1.1 Detailed Design Assumptions 1.1.1 Assumptions Common to Generic Substation Building Blocks

Sizes of substations are categorised as follows:

Category No. of HV bays

Major 14 Medium 8 Small 6 Rural 2

It was assumed that there were to be no gantries and all busbars were to be of rigid tubular aluminium. “Worse case” dimensions have been applied, e.g. 33kV as opposed to 11 kV switchgear was used to dimension the switchgear room. All assumptions and design parameters are based on “best practice” principles as if the project was to be built today. Designs are based on Transpower’s current practice.

1.1.2 Building Blocks for AC Substations - Buildings

Generic Buildings Building Blocks Identified A suitable Building building block was designed for each of the following substation types:

1. Major outdoor, 2. Major indoor, 3. Medium outdoor, 4. Small outdoor, 5. Rural outdoor, and 6. Rural indoor.

Specific Buildings Building Blocks Identified Due to the specific nature of the buildings, the Building costs for the following stations were assessed individually.

1. Tiwai 2. Motunui

Generic Buildings: Key Assumptions

No amenities are provided for in the building layout, i.e. no mess room, toilets, or other work space. The control room is a metal clad timber framed structure, while the switchgear room has concrete-filled block-work walls. Concrete slabs on grade are used

with a false floor using Uni-Strut supports in the control room for panel fixing and cable entry. Switchgear room sizes have been based on the use of 33kV switchgear with dimensions of 1m wide and 2.35m deep. Total switchgear length was based on the panel widths given in Table A1.1. Table A1.1: Panel Widths Panel Type Panel

width (m)Feeder 1 Incomer 1 Bus Section 1 VT per Bus 1 Busbar connection 1

The control room size is based on:

• All panels 600 x 600 x 2200mm high, with 1200mm clearance, front and

rear, of all panels • 3 x 33 kV circuits per protection panel • 2 x 110 kV line circuits per protection panel • 1 x 220 kV line circuit per protection panel (Prot 1 & Prot 2) • 1 x transformer bank per protection • 2 x protection signalling equipment per 220 kV line • 1 x protection signalling equipment per 110 or 66 kV line • 10 x protection signalling equipment per panel • 12 panels per row • No 24 V d.c. system (communications asset)

Unique Buildings: Key Assumptions

The cost estimates have been based on detailed design drawings available in Transpower’s document system. Grades of materials and building services performance levels have been assumed to be average and typical of a standard type of switchgear building. Generally the cost estimates for the building structures include sub-floor cable ducts and normal building services. External and internal finishes such as painted surfaces have been based on assumptions and may not reflect actual finish.

Power Transformers: Key Assumptions Distribution (two winding) transformers are equipped with protection having the following characteristics:

Page 5: Appendix 1: AC Modern Equivalent Assets and Replacement Costs · 77 Appendix 1: AC Modern Equivalent Assets and Replacement Costs 1.1 Detailed Design Assumptions 1.1.1 Assumptions

81

• Differential protection. The valuation assumes a digital relay that does not need interposing current transformers. This relay provides trip circuit supervision for one set of trip coils.

• No test switches or other testing facilities are assumed except for shoring of the current transformer connections when the relay is removed from the case. It is assured that the feeder protections will cover the transformer while the transformer protection relay is being tested.

• Circuit breaker control push buttons are on connection circuit protections. • MVAJ26 relay used for protection 1 (Buch) • MVAJ26 trips into the same coils as the feeder (incomer) protections.

They provide trip circuit supervision.

Interconnecting banks are equipped with protection essentially the same as for distribution transformer protection, with the following enhancements: • Three winding transformer protection relay • Residual voltage protection on the tertiary circuit. • Under impedance protection on the 110 kV and 66 kV circuits.

