of Interconnection (POI) interconnection facilities. The estimated total cost for the required upgrades is $929.16 Million. This breaks down to $7.86 Million for the EPE Interconnection Costs4 at the POIs and $921.30 Million for Network Upgrade Costs5. Generator Interconnection Costs have not been estimated as part of this study. Table 0-1 shows the cost breakout per project. Detailed cost estimates are found in Section 8 of this report.

3 Generator Interconnection Costs: cost of facilities paid for by Interconnection Customer and owned and operated by the Interconnection Customer from the generator facilities to the Change of Ownership Point, which is typically at Point of Interconnection substation first dead-end. Not subject to transmission credits. 4 EPE Interconnection Costs: cost of facilities paid for by Interconnection Customer but owned and operated by EPE from the Change of Ownership Point to the Point of Interconnection. Not subject to transmission credits. 5 Network Upgrades Costs: cost of facilities from the Point of Interconnection outward, paid for by the interconnector but owned and operated by EPE. Subject to transmission credits

The estimated time frame for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction of Network Upgrades is 5 years upon notice to proceed with construction from the Interconnection Customers. The estimated time frame for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction is 2 years for any new POI Substations or expansion at existing substations. Therefore it is not feasible to meet the requested Commercial In-Service Dates as requested by the Interconnection Customers. The cost responsibilities associated with these facilities were handled as per current FERC guidelines and El Paso Electric’s FERC approved Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT), specifically defined in sections 1.27 (Network Upgrades), and further defined in Section 1 (Definitions) of Attachment M (Large Generator Interconnection Procedures) and per the FERC study request waiver. Conclusion

The system impact study shows that the proposed 345 kV Cluster projects will have an adverse impact on the EPE and Southern New Mexico transmission systems, unless the Network Upgrades are constructed. Additional reinforcements might be needed in Arizona beyond the South station termination point of the 345 kV Network Upgrades. These will have to be addressed by the Interconnection Customers should they continue with the interconnection process.

1. Introduction

The Interconnection Customers are proposing to construct 1423 MW of generation that will interconnect to the EPE 345 kV transmission system. EPE requires that a System Impact Study (SIS) be performed for generation facilities desiring to connect to the El Paso Electric Transmission System. The proposed in-service dates are between December, 2010 and May, 2015.

1.1 Performance Criteria

WECC and North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) standards, as well as the EPE local reliability criteria standards were used to perform this Study. The EPE local reliability standards can be found in Section 4 of EPE’s FERC Form No. 715. The steady state and stability analysis was performed using the GE PSLF Version 17.8 program.

For steady state pre-contingency solutions, transformer tap phase-shifting transformer angle movement and static VAR device switching was allowed. For each contingency studied, all regulating equipment, transformer controls and switched shunts, were fixed at pre-contingency positions. All flows and voltages within the El Paso, New Mexico and Arizona control area, with base voltages of 0.5 kV and above, were monitored.

Pre-contingency flows on lines and transformers are required to remain at or below the normal rating of the system element, and post-contingency flows on system elements must remain at or below the emergency rating. Flows above 100% of an element’s rating, either pre- or post-contingency, are considered violations.

Post-project voltage criteria violations that either exacerbate or improve an existing pre-project violation are not considered an adverse impact to the system.

The performance criteria utilized in monitoring the study area are shown in Table 1-1.

2. Study Methodology

2.1 Assumptions

The following assumptions are consistent for all study scenarios unless otherwise noted.

This study assumes that all system expansion projects as planned by area utilities by the year under analysis are completed and that any system improvements required by the interconnections senior to the 345 kV Cluster projects are implemented.

This study did not analyze any transmission service from the interconnection point to any specific point on the grid for the interconnections senior to the 345 kV Cluster projects. It will determine Network Upgrades, if necessary, to deliver the proposed 345 kV Cluster projects generation output into the EPE and Southern New Mexico transmission grid.

2.2 Procedure

The analyses in this study included Steady State, Short Circuit and Stability, as stated in 345 kV Cluster Study Statement of Work in Appendix A. A detailed discussion for each is included in this report. A description of the procedures used to complete the analyses is presented below.

2.2.1 Development and Description of Cases

A 100% peak summer load 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015 WECC power flow cases were used and modified as listed below to establish a 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015 benchmark cases without the 345 kV cluster study interconnection projects. In addition, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015 off-peak cases were modified to determine any off-peak violations. These cases were loaded to 60% of the peak cases, with the generation dispatched for the load. The Ft. Craig Phase-Shifter set at 10 MW N-S, 60 MW N-S and 201 MW N-S in the peak and 60 MW N-S and 201 MW N-S in the off-peak cases, with Eddy County DC tie operational flows at 200 MW and 0 MW. In all cases, peak and off-peak, all the Cluster Project generation was load dispatched avoiding specific delivery point issues which have not been determined at the time of the study.

345 kV Cluster Study Cases - 2011 through 2015: The 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015 345 kV Cluster Study cases, as shown in Table 2-1, utilized the benchmark cases, described above, with the following generation in service: The ART320W generation output was modeled at a net output of 320 MW with point of interconnection (POI) at Artesia 345 kV bus (in-service 2011). The HL198W generation output was modeled at a net output of 198 MW with POI 4 miles east of Hidalgo 345 kV substation (99 MW in-service 2013; additional 99 MW in-service 2015). The AA100W generation output was modeled at a net output of 100 MW with POI 65 miles east of Amrad 345 kV substation on Amrad-Artesia 345 kV line (100 MW in-service 2011). The NM805W generation output was modeled at a net output of 805 MW with POI at Newman/Corona 345 kV substation (in-service 2011).

