Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Background of the Study Electricity infrastructure in Kurdistan region has been developed by United Nations Development Program (UNDP) based on Electricity Network Rehabilitation Programme (ENRP) during 1997 to 2003. During the period, many electricity generation facilities including small generation facilities for hospitals/public utlities have been constructed and transmission/distribution networks have been expaned. However, still in some substations have been operating under overload condition in some local area due to the unmaching between power supply & transmission network and demand. Under the above circumstances, Japanese Government and JICA have targeted the reconstruction project in the Electricity sector in Iraq as the one of most important development. Then, Japanes Government has provided Official Development Assistant such as the gratis fund aid in 2005-06 and the five-loan fund cooperation in 2007-09 as well. Electricity sector reconstruction project in Kurdistan region, which was implemented by JICA as the first stage assistance, is one of five- loan fund cooperation. Substation facilities have been constructed in the first stage of the assisitance. However, in the Kurdistan region, substation facilities are still insufficient due to enhancement of the power plants with increasing power demand. In addition, it is greatly necessary to construct the transmission lines connecting to substations. The trend of electricity demad can be seen as; The peak load in the Kurdistan region in 2012 was 3,279MW while 1,171MW in 2005, which means the peak load became about three times in 7 years. For the above reasons, it still needs to have further more supports for the transmission and substation sector in Kurdistan region, which becomes incentive for this Study. Theoretically, high voltage electricity transmission system drascally reduces power transmisin losses, which has similar effect of building new power generation station. Presently, RMEK has no 400kV system in Kurdistan area and the highest operating system voltage is 132kV. Infact, RMEK has just started constructing 400kV transmission lines and substations as the power sector reconstruction projects in the Kurdistan region. The construction of new 400 kV electricity system network will improve the tight electricity situation and power supply reliability, which results in regional social economic improvements and an enhanced quality of life. 1.2 Purpose and Activities 1.2.1 Purpose of the Study As per the above background, it is obvious that the construction of 400kV substations and transmission lines is in line with electricity development plan of RMEK. The purpose of the Study is to investigate the information required for the Yen-Loan Project such as the cost estimate, schedule, implementation, organizational structure, management, and social environment. 1.2.2 Area in Which to Conduct the Study Kurdistan region in The Republic of Iraq 1.2.3 Scope of the Study Works The followings are the targeted study items.

(3) Human development and employment policies

According to “Regional Development Strategy for Kurdistan 2013 – 2017”, the main policies on human development and employment in the next five years are as follows;

a) Goal of the policies

a1) Increasing labor productivity level for raising investment a2) Adopting training and rehabilitation programs in line with local manpower market needs. a3) Adopting a strategy to elevating women’s social and economic situation, and expanding their

choices and contribution opportunities, in addition to gender equality with regard to gaining access to available job opportunities.

a4) Empowering young groups and increasing their effective involvement in the issues that support development processes.

a5) Rearranging supplied and demanded manpower, and assessing actual development process needs, in addition to ensuring their quantitative and qualitative sectoral tendencies.

a6) Supporting the sectors that absorb large numbers of manpower (use of labor -intensive and low-capital production approaches, such as building and construction sector, and services sector), aimed to tackle disturbed manpower distribution structures among commodity and non-commodity sectors, and unemployment problem.

(2) Power costs and subsidy

According to the data of RMEK, even though there are some differences in the tariff categories, the range of the power cost in Kurdistan is located between 15¢/kWh (176 ID/kWh) and 16¢/kWh (187 kWh). Other hand, D-1 category (1~450 kWh) in domestic sector is 1.3¢/kWh (15 ID/kWh), the difference between the tariff and the cost is filled by subsidy from Ministry of Finance in Kurdistan. And the subsidy rate reaches 92 % (it is complement of “1.3¢/ kWh ÷ 16.3 ¢/kWh”). It is the highest subsidy in the tariff system.

Table 2.2.3 Costs and Subsidy of RMEK in 2012

Adversely, the tariff being higher than the cost is only D-7 category (over 5001 kWh) in domestic sector. The tariff is 16.8¢/kWh(200 ID/kWh)and the cost is 15.8¢/kWh (188.7 ID/kWh). In the categorized tariff system, it is only one category to exceed the own cost. Other words, D-7 category compensates the deficits of other categories in the tariff system. The tariffs in all sectors are subsidized by Kurdistan government. The subsidies for the tariffs present the Kurdistan governmental policies for livelihood protection and promotion of industry. The average subsidies by business sector described in descending order are as the following table.