Oil Containment: Key Assumptions

Tank sub-grade is adequate for an allowable soil bearing pressure 100 kPa (if this cannot be obtained then over-excavation would be required at further cost) - all backfill is compacted to an allowable soil bearing pressure of 100

Page 6: Appendix 1: AC Modern Equivalent Assets and Replacement Costs · 77 Appendix 1: AC Modern Equivalent Assets and Replacement Costs 1.1 Detailed Design Assumptions 1.1.1 Assumptions

82

kPa. Batter slope of excavation suits the stability of the material (the quantities used are based on 1 horizontal to 2½ vertical). Backfill around the tank uses imported pit sand or similar approved material (the excavated material is removed from the site). The maximum depth of material over the tank is 300 mm. Depth of water table is within 1 metre of the ground level. There is no allowance for de-watering during construction. The design allows for 2.5 kPa live load over the tank - no truck access over the tank is assumed. Formwork is the method for all concrete work (tray deck to be used as formwork for the roof, and left in place). Pump installation includes a small submersible pump plus electrical accessories, including a high level alarm connected to the area operating centre. Clean water from the pump main is reticulated to either an adjacent open stormwater drain, new soakhole or an existing piped stormwater system (no allowance has been made for soakhole system if needed). Each bund has a separate oil resistant isolating valve.

1.1.5 Building Blocks for AC Substations - Switchgear

Building Blocks for AC Substations - Switchgear

i Switchgear Building Blocks Identified

The switchgear building blocks used are listed in Table A1.14. Gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) proved to be difficult to price on a modular basis, because each GIS installation is inherently unique. Prices from last year’s valuation were used for GIS switchgear. A new term, “connection circuit”, has been introduced to refer to a circuit connecting to a capacitor bank, reactor, HV terminals of an interconnecting transformer, or HV terminals of a supply transformer.

Busbar conductors

The main bus is aluminium alloy 6060 T5/6 tube typically sized for mechanical strength as opposed to rating, with flexible jumpers between tube sections. For the transverse bus, flexible connections are predominantly used. Any sections of tube are typically sized for mechanical strength as opposed to rating. For all bus arrangements, the main bus is at a higher level than the transverse bus. For 220 kV, the bus is supported by posts either side of each bay, with flexible jumpers to the next bay, similar to the Haywards substation 220 kV bus arrangement. Tube size used is 200x6 mm. For 110, 66 and 33 kV, the bus itself is a similar arrangement, except that flexible joints are supported on a common post. Each section of tube spans two

Metering Revenue metering points are provided at the grid exit points where customers take supply from the Transpower grid. These points are at the incomers (33 kV, 22 kV and 11 kV) of the supply transformers and 220 kV, 110 kV and 66 kV feeder circuits. Each point meters the net supply to the customer; i.e. it is assumed that there are no Transpower incurred energy losses downstream from this point. The station services supplies are taken upstream from the revenue metering points and thus are not metered The revenue metering points are metered by a revenue metering installation compliant with Schedule D1, Part D of the EGRs.

1.1.7 Building Blocks for AC Transmission Lines

Transmission Lines Building Blocks Identified

Transmission line building blocks were identified as listed in Table A1.6. Transmission Lines: Key Assumptions Structures

Five structure types were adopted: Light Suspension - zero deviation, Heavy Suspension - 5o deviation, Light Strain - 15o deviation, Heavy Strain - 50o deviation, and Dead End - full termination. Where possible, the number of each type of structure was based on a review of actual Transpower lines in representative terrain conditions, and quantities extrapolated to the Building Block length. As the number of different structure types for actual lines do not necessarily match the assumed structure types, some grouping of actual tower numbers was required. Structure numbers for those Blocks not directly matching actual lines were extrapolated or copied from adjacent Building Blocks. Table A1.6 shows the lines used for representative profile information. Table A1.6: Representative Lines Voltage

