Summary


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>The Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) has approved this format in accordance withthe requirements of the Electricity Regulation Act 1999.The National GridThe national grid plays a vital role in the supply of electricity. In simple terms, it transportspower from generators to demand centres using a system comprising 400 kV, 220 kV and110 kV networks. The 400 kV and 220 kV networks form the backbone of the grid. They havehigher power carrying capacity and lower losses than the 110 kV network. The 400 kV linescross the country providing a high capacity path for power flows between north and southDublin, Galway and the Moneypoint generation station in Co. Clare. The 220 kV networkcomprises a number of single circuit loops around the country. The 110 kV network is themost extensive part of the grid, reaching into every county in the Republic of Ireland.The grid is planned and developed to ensure it meets projected transmission needs whilemaintaining its performance within defined reliability standards. The analysis of currentperformance indicates that the network is within standards in most areas at this time. Tocontinue to meet standards, in the context of forecast demand and new generationconnections, there is a requirement for ongoing development to reinforce the grid. Thetransmission development projects, selected and planned by the TSO as at the time of theTFS <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong> data freeze date (July 2009), are listed in Section B.2 of Appendix B and areincluded in the short circuit and ITC analyses carried out for TFS <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong> Ver 2.0.Projects selected and planned since July 2009 are listed in Section 1.4.Single Electricity MarketIn November 2007, a Single Electricity Market (SEM) was established on the island ofIreland. The all-island wholesale electricity market allows both Northern Ireland and theRepublic of Ireland to benefit from increased competition, reduced energy costs andimproved reliability of supply.The national grid is electrically connected to the transmission system of Northern Irelandby means of one 275 kV double circuit connection at Louth and two 110 kV connections atLetterkenny in Co. Donegal and Corraclassy in Co. Cavan. EirGrid and Northern IrelandElectricity (NIE) are planning a new 400 kV cross-border circuit, which is due to be installedby 2012. Together with other reinforcements, the new circuit will facilitate a greater degreeof flexibility in the new market. In the context of the SEM, all cross-border circuits areessentially internal circuits in the new market.InterconnectionIn July 2006, Minister Noel Dempsey TD, then Minister for Communications, Marine andNatural Resources, requested that the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) arrange acompetition to secure the construction of a 500 MW East-West interconnector betweenIreland and Great Britain. The CER was also requested to instruct the TSO to carry out theS-2


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>technical work of selection of a sub-sea route and other sites for the construction of theinterconnector and necessary grid reinforcement works.As recommended by the TSO, the CER has since approved the choice of Woodland as theconnection point on the Irish system for the interconnector. Deeside in North Wales hasbeen selected as the connection point on the British system. The interconnector is expectedto be in place by 2012.Demand ForecastsThe projections of demand for electricity are largely based on forecasts of economic growthproduced by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI). The projections arecompatible with provisional demand figures intended for inclusion in the GenerationAdequacy Report <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>.The grid must be capable of transporting power flows for varying levels of demand.However, the flow at peak demand is frequently, although not exclusively, the mostonerous. The projections of demand flows at peak are discussed in Chapter 3. Table S-1shows the forecasts of peak transmission demand for the years <strong>2010</strong> to <strong>2016</strong>. These areequivalent to projections of peak exported generation requirements. Appendix C presentsforecasts of demand at each station connected to the grid. Forecasts of transmission flowsat peak take account of non-wind embedded generation. Because of its size and variability,transmission and distribution-connected wind generation is modelled explicitly in theanalyses carried out for this TFS.In overall terms, the TSO expects that the peak demand will increase by approximately 2.0%each year over the period of the TFS, which is 0.9% lower than that expected inTransmission Forecast Statement 2008-2014. As such, the peak projections to <strong>2016</strong> arelower than for the same years in Transmission Forecast Statement 2008-2014.Table S-1 Forecast of Peak Transmission DemandYearPeak Demand (MW)<strong>2010</strong> 4,6362011 4,7252012 4,8482013 4,9412014 5,0372015 5,134<strong>2016</strong> 5,233S-3


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>The results of the analysis point to opportunities at the majority of the stations tested.Figure S-1 shows the opportunities for new demand in 2013 and <strong>2016</strong>. The diagrams showthat there will be significant demand opportunities in most parts of the country in bothyears. The TSO is currently considering plans for network developments that will improveopportunities for increased demand in Dublin and the south-east.2013 <strong>2016</strong>


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>for transmission. Connection of new generation and large point demands can result in astep change in grid requirements and in its ability to operate within standards. Inparticular, large generator connections can give rise to the need for large transmissionreinforcement projects that may take a long time to complete. Developers wishing toconnect should consult the TSO early in their development process to explore optionsrelating to their proposal thus enabling timely decision making.Those who are considering connecting generation or demand to the national grid shouldcontact the TSO at info@eirgrid.com for further information.Members of the Transmission Forecast Statement Team.