2.2.3 Restructuring of Tariff System (1) Kind of subsidy and restructuring

The over 70 % of the total cost in Kurdistan power system is covered by the Governmental subsidy. According to “Public Policy on Subsidies Iraq Ministry of Electricity” by USAID in 2005, the kinds of the subsidy for the power sector in Iraq are classified as the following table.

Table 2.2.11 Subsidy types for power tariff in Kurdistan

When looking at the tariff system of Kurdistan as of March 2013, “Inter-Class Subsidy”, and “Intra-Class Subsidy” in the above table has been already solved. It seemed that “Capital expenditure subsidy”, “Fuel price subsidy” and “Operating cost subsidy” are continued, even though as of April 2013. The recommendations of USAID are mentioned as the following sentences after disconnecting Iraqi poverty policy from the power business.

Source : “Public Policy on Subsidies Iraq Ministry of Electricity” by USAID

The above recommendations can be applied to RMEK.

(2) Recommendation for tariff system

Parsons Brinckerhoff(PB)and RMEK published ”Master plan for the Electricity sector” in Nov 2009. In the master plan, the following recommendations on the subsidy are mentioned.

Source: “Master plan for the Electricity sector” in Nov 2009.

Additionally, the following tariff system from 2009 to 2015 is recommended to RMEK

The Ministry of Electricity should not be in the welfare business. A subsidy for the poor should be paid by the central government though the social security program designed and administered by the government. Either a voucher scheme or direct payments are potentially attractive options.

The tariffs should cover the full operating and investment costs for the supply of electricity in KRG by 2013. This is required by estimating the annual operating and fixed costs of the RMEK between 2009 and 2015. If subsidies are to be put in place, they will have to be financed from the country common purse. This common purse is limited and is required for all public sector projects. Thus subsidies for electricity will mean a delay in, or cancellation of, other infrastructure projects such as health, education and transportation. Subsidizing tariffs also encourages the non-economic use of electricity such as excessive consumption and the use of less efficient devices for cooking, lighting, cooling and entertainment. This has both economic and perhaps more importantly, environmental negative impacts.

Nowadays, the subsidy system for power sector from governmental budgets is introduced in world wide. And it is facts that some parts of power energy are used meaningless by the reason why lower power tariff is set by the subsidy system. The some subsidy system for the poor people is important policy for the governments in all countries. When considering current energy problems and global warming issues, efficient power utilization are sought to people in all countries. For promoting the policy and consideration, it is sought that the power tariff system is introduced for energy efficiency and conservation. In Kurdistan, it should be considered to introduce new power tariff system promoting energy efficiency and conservation.

Chapter 3 The Necessity and Validity of the Project 3.1 Power Demand in Kurdistan 3.1.1 Current Power Demand and Supply (1) Power demand and supply

According to RMEK, the need power demand grew by 17.1% per year for latest 5 years for 2007-2012. The estimated need power demand reached 2,295 MW in 2012 from 914 MW in 2007. When looking at the total power supply in Kurdistan regions over the past 5 years from 2007 to 2012, the power supply is increased from 487 MW in 2007 to 1,833 MW in 2012. The balance between the two is improved to 20 % deficiency rate in 2012 from 47 % deficiency rate in 2007. It means that domestic power supply is increased with extremely higher growth than demand growth. The following table provides potential power demand and power supply including power import from 2005 to 2012.

The distributed power percentage by business sector shows that the highest percentage was Residential use with 68 % in Erbil, 80 % in Duhok and 64 % in Sulaymani in 2012. Regarding Industry sector, Sulaymani has the share with 22% in 2012, however, Erbil and Duhok were around 2 %, it is smaller than Sulaymani comparatively. It can be considered that Industry sector is developed in Sulaymani more than Erbil and Duhok governorates in Kurdistan.

According to RMEK forecasting, the future power demand growth rate is 14.6 % per year from 2012 to 2017. As the actual demand growth rate was 17.1 % per year from 2007 to 2012, RMEK forecasts that the growth rate in the next five years is higher than the past five years. While, the future power supply (Power distribution + Social loss + Technical loss)outlook of RMEK is 20 % per year from 2012 to 2017, it is rather lower growth rate than the past five years with 30 % per year. Other hand, RMEK provides the following future peak loads forecasts to the JICA Survey Team as reference of the project.

d) The power supply from 2016 to 2020 is increased in company with the power demand increase during the years.