Actual tower details were investigated to determine actual tower weights and dimensions for the structures, i.e. height to crossarm, crossarm spacing, and base width. Where tower weights were not directly available, they were extrapolated from adjacent known weights using empirically estimated weights as a guide. The empirical formulae used, which are based on the overturning moment (working) and tower height, were by Peterson, and Ryle. In some cases the base width was also empirically determined using the Ryle formula. A factor of 1.65 was used to divide the calculated ultimate loads to give a working load for use in the empirical equations (refer to comments in the section on Foundations for further details of the ultimate loads). Tower heights and therefore weights were further modified to accommodate the required crossarm heights. For Mountainous terrain, the tower heights were modified to allow for conductor sagging into the valleys. Where available, the reviewed tower contracts, and therefore weights were from the Transpower design loading period of 1963-1968, which is considered to be the most optimised set of design criteria for long service lines. For comparison, tower weights for contracts based on the subsequent and more onerous (less optimised) design criteria were investigated. The weights for the later contracts were found to be of the order of 10-20% higher than the adopted weights. Tower weights include bolts and gusset plates, where the bolts account for about 5% of the total weight. For Pole Structures, the relevant octagonal pole length was determined depending upon the configuration of the phases/circuits, the latest Transpower supply contract pole strengths, and the required ground clearance (based on Transpower requirements). The diameter of the pole base was recorded to allow foundation backfill volumes to be calculated. A pole structure code was recorded to allow reference to the pole fitting details which include such things as the number and length of guys, crossarm length and insulator types etc. The total number of poles allows for PI and other multiple pole structures. Crossarm spacing was optimised for the various voltages based on minimum spacing criteria in NZECP-34. The Pole structure heights and quantities for the Light Suspension structures were optimised based on the minimum pole height for the resulting average span length, and preliminary costing comparisons where a smaller number of the taller poles were found to be more economical. In addition, to allow for the difference in the theoretical average span, and the actual average span found with recent projects, the optimised number of Light Suspension structures was increased by 7%, which effectively reduces the average span length. Two Dead End structures were adopted in each Building Block.

Foundations

The tower foundation loads are determined directly from the conductor diameter and tensions, assumed deviation angles, and the tower height and base width. An ultimate wind pressure (calculated from NZS4203:1992) of 1.1kPa was adopted for Flat terrain, 1.0kPa for Hilly and Urban, and 1.3kPa for Mountainous, while a load factor of 1.2 was applied to the 40% UTS conductor tension. Wind on tower was based on assumed percentages of conductor overturning moments based on values in the empirical weight paper by Ryle, and other experience. The tower wind loading factors varied for the single and double circuit towers. Using average soil properties (based on a geotechnical review of soil maps for NZ), tower bored foundation diameters and lengths were calculated for a range of loads. To record average foundation reinforcement requirements, the foundation dimensions for the Firm Cohesive soil conditions were adopted. The reinforcement was determined using a varying percentage of the foundation volume: 50kg/m3, 60kg/m3 and 70kg/m3 for the suspension, Light Strain, and remaining strain towers respectively. The values are based on foundation design experience. A separate calculation was undertaken to identify the likely longitudinal reinforcement based on an assumption that the main bars account for 80% of the total reinforcement. The longitudinal reinforcement type is only used in the construction costing component, and does not modify the total reinforcement weight. The Pole foundation dimensions are taken from Transpower's current Standard Pole Foundation tables for a Mixed, Medium, Dry/Moist soil. The backfill type is either "excavated", "strengthened", or "concrete". The pole embedment length was taken as the pole length/7 + 0.3m. Conductor The conductor length is calculated from the Average Span, sagged conductor length, taken over the full line length, taking into account the number of sub-conductors and circuits. A wastage allowance of 2.5%, based on previous experience, was adopted for construction requirements. Earthwire

The earthwire length is calculated similarly to the conductor length, except that the earthwire is only present for 1km at each end of the nominated lines. A similar wastage allowance of 2.5% was adopted for construction requirements. Insulator Assemblies

The insulator assemblies were defined separately for the poles and towers, based on current Transpower practice and further optimised where possible. The Lines Building Blocks include a slack span component subsequent to the Dead End tower requirements, suitable for attachment to an overhead gantry or similarly as tie-downs.

