1.5 110 KV SUBSTATION REDEVELOPMENTS OVERVIEW<br />
<strong>Renewal</strong> Capital Expenditure<br />
TNM-GR-809-0929<br />
Issue 1.0, January 2009<br />
This section provides an overview of the 110 kV substation redevelopment projects that include the<br />
replacement of Reyrolle 110 kV circuit breakers. Table 2 presents an overview of the key assets<br />
that form the scope of each 110 kV substation redevelopment project. Although each of the projects<br />
is titled ‘substation redevelopment’ the extent of redevelopment varies on a case-by-case basis. For<br />
example the Burnie, Knights Road, Meadowbank and Palmerston substation redevelopment<br />
projects do not include the wholesale replacement of all 110 kV assets. Assets that have already<br />
been replaced or are considered to be in a serviceable condition will be retained in service where it<br />
is practicable and cost-effective to do so.<br />
The Arthurs Lake, Creek Road and Tungatinah substation redevelopment projects are full<br />
substation redevelopments because the vast majority of the assets are in a condition where<br />
wholesale replacement is required and it has been demonstrated that it is more cost-effective to<br />
undertake wholesale replacements rather than piecemeal targeted replacements. There is also a<br />
significant opportunity to realise considerable whole-of-life cost benefits (particularly with the<br />
Creek Road and Tungatinah substation redevelopment projects) by reconfiguring and rationalising<br />
the number of assets at the substations.<br />
The scope for each 110 kV substation redevelopment project has been developed taking into<br />
account a broad range of factors including the condition of all assets at the substation, future<br />
transmission network development needs and the optimal timing in the context of the total <strong>capital</strong><br />
works program and access to the transmission network to carry out the required works.<br />
Further details of the drivers for the asset replacements for each project are provided in the asset<br />
management plan relevant to the particular category and the investment evaluation summary for<br />
each project.<br />
