� replacement of protection and control schemes; and<br />
� implement revised maintenance practices.<br />
The <strong>capital</strong> cost of this option is $7.62 million ($June 2007).<br />
7.4.2 BENEFITS<br />
The benefits for this option are that it:<br />
� allows <strong>Transend</strong> to achieve the <strong>capital</strong> <strong>expenditure</strong> objectives;<br />
� addresses the safety issues associated with the 110 kV assets identified in section 4 of this document;<br />
� addresses the performance issues identified in section 4 of this document;<br />
� minimises transmission circuit outage duration during implementation and cutover; and<br />
� reduces the ongoing maintenance requirements and costs associated with the site.<br />
7.4.3 DRAWBACKS<br />
The drawbacks for this option are that it:<br />
� results in a higher initial <strong>capital</strong> cost than options 1 and 2;<br />
� requires re-configuration of the 110 kV switchyard;<br />
� requires re-arrangement of transmission line incoming spans; and<br />
� requires the installation of new disconnectors and bus work.<br />
7.4.4 CONCLUSION<br />
This option is technically viable.<br />

7.5 OPTION 5 - COMPLETE REDEVELOPMENT OF BURNIE SUBSTATION 110 KV<br />
7.5.1 SCOPE<br />
The scope for this option includes:<br />
� in-situ replacement of the existing live tank circuit breakers with dead tank units that have integral current<br />
transformers;<br />
� replacement of 110 kV disconnectors in situ;<br />
� replacement of gantry structures;<br />
� replacement of protection and control schemes; and<br />
� implement revised maintenance practices.<br />
The <strong>capital</strong> cost of this option is $8.10 million ($June 2007).<br />
7.5.2 BENEFITS<br />
The benefits for this option are that it:<br />
� allows <strong>Transend</strong> to achieve the <strong>capital</strong> <strong>expenditure</strong> objectives;<br />
� addresses safety issues associated with the 110 kV assets identified in section 4 of this document, in particular the<br />
110 kV current transformers;<br />
� addresses other performance, reliability and design issues identified in section 4 of this document;<br />
� improves operational functionality as new 110 kV disconnectors would be motorised and capable of remote<br />
operation; and<br />
� reduces the ongoing maintenance requirements and costs associated with the site.<br />
7.5.3 DRAWBACKS<br />
The drawbacks for this option are that it:<br />