<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>1 INTRODUCTIONThe national grid is a high voltage system of networks which transports power fromgenerators to demand centres. The flow of power is determined by the levels of demand atall parts of the system and by the size and location of generation supplying that demand.Interconnection with other systems can be a source of generation or a demand for power.Transmission Forecast Statement <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong> Ver 2.0, prepared in accordance with Section38 of the Electricity Regulation Act, 1999, presents factual information on, and currentTransmission System Operator (TSO) projections for, the grid, electricity demand,generation, and interconnection with other electricity systems. The appendices providecustomers with detailed information to carry out their own power flow analysis, if desired.The TSO published its Generation Adequacy Report <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong> (GAR) in November 2009. Thatdocument deals with the requirement for additional generation capacity to meet forecastdemand over the seven-year period to <strong>2016</strong>. In so far as possible the GAR complements thedemand information presented in Transmission Forecast Statement <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>.The TSO published its Transmission Development Plan 2008-2012 in July 2009. The planprovides details of the network developments expected to be progressed in the 2008-2012period, which are accounted for in this TFS.1.1 OUTLINE OF THE <strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong>Chapter 2 describes the existing transmission network, including connections with NorthernIreland, and provides a brief outline of the TSO’s network development plans. Detaileddescriptions of these plans are presented in Transmission Development Plan 2008-2012,which was published in July 2009. These documents present a snapshot of the developmentplans at a point in time. However, the planning and development process is dynamic andmay be refined in light of more up-to-date information. As such, network development plansshould be confirmed with the TSO before any business decisions are taken based on thecontent of this document. Maps, schematic diagrams and network details are included inAppendix A and Appendix B. Geographical maps of the transmission system are provided inA3 format in Appendix I.Chapter 3 describes the demand forecasts and Chapter 4 describes the generationprojections. Details of the demand forecasts and generation assumptions are in Appendix Cand Appendix D respectively.The assumptions presented in Chapters 2 to 4 form the basis of the short circuit currentspresented in Chapter 5 and the analysis of transfer capabilities described and reported inChapters 6 to 8. Appendix E presents forecast short circuit currents at all grid stations.1-1


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>Chapters 7 and 8 contain information on the opportunities for generator and demandconnections.Diagrams are presented in Appendix J which show typical power flows on all grid circuits fora number of different conditions.1.2 TREATMENT OF THE SINGLE ELECTRICITY MARKETIn November 2007, a Single Electricity Market (SEM) was established on the island ofIreland. The all-island wholesale electricity market allows both Northern Ireland and theRepublic of Ireland to benefit from increased competition, reduced energy costs andimproved reliability of supply.The national grid is electrically connected to the transmission system of Northern Irelandby means of one 275 kV double circuit connection at Louth and two 110 kV connections atLetterkenny in Co. Donegal and Corraclassy in Co. Cavan. The TSO and Northern IrelandElectricity (NIE) are planning a new 400 kV cross-border circuit, which is due to be installedby 2012. Together with other reinforcements, the new circuit will facilitate a greater degreeof flexibility in the new market. In the context of the SEM, all cross-border circuits willessentially become internal circuits in the new market.In order to reflect the way in which the transmission systems of the Republic of Ireland andNorthern Ireland operate, the network was assessed with generation dispatched on an allislandbasis in network models. As such, flows of power across cross-border circuits werepermitted in the short circuit and power flow analyses carried out for TFS <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>. It isimportant to note however that only the performance and capability of the transmissionsystem of the Republic of Ireland is considered. The performance and capability of thetransmission system of Northern Ireland is addressed in SONI’s Transmission System SevenYear Statement.1.3 TREATMENT OF INTERCONNECTIONIn July 2006, Minister Noel Dempsey TD, then Minister for Communications, Marine andNatural Resources, requested that the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) arrange acompetition to secure the construction of a 500 MW East-West interconnector betweenIreland and Great Britain. The CER was also requested to instruct the TSO to carry out thetechnical work of selection of a sub-sea route and other sites for the construction of theinterconnector and necessary grid reinforcement works.As recommended by the TSO, the CER has since approved the choice of Woodland as theconnection point on the Irish system for the interconnector. Deeside in North Wales hasbeen selected as the connection point on the British system. The interconnector is expectedto be in place by 2012.1-2


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>1.4 DATA MANAGEMENTSystem development is continuously evolving. In order to carry out analyses and to updatethe network models and appendices for the TFS <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong> Ver 2.0, the TSO froze all datarelating to demand, generation and the grid at the beginning of July 2009.Since the data freeze date, a number of changes in projections have emerged. Thesechanges have been documented and discussed in Chapter 2. The more significant changesin projections are as follows:Connection agreements for 324 MW of Transmission connected generation:−−−−Cuilleen 98.4 MW OCGT plant at Athlone, Co. Westmeath;Suir 98 MW OCGT plant at Cahir, Co. Tipperary;Caulstown 58 MW OCGT Peaking Plant at Caulstown, Co. Louth;70 MW pumped storage plant at Knocknagreenan, Co. Cork.The following grid developments have been initiated as projects:−−−−−−−−Uprating of the Cahir-Doon 110kV line;Uprating of the Great Island-Waterford No.1 110kV line;Uprating of the Limerick-Monateen 110kV line;Uprating of the Cathaleen’s Fall-Coraclassy 110kV line;Uprating of the Carrigadrohid-Kilbarry 110kV line;Uprating of the Coolroe-Inniscarra 110kV line;Construction of a new 110 kV station at Oranmore, Co.