The results are as the following table. The Kurdistan power demand reaches 4,060 MW in 2017 (RMEK forecasts 5,800 MW as peak load in the year in their Master plan). And the power supply to continue the shortage for many years becomes equivalence to the power demand in 2015, the power supply increases to 4,060 MW in 2017 and 5,204 MW in 2020.

Despite this allocation of the power plants, the power flow and the voltage condition still cannot reach a stable power condition. The concerned points are shown in red-dotted areas in Figure 3.2.2. Details are shown in Table 3.2.2 and Table 3.2.3, there are substations where the voltage drops under 0.9 P.U. and also with two transmission lines causing an overflow.

Table 3.2.2 List of Low Voltage Substations Source: PSS/E data of 2013 provided from RMEK.

Table 3.2.3 List of Overflow Transmission Lines

Source: PSS/E data of 2013 provided from RMEK.

The voltage drop is critical and needs to be taken of urgent countermeasure, such as installing SVC (static Var Compensator) at the listed substations. Generally, in static state, the voltage should not go under 0.95 P.U. The Overflow seen as listed above, should be carefully investigated as the ERPK (Erbil Park) is in one of the vast load area. Rated capacity of 123 MVA transmission line in this area may not be enough. Expansion of capacity of the capacity by up-grading the lines or to added extra circuits to the existing lines will be necessary in the coming years. The JICA Survey Team will not go through cross section of this year 2013 as it does fairly reflect the situation in the Kurdistan Region where short outages occur throughout the day. 3.2.2 Present Power Development Plan The power development plan was provided from RMEK as shown in Table 3.2.4. The description of maximum dependable capacity in the year 2013 is 3,335 MW which is appropriately in range with the total capacity of power generation mentioned in the previous clause. By 2016, the total installed capacity of the power generation will reach 8,593 MW and the maximum dependable capacity will be 7,355 MW. This is both an amount more than twice as high when compared to the year 2013. This exponential growth of the power generation plan in only 3 years is based on the active investment arising in these years, to overcome power outages and to fulfil the rapid growing demand.

Table 3.2.5 shows the demand forecast from 2013 - 2020 also provided from RMEK along with the former list. It is seen that the maximum dependable capacity will overturn the load estimation in 2015. The compound annual growth rate from 2013 to 2020 will be 10.09% which is a very high amount prevising the Countries’ progress of the next decade. It is noteworthy that the growth rate of these few years is rising aggressively, while from that of later on the growth saturates and calms down.

3.2.3 Supply Demand and Transferring the Power in each Governorate Before 2010, Erbil and Duhok Governorate did not have connection of the power system in 132kV transmission line. In cases Duhok Governorate had to import power from Turkey to meet the high demand periods. Now, including Sulaymani, every Governorate in Kurdistan is connected via the 132kV transmission line.

The connecting points are as follows; a) Baadra - Erbil Power Plant in 1cct (Duhok - Erbil connection) b) Akra - Azadi Mobile Joint in 1cct (Duhok - Erbil connection) c) New Erbil - Dokhan Hydro in 1cct (Erbil - Bazian connection) d) Koya - Dokhan Hydro in 1cct (Erbil - Bazian connection) e) Erbil East - Tasluja in 2cct (Erbil - Bazian connection)

The power is capable to be transferred between the governorates by these connections. Figure 3.2.3 shows a supply and demand balance in the 2013 Kurdistan power system. Reserve capacity of the power supply is 11.5% for Duhok, 27.5% for Erbil and 7.4% for Sulaymani. All governorates have enough reserve capacity to fulfil the demand within the region and therefore, the general view towards transferring power between the governorates, are not so much of a high issue. Although with the fact that there are two main hydro power plants in Sulaymani; Dokhan and Derbandikhan, which in drought periods may not be able to supply enough power, it must be taken into consideration that there might be some unbalanced conditions at Sulaymani. *Generation values are based on installed capacity of each power plant.

*Load of Mosul Dam is included in Duhok governorate.

*Load of Dibis is included in Erbil governorate.

*Load of Kirkuk is included in Sulaymani governorate.

