Alternative 1: Add a new point of delivery (POD) substation, and connect the new POD to the existing [Voltage Class, e.g. 138] kV transmission line [Line name] via an in/out connection configuration.
Alternative 2: Add a new point of delivery (POD) substation, and connect the new POD to the existing [Voltage Class, e.g. 138] kV transmission line [Line name] via a T-tap connection configuration.
Alternative 3: Add a new point of delivery (POD) substation, and connect the new POD to the existing [Voltage Class, e.g. 138] transmission line [Line name] via a radial connection configuration to the existing [substation name and number].
Alternative 4: Upgrade the capacity at the existing [Substation Name and number] substation and shift load to neighboring [Substation Name and number] substation.
Connection alternatives selected for further examinationPlease address which Alternatives are selected for this Project and state the rationale for ruling out the rest of the Alternatives.
Refer to the DFO’s Distribution Deficiency Report (DDR) Address Market Participant (MP)’s preference (including cost estimates) Specify Transmission Facility Owners (TFOs)’s position on any possible limitation/constraints that
would result in ruling out a specific alternative. Below is an example of the write up:[Alternative 1 and Alternative 2 were selected for further study. Both Alternative 3 and Alternative 4 would require greater transmission development for no incremental benefit and were not selected for further study.]
Results of the post-Project studiesPlease compare study results between selected Alternatives under each study scenario. The following is a summary of the results of the post-Project studies.

Category B (N-G-1 [ for Load Addition Projects ] or N-1 [ for Generation Addition Projects – Please choose only one depending on the project type ]) conditions Please provide summary of the results for the post-Project Category B scenario. Below are examples of the write up:[Marginal thermal violations on the 144 kV line 7L50 from Battle River 757S to Buffalo Creek 726S were observed following the 144 kV line 7L53 contingency from Bonnyville 700S to Irish Creek 706S. This line has clearance issues and continuous flow above the stated ratings cannot be sustained; however, since the line loading is less than 100.8% this will be managed by real time operational practices.
or
Voltage criteria violations were observed following the loss of the transmission line designated as 7L228. The violations were observed at the Kakwa Ridge 857S, HR Milner 740S, Dome Cutbank 810S and Thornton 2091S substations. To mitigate these violations, it would require a

remedial action scheme (RAS) to trip the new Thornton 2091S substation. Following the 7L228 contingency, the load served by the Thornton 2091S substation would be left unserved. Following the loss of 7L40 (Little Smoky 813S to Simonette 733S) a minor post-transient deviation of 10.5% the Simonette 733S POD bus was noted; this is marginally higher than the 10% guideline. The TFO and DFO have confirmed that such marginal voltage deviation does not impose any operational restriction.]
Mitigation Strategy and Sensitivity Analysis [as required] Please describe how to mitigate the identified Reliability Criterial violations in these pre- and post-Project studies.
Alternative SelectedThis section will provide which Alternative is preferred based on performed studies. Please provide how the study results impacted on the Alternative selections. Below is an example of the write up:Alternative [State selected Alternative #, e.g., 2] was selected as the preferred alternative since….. [Provide solid reasons why this Alternative was selected]
RecommendationThis section will provide the recommendation of this project including selected Alternative, new equipment and mitigation measure (if required). Below is an example of the write up:[The recommended alternative to connect the Facilities is Alternative 2, building the new 144/6.9 kV POD substation Vincent 2019S. The Project will include:
Tapping the 144 kV line 7L65 and building 0.15 km of 144 kV line to connect the new Vincent 2019S POD substation.
Installing one 20/26.6/33.3 MVA, 144 kV to 6.9 kV LTC transformer, one 144 kV transformer breaker, and associated equipment.
The 25 MVAr 144 kV capacitor at Irish Creek 706S, as identified in the 2015 Long-term Transmission Plan (LTP), is required prior to the Project ISD, since the inclusion of this capacitor bank mitigates all criteria violations noted in the pre- and post-connection results.]