2.2.2 Contingency List

All outages (115 kV and above) were modeled in the subsystem files. The list of contingencies used to perform this study can be found in Appendix C. Based on engineering judgment, these contingencies were selected because they represent a good cross section of potential contingencies that would stress the EPE and PNM’s southern New Mexico and southern Arizona systems. Double contingencies were not analyzed in this study.

3. Steady State Power Flow Analysis

3.1 Base Case Power Flow Evaluation

This section documents overloaded facilities prior to the addition of the Cluster projects. The analysis was performed under both normal and contingency conditions.

3.1.1 Pre-Project N-0 Flow Violations

Power flow study results for the EPE and Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) areas showed that no overloaded transmission facilities are present under non-contingency system conditions without the 345 kV Cluster Study projects connected.

3.1.2 Pre-Project N-1 Flow Violations

Power flow results for contingency scenarios covering PNM or EPE area show that in many of the scenarios overloads existed prior to the addition of the Cluster projects, as shown in Table 3-1through Table 3-4.

3.2 Cluster Case Power Flow Evaluation

This section documents the facilities most directly affected by the Cluster projects and provides a high-level understanding of the Cluster project’s impact on the transmission line and transformer loading in the Study Area. The analysis was performed under both normal and contingency conditions.

3.2.1 Post-Project N-0 Flow Violation

Power flow study results for the EPE and PNM areas showed that addition of 1423 MW of generation from 345 kV Cluster projects to the existing system would cause various facilities to overload under non-contingency system conditions. New 345 kV transmission infrastructure, listed in Table 3-5, is necessary to eliminate 345 kV overloaded transmission facilities that are present under non-contingency system conditions after addition of the 345 kV Cluster Study projects.

345 kV Cluster System Impact Study TRC November 17, 2010

22

The system was unable to solve for contingencies, listed in Table 3-11, in most of the cluster cases. This is an indication that additional reinforcements are needed to address the loss of NM805 MW, relief stress on Neman 345 kV station due to the power transfer push towards the West, and address loss of a Caliente-Amrad 345 kV line.

Note: NM805RS1 and NM805RS2 are two reactor stations located 1/3 and 2/3 along the NM805W POI – NM805W 345 kV line.

3.3 Network Upgrades Recommendations

3.3.1 Post-Project Power Flow System Response Assessments

Analysis showed a need for 3rd circuit between Luna and Hidalgo 345 kV stations. Loss of proposed Ckt.2 causes overload of the existing Ckt.1. Furthermore, the analysis showed two major weaknesses as a result of the Cluster projects addition to the system. One is unsatisfactory steady state power flow system response for the loss of parts of the Artesia - Amrad – Caliente 345 kV corridor. Neither Amrad 345 kV is capable of absorbing approximately 400 MW for the loss of Amrad - Caliente 345 kV line nor Amrad – Artesia – Caliente 345 kV corridor is capable of provide sufficient VAR support for the loss of VAR support at Amrad 345 kV bus. Addition of VAR support at Amrad 345 kV bus does not mitigate identified problems. The other is unsatisfactory system response for the sudden loss of 600+ MW coming from NM805W as well as loss of the Newman – Arroyo 345 kV line or parts of the Newman – Afton – Luna 345 kV corridor. Further network upgrades screening analysis was performed on the cases that showed the most severe flow violations as a result of addition of Cluster projects to the system.

345 kV Cluster System Impact Study TRC November 17, 2010

3.3.2 Amrad – Artesia 345 kV Corridor Existing Amrad – Artesia corridor, single 345 kV line, is suppose to deliver 620 MW to Amrad 345 kV bus from Eddy County HVDC (existing) tie and ART320W and AA100W (proposed) Interconnectors. Analysis show that system cannot solve for the loss of Amrad – Artesia 345 kV (Ckt 1) line or VAR support at Amrad 345 kV. It is not recommended to have significant radial supply of power, in this case 620 MW. Therefore, recommendation is to have two circuits between Amrad and Artesia 345 kV buses, one of them to be looped in and out at AA100W.

3.3.3 Corona Station

After addition of ART320W and AA100W, Amrad – Caliente single 345 kV line delivers approximately 400 MW to Caliente 345 kV station. Amrad 345 kV is not capable of absorbing those 400 MW for the loss of this line. Recommendation is to have two circuits from Amrad delivering those 400MW. New Corona 345 kV station is proposed to be built 39.7 miles from Amrad 345 kV (16.3 miles from Caliente 345 kV) station, separating existing Amrad – Caliente 345 kV line in two parts: Amrad - Corona and Corona - Caliente. There will be two 345 kV circuits (one new to be built) from Amrad 345 kV station ending at Corona station. Existing Newman – Picante 345 kV line will be looped in and out at new Corona station.

3.3.4 Arroyo – Newman – Luna upgrades

Several options were explored to address unsatisfactory system response for the sudden loss of 600+ MW coming from NM805W via Newman 345 kV bus as well as loss of the Newman – Arroyo 345 kV line or parts of the Newman – Afton – Luna 345 kV corridor. In order to find the most cost effective solution, the system response was tested by applying one system upgrade at the time and combination of multiple upgrades. Considered upgrades were:

Arroyo – Afton 345 kV line Afton – Luna 345 kV line Ckt.2 Arroyo – Luna 345 kV line Arroyo – Corona 345 kV line Newman – Corona 345 kV line NM805W POI at Corona instead of Newman 345 kV bus Luna – Hidalgo 345 kV line Ckt.3

Analysis showed four most cost-effective upgrade options as possible solutions, as shown in Table 3-12.