Earthwire Assemblies

The earthwire assembly numbers are split into towers and poles, and suspension and strain. Other Fittings The fitting names for the spacers, conductor and earthwire vibration dampers, conductor mid-span joints, and structure signage are defined similarly to the other fittings. The number of spacers and vibration dampers are based on the standard Transpower requirements for the respective conductor types. The number of mid-span joints is based on the required number of cable drums, but also taking into account the number of strain structures for the Building Block. Each pole structure is assumed to have only one LSD/CPI sign. Miscellaneous

Each building block is taken to be 100km in length. An everyday conductor tension of 20.5% UTS was used to determine the corresponding maximum operating temperature tensions (50oC & 75oC) for each conductor type. Nominal average span lengths of 165m and 375m for the pole and tower lines respectively, based on a review of a number of route profiles, were adopted as the Basic Span to allow representative conductor tensions to be determined. The corresponding number of spans was recorded for comparison to the actual number of spans based on the assumed number of structures. The maximum conductor tension is assumed to be 40% UTS for maximum transverse loading, and is used to determine leg loads and estimate tower weights. Earthwires were assumed to be present for 1km at each end only, for 66kV and above. In addition a single earthwire was adopted except for the single circuit 110kV and all 220kV Building Blocks, where two earthwires were adopted.

The estimated number of structures is the sum of the defined individual structure type numbers, which also gave the estimated average span length. No modification has been made to the conductor tensions where the resulting average span length is different to the Basic Span. The Basic Span tensions were used in conjunction with the average span length, to determine the conductor sag, the sagged conductor length, and the corresponding minimum crossarm heights (both suspension and strain) for flat ground. Construction The number of drums is based on the respective drum lengths.

The Project Management cost is assumed to be a percentage of the total construction cost, including materials, while the procurement cost is taken as a percentage of the material costs, excluding the conductor. Both values are based on recent line design/construction experience. Design and Transpower Time

The man-hours involved in investigating for the line, designing the structures, foundations and line, are based on extrapolated costs from recent projects converted back to a number of man-hours, as follows: Route Selection: $3k/km (flat & hilly), $2.5k/km (mount.), $10k/km (urban.); Survey: $1.7k/km; Site Investigation: $100/pole site, $700/tower site; Structure Spotting: $1k/km; Tower Design & Testing: $575k/tower building block; Foundation Design: $50/pole site, $500/tower site. Overall management cost is taken as 1% of the construction and material costs. Underground Cable Lines Under ground cable lines owned by Transpower are unique installations not suitable for a building block valuation approach. Actual costs are used to value these lines.

Appendix 2: AC Asset ODRC Calculations and Standing Data 2.1 Calculation of ODRC Values

The replacement costs for each AC network asset building block are listed in Appendix 1. A number of factors, as well as the remaining life effect, are applied to the replacement cost in order to determine the ODRC. The factors are explained further in the following sections of this Appendix. The following calculations are applied to determine the ODRC value for each AC network asset: AC Substation Assets (Building Block Replacement Cost x Interest During Construction Factor x Seismic Factor) / Asset Class Life x Remaining Life AC Transmission Lines (Building Block Replacement Cost x Interest During Construction Factor x Terrain Factor) / Asset Class Life x Remaining Life

Land

The value of land is obtained from Government Valuations. The land value at substations excludes land for houses, or vacant land at substation sites. Land is not depreciated. No seismic, terrain or interest during construction factors are applied to land values in the calculation of the substation valuations.

2.2 Interest During Construction Factors

The IDC factor is determined from Transpower’s long run real post tax cost of capital. This is currently estimated at an annual rate of 6.4%. The IDC adjustment is determined based on the typical time profile for the payment of milestones for construction of a substation or transmission line. The IDC factor is, therefore, a weighted and annualised rate. For substations, this factor is 4.8% per annum, for transmission lines; this factor is 4.0% per annum. The IDC factors for substations and transmission lines are detailed below:

Substations (20 month project)

2.3 Terrain Factors

The value of transmission line assets is dependent upon the terrain over which the transmission line is built. This is reflected in the valuation of each transmission line by assigning a “terrain factor” reflecting the predominant terrain of the line. The terrain factors used have been derived from analysis of a sample of actual Transpower lines. The terrain factors are listed in Table A2.1. Table A2.1: AC Transmission Lines Terrain Factors Terrain Type: Factor Flat terrain 1.00 Hilly terrain 1.07 Mountainous terrain 1.22 Urban terrain 1.15

The terrain factors have been applied to all transmission lines. Table A2.2 shows the length of line each factor has been applied to, by asset class.