3.3 Power Network Planning 3.3.1 Situation of the Planned Power System RMEK also provided JICA Survey Team with the PSS/E data of 2020 Kurdistan power system. The JICA Survey Team also checked the situation of the cross section of this year. The total installed capacity of power generation was approximately 8,120MW and that of the total load was 7,550MW. Image of the planned 2020 power system in Kurdistan is shown in Figure 3.3.1. Source: by JICA Survey Team based on PSS/E data of 2020 provided from RMEK.

The main difference compared to the 2013 power system is the 400kV transmission line connecting west most Zakho to Duhok, Erbil, Bazian and the east most Said Sadek. Said Sadek is currently a 132/33/11kV substation. In this 2020 plan, it will be enhanced to 400kV. Based on the PSS/E data of the planned 2020 Kurdistan power system, the JICA Survey Team checked the future situation and found out that there are basically no issues to be concerned of. (Only a few minor issues resulting from modelling method have been observed.) Figure 3.3.2 shows the power flow analysis result of the 2020 Kurdistan power system. To make a clear view of the result, the power plants (machine model) is toggled into a single circle icon. The transmission lines drawn in a thick line (red line: 400kV, green line: 132kV) represents double circuit while that of a narrow line is for single circuit. There are 22 machine models seen to have been allocated in balance throughout the Kurdistan Region, as well as the situation was on the 2013 power system. The allocation has been appropriately considered to supply power in the concept of “regionally produced and consumed”. Source: PSS/E data of 2020 provided from RMEK.

The yellow colored part in the figure is the planned 400/132kV substation which the construction project has not been financed or neither has been chosen of the contractors. These are;

a) Gomaspan (Erbil governorate) b) Bazyan (Sulaymani governorate) c) Kalar (Sulaymani governorate) d) Arbat (Sulaymani governorate)

The latest planned is Bazyan where there will be a large industrial complex (mainly cement and relevant factories), attracting investment domestically and abroad. Kalar will be foreseeing a large capacity power plant (500 - 1,000MW by 2020) to have the power transferred from the southeast region of Kurdistan via 400kV transmission line. The other two; Gomaspan and Arbat, will be a substation without nearby connecting power plant, while feeding to 132kV load and is seen to contribute to the stability of the power system. Table 3.3.1 shows the list of these power plants. There are 15 power plants newly constructed in the 2020 plan compared to the existing ones in 2013. The mentioned power plants are as follows; [ in Duhok governorate ]

a) Deraluk Hydro Power Plant (73MW) b) Gali Balinda Hydro Power Plant (30MW) c) Bagova Hydro Power Plant (15MW) d) Mandawa Hydro Power Plant (155MW)

[ in Erbil governorate ]

a) Khabat Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) Power Plant (600MW) b) Constructed by POSCO Engineering & Construction Company (Korea). c) Harir Power Plant (200MW) d) Erbil Gas Power Plant (500MW) e) Constructed by Mass Group Holding Ltd.(MGH) (Kurdistan conglomerate). f) 1,000MW Erbil Gas Power Plant exists in an adjacent site. g) Khormala (Erbil) Power Plant (1,000MW) h) Constructed by KAR Group (Kurdistan conglomerate). i) Taqtaq Hydro Power Plant (68MW)

[ in Sulaymani governorate ]

a) Qala Diza HFO Power Plant (200MW) b) Kalar Gas Power Plant (500MW) c) Bazyan Gas Power Plant (500MW)

The JICA Survey Team has not obtained the detail information about the 400kV substations and transmission lines. As far as from the PSS/E data it can be found that there are around 10 of 400/132kV substations which are not functioning as only for power plant connection. Some of these substations that have already commenced of design, construction are as follows; Harir (Erbil) under construction by MGH including connecting transmission lines Khabat (Erbil) under construction by POSCO Erbil under construction by KAR

3.3.2 Supply Demand and Transferring the Power in Planned Power System In the 2020 plan, the supply and demand balance largely changes compared to the current 2013 situation. The 2020 plan shows no connection between Duhok and Erbil governorates via 132kV transmission line, instead building a firm connection with the 400kV transmission lines. The connecting points are as follows;

a) Duhok - Harir 400kV in 1cct (Duhok - Erbil connection) b) Duhok - Khabat 400kV in 1cct (Duhok - Erbil connection) c) Duhok - Erbil 400kV in 1cct (Duhok - Erbil connection) d) Gomaspan - Sulaymani West 400kV in 2cct (Erbil - Sulaymani connection) e) Harir - Hajiawa 132kV in 2cct (Erbil - Sulaymani connection) f) Taqtaq - Tasluja 132kV in 2cct (Erbil - Sulaymani connection)