*NRW – new right of way Taking into consideration station upgradeability, length of lines needed to be constructed and ability to get a right of way access the recommended option is Option 4. Screening analysis showed that there almost identical flow violations regardless which option was chosen, as shown in Table 3-13 and Table 3-13. Salopek – Arroyo 115 kV line showed slight overload for option 4 in 2013 but no overloads in 2015 so it was omitted from the list of overloaded facilities.

3.3.5 Caliente 345/115 kV Transformers

Loads fed off of Lane and Vista 115 kV stations are electrically very close to the Caliente 345 kV station causing one of Caliente 345/115 kV transformers to overload for the loss of the other one. Recommendation is to add a 2nd 345/115 kV transformer to Picante 345 kV station, which is fairly new and also electrically very close to the mentioned load centers. Furthermore, two brand new 115 kV 556.5 ACSS lines need to be built from Picante 115 kV station towards Vista 115 kV station. Line 1 – To start at Picante and end at Vista station following existing Picante – Biggs – GR – Vista right of way. This line will be 115 kV line with 556.5 ACSS conductor rated at 262 MVA. Line 2 - To start at Picante station, go all the way to Vista station following existing Picante – Biggs – GR – Vista right of way, and be tapped into the existing Scottsdale -Vista 115 kV line where the line heads south into Scottsdale Substation. This will eliminate the existing Vista – Scottsdale 115 kV line (rated at 117 MVA), and create new Picante – Scottsdale 115 kV line. This new line will be down-rated to 117 MVA because of the rating of the existing Vista – Scottsdale line. Figure 3-3 demonstrates proposed 115 kV Picante – Vista upgrades.

3.3.6 Salopek –Arroyo 115 kV Line

The analysis results show that Salopek – Arroyo 115 kV line overloads (to up to 106% of its emergency rating) for the loss of Las Cruces – Arroyo 115 kV line in all 2012 peak cases. This overload shows again in 2013 but only in the peak case when phase shifting transformer is at 60 MW (north to south) and Eddy County HVDC tie supplying 200 MW to the Artesia 345 kV bus. In 2015 results, Salopek – Arroyo 115 kV line does not show overloads for any of the contingencies. Therefore, Salopek – Arroyo line was omitted from the list of overloaded facilities impacted by Cluster projects.

3.3.7 Lane 115/69 kV Transformer

Analysis showed that Lane 115/69 kV transformer, with normal and emergency rating at 100 MVA, overloads for the loss of Afton – Luna 345 kV line, Pendale – Lane 115 kV line, Sparks – Felipe 69 kV line or proposed Scottsdale – Picante 115 kV line to up to 114% of its emergency/normal rating. Lane 115/69 kV transformer showed overloads regarding the proposed solution for the transformer overloads at Caliente. Recommendation is to reevaluate the emergency rating or add another 115/69 kV transformer.

3.3.8 Newman 345/115 kV Transformer

The analysis results show that after all 2011 transmission reinforcements placed in service Newman 345/115 kV transformer overload is still present in off-peak cases when Eddy County HVDC tie in service. The transformer overloads to 102% of its emergency rating for the loss of Luna – Afton 345 kV line. However, this violation is not present in 2012, 2013 and 2015. Therefore, no further actions were taken to mitigate this violation.

3.3.9 Ft. Craig 345 kV Phase Shifting Transformer

2011 base case analysis showed that the existing Ft. Craig 345 kV phase shifting transformer phase angle displacement limit (+34/-34) cannot maintain 201 MW flow from north to south for the loss of Ft. Craig - VL-TAP 345 kV line; planned replacement with the increased lower limit to -50 degrees would be insufficient since it limits flow to 156 MW north to south for the above mentioned contingency. Addition of Cluster projects requires even lower limit. Recommendation is to install a new phase shifting transformer with the angle limit of -80/ +50.

Appendix D demonstrates results for the 2011 peak base case and 2011 through 2015 peak cases with Cluster projects in service for various contingencies; phase shifter controls 201 MW flow north to south.

3.4 Power Flow Analysis Conclusion

Addition of each of the Cluster Projects was carefully monitored during the power flow analysis. Few options were explored in order to find the most suitable and cost-effective solution to address power flow concerns for 345 kV Cluster Study. Recommended system upgrades that eliminate flow violations caused by addition of 1423 MW to the El Paso System are shown in Figure 3-4 and Table 3-15. Recommended 345 kV and 115 kV transmission line reinforcements are shown in Table 3-17 and Table 3-18, respectively. List of Interconnection Transmission Lines with in service dates is shown in Table 3-15. .

4. POI Power Factor Assessment

The objective was to test if Cluster projects with all proposed facilities in service would be able to maintain power factors at the Point of Interconnection (POI) within the range of 0.95 leading to 0.95 lagging at their respective POI’s as required by FERC 661A order. The results showed that all Cluster projects under proposed reinforcements would satisfy FERC power factor design criteria. The results by study year for each of the Cluster projects can be found in Table 4-1 through Table 4-4.