2. Criteria, System Data, and Study Assumptions
2.1Criteria, Standards, and Requirements
2.1.1 Transmission Planning Standards and Reliability Criteria
The Transmission Planning (TPL) Standards, which are included in the Alberta Reliability Standards, and the AESO’s Transmission Planning Criteria – Basis and Assumptions (Reliability Criteria)2 were applied to evaluate system performance under Category A system conditions (i.e., all elements in-service) and following Category B contingencies (i.e., single element outage) and selected Category C5 contingencies (i.e., double circuit common tower contingency), prior to and following the studied alternatives. Below is a summary of Category A 2 Please refer to Attachment A

Make sure the information in the Executive Summary and the information](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022504/5ab4e4af7f8b9a6e1c8c493a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
and Category B system conditions as well as a summary of Category C5 system conditions. [NOTE: If Category C5 contingency assessment is not required, remove the reference to Category C5]
Category A, often referred to as the N-0 condition, represents a normal system with no contingencies and all facilities in service. Under this condition, the system must be able to supply all firm load and firm transfers to other areas. All equipment must operate within its applicable rating, voltages must be within their applicable range, and the system must be stable with no cascading outages.Category B events, often referred to as an N-1 or N-G-1 with the most critical generator out of service, result in the loss of any single specified system element under specified fault conditions with normal clearing. These elements are a generator, a transmission circuit, a transformer, or a single pole of a DC transmission line. The acceptable impact on the system is the same as Category A. Planned or controlled interruptions of electric supply to radial customers or some local network customers, connected to or supplied by the faulted element or by the affected area, may occur in certain areas without impacting the overall reliability of the interconnected transmission systems. To prepare for the next contingency, system adjustments are permitted, including curtailments of contracted firm (non-recallable reserved) transmission service electric power transfers.Category C5 events [NOTE: Category C wording may need to be adjusted on a project-by-project basis] results in loss of two circuits of a multiple circuit tower. All equipment must operate within its applicable rating, voltages must be within their applicable range, and the system must be stable with no cascading outages. For Category C5, the controlled interruption of electric supply to customers (load shedding), the planned removal from service of certain generators, and/or the curtailment of contracted firm (non-recallable reserved) transmission service electric power transfers may be necessary to maintain the overall reliability of the interconnected transmission systems.
The Alberta Reliability Standards include the Transmission Planning (TPL) standards that specify the desired system performance under different contingency categories with respect to the Applicable Ratings. The transmission system performance under various system conditions is defined in Appendix 1 of the TPL standards. For the purpose of applying the TPL standards to this study, the Applicable Ratings shall mean:
Seasonal continuous thermal rating of the line’s loading limits. Highest specified loading limits for transformers.
For Category A conditions: Voltage range under normal operating condition should follow the AESO Information Document ID# 2010-007RS. For the busses not listed in ID#2010-007RS, Table 2-1 in the Reliability Criteria applies.
For Category B and Category C5 conditions: The extreme voltage range values per Table 2-1 in the Reliability Criteria.
Desired post-contingency voltage change limits for three defined post event timeframes as provided in Error: Reference source not found.

2.1.2 AESO Rules The AESO Voltage Control Practice ID # 2010-007RS will be applied to establish pre- contingency voltage profiles in the Study Area. The Section 302.1 of the ISO Rules, Real Time Transmission Constraint Management (TCM) will be followed in setting up the study scenarios and assessment of the impact of the Project connection. In addition, due regard will be given to the AESO’s Connection Study Requirements and the AESO’s Generation and Load Interconnection Standard.The Reliability Criteria is the basis for planning the AIES. The transmission system will normally be designed to meet or exceed the Reliability Criteria under credible worst-case loading and generation conditions.
2.1.3 Other Requirements Other AESO requirements to be applied when performing connection studies are outlined below:
if applicable Describe in detail the application of any other AESO requirements, criteria, standards, rules, practices, and guidelines (market or otherwise) when the connection studies were carried out. Use subsection headings that clearly identify the requirement being discussed or add another bullet.
2.2Study ScenariosOutline the scenarios (system conditions) studied and the study years. These scenarios should represent a range of potential system conditions, assumed loading conditions, and assumed generation dispatches sufficient to allow an analysis of the transmission system performance in the Study Area. The scenarios may include the following:• Low and high loading levels• Low and high generation levels• Interchange conditions (for example, high, medium, or low export from Alberta to British Columbia or
high, medium, or low import from British Columbia to Alberta)• Transmission flow variations, such as South of Keephills/Ellerslie/Genesee (SOK), Fort McMurray
transfer in and out, HVDC power order and other relevant area transfers
[Table 2.2-3 provides a list of the study scenarios. Scenarios 1 and 2 are the pre-Project scenarios for 2016 SP and WP. Scenarios 3 and 4 are the post-Project scenarios for 2016 SP and WP with the requested DTS 20 MW addition at the Thornton 2091S. A power factor of 0.9 lagging was used for the new Project load]

2.3.3 Intertie Flow AssumptionsIndicate the assumptions regarding the intertie flow between Alberta and neighbouring jurisdictions. If Intertie flow is not a key assumption in a Connection project, please discard this section. Below are examples of the write up:[Intertie assumptions are included for the B.C., MATL, and Saskatchewan interties. Details on the assumptions can be found in Table 2.3-6.]or[The intertie points are deemed to be too far away to have an effect on the assessment of the proposed connection. The flows in the Study Area are not influenced by the AIES HVDC facilities. As a result, the intertie and HVDC assumptions are kept consistent with that in the AESO planning base cases and not adjusted for this study.]