Figure 3.3.4 shows a supply and demand balance in the planned 2020 Kurdistan power system. Compared to the situation in 2013 (Figure 3.2.3), the growing demand supresses the reserve capacity of the power supply to 14.4% in Erbil. In Duhok, development of a large scale gas power plant in Zakho and Duhok connected to 400/132kV substation supplies more than enough power to be consumed in the governorate, while in Sulaymani, the demand nearly equal to Erbil soars almost double the amount of the supply even though there are power development plans in Bazyan and Kalar. Despite the mentioned unbalance, the 400kV power system throughout the region will contribute to the power supply to be covering the deficiency in Sulaymani. It can be assumed that generally, the power flow will be in the direction of Duhok to Erbil. *Generation values are based on installed capacity of each power plant.

*Load of Dibis is included in Erbil governorate.

*Load of Kirkuk is included in Sulaymani governorate.

3.4 Necessity and Validity of the Project 3.4.1 Objective The power system analysis in this survey will be carried out to support the decision process of which 400kV power facilities to be formed as a project by Japanese ODA loan to be contributing to the future Kurdistan power system. In October 15th, 2012, KRG Ministry of Planning have approved and submitted a project proposal report to the Japanese Government for the implementation of the following power facilities;

a) Gomaspan 400/132kV substation with 2 x 250MVA transformer (Erbil) b) Arbat 400/132kV substation with 2 x 250MVA transformer (Sulaymani)

As mentioned in 3.3.1 Situation of the Planned Power System (Figure 3.3.3), the analysis will be leading the JICA Survey Team to the result of how the necessity and validity of these project formation can be. 3.4.2 Approach and Methodology The analysis is carried out with making an initial status based on the PSS/E data of 2020 Kurdistan power system provided from RMEK. This initial status will be assuming the period of the 400kV power facilities toward east from Harir and that of Bazian is not yet constructed; presumably few years before 2020. These assumptions are made from the fact that the substations of Harir, Khabat, Erbil and Bazian have already commenced of the construction project. The image of this initial status is shown in Figure 3.4.1. The heavy red-colored line shows the 400kV transmission lines that have started their operation and the lines in tinted color shows the transmission lines that would be under construction. Some red-colored lines that are arrowed at their end show the connection to the other regions outside Kurdistan with the analysis model to be represented only by the load model, for instance lines to Mosul and to Kirkuk. While the same lines to Turkey, Syria and Iran, including the one from Bazian to Kirkuk is not considered in the analysis model due to very little influence in the whole other power system (assumably, several tens MWs export). When making the initial status, the following adjustments and arrangements were done to the original PSS/E data by JICA Survey Team;

a) Regarding the base case as the peak load of the year 2020, the power plants (machine model) was assumed of the critical situation as below; No output from Dokhan Hydro Power Plant (due to severe drought period)

No output from Derbandikhan Hydro Power Plant (same as above)

Bazyan Power Plant still not constructed

b) Took off the substation models as “not in service” (the 400kV bus bar and 400/132kV transformer models) in Gomaspan, Arbat and Bazyan. *The transmission lines in Gomaspan substation connecting to 400kV bus bar had incoming and outgoing lines which has been dis-connected and by-passed.

c) The 400kV transmission line below is still not constructed. Bazian - Arbat (2cct)

Basically, when conducting power system analysis, the following study is considered. a) Power flow analysis (check power flow, voltage, etc.) b) Short circuit current analysis c) Transient stability analysis

To conduct full analysis including checking of the transient stability, takes months on condition that the integrity of the targeted power system data is confirmed with adequate set of sub data is available. Due to the limitation of the framework, the transient stability analysis will not be conducted in this survey. Nevertheless, this analysis will be necessary when the framework of the survey permits.

Having this initial status as the “base case”, the JICA Survey Team will be starting off with this case and modifying it to reach the conclusion in the following procedure; (1) Observe the condition of the base case by the analysis (2) If there are issues in (1), assume constructed and connected Gomaspan substation (3) If still are issues in (2), assume construction of Arbat substation and 400kV transmission lines from

Bazian to Arbat (4) If still are issues in (3), assume construction of Bazyan substation connecting power station in Bazyan

feeding power via 400kV transmission line. (5) If still are issues in (4), return back to the exactly same case as the 2020 power system

In case the study reaches (5), it means that the planned 2020 power system with all the 400kV power facilities is necessary to clear the issues.