5. Steady State Voltage Analysis

A bus voltage delta comparison was performed using the contingency results with and without the 345 kV Cluster Study projects implemented. The established voltage Performance Criterion found in Table 1-1 was used for evaluating voltage impacts. If the acceptable bus voltage criteria under contingency conditions were not exceeded, then the bus voltages monitored were found to be acceptable.

In reviewing the Base Cases, a few voltage violations were found under the steady state N-0 condition and were consistent for all base cases 2011-2015. Worst Base (Pre-Cluster) Case voltage violations were documented in Table 5-1. After reviewing the Post- Cluster Project Cases, no additional N-0 voltage violations were found, while voltage levels at the buses previously identified N-0 pre-project voltage violations stayed very close to or were improved over the pre-project cases values, as shown in Table 5-1.

For contingency (N-1) conditions with the 345 kV Cluster Study projects and transmission reinforcements implemented, bus voltages were monitored for all peak and off peak cases 2011-15. The results show that all bus voltages remained within Criteria EXCEPT for:

Elephant Butte 115 kV bus for the loss of San Juan – Rio Puerco 345 kV line. Recommendation is to install 15 MVAR cap.

Various buses (as shown in Table 5-2) for the partial or entire loss of generation at NM805W, ART320W or LEF; voltages exceeded the acceptable limit specified in Table 1-1. List of affected buses and recommendations to eliminate voltage violations caused by the loss of generation are showed in Table 5-2 through Table 5-4. Necessary transmission reinforcements to maintain system voltage performance within acceptable ranges is shown in Table 5-5.

Addition of ART320W causes low voltages at Hidalgo and Greenlee. Therefore, an SVD at Hidalgo 345 kV station is needed. Furthermore, temporary VAR support addition of 50 MVARs at Amrad 345 kV station might be needed if ART320W in service, Eddy County HVDC off and Corona station (Corona-Amrad Ckt. 1&2) NOT built. It is to be expected that voltages at some points along the Corona – NM805W 345 kV line to reach or go slightly above 1.05 p.u. due to extremely long length of the Corona – NM805W line (300 + miles). All the equipment should be carefully selected and to be accounted for such possibilities.

AA100W and ART320W 345 kV station equipment is expected to experience voltages close to 1.05 p.u. since Artesia 345 kV station voltage level is around 1.05 p.u. For all Cluster Projects, it is recommended to keep scheduled voltages on the GSUs low side at 1.0 p.u. Voltage Analysis Conclusions Recommended transmission system reinforcements for the 345 kV Cluster Project resulted in EPE/Cluster Study area transmission network voltage levels within Criteria and/or without significant changes from the pre-project voltage levels.

6. Short-Circuit Analysis

The interconnection of new generating units into a transmission system increases the fault current contribution into the system. Therefore, as part of this “345 kV Cluster SIS”, (SIS) a short circuit analysis was performed to determine if the additional fault current contribution from the new Interconnection Customers into the EPE transmission system will cause any of EPE’s or relevant neighboring transmission system’s existing substation circuit breakers to exceed their interrupting capability ratings.

6.1 Short Circuit Analysis Modeling

Two cases were developed to perform this analysis, one with and one without the “345 kV Cluster Generation”. Any planned or proposed third party generation listed in EPE’s study queue ahead of the 345 kV Cluster Generation were also modeled in the two cases.

A study case that combines projects with interconnection points in the same vicinity within the EPE transmission system that are listed in the EPE Generation Interconnection queue was developed. The SIS case also contains the 345 kV and 115 kV transmission lines and transformers of the proposed system reinforcements which are described below in Table 6-1 through Table 6-4. The modeling data of the Cluster Generation is described in Table 6-5.

6.2 Short Circuit Analysis Procedure

The initial short circuit analysis was performed without the 345 kV Cluster Generation projects modeled and with all other third-party generation projects ahead of the 345 kV Cluster Generation projects in the study queue in service. This identified the “base case” fault duties of the circuit breakers. The short circuit analysis was performed again with the 345 kV Cluster Generation projects actively modeled in the case.

Three phase, two phase, and single-phase line-to-ground faults were simulated at select buses in the El Paso Electric Co. System with terminal voltages at 69 kV and above. The difference between the fault current values in the two cases shows the impact of the Cluster generation on the existing circuit breakers in the EPE system.

Fault currents were monitored at select buses of the EPE Transmission System and relevant buses of the nearby local transmission systems. The resulting fault currents were then compared to the circuit breaker interruption ratings of the breakers at each of the substations.

6.3 Results of the Short Circuit Analysis

The highest short circuit fault currents for the selected buses monitored for impacts are shown below in Table 6-6.

6.4 Short Circuit Analysis Conclusions

The results of this short circuit study show that the maximum fault current with the Cluster Study projects active do not exceed the breaker interrupting capability of any breaker in the EPE or neighboring transmission system. Therefore no replacement of existing circuit breakers on the EPE transmission systems will be required.

7. Stability Analysis

Stability analysis was performed for peak and off-peak load conditions to determine the impact of the 345 kV Cluster Project on the EPE Transmission System. This analysis evaluated the performance of the system for selected contingencies, provided by EPE, and addressed issues including, but not limited to, transient stability, dynamic stability (i.e. damping) and low voltage ride through. The simulations were conducted with the PSLF power flow and dynamic simulation software, General Electric, Inc. PSLF load flow software package, Version 17.8. Dynamic stability simulations were conducted on peak and off-peak load conditions with the Cluster projects units off and on at full capacity.