2.4 Seismic Zones The design standard for plant at substations varies to take account of the likely impact of earthquakes. In the valuation, these variations are reflected through the use of seismic factors to adjust the replacement costs depending upon the susceptibility of a particular site to seismic activity. The seismic factors are applied on the basis of location, with New Zealand being divided into three areas and each area being designated as a low, medium or high risk area. The seismic factor reflects the additional cost incurred, over and above that applying in a low risk area, for appropriate seismic strengthening. The seismic factors are listed in Table A2.3 by seismic zone and by type of equipment. Table A2.3: Seismic Zones Equipment Type:

Appendix 3: Security Criteria and Quality of Supply Criteria for Technical Optimisation

3.1 General

At present the security standard applied by Transpower to consumers, Distribution Line Businesses (DLBs), and other large private industrial consumers differs significantly from area to area, but in general follows the (n - 1) criterion, with security to the (n - 2) level only used for a small number of specific industrial consumers. Table A3.1 shows the security guidelines for transmission equipment planning. Moreover, a substantial number of smaller supply points are provided with power through either one transmission line or one transformer; either element controlled by a single circuit breaker will meet just the (n) criterion. In the case of transformers, the (n - 1) criterion is applied where there is a single bank of three single phase units and where there is a fourth (or spare unit) on site. Examination of the existing system indicates that in many instances the (n - 1) criterion is not met. Transpower's projections of load demand are used as a basis for the analysis of the system. The system is tested to determine whether it meets the requirements of the consumers over the next fifteen years and to determine the extent of the over design and overbuild in the network. Loadflows performed in previous years have been revisited in 2004 in order to assess the optimisations. In 2002, voltage stability studies were performed as it was believed that the previous optimised network may not have been stable for N-1 contingencies and hence not able to be implemented in practice. This was found to be the case resulting in the reinstatement of some circuits. In particular the 110 kV circuits in the North Isthmus and central North Island. In planning the power system it is necessary to provide adequate circuit capacity in order to meet the security standards within a fifteen year time frame. For determining the optimum conductor size for the line it is necessary to take account of the increase in losses and the effect of radio/television interference so as to select the most technically suitable and cost-effective conductor. In general, utilities throughout the world provide transmission plans over a five, seven and ten year period to facilitate the integration of new power stations and produce the most cost-effective overall system development. Transmission capacity throughout the system is matched to the predicted power transfers over a fifteen year period, and allows for the operation of power stations under abnormal load conditions. The optimisation criteria used in this updated valuation are detailed later in this appendix.

3.2 Load Forecast

The maximum load predictions for the years 2005 and beyond are those contained in Table 11 in Section 5 of the main Valuation Report.

3.3 Generation Scenarios

Optimisation of the transmission system is based upon generation scenarios for 2005 covering maximum, intermediate and minimum load condition. These incorporate abnormal operation of both hydro and thermal power plant. Where a power project has been approved then the effect of the additional generating capacity has been considered in relation to the transmission capacity.

114

3.4 Time Frame for Analysis

The power system will be analysed using the fifteen year forecast which incorporates diversity factors to allow for non-simultaneous occurrence of the maximum load at each substation. If the load conditions exceed the system capability within the fifteen year time frame then the system as built is deemed as optimal for valuation purposes.

