Southwest Power Pool, Inc. Section 1: Purpose

SPP 2015 TPL-001-4 Short Circuit Planning Assessment For Selected UMZ Entities 5

Purpose

The objective of the 2015 TPL-001-4 Short Circuit Assessment (assessment) is to report findings from

the 2015 TPL-001-4 short circuit studies along with an associated evaluation of the study results in

support of SPP’s compliance, as a Planning Coordinator (PC), with the NERC TPL-001-4 Reliability

Standard.

The goals of this assessment are:

1. Determine whether circuit breakers have interrupting capability for Faults that they will be

expected to interrupt. (R2.3)

2. Report Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) to address the Equipment Rating violations. (R2.8)

This assessment focuses on certain transmission facilities in the SPP footprint of Corn Belt Electric

Cooperative (Corn Belt), Missouri Basin Municipal Power Agency (MRES), and Heartland Consumers

Power District (Heartland), collectively known as the Upper Missouri Zone Entities (UMZ Entities), and

summarizes potential criteria violations and the associated CAPs developed by the affected entities and

the SPP PC.

SPP 2015 TPL-001-4 Short Circuit Planning Assessment for Selected UMZ Entities 6

Models

The 2015 SPP Model Development Working Group (MDWG) short circuit models reflect system

conditions for the Near-Term Transmission Planning Horizon. These models are updated by TPs to

reflect the most current information using the Model On Demand (MOD) program. The SPP 2015 Series

MDWG Final Short Circuit Maximum Fault Models were used in the 2015 TPL planning studies as

reflected in Table 2.1.

Studies

3.1: TPL-001-4 Short Circuit Study

Analysis results on the SPP 2015 MDWG Final Short Circuit Maximum Fault models used for the PC

assessment were provided to the UMZ Entities. The UMZ Entities were also provided the option to

perform their own short circuit analysis in lieu of the PC provided results.

3.2: Simulation

Fault current values were determined for each bus modeled in SPP model areas using Power System

Simulation for Engineering (PSS/E) activities Automatic Sequencing Fault Calculation (ASCC) and

ANSI fault current calculation (ANSI) for Single Line to Ground and Three Phase faults. Results from

both activities included system intact faults and activity ASCC also included Line Out faults.

3.3: Corrective Action Plans and Member Review

The UMZ Entities evaluated the applicable results and provided CAPs to the PC, if necessary. If

necessary, the PC verified validity of the submitted CAPs.

Overview

This document presents the scope and schedule of work for the NERC TPL-001-4 Short Circuit

Assessment. This document will be reviewed by the Transmission Planning Task Force (TPLTF),

Transmission Working Group (TWG), and the applicable functional entities as described in NERC TPL-

001-4, A.4.1. SPP, as the Planning Coordinator (PC1), will coordinate with the Transmission Planners

(TP) to exchange data. The assessment begins in January 2015 and is a 12-month study scheduled to be

finalized by December 2015.

Data inputs

Modeling data

Modeling data required in the TPL Steady State study is incorporated through the annual SPP MDWG

model building process. The SPP MDWG model building process is performed in accordance with the

applicable NERC Modeling, Data, and Analysis (MOD) Standards. In order to meet the R1

requirements, the models must represent the following:

Existing Facilities

Known outage(s) of generation or Transmission Facility(ies) with a duration of at least six

months

New planned Facilities and changes to existing Facilities

Real and reactive Load forecasts

Known commitments for Firm Transmission Service and Interchange

Resources (supply or demand side) required for Load

However, these requirements are not applicable in determining the interrupting capability of circuit

breakers required for Faults for all system conditions. The System short circuit model with all planned

generation and Transmission Facilities in service is represented with the following additional

requirements:

Place all available facilities in-service:

o Generation

o Transmission lines (Out for maintenance)

o Transformers

o Buses

Flat – classical fault analysis conditions

The model set in the table below establishes category P0 as the normal System condition in TPL-001-4

Table 1, and defines the models that will be used for the 2015 TPL short circuit analyses. These models

were chosen to comply with requirement R2.3

Data required by the PC

Initial Data request

There is not an initial data request for ASCC results, because the PC will run a short circuit analysis on

all buses in the short circuit model within the PC footprint.

For TPs that require ANSI Fault Current calculation, each TP will provide to the PC the following ANSI

Fault Current Calculation parameters to be used for each bus within the TP area:

Divisors

o For branches in positive sequence

o For machines in positive sequence

o For branches in zero sequence

o For machines in zero sequence

Fault multiplying factors

o DC decrement only or AC and DC decrement

Max operating voltage, in PU

Contact parting times, in seconds

Subsequent Data request

Corrective Action Plans for instances where the short circuit current interrupting duty exceeds the

equipment rating.2 Use of Activity ANSI requires a second step involving line-out cases if the full bus-

fault current exceeds the interrupting capability of the breaker under review. The TP will provide a

listing of each bus number for which a line-out analysis is required for Activity ANSI to be performed

by the PC.

Southwest Power Pool, Inc. Section 7: 2015 TPL Short Circuit Scope

2015 SPP TPL-001-4 Short Circuit Assessment 20

Short Circuit Simulation

Analysis

The PC will send out the total Bus fault current study results for SLG and 3 phase faults to the TPs.

Full bus-fault current and line-out results using ASCC

Full bus-fault current using ANSI

o Line-out results for buses provided in subsequent request

The TPs can perform their own short circuit analysis in lieu of the PC provided results. The TP will

evaluate the results and respond to the PC with necessary Corrective Action Plans (CAPs) based upon

TP analysis/feedback and subsequent data request for the required ANSI line-out results. The PC will

verify the validity of the TP submitted CAPs.

Software parameters

PSS/E settings:

Run activity FLAT

o Set classical Short Circuit Assumptions (activity FLAT,CL)

Set Tap Ratios to unity (1.0)

Set Charging to zero (0.0)

Set Shunts to zero (0.0) in all sequences3

Use Automatic Sequence Fault Calculation (ASCC) function

o Three phase fault

o Line to Ground (LG) fault

o Line Out (LOUT) fault

o Impose flat conditions

o I”k contributions to “N” levels away

N=0

Use ANSI Fault Current Calculation (with defaults below unless alternate provided by TP)

o Divisors

For branches in positive sequence = 40.0

For machines in positive sequence = 80.0

For branches in zero sequence = 40.0

For machines in zero sequence = 80.0

o Fault multiplying factors = DC decrement only

o Output Format = Summary output using ANSI R and X

o Max operating voltage, in PU = 1.05

o Contact parting times, in seconds = 0.033

Short Circuit Output = Physical

Short Circuit Coordinates = Polar

3 Set line shunts to 0.0 in the positive (and hence negative) sequence, and fixed and switched shunts to 0.0 in all three sequence networks.

Changes in Process and Assumptions

In order to protect against changes in process and assumptions that could present a significant risk to the

completion of the TPL study, any such changes must be vetted. If TWG votes on any process steps or

assumptions to be used in the study, those assumptions will be used for the 2015 TPL study. Changes to

process or assumptions recommended by stakeholders must be approved by the TWG. This process will

allow for changes if they are deemed necessary and critical to the TPL study, while also ensuring that

changes, and the risks and benefits of those changes, will be fully vetted and discussed.