7.1 Dynamics Modeling

EPE provided a list of contingencies along with the base cases and dynamic file data base for this part of the study. The Interconnection Customers provided the detailed model data sheets or the parameters to be used. If the parameters were not provided, typical values were then used. Table 7-1 below shows the models used.

Four base cases were used to simulate Peak and Off-Peak conditions and to simulate the time frame for Commercial In-Service Dates (CID). These were modified to include the 345 kV Cluster generation projects and are the same cases that were used for the Steady State Analysis. The analysis compares the system fault simulations before and after the Cluster generation projects are added. The bases cases used are found in Table 7-2.

7.2 NM805W Initial Issues

The stability analysis showed distinct wave form distortion that was consistent for N-0 or non-disturbance conditions. Figure 7-1 documents the distortion.

Figure 7-1: EPE 345 kV Bus Voltages for Non-Disturbance 20 Second Start

All cluster generation was then load netted and then brought back to the system one project at a time to determine the project responsible for this distortion.

It was determined the generation for NM805W was responsible for the distortion. A number of mitigations were studied and the only solution that will provide satisfactory results is to add second 300-mile 345 kV line from the NM805W Project Site to the POI at Corona. The reason for the distortion is that a resonant RLC circuit is setup by the 300-mile transmission line and the most effective AC solution to correct this is to reduce

Page 59: SYSTEM IMPACT STUDY FINAL REPORT - El Paso Electric

345 kV Cluster System Impact Study TRC November 17, 2010

53

the impedance between the NM805W project and the POI. Therefore a second line is added. Figure 7-2 documents the EPE 345 kV bus voltages after the second 345 kV line added. Because of the long length of interconnection transmission lines at Corona, an SVC or STATCOM will be required to mitigate voltage violations due to contingencies. Also the SVC/STACOMS at the two reactor stations need to be sized at +200/-300 MVAR.

Figure 7-2: EPE 345 kV Bus Voltages for Non-Disturbance 20 Second Start After 2nd NM805W- Corona 345 kV Transmission Line

Another solution, that was not studied, is to make the transmission line from NM805W to Corona an HVDC transmission line. This will require an HVDC converter station and the POI and at the NM805W project site. HVDC solution would not only be better technical solution but it might make more economical sense for the Interconnection Customer.

Loss of all the generation whether to a fault or sudden drop in wind speed was carefully studied. Figure 7-3 and Figure 7-4 show the 345 kV bus frequencies and local EPE generator angles for a fault at the proposed Corona Switching Station, clearing in 4 cycles with a trip of both NM805W 345 kV lines. Running the PSLF Worst Case Analysis module on these faults also show that there are not any criteria violations.

7.3 Stability Analysis Results

System stability was analyzed for seventy-one contingencies, relevant to the Projects POI and Study Area, with and without the 345 kV Cluster Project for peak and off peak base case load conditions. Table 7-3 lists the contingencies studied as well as the results of being stable or unstable. The results show that the area remains stable for all contingencies and for all cases listed in Table 7-3.

The stability plots of these faults can be found in Appendix F. Worst Condition Analysis did not reveal any frequency or voltage criteria violations as the result of the Cluster generation. This output can be found in Appendix E

7.4 Low Voltage Ride Through Analysis

All wind generating plants subject to FERC Order No. 661 must meet the following Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) criteria: Wind generating plants are required to remain in-service during three-phase

faults with normal clearing (which is a time period of approximately 4-9 cycles) and single line to ground faults with delayed clearing, and subsequent post-fault voltage recovery to pre-fault voltage unless clearing the fault effectively disconnects the generator from the system. The clearing time requirement for a three-phase fault will be specific to the wind generating plant substation location, as determined and documented by the Transmission Owner for the Transmission District to which the wind generating plant will be interconnected. The maximum clearing time the wind generating plant shall be required to withstand for a three-phase fault shall be 9 cycles, after which, if the fault remains following the location-specific normal clearing time for three-phase faults, the wind generating plant may disconnect from the transmission system. A wind generating plant shall remain interconnected during such a fault on the transmission system for a voltage level as low as zero volts, as measured at the high voltage side of the wind GSU.

This requirement does not apply to faults that would occur between the wind generator terminals and the high side of the GSU.

Wind generating plants may be tripped after the fault period if this action is intended as part of a special protection system.

Wind generating plants may meet the LVRT requirements of this standard by the performance of the generators, or, by installing additional equipment (e.g., Static Var Compensator) within the wind generating plant, or, by a combination of generator performance and additional equipment.

Existing individual generator units that are, or have been, interconnected to the network at the same location at the effective date of the FERC Order No. 661 Appendix G, LVRT Standard, are exempt from meeting the FERC Order No. 661 Appendix G, LVRT Standard, for the remaining life of the existing generation equipment. Existing individual generator units that are replaced are required to meet FERC Order No. 661 Appendix G LVRT Standard.

The fault clearing times used in the stability analysis include relay operating time, breaker operating time, channel time, and breaker failure time, as necessary.

7.4.1 LVRT Results

The ability of the Cluster generation to stay on-line due to contingencies at the Cluster generation POI is a requirement of both the FERC and EPE. From the contingency list in Table 7-3, faults were simulated at all POI’s. The results show that all Cluster Generation remain on-line for faults at their respective POI’s.