Note that at the point of having the issues cleared, the JICA Survey Team will stop the analysis to conclude the case as the appropriate condition; static state. If there are no issues from 2), the JICA Survey Team will consider further analysis method, such as calculating short circuit current to confirm the stability and reliability of the power system up to 2020. 3.4.3 Calculation Premise Required criteria for the analysis will be as follows;

a) Voltage regulation of normal operation without any failure: 0.95 P.U. – 1.05 P.U. (5%)

b) Voltage regulation of normal operation in single failure 0.90 P.U. – 1.10 P.U. (10%)

c) Power flow: to be within rated transmission capacity (Considering N-12 condition, in 2 circuit lines, to be under 50%/circuit.)

Prerequisites for the analysis will be as follows;

a) Prerequisites up to preparing the base case is as mentioned in 3.4.2 Approach and Methodology. b) Power interchange resulting from assuming Dokhan, Derbandikhan Hydro Power Plant and

Bazyan Power Plant without any power output, will be done from Zakho Power Plant c) The tap ratios of the transformers will all be fixed. d) Minor issues seen from the original data in under 132kV power system is ignored.

3.4.4 Power Flow Analysis The power flow and the voltage condition for the planned 2020 power system of RMEK is shown in Figure 3.4.2. There are no deviation of the voltage range from normal operation and neither of overloaded transmission lines. The planned 2020 power system of RMEK can obviously be said that it has the necessary conditions fulfilled with the facilities to realize them. Needless to say, 400/132kV substation, Gomaspan and Arbat is included in the power system, which the JICA Survey Team will be focusing upon to confirm its validity and necessity.

2 General reliability of power system called “N-1 criteria”; Among the N units of the power system, even when 1 unit is shut down by accident,

the remaining N-1 unit holds (enables) the situation of the power system for stable power supply. (Not applied when in planned outage or maintenance.)

Summary of the power flow analysis results are as follows; a) The Base case had overload of 132kV transmission lines around Erbil and voltage drop of under

0.95 P.U. in Bazian. b) By adding Gomaspan substation into the 400kV power system, the over load under N-1

contingency will be cleared. Although, the voltage drop at around Bazian is not solved. c) In addition to above, adding Arbat and Bazyan substation with 400kV transmission line

connection between Bazian - Arbat and Duhok - Harir, gives solution to lessen the voltage drop areas almost to half of that in Base case and also to clear the overload between Duhok - Harir.

d) Lastly adding 400kV transmission line connection between Arbat - Bazyan to the above gives a total solution to the normal state of the power system. (Final Analysis case)

Note that, the point of the final power flow analysis (Final Analysis Case) is almost the same as the original planned 2020 power system, but with the difference of 400kV transmission line connection between Bazian - Bazyan (2cct) and Bazyan - Harir (1cct). 3.4.5 Short Circuit Current Analysis When expanding the power system, the newly connected power generator will have to be considered as the increase of short circuit current. As the planned 2020 power system of RMEK has a vast difference compared to the current power system, especially, around Erbil and Chamchamal- Bazian -Bazyan, where power plants of large capacity is to be constructed, the short circuit current is assumed to be rising up. The short circuit current will be calculated by causing a symmetrical three phase line short fault. The short circuit current of 2013 current power system is at maximum around 30kA for 132kV system and this is supposed to have, within the current power facilities to have the circuit breakers with enough rated breaking capacity of 40kA. The short circuit current of planned 2020 power system is at maximum over 50kA for 132kV system as shown in Figure 3.4.5 and in Table 3.4.1. According to the survey, 9 points exceed the 40kA and 7 points exceed 50kA. The actual maximum value of the short circuit current is 56.33kA seen at Erbil Substation 132kV side. Including Erbil Substation, buses at Erbil Gas Power Plant, Chamchamal and Bazian Substation has the same condition, with short circuit current exceeding 50kA. This short circuit current exceeding 50kA is practically an abnormal case where there is no manufacturer capable of supplying 132kV circuit breaker with breaking capacity exceeding this value. Even if 50kA, only few manufacture can provide 132kV switchgear equipment as special design. However, this result from the analysis of a critical case assumed by the JICA Survey Team as mentioned in clause 3.4.2 Approach and Methodology. From this situation, the JICA Survey Team conducted a further study by changing the models in PSS/E data as follows;

a) Disconnecting the bus tie in the 132kV side of the above substations b) Separating the bus in the 132kV side of the above substations

This is based on the fact that standard configuration of 400/132kV substations of REMK is consisting of a double bus bar. The result of this study is shown in Figure 3.4.6 and Table 3.4.2.