2.3.4 HVDC Power Order (if applicable)
In general, the majority of connections to the AIES will not require adjustment to the planned load flow order levels for the WATL and EATL HVDC links during studies. For major projects and where the scoped study scenarios require adjustments to the pre-set HVDC flow level provided by the AESO in the Base Cases, the AESO Planning Engineer will provide guidance as to the new flow settings and associated VAR adjustments as required. In these cases, below are examples of wording:[The power orders shown in Table 2.3-7 were assumed in this Study. HVDC dispatch aligns with the AESO’s planned HVDC operating procedures. Under some scenarios, EATL was dispatched to a higher power order in a South-to-North direction to reduce congestion on the Central East 138/144 kV existing transmission system. The pre-Project and post-Project dispatches were the same for each alternative.]or
[The HVDC power orders will be set based on the minimum loss per the assumptions in pre- and post-Project study scenarios.]

2.9Voltage Profile AssumptionsPlease keep the following description unless any change is required.
The AESO Voltage Control Practice ID # 2010-007RS is used to establish normal system (i.e. pre-contingency) voltage profiles for key area busses prior to commencing any studies. Table 2-1 of the Reliability Criteria applies for all the busses not included in the ID 2010-007RS. These voltages were utilized to set the voltage profile for the study base cases prior to load flow analysis.
2.10 Motor Starting AssumptionsThe section is to evaluate the potential impacts of motor starting operation on the surrounding system. The customer must provide details of study assumptions (including how frequent the motor starts and then find the voltage dip percentage for different voltage levels), motor model, and software used to perform the studies. Also the type of motor starting equipment and/or starting methodology that would be implemented must be specified. If Motor starting analysis is no longer required, remove the subsection – The example below assumes that VFD will be installed with across the line staring capability as backup. If the Market Participant confirms that the motors in the Project will not start motors across the line, Motor starting analysis is no longer required.Below is an example of the write up for motor starting assumption portion:
[The following assumptions were used in conducting motor starting analysis:
The transient voltage dip at the 138 kV transmission bus should not exceed 5% when starting a single motor.
The motors will not start simultaneously. Only one motor will be allowed to start in VFD bypass mode while the other motors are running at full load.]

3.2 Load Flow AnalysisEach project has different loadflow analysis methodology based on Study Area characteristics and study assumptions. Please describe the methodology used in the loadflow analysis in this section. If any abnormal thermal loadings (above 100% thermal loading) are observed, perform Category B load flow analysis on the identified contingencies by stepping Transformer tap adjustment. The identified abnormal thermal loadings are still observed, it should be addressed in the load flow results.Below is an example of the write up:
[Load flow analysis will be completed for all study scenarios to identify any thermal or transmission voltage violations as per the Reliability Criteria. Transformer tap and switched shunt reactive compensation devices such as shunt capacitors and reactors will be locked and continuous shunt devices will be enabled when performing Category B load flow analysis. POD low voltage bus deviations will also be assessed by first locking all tap changers and area capacitors to identify any post-transient voltage deviations above 10%. Tap changers will then be allowed to adjust, while shunt reactive compensating devices remained locked; to determine if any voltage deviations above 7% would occur in the area. Once all taps and shunt reactive compensating devices have been adjusted, voltage deviations above 5% will be reported, for both the pre-Project and post-Project networks.]