<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>2 THE ELECTRICITY <strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> NETWORK2.1 OVERVIEW OF THE ELECTRICITY <strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> NETWORKThe national grid plays a vital role in the supply of electricity, providing the means totransport power from the generators to the demand centres using a system comprising400 kV, 220 kV and 110 kV networks. The national grid is electrically connected to thetransmission system of Northern Ireland by means of one 275 kV double circuit connectionat Louth and two 110 kV connections at Letterkenny in Co. Donegal and Corraclassy in Co.Cavan.The 400 kV and 220 kV networks form the backbone of the grid. They have higher capacityand lower losses than the 110 kV network. The 400 kV network provides a high capacity linkbetween Moneypoint generation station and Galway on the west coast and Dublin on theeast. The 220 kV network comprises a number of single circuit loops around the country.Typically large generation stations (greater than 100 MW) are connected to the 220 kV or400 kV networks.The 110 kV 1 lines, which constituted the entire transmission system prior to the 1960s,provide parallel paths to the 220 kV system. It is the most extensive element of the grid,reaching into every county in the Republic of Ireland.The transmission system generally comprises overhead lines, except in limitedcircumstances, such as in the city centres of Dublin and Cork, where underground cablesare used. Table 2-1 presents the total lengths of overhead lines 2 and cables at the differentvoltage levels. Revision of individual line lengths are subject to confirmation followingcompletion of network development projects.Table 2-1 Total Length of Existing Grid Circuits as at July 01 st 2009Voltage Level Total Line Lengths (km) Total Cable Lengths (km)400 kV 439 0275 kV 42 0220 kV 1,725 104110 kV 3,905 531 A number of radial 110 kV lines around the country and the 110 kV lines and cables within DublinCity are currently operated by the Distribution System Operator (DSO). The DSO licence is held byESB Networks. Details of the distribution network in Dublin are not included in this TransmissionForecast Statement.2Some lines may contain short sections of cable.2-1


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>Transformers are required to link the different voltage networks, providing paths for powerto flow from the higher to the lower voltage networks. The total transformer capacitybetween the different voltage levels is presented in Table 2-2.Table 2-2 Total Grid Transformer MVA Capacity as at July 01 st 2009 3Voltage Level Capacity (MVA) Number of transformers400/220 kV 2,550 5275/220 kV 1,200 3220/110 kV 8,989 47Reactive compensation devices are used to improve network voltages in local areas.Existing reactive devices connected to the grid include shunt capacitors, static varcompensators (SVCs) and shunt reactors. Table 2-3 shows the total amounts of each type.Capacitors and SVCs help to support local voltages in areas where low voltages mayotherwise occur. Shunt reactors suppress voltages in areas where they would otherwise betoo high, most likely during periods of low demand.Table 2-3 Total Reactive Compensation as at July 01 st 2009 4Voltage Level Type Capacity (Mvar) Number of devices400 kV Line Shunt Reactor 160 2220 kV Shunt Reactor 100 1110 kV Static Var Compensator 90 2Switched ShuntCapacitor575 262.2 EXISTING CONNECTIONS WITH NORTHERN IRELANDAs illustrated in Figure 2-1, the national grid is connected to Northern Ireland via three275 5 /220 kV transformers in Louth station, one 600 MVA unit and two ganged 6 300 MVAunits, connected to a double circuit 275 kV line running from Louth to Tandragee in Co.Armagh. In addition to the main 275/220 kV double circuit, there are two 110 kVconnections, one between Letterkenny in Co. Donegal and Strabane in Co. Tyrone, and theother between Corraclassy in Co. Cavan and Enniskillen in Co. Fermanagh. The purpose ofthese 110 kV circuits is to provide support to either system for certain conditions or in theevent of an unexpected circuit outage. Phase shifting transformers in Strabane andEnniskillen are used to control the power flow under normal conditions.3Transformer details are provided in Tables B-6, B-7 and B-8 in Appendix B.4Details of existing reactive compensation devices are provided in Table B-10 in Appendix B.5 The transmission system in Northern Ireland is operated at 275 kV and 110 kV.6Plant connected in parallel through common switchgear.2-2


