Coffeen St. - Adirondack <strong>New</strong> 345kV line<br />
Project to Enable Wind Generation<br />
Project Description:<br />
This project will accommodate approximately 550 MW of Wind projects located in the Watertown N.Y.<br />
area that is presently in the NYISO queue.<br />
Construct a new 345 kV transmission line between Coffeen Street substation in Watertown, NY and<br />
Adirondack substation in Taylorville, NY. This transmission line will be a single circuit tower utilizing a<br />
bundled conductor overhead construction. It will traverse Lewis and Jefferson counties. In addition,<br />
construct two transmission lines (anticipated 115 kV construction) from the town of Lyme to Watertown<br />
and the town of Henderson to Watertown. All facilities are located in NYISO Zone E.<br />
Project Size:<br />
A. Watertown to Adirondack Line traversing Lewis and Jefferson Counties<br />
Length: 40 miles<br />
Voltage: 345 kV<br />
Anticipated Construction: 2x 795 ACSR (26/7)<br />
Anticipated Rating (in MVA @ 345 kV): 1331<br />
B. Lyme to Watertown Line traversing Jefferson County<br />
Length: 16 miles<br />
Anticipated Voltage: 115 kV<br />
Anticipated Construction: 2x 795 ACSR (26/7)<br />
Anticipated Rating (summer normal MVA @ 115 kV): 444<br />
C. Watertown to Henderson Line traversing and Jefferson County<br />
Length: 25 miles<br />
Anticipated Voltage: 115 kV<br />
Anticipated Construction: 2x 795 ACSR (26/7)<br />
Anticipated Rating (in MVA @ 115 kV): 444<br />
<strong>New</strong> Terminal Stations and required upgrades:<br />
1. Add single 345 kV position at Adirondack substation<br />
(it is assumed here Adirondack Station has been previously rebuilt to 345 kV)<br />
2. Build Watertown 345 kV/ 115 kV collector station<br />
(it is presently anticipated that a nominally rated 448 MVA autotransformer<br />
will be required at this station as well as ample shunt compensation)<br />