3.2.1 Contingencies StudiedLoad flow analysis was performed for the Category A condition and all Category B contingencies in [the Study Area, e.g., the Grande Cache (Area 22) and Grande Prairie (Area 20) planning areas], including ties to surrounding areas for all pre- and post-Project scenarios.
3.3 Voltage Stability (PV) AnalysisIf this analysis is not required, please remove the subsection.The objective of the Power-Voltage (PV) curve is to determine the ability of the network to maintain voltage stability at all the busses in the system under normal and abnormal system conditions. The PV curve is a representation of voltage change as a result of increased power transfer between two systems. The reported incremental transfers will be to the collapse point. As per the AESO requirements, no assessment based upon other criteria such as minimum voltage will be made at the PV minimum transfer. Voltage stability analysis for post-connection scenarios will be performed. For load connection projects, the load level modelled in post-connection scenarios are the same or higher than in pre-connection scenarios. Therefore, voltage stability analysis for pre-connection scenarios will only be performed if post-Project scenarios show voltage stability criteria violations.
Voltage stability (PV) analysis will be performed according to the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) Voltage Stability Assessment Methodology. The voltage stability criteria states, for load areas, post-transient voltage stability is required for the area modeled at a minimum of 105% of the reference load level for system normal conditions (Category A) and for single contingencies (Category B). For this standard, the reference load level is the maximum established planned load.
Typically, voltage stability analysis is carried out assuming the worst case scenarios in terms of loading. The voltage stability analysis was performed by increasing load in [Study Areas, e.g., the Grande Prairie and Grande Cache Areas (AESO planning areas 20 and 22, respectively)], and increasing the corresponding generation in the following AESO Planning Areas:
[Source area, e.g., the Wabamun planning area (Area 40)] [Source area] [Source area]
As per the voltage stability criteria, post transient techniques (all tap changers, all discrete capacitors locked, but SVCs will be allowed to adjust) will used in applying the criteria and this information is reflected in all tables and graphs. Also for this analysis, no limits will be selected for the generation sources, non-negative active power constant MVA loads will be enforced and the existing power factor for the reference will be maintained.

3.5 Short-Circuit AnalysisShort-circuit analysis was performed for [Study scenarios, e.g., the 2016 WP pre Project scenario and 2016 WP and 2025 WP post-Project scenarios] to determine the short-circuit levels in the vicinity of the Project. The short-circuit analysis includes three phase and single line to ground faults. Fault levels are provided in the form of currents in kilo amperes and per unit positive and zero sequence impedances.
3.6 Motor Starting AnalysisIf this analysis is not required, please remove the subsection.This section is to describe the study methodology of motor starting analysis. Below is an example of the write up:
[Motor starting analysis will be performed for the proposed motors under system normal (Category A) conditions and worst case contingencies identified in the voltage stability and power flow analyses.

13 Effectiveness factor analysis is carried out to determine the generator/load effectiveness factors which are used to estimate the ability of each generator/load to relieve transmission element constraints. A generator/load’s effectiveness factor is defined as the change in power flow over a specific line following a change in the generator’s output power/ the load. As such, the larger the generator/load effectiveness factor the more helpful it can be in alleviating a thermal violation on the transmission line associated to it.

5.2.2 Connection Alternatives Not Selected for Further Studies
Please state the rationale for ruling out the Alternatives.If available,
Refer to the DFO’s Distribution Deficiency Report (DDR) Address Market Participant (MP)’s preference (including cost estimates) Specify Transmission Facility Owners (TFOs)’s position on any possible limitation/constraints that
would result in ruling out a specific alternative. Below is an example of the write up:[Both Alternative 3 and Alternative 4 would require greater transmission development and were not selected for further studies. Alternative 3: In addition to adding a new POD and converting the existing T-tap connection configuration of Dome Cutbank 810S to an in/out connection configuration, ATCO has advised that Alternative 3 involves reconfiguring or modifying equipment and the 25 kV and 144 kV busses, and mitigation of substation outages. ATCO has also advised that the existing Dome Cutbank 810S substation is constrained on all sides. Therefore, Alternative 3 involves relocating the Dome Cutbank 810S substation to a new greenfield site to accommodate the transmission developments. Alternative 4: Alternative 4 involves upgrading the existing Dome Cutbank 810S substation, including either (i) adding two 144 kV breakers and replacing the two existing 144/25 kV 10/13 MVA transformers and one voltage regulator with two 144/25 kV transformers of a higher capacity, or (ii) adding one 144 kV breaker and a 144/25 kV 30/40/50 MVA LTC transformer. ATCO has advised that Alternative 4 also involves reconfiguring or modifying equipment and the 25 kV and 144 kV busses, and mitigation of substation outages. As with Alternative 3, this transmission alternative involves relocating the Dome Cutbank 810S substation to a new greenfield site to accommodate the transmission developments.]
6 Technical Analysis of the Connection Alternatives
Using the structure below, detail the results of the studies carried out for each connection alternative. Exclude any subsection that does not apply to the connection studies.If criteria violations were observed based on the study results for Alternatives, investigate and propose the needed mitigation method(s) -in consultation with AESO- to alleviate or manage the condition(s). System performance issues may include, for example, the following: • Thermal loading violations of transformers based on 100% static seasonal thermal rating • Thermal loading of lines exceeding 100% nominal seasonal thermal rating and less than TFO
declared short-term seasonal rating which would require real time operation adjustments.• Thermal loading of lines exceeding TFO declared short-term seasonal rating which would be
managed by the remedial action scheme or by procedure in curtailing load or generation in pre contingency or by re-configuration.
• Voltage levels and deviations beyond the allowed levels indicated in the AESO Transmission Reliability Criteria.