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>2.3.5 400 kV line to Northern IrelandA new 400 kV line between the national grid and Northern Ireland is currently beingprogressed by the TSO and Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE). The line will connect into anew 400/220 kV station, probably located in Co. Cavan, provisionally referred to as theMid-Cavan station elsewhere in this TFS.In the event of a loss of the existing 275 kV double circuit connecting the national grid toNorthern Ireland, the pre-fault transfers would be directed across the Letterkenny-Strabaneand Corraclassy-Enniskillen 110 kV cross-border circuits. In this instance, to guard againstdamage to these lines, protection equipment will switch out the 110 kV circuits resulting inseparation of the two systems.System separation, depending on the pre-separation flow on the Louth-Tandragee 275 kVdouble circuit, may result in a generation surplus on one system and a deficit on the other.The system with a supply deficit may be required to disconnect demand customers. Thesystem with the supply surplus may have difficulty stabilising the system frequency. Theimpact of potential system separation on each system can result in constraints on theamount of power that can be transferred between the two systems.The new circuit will provide an alternative high capacity path for power flows in the event ofthe loss of the existing circuits. It will therefore overcome the system separation issue andalleviate constraints on power transfers between the two systems. The project is expectedto be completed in 2012.2.3.6 400 kV line from Woodland to Mid-CavanA 400 kV line is planned from the existing Woodland 400 kV station northwards to theplanned Mid-Cavan 400/220 kV station. Together with the planned 400 kV line from Mid-Cavan to Northern Ireland this will further strengthen the link between the two transmissionsystems. It is expected to be completed in the second half of 2012.2.3.7 East-West InterconnectorIn July 2006, the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources requestedthat the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) arrange a competition to secure theconstruction of a 500 MW East-West interconnector between Ireland and Great Britain. TheCER was also requested to instruct the TSO to carry out the technical work of selection of asub-sea route and other sites for the construction of the interconnector and necessary gridreinforcement works.In July 2007 the CER approved the choice of Woodland as the connection point on the Irishsystem for the interconnector, as recommended by the TSO. Following the signing of a2-5


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>connection agreement with National Grid UK in September 2007, Deeside in North Wales hasbeen selected as the connection point on the British system. The interconnector is expectedto be in place by 2012.2.3.8 Finnstown 220 kV DevelopmentFinnstown 220 kV station, in west County Dublin, will be connected into the existingInchicore-Maynooth No. 1 and No. 2 220 kV lines. A number of the existing 110 kV lines inthe area will be connected to the new Finnstown station, ensuring that adequateinfrastructure is in place to meet the increasing electricity demand in the West Dublin areaand reducing the risk of loss of supply at winter peak and during maintenance outages. Thisproject is due for completion in 2013.2.3.9 Balgriffin 220 kV DevelopmentBalgriffin 220 kV station, in north County Dublin, will be connected to the 220 kV networkby an underground cable from Finglas. A number of the existing 110 kV lines in the area willbe connected to the new Balgriffin station, ensuring that adequate infrastructure is in placeto meet the increasing electricity demand in the North East Dublin area and reducing therisk of loss of supply at winter peak and during maintenance outages. This project is duefor completion in 2013.2.3.10 Kilpaddoge 220 kV DevelopmentKilpaddoge 220 kV station, in north Co. Kerry, will be connected into the existingClashavoon-Tarbert and Killonan-Tarbert 220 kV lines. A number of 110 kV lines will beconnected into the new station, making Kilpaddoge a new hub for power flows into thesouth-west. Kilpaddoge 220/110 kV project is needed to accommodate the plannedgeneration in the south-west and the refurbishment of the existing Tarbert 220 kV. Thisproject is due for completion in 2013.2.3.11 Moneypoint-Kilpaddoge 220 kV CircuitA planned new submarine cable across the Shannon estuary from Moneypoint in Co. Clare toKilpaddoge in north Co. Kerry will create a necessary new path for power out of the Dublin-Moneypoint group of generators into the south-west and a path for power out of the southwestto the 400 kV network. It is expected to be completed in 2013.2.3.12 Ballyvouskill 220 kV DevelopmentBallyvouskill 220 kV station will be looped into the existing Clashavoon-Tarbert 220 kVline.

<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>3 DEMANDThe flow of power on the grid is determined largely by the generation feeding into it and thedemand that is drawn from it. This chapter deals with forecasts of the total peak demand onthe transmission network, and of demand at individual transmission-connected stations.The Generation Adequacy Report <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong> (GAR), published by the Transmission SystemOperator (TSO) in November 2009, contains forecasts of future energy consumption anddemand for the seven-year period to <strong>2016</strong>.3.1 <strong>FORECAST</strong>S OF <strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> PEAKSTable 3-1 presents the forecasts of transmission demand for the seven years <strong>2010</strong> to <strong>2016</strong>,as they were expected to be published in the GAR. It should be noted that these forecastswere the best available projections during the preparation of this statement. Ultimately,the figures published in the GAR <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong> may differ slightly.While it is difficult to accurately predict a peak demand figure for a particular year, theforecasts in Table 3-1 may be taken as indicative of a general trend in demand growth.Three demand values are presented for each year: the winter peak, the summer peak andthe summer valley.Table 3-1 Transmission Demand Forecast, MWYear Summer Peak Summer Valley Winter Peak<strong>2010</strong> 3,709 1,669 4,6362011 3,780 1,701 4,7252012 3,878 1,745 4,8482013 3,953 1,779 4,9412014 4,029 1,813 5,0372015 4,107 1,848 5,134<strong>2016</strong> 4,186 1,884 5,233The winter peak figures represent the expected annual peak demands that are forecast tooccur in the October to February winter period of each year e.g., the <strong>2010</strong> forecast of4,636 MW is the maximum demand projected to occur in winter <strong>2010</strong>/11. These peakforecasts take account of the influence of demand-side management (DSM) schemes, suchas the TSO’s winter peak demand reduction scheme (WPDRS). In winter 2008/09, DSMaccounted for approximately 138 MW of a reduction to the peak demand. This amount ofDSM is assumed to continue over the next eight years.The summer peak refers to the average peak value between March and September. This istypically 20% lower than the winter peak. While the overall grid power flow may be lower insummer than in winter, this may not be the case for flows on all circuits. In addition, the3-1


