1.7 Planning and Operational AdviceAEMO will provide a planning advice document for the project, describing the requirement for, and operation of, the primary works based on asset configurations and capabilities. It is intended to facilitate communication between network planners, service providers and network operators and form the basis for development of operational advice.

Version 2.0 4 October 2013 Page 5 of 15

PRIMARY FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

The planning advice document will include switchyard and connecting line/plant configuration, plant ratings, impedances and other relevant operational parameters, as well as any system constraints that may arise as a result of the new augmentation.

The process for preparation of the planning advice document, including data requirements from each affected party, is described in “Victorian Electricity Transmission Planning Advice”.

2 Augmentation Requirements

2.1 GeneralAll primary plant and equipment forming part of the Augmentation must be installed and commissioned to accommodate the proposed connection arrangement depicted in Attachment D.1.All primary plant and equipment must conform with all relevant Australian Standards. In the absence of an Australian Standard, the relevant International Electro-technical Committee (IEC) standards shall apply. A listing of relevant standards and guides is included in Table 11.

All installed primary plant and equipment must allow for maintenance and repair of failed components while minimising the impact on power system performance as follows:

Outage of equipment within a bay (excluding bus-side isolators and earth switches) for maintenance, repair or extension purposes must not require any connecting busbar or equipment within an adjacent bay to be taken out of service;

Outage of bus-side isolators or earth switches must not require outage of equipment beyond the adjacent busbar and bay;

Outage of equipment must not compromise the protection and control of in-service plant.

Secondary equipment and wiring must not permanently limit primary plant ratings.

2.2 Network Services

This section identifies the network services that the installed primary plant and equipment is required to provide. Table 5 provides a general description of the required services.

2.4 Design of M3 Transformer Connection to the 500 kV Bus TieA connector is required between the proposed M3 transformer and the 500 kV Bus Tie circuit breakers (point X shown in Attachment D.1). The connector must enable the 500 kV Bus Tie to remain in service during an outage of the M3 transformer. Isolation of the M3 transformer from the 500 kV bus tie must be achieved within one hour for a planned outage and within seven hours for an unplanned outage of the M3 transformer.

2.5 Interfacing with SPI PowerNet’s Shared NetworkThe Augmentation includes connection of the 500 kV bus extensions to SPI PowerNet’s existing 500 kV buses, and connection of the Bay 3 275 kV bus extension to SPI PowerNet’s 275 kV bus extension in Bay 4 as shown in Attachment D.1.

PRIMARY FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

2.6.2 Service Environmental ConditionsAll new primary plant and equipment must:

be designed to operate from -5°C up to +40°C (shade ambient temperature) and under all other environmental conditions specified in Appendix A. Where standard seasonal ratings are specified, the winter rating shall be 5°C (shade ambient temperature); and

operate reliably and otherwise satisfactorily up to an ambient temperature of 50°C.

All insulation of primary plant, must be designed in accordance with Australian Standards to cater for Level III (Heavy) pollution, as defined in AS 4436.

2.6.3 Interplant Connections

The minimum rating of inter-plant connections must be consistent with both the expected power system conditions shown in Table 3 and the requirements detailed in Table 6 of the plant being connected.

Inter-plant connections must be designed to withstand the short circuit forces arising under maximum fault level conditions.

2.6.4 Power TransformersThe Augmentation includes installation of the M3 transformer for connection between the shared network 500 kV and 275 kV buses. The M3 transformer requirements are included in Appendix B.

2.7 EarthingTNSP must design and install an earthing system extension to mitigate unsafe step, touch or transfer potential from arising at any location either within or external to HYTS as a result of 500 kV and 275 kV fault levels being 15 kARMS and 20 kARMS at the respective yards, in accordance with all relevant Australian and International Standards and guides. If the existing earthing system’s rating is higher than these ratings, the earthing system extension must match the existing earthing system rating.

The earthing system extension shall be normally tied to the existing HYTS earthing system. However, facilities must be provided to allow separation for the purposes of testing.

The design of the earthing system extension must account for possible future development (see Section 2.10.4). The earthing system must be able to mitigate unsafe step or touch potentials from arising anywhere as a result of the following:

A 500 kV fault level of up to 50 kARMS through extension and not replacement of the earthing system and an X/R ratio of 35; and

A 275 kV fault level of up to 40 kARMS through extension and not replacement of the earthing system and an X/R ratio of 30.

The earthing system extension (both present and future) must be capable of carrying a fault current of 50 kARMS at 500 kV and 40 kARMS at 275 kV for a period not less than the maximum backup protection clearance time without damage.

SPI PowerNet is responsible for the earthing system falling outside of the Augmentation requirements. Step and touch potentials must be safe for all shared transmission network assets outside the Augmentation site.

Version 2.0 4 October 2013 Page 10 of 15

PRIMARY FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

2.8 Electric and Magnetic Field LevelsElectric and magnetic field levels must always allow safe access and working conditions and comply with the maximum allowable levels specified by the NHMRC in the ‘Australian Exposure Interim Guidelines’ and as published by ARPANSA (see Table 2).

The overall design must adopt an approach of "prudent avoidance" to minimise EMF throughout the HYTS.

2.9 Station Auxiliary SuppliesDuplicate AC station supplies and DC battery supplies must be made available on site as per the PCRs noted in Table 1.

2.10 Station Layout

2.10.1 Site LayoutThe primary plant and equipment layout must be designed and constructed to facilitate possible future development (see Section 2.10.4).

2.10.2 Control BuildingsAll control, protection and other auxiliary equipment is to be installed in the existing building, if possible Terms of access to the existing control building must be negotiated with SPI PowerNet. If a new building is required it must be located within the HYTS so as to allow it to be extended to accommodate the possible future development (see Section 2.10.4). Buildings must comply with the requirements of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and with the relevant requirements of AS 2067.

At present, the BCA specifies certain requirements for electrical substations and similar installations (i.e. clause C2.13 of Volume 1), but does not allocate an unambiguous classification to stand-alone infrastructure buildings, such as electricity substations. The requirements for BCA Class 8 buildings may be used as a basic guide for the design of these buildings.

Buildings and all associated structures must be designed for an Importance Level of 4 – “Building and Structures essential to Post-Disaster Function” in accordance with the BCA, Section B – Part B1 – Structural Provisions. The design life of control buildings must be 50 years.

Adequate systems and structures are required to protect SPI PowerNet owned assets from possible Augmentation hazards, including transformer fire detection and suppression, and the containment of oil from transformer leakage or rupture.

2.10.3 Protection from DamageIn line with good electricity industry practice, reasonable isolation and physical protection of all primary plant and equipment will be required to reduce the risk of damage caused by any failure.

2.10.4 Future ConsiderationsThe design of the primary works must provide for the possible future development at the site shown in Figure 1.

part of any proposed design, AEMO shall be informed of the ambient temperature rating performance and any expected rating reduction over the range from 40°C to 50°C with information provided in increments of 1°C. AEMO may accept the proposed ambient temperature rating performance if it is appropriate or, if necessary, require the specification of higher-rated equipment.

Note 2: It is important to ensure that solid state devices that may be incorporated into outdoor equipment and the cooling systems for equipment such as SVC's do not constrain operation of the equipment at the temperatures specified, even if there may be some de-rating of the primary equipment. For example in an SVC, if the ambient temperature gets too high the SVC may be tripped due to the temperature limitation of the thyristors.
