0BInvestment Evaluation Summary<br />

TNM-GS-809-0720<br />

Burnie Substation is critical to ensuring a secure and reliable electricity supply to customers in north-west Tasmania.<br />

Burnie Substation 110 kV provides:<br />

� an interconnection to Burnie Substation 220 kV via two 90 MVA auto-transformers (these transformers are currently<br />

being replaced with a single transformer under a separate project);<br />

� transmission lines to Emu Bay, Hampshire (radial), Port Latta, Sheffield and Smithton substations; and<br />

� two 110/22 kV transformers that supply connections to Aurora Energy.<br />

Figure 1 presents the schematic diagram of the north-west Tasmanian transmission network that connects to Burnie<br />

Substation.<br />

The majority of the 110 kV assets in service at Burnie Substation were installed when the substation was commissioned<br />

in 1952.<br />

2 PROJECT OVERVIEW<br />

The planned redevelopment of Burnie Substation 110 kV primarily includes the replacement of 110 kV circuit breakers,<br />

current transformers, and protection and control equipment and the installation of voltage transformers. The substation<br />

redevelopment will improve the security and reliability of electricity supply by replacing assets that are in poor condition<br />

and susceptible to failure.<br />