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>capacity of overhead lines is lower because of higher ambient temperatures, while networkmaintenance, normally carried out in the March to September period, can weaken thenetwork, further reducing its capability to transport power.The annual minimum is referred to as the summer valley in this TFS. Summer valley casesexamine the impact of less demand and less generation dispatched. This minimumcondition is of particular interest when assessing the capability to connect new generation.With local demand at a minimum, the connecting generator must export more of its poweracross the grid than at peak times. The forecasts of summer valley demands in Table 3-1assume a figure of 36% of the annual maximum demand, which is consistent with historicalsummer valley demand data.3.1.1 Peak Out-turn for Winter 2008/09The peak exported demand in winter 2008/09 was 4,873 MW. This figure is 269 MW lowerthan the transmission peak forecast for winter 2008/09 of 5,142 MW presented inTransmission Forecast Statement 2008-2014. At the time of peak the production from windgeneration was 222 MW. The high peak figure indicates the difficulty in accuratelypredicting the maximum demand in a particular year. Peak demands may be higher or lowerthan forecast depending on factors such as weather conditions and customer behaviour.The TSO will continue to monitor future peaks and adjust its forecasts accordingly.3.2 COMPARISON WITH PREVIOUS DEMAND <strong>FORECAST</strong>Table 3-2 compares the winter peak transmission demand forecasts in this TFS with thosegiven in Transmission Forecast Statement 2008-2014. The current demand forecasts reflectan average increase in winter peak demand of 2.0% over the period <strong>2010</strong> to <strong>2016</strong>. This islower than last year’s forecast average annual increase to 2014. Table 3-2 presents thedifferences between the peaks forecast in the previous TFS and the current forecasts. Thenew peaks forecast are lower than last year’s forecasts as a consequence of the decrease inthe expected rate of demand growth.Table 3-2 Comparison of Peak Demand Forecast with Previous TFS, MW<strong>2010</strong> 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 <strong>2016</strong>TFS <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong> 4,636 4,725 4,848 4,941 5,037 5,134 5,233TFS 2008-2014 5,442 5,600 5,762 5,930 6,102 N/A N/ADifference -806 -875 -914 -989 -1,065 N/A N/A3.3 <strong>FORECAST</strong> DEMAND AT <strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> INTERFACE STATIONSTransmission interface stations are the points of connection between the transmissionsystem and the distribution system, or directly-connected customers. These are mostly3-2


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>110 kV stations. In Dublin city, where the Distribution System Operator (DSO) operates the110 kV network, the interface is usually at 220 kV stations.Appendix C lists the forecast demands at each transmission interface station at time ofwinter peak, summer peak and summer valley for all years from <strong>2010</strong> to <strong>2016</strong>. Demandprojections at individual transmission stations are developed from the system demandforecasts on a top-down basis. The forecasting process includes regular monitoring andreview of trends in consumption in all parts of the country. The allocation of the systemdemand forecast to each station is based pro-rata on an up-to-date measurement of actualpeak demand at each station. Account is taken of planned transfers of demand betweenstations as agreed with the DSO. In this way, changes in the geo-diversity of electricityconsumption are captured. This process provides a station demand forecast and byextension a regional demand forecast for the short to medium term.The system-wide demand forecasts, presented in Table 3-1, include transmission losseswhereas the individual station demand forecasts do not. Transmission losses thereforeaccount for the difference between the system-wide demand forecasts and the sum of theforecasts at each interface station in Appendix C.Demand forecasts for the small number of directly-connected customers are the current bestestimates of requirements. In some cases, the estimates may be less than contractedMaximum Import Capacity (MIC) values, but are chosen to give a better projection ofexpected demand on a system-wide basis. However, when analysing the capacity for newdemand in a particular area, the MIC values of local directly-connected customers areassumed to ensure that the contracted MIC is reserved.Although demand-side management schemes are expected to reduce some industries'demands over winter peak hours, their normal demand levels are included in the winterpeak demand forecasts shown in Table C-1 in Appendix C and are used in the power flowdiagrams in Appendix J, as they are more indicative of general power flows.3.4 DEMAND PROFILESElectricity usage follows some generally accepted patterns. For example, annual peakdemand occurs between 17.00 and 19.00 on winter weekday evenings, while minimum usageoccurs during summer weekend night-time hours. Figure 3-1 shows the profile for theweekly peaks across the year for 2008.Figure 3-2 presents four daily demand profiles that indicate how electricity usage variesthroughout the day. The demand profiles are for the day on which the annual peak occurredin 2008 as well as profiles for typical summer and winter weekdays and for the minimumdemand day. The profiles, with demand levels ranging from approximately 1,820 MW to3-3