Note that the separation of the bus bars drastically decreases the short circuit current. As from Table 3.4.2 there are no short circuit exceeding 50kA. Still, 8 points exceed 40kA. The Bus No. 61 and 62 are the separated buses from Bazian substation and Chamchamal substation respectively for 132kV side, modified by the JICA Survey Team. Although still with the fact that the short circuit current is over 40kA, up-grading of the circuit breakers will be necessary in this future stage. At the moment this is not a level of an issue since, as mentioned before, the JICA Survey Team regards the base data of the analysis as a critical case. Moreover, the active demand towards construction of 400kV transmission line will allow more options of 132kV transmission line to be separated, which will contribute to decreasing the short circuit current. Also, as the power facilities are built, detailed study and design will be done to avoid these short circuit current situations. Conclusion of the power flow analysis will be as follows;

a) All the 400/132kV substations in the 2020 planned power system are necessary. b) Some 400kV transmission lines connecting the above substation can be considered an option for

the situation beyond 2020. c) Short circuit current in 2013 is at maximum approximately 30kA. d) Few substations’ 132kV bus has short circuit current exceeding 50kA in 2020, but this can be

reduced to lower than 50kA by operation of separating buses at 132kV side of each substation. Based on this conclusion and with the following facts, constructing the 400/132kV substation; Gomaspan and Arbat will be the most suitable project formation by the Japanese ODA loans.

a) Within the candidate substations, Bazyan which is to be, at the moment, constructed by RMEK’s own resources and in future, Kalar which will be connecting a large capacity power plant not yet fully planned, will rather be far from linking it to credit from abroad.

b) As mentioned in 3.4.1 Objective, KRG Ministry of Planning have approved and submitted a project proposal report to the Japanese Government for the implementation of Gomaspan and Arbat substations.

Chapter 4 Selection of the Substation Locations and Transmission Line Routes

4.1 Required Conditions of Site Location and Route 4.1.1 Substation The substation is designed and constructed based on the Design Condition of Substation, such as Topographical conditions, Electrical criteria, Standards and Technical Specification etc., which are descried in Chapter 6. The sizing of the substation is basic factor to select the construction site and the typical layout drawing of the Substation is shown in Figure 6.1.3 (Chapter 6). The layout drawing includes the temporally working area and storage area etc. considering site construction works. The substation sites shall be selected to suite the accommodation of the whole substation facilities. 400kV and 132kV transmission lines routes, regardless existing or planned, also shall be considered to select the site of the substation which shall be connected/diverted the new Substation. Access road from existing main road to the new substation shall be constructed during the project implementation and then, the location of the main road shall also be taking into consideration. Environmental and social issues for the substation sites are described in Chapter 5. 4.1.2 Transmission Line The transmission line is designed and constructed based on the Design Condition of Transmission Line, such as Topographical conditions, Electrical criteria, Standards and Technical Specification etc., which are descried in Chapter 6. The scale of transmission towers are shown in Figure 6.2.1 and 6.2.2. The typical conductors/ground wires, insulators, foundation are also shown in Chapter 6. The transmission line route shall be selected to pass though straight and to become minimalized distance as possible as it can. Access road to each tower site shall be constructed during the project implementation and then, the transportation method for materials and equipment to mountainous tower site shall also be taking into consideration by individual site conditions. Environmental and social issues for the transmission line routes are described in Chapter 5.

4.2.2 Transmission Line Route Since the planned transmission line route between Bazian Substation and Arbat Substation has been already selected by RMEK, local consultants hired by the JICA Survey Team conducted a site survey along the route. The total length of the route is around 69 km. The outline of the route is described in Clause 5.4.4. The route passes though mountainous areas, and then there are sites where the maximum altitude difference is more than 600 m (Figure 4.2.7, 4.2.8). Therefore, transportation and construction methods at these sites shall be examined carefully by detail site survey at the project implementation stage.