3.5 Supply Transformer Optimisation Criteria

All transformers not covered by new investment agreements are subject to optimisation, where over capacity exists relative to the fifteen year peak load flow prediction. The optimisation of existing transformer banks with an MEA is based on the following criteria:

1) Over a fifteen year period, for maximum predicted loads of more than

10 MW, an n-1 security criterion should be satisfied.

2) Over a fifteen year period, for maximum predicted loads of less than 10 MW, an n security criterion should be satisfied unless the customer has indicated that the load is of a continuous nature, in which case N-1 security criterion should be satisfied.

3) Over a fifteen year period, for maximum predicted loads of more than

10 MW, optimal firm capacity shall be the lesser of the existing firm capacity or the maximum predicted MVA demand over the ten year period.

4) Over a fifteen year period, for maximum predicted loads of less than

10 MW if no firm capacity exists currently, the optimal installed capacity shall be the lesser of the existing installed capacity or the maximum predicted MVA demand over the fifteen year period.

5) The size of transformer is adjusted to the nearest standard size

available to Transpower. 6) If existing transformers have OLTCs these are retained. 7) If there exists a spare single phase unit on site, then all single phase

banks capable of using a unit of that size are considered to have firm capacity.

8) All transformer optimisations are subject to all other normal

engineering constraints.

Specific cases are: 1) For fifteen year maximum predicted load of less than 10 MW being

supplied by four single phase units, the optimal arrangement becomes one three phase unit with the optimal installed capacity reduced where necessary, such that the optimal installed capacity does not exceed the maximum predicted MVA demand over a ten year period.

Page 39: Appendix 1: AC Modern Equivalent Assets and Replacement Costs · 77 Appendix 1: AC Modern Equivalent Assets and Replacement Costs 1.1 Detailed Design Assumptions 1.1.1 Assumptions

115

2) For fifteen year maximum predicted load of more than 10 MW, currently supplied by one transformer of four single phase units, the optimal arrangement becomes the cheaper of either:

(a) the present arrangement, with reduced capacity where necessary,

such that the optimal installed capacity does not exceed the maximum predicted MVA demand over a fifteen year period.

(b) two three phase units each of capacity equal to the lesser of either

the existing firm capacity or maximum predicted MVA demand over a fifteen year period.

Note: Generally two three phase units are of comparable cost to one

bank of four single phase units of the same capacity. However when the additional circuit breaker, bay, bus work and protection costs are taken into account the three phase option will not always be cheaper. For this reason, each case of this configuration must be considered individually.

3) For ten year maximum predicted loads of more than 10 MW being

supplied by 7 or 8 single phase units (two banks) the banks are optimised to three phase units and the optimal installed capacity reduced where necessary, such that the optimal installed capacity does not exceed the maximum predicted MVA demand over a fifteen year period. Where there are mismatched transformer capacities and the capacity is to be reduced, the mismatch should be reduced as much as possible.

4) For fifteen year maximum predicted loads of more than 10 MW being

supplied by 10 or 11 single phase units (three banks) the optimal arrangement becomes two three phase units and the optimal installed capacity reduced where necessary, such that the optimal installed capacity does not exceed the maximum predicted MVA demand over a fifteen year period.

Where, for other technical reasons, the optimal configuration would be three, three phase units, the optimal arrangement becomes three, three phase units subject to the same limitation on optimal installed capacity. An example would be the case where circuit breakers become the limiting factor and thus three transformers are required.

5) For 3, 4 and 2 (b) where three phase option is cheaper, the value of

the spare one phase unit(s) is evaluated as the difference between the cost of the optimal arrangement as above and the cost of providing a MEA in terms of firm capacity. The MEA will always be of the same number of units as the optimal arrangement.

Where the optimal arrangement is two, three phase units, the MEA for spare valuation will be two, three phase units, each of capacity equal to the lesser of the existing firm capacity or the maximum predicted MVA demand over a fifteen year period. Where the optimal arrangement is three, three phase units, the MEA for spare valuation will be three, three phase units, each of capacity equal to half the lesser of the existing firm capacity or the maximum predicted MVA demand over a fifteen year period.