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>4,873 MW, indicate that the power system deals with a wide variation in demand throughoutthe year. Even within the day demand variations are substantial.Figure 3-2 illustrates that on the winter peak day the peak demand is almost twice theminimum demand on that day, a variation of over 2,513 MW. A number of points on thisdiagram, the winter peak (WP), typical summer peak (SP) and summer valley (SV) demands,are examined in the analyses undertaken for this TFS.Peak Demand (MW)5000480046004400420040003800360034000 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55WeekFigure 3-1 Weekly Peak Values for Year 20085500Exported Demand (MW)5000450040003500300025002000WPSP1500SV10000 6 12 18 24HourWinter Peak Typical Winter Typical Summer Summer MinimumFigure 3-2 Daily Demand Profiles for Year 20083-4

<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>4 GENERATIONThis chapter gives information about existing generation capacity and projections for theseven years to <strong>2016</strong>. All generation capacity and dispatch figures in this TransmissionForecast Statement (TFS) are expressed in exported or net terms i.e., generation unit outputless the unit’s own auxiliary load.On the 01 st of July 2009, when data was frozen in order to permit TFS analyses to be carriedout, some 7,250 MW (net) of generation capacity was installed in the Republic of Ireland. Ofthis 6,454 MW is connected to the national grid and 796 MW is connected directly to thedistribution system. Sections 4.1 to 4.4 detail planned developments with respect togeneration over the period covered by this TFS.4.1 EXISTING AND PLANNED GRID-CONNECTED GENERATIONThe 6,454 MW figure for grid-connected generation capacity includes generators thatconnected to the grid in 2009, namely the Lisheen Wind Farm in Co. Tipperary (55 MW), anincrease in MEC at Coomacheo Wind Farm in Co. Cork (18 MW) and an increase in MEC atCoomagearlahy Wind Farm in Co. Kerry (38.5 MW).A number of generators have applied for connection to the grid. At the time of the datafreeze, 19 contracts had been signed, agreeing to connect a total generation capacity of2,117 MW to the grid. These planned generators are listed in Table 4-1 with their expectedconnection dates as at the time of the data freeze.The following connection agreements signed since the data freeze date; Cuilleen 98.4 MWOCGT plant at Athlone, Co.

ClareN/A 84.2 PLANNED RETIREMENT/DIVESTITURE OF GENERATION PLANTThe divestiture or closure of generation plant could have a significant impact on the abilityof the grid to comply with standards. Under the Grid Code, a minimum of 24 months noticeis required by the TSO to address the potential implications of any generation closures.It was announced in November 2006 that an agreement had been reached between ESB andthe CER to reduce ESB’s share of the electricity market. Under the terms of the agreementESB must close or divest 1,300 MW of plant by <strong>2010</strong>. One of the provisions of the agreementis that ESB must sell peaking capacity plant totalling 208 MW, including sites andinfrastructure, at Rhode and Tawnaghmore.8 There is currently no set date for the connection of Moneypoint wind farm.4-2


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>The Aghada peaking unit has subsequently been transferred to Tawnaghmore. Connectionagreements have been signed with the DSO to the effect that two 52 MW peaking units willbecome DSO costumers, connected at Tawnaghmore.In February 2009, ESB Power Generation confirmed that it intends to close Poolbeg Units 1,2 and 3 and the steam turbine at Marina by early <strong>2010</strong>. The larger gas turbine at Marina willremain operational.In July 2008, it was announced that the Spanish power company, Endesa, have agreed topurchase Great Island and Tarbert generation stations as well as Rhode and Tawnaghmorepeaking plants from ESB. The exact details of the future operation of these plants have yetto be finalised by Endesa.4.3 EMBEDDED GENERATIONOn the 01 st of July 2009, there was approximately 796 MW of embedded generation planti.e., plant connected to the distribution system or to the system of a directly-connecteddemand customer. This figure comprises combined heat and power (CHP) schemes, smallindustrial thermal units and renewable generation from wind, small hydro, land-fill gas(LFG) and biomass sources. Table 4-2 lists the existing embedded generation capacity totalsby generation type. Table D-3 in Appendix D provides details of the existing embedded windfarms and their capacities.Table 4-2 Existing Embedded Generation as at July 01 st 2009, MWNet Capacity(MW)Wind Small Biomass/ CHP Industrial Peaking TOTALHydro LFG512 22 33 116 9 104 796Embedded generators reduce the demand supplied through the transmission interfacestations. Forecasts of demand at the relevant transmission interface stations, presented inTable 3-1 of Chapter 3, take account of the contribution of the existing non-wind embeddedgenerators 9 . The Generation Adequacy Report 2009-2015 (GAR) forecasts the total CHP andnon-wind renewable capacity to grow by about 5 MW per year.4.4 WIND GENERATIONOver the past fifteen years wind power generation in the Republic of Ireland has increasedfrom 6 MW (one wind farm) to 1,095 MW (79 wind farms) at the beginning of July 2009.9 Because of the variability of wind, a fixed contribution from embedded wind farms is not taken intoaccount in the calculation of the peak transmission flow forecasts. Rather a number of windscenarios are considered in the TFS analyses.4-3