7.5 Stability Analysis Conclusion

The study area remains stable and well damped for all the contingencies analyzed. The Cluster Generation remains on-line for all system fault simulations, satisfying FERC Order No. 661 Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) criteria.

The 345 kV Cluster Project addition to the system with proposed transmission reinforcements in place does not pose any concern to system stability performance.

8. Cost Estimates

Good faith cost estimates have been determined. The cost estimates are in 2010 dollars (no escalation applied) and are based upon typical construction costs for previously performed similar construction. These estimated costs include all applicable labor and overheads associated with the engineering, design, and construction of these new facilities. These estimates did not include the cost for any other Interconnection Customer owned equipment or associated design and engineering except for those located at the POI’s.

The estimated total cost for the required upgrades is $929.14 Million. This breaks down to $7.86 Million for the EPE Interconnection Cost6 and $921.30 Million for Network Upgrades Cost7. The Generator Interconnection Cost8 estimates are not included. Figure 8-1 shows the cost per element.

The estimated time frame for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction of Network Upgrades is 5 years upon notice to proceed with construction from the Interconnection Customers. The estimated time frame for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction is 2 years for the POI Substations or expansion at existing substations. Therefore; it is not possible to meet the requested Commercial In-Service Dates as requested by the interconnection customers. Appendix H shows the project schedules of all projects. It is assumed that all projects for Network upgrades will start at the same time. Any sequencing will delay the overall completion date. A time frame for permitting all projects assumed best case scenarios. Should the NEPA process be delayed on any section, this will also delay the final completion date.

At this time it is not possible to meet the requested 2011 In-service dates based upon typical times frames allowed in the EPE OATT. Other means of accelerating these projects will have to be discussed during the Facility Study Process. Therefore it is not feasible for Network Upgrades to meet the requested in-service of the Cluster Study Interconnection Customers.

The cost responsibilities associated with these facilities shall be handled as per current FERC guidelines, EPE OATT, and the FERC Waiver.

Tables and one-line diagrams in this section of the report show the 345 kV Cluster Study interconnection projects, their POI, associated EPE Interconnection facilities, Network Upgrades, and estimated costs.

Table 8-2 summarize the costs allocated for each interconnection project and element, respectively. The responsibilities for Network Upgrades are assigned based upon the MW pro rata share of the total 1423 MW injected onto the system. For example if an Interconnection Customer is proposing a 100 MW project, the Interconnection Customer’s Network Upgrades cost will be ratio of 100/1423 times the total cost of Network Upgrades. Table 8-3 through Table 8-16 detail the individual project costs for Network Upgrades.

General Cost Assumptions

1. The cost estimates provided are good faith “scoping estimates”.

2. Estimates do not include land or permitting.

3. Interconnection Customer to secure POI site and transfer ownership to EPE.

4. Permitting time frames are not included.

5. Estimates are in 2010 Dollars.

6. Where applicable, the Interconnection Customers are responsible for funding and construction of all transmission facilities from the proposed generator substation to the Points of Interconnection.

7. The Interconnection Customer will supply enough transmission conductor from their last structure outside the POI substation for Termination into the POI substation bus.

8. Interconnection Customers are responsible for Engineering, Procurement, and

Construction for all and any FACTs and other transmission compensation devices at their generation site or along their long interconnecting transmission lines to just outside the POI sites.

9. Special outages will be required for Network Upgrade installation at Artesia/Eddy

County, Luna, Hidalgo and South.

10. 345 kV Transmission lines from Artesia to Amrad to Corona to Newman follow existing line corridors and parallel the existing lines.

11. Costs do not include any requirements beyond South 345 kV station.

12. All transmission line reconductoring is assuming all existing structures are in

good condition and able to support the new conductors.

9. Disclaimer

If any of the project data provided by Interconnection Customers and used in this study varies significantly from the actual data once the 345 kV Cluster generation equipment is installed, the results from this study will need to be verified with the actual data at the Project Interconnection Customer's expense. Additionally, any change in the generation in EPE’s Interconnection Queue that is senior to the 345 kV Cluster Generation may require a re-evaluation of this Study.

10. Conclusions

This 345 kV Cluster Study consisting of Steady State, Short Circuit and Stability Analyses for a net 1423 MW of generation interconnecting on the EPE and Southern New Mexico transmission systems has determined that the Cluster Project will have an adverse, or negative, impact on the EPE and Southern New Mexico transmission systems unless proposed Network Upgrades are constructed. The estimated cost for integrating the 345 kV Cluster Project onto the EPE and Southern New Mexico transmission systems is $935.30 Million and the good faith estimate of the time frame to Engineer, Procure, and Construct all facilities is 5 years. Therefore it is not feasible to complete the Network Upgrades Required for Delivery before the requested in-service dates.

EPE W/O# TS7600201048 TRC Project # 177451 1. Use PSLF to perform load flow analyses for a System Impact Study (as specified under EPE’s

OATT) on the EPE and affected utilities in the WECC transmission system (“System”) as follows:

1.1. Base case scenarios: 1.1.1. Develop 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015, base case power flows for each year that will

be studied. Base cases will include heavy (100% peak load) and light load (60% of peak load) scenarios.