6.4 Motor Starting Analysis [as required]
If the MP has confirmed that the motors will not start with VFD, then motor starting analysis will not be required. Present the motor starting analysis results by using “across-the-line” starting of the motors at the proposed substation. Please list the nameplate data of the proposed motors in a table. Specify equivalent circuit diagram and corresponding data (parameter). Below is an example of the write up for motor starting analysis portion:
[Motor starting analysis was performed to assess the feasibility of the “across-the-line” starting of the 7,000 HP motors at the proposed Battle Sands 594S substation. Although Enbridge has indicated that Variable Frequency Drivers (VFDs) will be used to start the motors, the analysis assesses the voltage dip at the transmission busses in the case of a VFD failure (VFD by-pass condition) and to determine if starting restrictions would be imposed.
Motor starting analysis was conducted for the start-up of a single motor with all other motors in the station already running at full load. All four motors were supplied by one 138/6.9 kV, 25/33 MVA transformer. The 2017 WP post-Project scenario was used in the analysis. The analysis was based on the dynamic analysis method in PSS/E 33. ]

6.5 Sub-Synchronous Studies AnalysisThe AESO will provide detailed guidance if sub-synchronous studies are required.
6.6 Sensitivity Studies [as required]
Discuss the results obtained from all sensitivity tests carried out to determine the robustness of the study conclusions.
6.7 Effectiveness Factor Analysis [as required]
Describe the analysis carried out to determine the generator/load effectiveness factors which are used to estimate the ability of each generator/load to relieve transmission element constraints. The effectiveness factor is defined as the proportional change in MW over a specific line as a result of a change in the generator’s output power or the load to be supplied. As such, the larger the generator/load effectiveness factor the more helpful it can be in alleviating a thermal violation on the transmission line associated with that particular effectiveness factor. The results of the effectiveness factor analysis are presented in detail in Attachment M.
7 Mitigation MeasuresThis section summarizes the mitigation measures identified in Section 6. If any constraints are identified, AESO will advise the study consultant if any constraints are identified. Please make sure to check and answer the following questions.
1. Is it the existing constraint and captured in pre-Project scenarios? If so, please describe how the addition of the Project worsen or improve a pre-existing condition? Also specify how the existing constraints are currently managed.
2. If this is not a previously identified constraint in the Study Area, will AESO and the consultant identify solutions for mitigating the identified constraints?
Demonstrate the generation/load effectiveness (depending on the Project) of the proposed mitigation methods using the study results. Use tables and figures where possible. Include any explanations required to clarify the study outcome and conclusions. Below is an example of the write up:
[The steady state analysis showed N-1 thermal violations for the studied 2017 scenarios. Operational measures will be utilized to alleviate line loadings above continuous loading limit and below emergency rating. Loadings beyond emergency rating will be mitigated by the existing RAS already in service, RASs specified for the other projects connections, and proposed new connection RASs. The application of these RASs in alleviating the thermal violations is demonstrated in Attachment L and the associated power flow diagrams after mitigation measures are shown in Attachment N. The corresponding Generation/Load Effectiveness factor tables under thermal constraint lines under Category B contingencies are provided in Attachment M.

AESO will specify new RASs in the Functional Specifications for the EON and Mainstream Wainwright WAGFs to include the additional needed functionality and equipment.
Several thermal violations were observed for double circuit Category C5 contingencies. These existing violations will be mitigated by the real-time measures.]
8 Short-Circuit AnalysisFor load and generator connection, all the generators in the Study Area should be on-line. Include the short-circuit analysis for the preferred alternative amoung the listed alternatives in Section 5.2. If connection alternatives will impact short-circuit current, provide the results, include the short-circuit analysis for the studied alternative. Explain if the short-circuit current levels21 would not be materially changed or not.
Highlight the short circuit current levels which are above 90% of equipment rating. Market participants can approach the AESO for advice with respect to long-term anticipated short circuit levels and can collaborate with the AESO on a system-based solution if a more locally-based solution cannot solve it.

[The Project is dependent on line 7L44 relay tele-communication upgrade to mitigate instability of Lowe Lake (NPP1) generator on a fault on line 7L44. The existing relay upgrade at Flyingshot 749S and Big Mountain 847S substation is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2016 (ATCO capital maintenance project). This upgrade will incorporate tele-communication functionality, i.e. communications assisted tripping, and will allow for reduced fault clearing times of 8 cycles for a remote fault on line 7L44.
Upon the completion of this capital maintenance project, the NPP1 request to increase its STS contract from 93 MW to 105 MW can be realized.]