05 <strong>TRANSMISSION</strong>SYSTEMPERFORMANCE5.1 Forecast Power Flows5.2 Compliance with Planning Standards5.3 Short Circuit Currents


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>5 <strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> SYSTEM PERFORMANCEThis chapter describes the future performance of the transmission network in terms offorecast power flows, compliance with planning standards, and short circuit levels.The analysis of the short circuit currents is updated in this TFS and includes any changes tothe existing and planned transmission network data and the existing and projected demandand generation data since the July 2009 data freeze.5.1 <strong>FORECAST</strong> POWER FLOWSThe power flow at any given time depends on demand levels and the output from eachgenerator. There are many possible combinations of generator outputs (i.e., dispatches)that can meet the system demand requirements at any given time and many possibledemand scenarios. Planned additions of generation, as detailed in Tables D-2 and D-3 inAppendix D, create a greater level of generation dispatch variability with which the gridmust cope.In examining network performance and grid capability for new generation and demand, arange of generation dispatches is considered. As stated in Section 1.2 in Chapter 1,dispatches were prepared on an all-island basis, with power flows across the existing275 kV and planned 400 kV cross-border circuits permitted. Dispatches considered for 2013and <strong>2016</strong> included imports and exports of power across the planned East-Westinterconnector between Ireland and Great Britain.5.2 COMPLIANCE WITH PLANNING STANDARDSFigure 5-1 and Figure 5-2 indicate the areas of the network likely to be outside thermal, i.e.circuit loading, and voltage standards in <strong>2010</strong>, 2013 and <strong>2016</strong> based on the assumptions ontransmission reinforcements, demand and generation outlined in this statement. Theseareas are highlighted by orange shading on the maps.The figures illustrate how the network performs against planning standards. It should benoted however that some incidents, such as a fault on a transformer or underground cable,may take a long time to repair and could temporarily change the performance outlook. Alengthy outage of a transformer or cable could weaken the network which could impact onsystem flexibility and on generation constraints.5-1


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong><strong>2010</strong>Figure 5-1 Network Performance in <strong>2010</strong>The <strong>2010</strong> snapshot shown in Figure 5-1 indicates that a number of areas are outsidestandards pending completion of ongoing projects. Figure 5-2 shows that networkperformance is expected to improve in 2013 when these reinforcements are completed, inparticular following completion of the planned 220 kV Moneypoint-Kilpaddoge circuit. Theanalysis for <strong>2016</strong> shows a growing number of areas outside standards, illustrating the everchangingdemands on the grid and the need for continuous development. The TransmissionSystem Operator (TSO) has plans in place to address many of these problems and is activelyconsidering options for addressing other future network problems. It should be noted whenassessing the <strong>2016</strong> performance, that approximately 50% of Gate 3 wind generation wasassumed to be connected by then.Areas of the network not shaded in the diagrams are expected to be within standards basedon current assumptions. However, the circa 6,000 MW of generation currently expected toreceive offers in Gate 3 may significantly impact on network performance, potentiallyputting some of these areas outside standards. Similarly, other developments such as theconnection of a new large generator or demand may put areas of the network outsidestandards. In such cases, further investment will be required to restore the network tostandards.5-2


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>2013 <strong>2016</strong>Figure 5-2 Network Performance in 2013 and <strong>2016</strong>5.3 SHORT CIRCUIT CURRENTSAll network equipment must be capable of carrying the currents that may occur in the eventof a short circuit fault. In particular, circuit breakers must be capable of opening to isolatea fault, thereby minimising risk to personnel, preventing damage to transmissionequipment, and maintaining system stability, security and quality of supply.The transmission system is designed and operated to maintain short circuit levels belowthe standard equipment ratings listed at each voltage level in Table 5-1. In planning thesystem a 10% margin is applied, so that 220 kV short circuit currents, for example, will bekept below 36 kA.It should be noted that Grid Code Version 3.1 (released in May 2008) contains amodification which stipulates that fault levels at designated stations may be allowed toincrease to 31.5 kA. If necessary, the equipment at these stations is to be modified orreplaced in order to comply with this new rating. The stations currently designated foroperation of the 110 kV equipment up to 31.5 kA, as proposed by the TSO, are; Barnahely,College Park, Corduff, Finglas, Kilbarry, Knockraha, Louth, Marina, Raffeen and Trabeg.