1.1.2. Base case scenarios will incorporate variations in the EPE system such as Ft. Craig

phase shifter settings (60 MW N-S, 10 MW N-S , 201 MW N-S for Peak Cases, 201 MW N-S, 60 MW N-S for Off-Peak), Eddy County DC tie operational flows (200 MW or 0 MW), local generator and third party generator configurations. A list of base case scenarios are as follows in Table 1:

100 North Stanton Street El Paso, Texas 79901 (915) 543-5776

June 12, 2009 The Honorable Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 888 First Street, NE Washington, DC 20426 Re: El Paso Electric Company, Docket No. ER09-______

Request for Waiver Authorization Pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal Power Act

Dear Secretary Bose:

Pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal Power Act,1 El Paso Electric Company (“EE”) respectfully requests waiver of the first-come, first-served study order for interconnection requests currently in its queue to allow for two study clusters. A waiver of this type will allow EE to reduce the time required for the study of projects currently in the queue in a manner that will permit it to timely satisfy the State of New Mexico’s diversified renewables portfolio requirement. EE is also working on changes to its Open Access Transmission Tariff (“OATT”) to improve queue processing in favor of a more workable and efficient long-term alternative. This waiver request is the first step in the process and is necessary to allow EE to take immediate action so that it may comply with New Mexico law. EE offers it as the initial phase towards resolution of its queue issues, but one that is intended to be implemented independently from future implementation of a revised tariff.2 At present, EE’s interconnection queue consists of generators requesting the interconnection of almost 5,000 MW of resources, while EE’s total peak load is less than one-third that amount (approximately 1,500 MW).3

1 16 U.S.C. § 824d.

2 The cluster studies proposed here are to apply to existing interconnection requests in the queue as of the date of this filing. Future interconnection requests are to be processed pursuant to the terms of EE’s OATT. As stated above, EE is in the process of developing revised queue-related tariff provisions. 3 EE’s current generator interconnection queue is posted online at www.epelectric.com, “Transmission,” “Interconnection Requests.”

I. APPLICANT

EE is a vertically integrated electric utility whose primary business is serving native load in far west Texas and southern New Mexico, providing retail electric service to about 350,000 customers in an area of approximately 10,000 square miles. EE is a publicly traded company that is directly owned by its shareholders. It has no parent, subsidiary or affiliate engaged in the energy sector. EE employs approximately 1,000 people who are involved in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity at retail and wholesale. EE owns distribution facilities through which it provides service to its customers at retail rates and owns transmission facilities over which it offers service under its OATT.

II. STATE-IMPOSED RENEWABLE ENERGY REQUIREMENTS

The State of New Mexico has enacted laws and regulations setting forth minimum requirements for renewable energy.4

III. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WAIVER

Utilities are required to supply increasing percentages of their retail energy sales through a diversified portfolio of renewable energy resources (through a state procurement process). EE is acting under such rules and regulations currently. Effective January 2011, the minimum percentage tiers increase such that 10 percent of utilities’ retail energy sales must come from renewable energy resources, with solar energy comprising at least 20 percent of the renewable mix. EE has conducted a procurement process for its January 2011 renewable obligation, all within the parameters approved by the state. If EE were to study the project chosen and approved through the New Mexico process to satisfy EE’s January 2011 solar requirement within its tariff’s currently-effective first-come, first-served interconnection study approach, the January 2011 deadline will not be met. It is this January 2011 deadline that has triggered EE to seek a waiver from the first-come, first-served processing order set forth in its tariff. EE also is looking at ways it can secure more long-term improvements in its queue processing and management through future tariff changes. The instant filing does not seek any tariff revisions at this time.

EE seeks waiver of the provisions of its Large Generator Interconnection Procedures (LGIP) and associated study agreements5

4 New Mexico Renewable Energy Act (NMSA 1978, Section 62-16-1 et seq), and the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission’s Rule 572, “Renewable Energy as a Source of Electricity” (NMAC 17.9.572).

to study the projects currently in its queue by means of a cluster approach, as follows:

5 EE’s LGIP and associated agreements are found in Attachment M of its OATT. Pursuant to Section 4.1 of EE’s LGIP, the queue position of each interconnection request is to be used to determine the order of performing interconnection studies. Interconnection studies consist of interconnection feasibility studies, interconnection system impact studies and interconnection facility studies. The instant waiver request is a request to waive the “first-come first-served” study order under the tariff. Although EE’s LGIP contains clustering provisions (at Section 4.2) and permits EE to allocate the cost of common upgrades for clustered interconnection studies (at Section 4.1), the tariff does not provide for the type of cluster studies proposed here. EE’s proposed clusters are based upon the nature of the facilities on which interconnection is sought, and is not based upon Queue Position and “Queue Cluster Windows” within the meaning of EE’s currently-effective LGIP. Accordingly, tariff waiver authorization is sought to permit EE to study its interconnection requests within the two types of clusters identified here, and to allocate the

Page 108: SYSTEM IMPACT STUDY FINAL REPORT - El Paso Electric

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission P a g e | 3

• Projects seeking interconnection on EE facilities will be studied in one of two clusters,

based on the nature of the EE facilities on which the interconnection is sought: Projects seeking to interconnect on EE’s local system of 115 kV will be studied separately from projects seeking to interconnect on EE’s 345 kV system. This division is practical, efficient, and equitable because the interconnection of projects to EE’s local 115 kV system and the interconnection of projects to EE’s 345 kV transmission have little, if any, impact on one another. Thus, the studies for both clusters will begin at the same time.

• Because projects on EE’s 345 kV system are targeting markets outside of EE’s service

territory (for example, Arizona and California to the west, Colorado to the north), EE will perform the interconnection studies for this cluster in an east-to-west direction, starting with the eastern-most projects (i.e., those in the Amrad-Eddy area), then layering on top the projects to the immediate west (i.e., those in the WestMesa-Arroyo area), then the projects to the far west (i.e., those in the Luna-Hildalgo area). In proceeding in this east-to-west direction, EE will be able to more effectively identify the system impacts of the projects in this cluster because EE’s analysis will move in the same direction as the anticipated power flow from such resources.

• In performing the cluster studies, EE will study all projects in each cluster solely for Network Resource Interconnection Service, and requests that the Commission grant a waiver of the provisions of its LGIP that would otherwise require EE to “concurrently study” each interconnection request for Energy Resource Interconnection Service, upon request, up to the point when an Interconnection Facility Study Agreement is executed. An Energy Resource Interconnection Service study would be meaningless under the circumstances present, where the resources in the queue for interconnection so far surpass the total load on the system (in EE’s case, by over 300 percent). In order for a generator in a cluster to make a meaningful decision on whether to proceed with a project based on the results of the cluster studies, the resource will need to be studied for Network Resource Interconnection Service. Indeed, all projects currently in the queue have requested that EE perform a Network Resource Interconnection Service study.

• Projects subject to the clusters will be accorded a one-time election to affirmatively opt out of the cluster. The election date will be 10 Business Days6 following Commission approval of the instant waiver request.7

cost of common upgrades for such clustered studies. As part of the cluster studies proposed here, EE will not perform optional studies under Section 10 of the LGIP.

For purposes of this waiver, any generator that opts out will retain its queue ranking relative to any other generators that opt out of the

6 “Business Days” as defined in EE’s LGIP. 7 Specifically, the 10 Business Day period will begin to run when EE notifies its Interconnection Customers of Commission approval. Such notification will be made by email and/or fax. This will avoid any complications from the potential that an Interconnection Customer may not learn of the Commission’s issuance until after the 10 Business Day period has lapsed.

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission P a g e | 4

clusters, and will be studied upon completion of the cluster studies. For example, if generators holding queue positions of 5, 10 and 15 opt out of the clusters, they will be studied after the clusters, but will retain their relationship relative to each other such that the generator at queue position 5 will be studied before the generators at queue positions 10 and 15. To be clear, however, by extending an opt-out right under the instant proposal, EE is not committing to immunize such generators from changes to queue processing in the future that may stem from the possible application of future tariff changes.

• Projects for which EE has already completed an Interconnection Feasibility Study for the

resource will continue to be processed according to EE’s OATT, and not clustered under this waiver request. Such projects are far enough along in the study process that to cluster them at this stage would not serve the goal of improving the timeliness and efficiency of the queue process. In implementing this approach, EE is taking into account the Commission’s stated desire to see transmission providers appropriately address differences between existing interconnection requests that are still at an early stage in the interconnection process versus those that are in later stages of the process.8

In making this clustering request, EE is mindful of the Commission’s eagerness to see transmission providers look for ways to address long queues and the lengthy processing times that they create, particularly with the unprecedented demand for new types of generation (namely, renewable generation) and the added stress that such resources have placed on interconnection queues. Interconnection Queuing Practices, 122 FERC ¶ 61,252 at PP 3, 5 (2008). As the Commission as previously stated in approving queue waiver requests, “[W]here good cause for a waiver of limited scope exists, there are no undesirable consequences, and the resultant benefits to customers are evident, we have found that a one-time waiver is appropriate.” California Independent System Operator, 118 FERC ¶61,226 at P 24 (2007), clarified, 120 FERC ¶ 61,180 (2007) (the “Tehachap” case). See also California Independent System Operator, 124 FERC ¶ 61,031 (2008), reh’g denied, 124 FERC ¶ 61,293 at PP 18-21 (2008) (where FERC makes clear that to meet the Tehachap standard of “no undesirable consequences,” the transmission provider need not show that each individual generator in the queue will not experience delay or potential harm as a result of a cluster approach, recognizing that any form of line drawing “would likely satisfy some customers at the expense of others,” and emphasizing that the overriding goal is to address queue backlog through fair criteria.) Good cause exists to grant EE’s waiver request under the circumstances present. EE has developed this one-time waiver request with the standards of Tehachap in mind. There are no undesirable consequences within the meaning of Tehachap; the resultant benefits to customers are evident; and the waiver also serves the important goal of permitting a timely satisfaction of state-imposed diversified renewables portfolio requirements. Further, EE’s proposed clusters are fair and equitable, and are developed based on non-discriminatory factors. The clusters provide

8 Interconnection Queuing Practices, 122 FERC ¶ 61,252 at P 11(2008), and California Independent System Operator, 124 FERC ¶ 61,031 at P 20 (2008) (finding that the CAISO appropriately identified a category of interconnection requests that can be processed efficiently under its existing LGIP process, while waiving the tariff’s queue management process for other earlier-stage interconnection requests).

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission P a g e | 5

for an opportunity for projects in the queue to be processed beginning immediately, within one of two cluster groups, with the goal of improving efficiency and processing time. In addition, the proposal’s protection against undue discrimination is enhanced through the opt-out right provided to all. In short, the cluster proposal satisfies the just and reasonable under Section 205 of the FPA because it would create results that are just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory, while also serving important Commission policy goals intended to advance the public interest overall.