<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>Local short circuit current is a factor to be considered in the connection of new generationor demand. The Grid Code requires that users connecting to the transmission system designtheir plant and apparatus to withstand the short circuit currents set out in Table 5-1.Changes in the network or the addition of generation can bring about an increase in theshort circuit currents at a station nearby. Where the forecast currents would exceed therating of a circuit breaker or other equipment, it would be essential to replace theequipment with higher rated plant or take other measures to reduce the short circuitcurrents.Table 5-1 Standard Equipment Rating and Maximum Design Short Circuit CurrentsVoltage LevelStandard Equipment Short Circuit Rating400 kV 50 kA220 kV 40 kA110 kV In Dublin 26 kAOutside DublinDesignated sites25 kA31.5 kAShort circuit currents were calculated for all grid buses in accordance with internationalstandards. The analysis was carried out for single-phase and three-phase faults for winterpeak and summer valley, for the years <strong>2010</strong>, 2013 and <strong>2016</strong>. A description of the calculationmethod and the results are given in Appendix E as well as an explanation of the terms used.Analysis was carried out for the winter peak as the results should indicate the maximumshort circuit currents on the system. Conversely, analysis of the summer valley was carriedout as the results should indicate the minimum short circuit currents.The generation dispatches for the winter peak and summer valley studies are presented inTable D-4 in Appendix D. For the calculations of short circuit currents at winter peaks, allother generators are modelled as dispatched at zero MW. This measure ensures a highinfeed to faults from all local generator sources in the studies ensuring that the mostcritical potential scenario is considered for the calculation of short circuit currents at eachbus. For the calculations of short circuit currents at summer valleys, generators that werenot dispatched were not synchronised to the system.The results in Appendix E include RMS break currents, peak make currents and X/R ratios.In summary, the RMS break is an indication of the short circuit currents that a circuitbreaker may have to interrupt i.e., open. The peak make fault current is the maximumcurrent that a circuit breaker may have to make i.e., close onto, at the instant of the fault.The X/R ratio is dependent on the proximity of the station to generation. A very high X/Rratio, as for Dublin stations, arises from the fact that the station is heavily interconnected5-4


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>to the surrounding network and is close to concentrations of generation. This leads to highshort circuit currents, particularly peak make currents.The studies assume that the network is in the normal intact condition (as indicated in thepower flow diagrams) and that all circuits connected to a bus contribute to the fault. Theseresults correspond to total busbar short circuit current. The short circuit current that couldflow through each individual circuit breaker may be less than the total busbar short circuitcurrent. Figure 5-3 presents the short circuit current results for the winter peak 2013 caseas a percentage of standard equipment rating. Two percentage ranges are represented bydifferent colours as indicated. The orange dots represent stations where short circuitcurrents may exceed 80% of the standard ratings and the purple dots between 50 and 80%.The results indicate that in most of the country short circuit currents are relatively low,whereas short circuit currents at a number of stations in Dublin and Cork are above 80% ofthe standard ratings because of the high concentration of existing and planned generationin those areas. Short circuit currents are also high at Louth, where the main interconnectorto Northern Ireland is connected, and at Tarbert, where a new submarine cable connectingthe Tarbert area to Moneypoint generation station is expected to be completed in 2013. TheTSO will continue to monitor short circuit currents at these stations to ensure that theyremain within safety standards.> 80% of the standard ratings50 – 80% of the standard ratingsFigure 5-3 Grid Busbar Short Circuit Currents for Winter Peak 20135-5


06 OVERVIEW OF<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong>SYSTEM CAPABILITYANALYSES6.1 Transfer Capability Analyses for New Demand6.2 Factors Impacting on Results


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>6 OVERVIEW OF <strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> SYSTEM CAPABILITY ANALYSESThis chapter describes the analyses carried out to determine the capability of the grid toaccommodate additional demand at various parts of the network. The results of theseanalyses, together with information in other chapters, provide the basis for the statementsof opportunity in Chapter 8.The analyses were carried out for three specific years:• <strong>2010</strong>: This is the first year of the seven-year period of the Transmission ForecastStatement (TFS). The information provided for <strong>2010</strong> gives developers a useful indicationas to the opportunities that exist in the short-term.• 2013: This is the mid-year of the seven-year period. Because of typical lead-times forconstruction of demand plant, this year represents the more realistic beginning of theperiod of interest for developers at a pre-feasibility stage wishing to connect to thetransmission system.• <strong>2016</strong>: This covers the final year of the TFS, which extends to winter <strong>2016</strong>/17.Studies were carried out for the summer and following winter of each year usinginformation describing the existing and planned transmission system as known at thebeginning of July 2009. The base case generation dispatch scenarios used for the studiesare presented in Table D-4 in Appendix D.The locations analysed for new demand have been carefully reviewed based on feedbackfrom industry sources. The chosen stations have been tailored to match more closely theneeds of customers.It should be noted that the results of these studies are dependent on the assumptions madeabout generation and demand, and on the completion dates of network developmentprojects as described in previous chapters. Factors that may influence the results arediscussed in Section 6.2.6.1 TRANSFER CAPABILITY ANALYSES FOR NEW DEMANDThe grid is planned to meet forecast demands at all stations in the country. The demandforecast for each 110 kV station is a proportion of the overall system demand forecast basedon historical demand distributions. Future demand customers that have signed connectionagreements are also included in station demand forecasts.While additional demands above the forecast levels are not explicitly catered for in networkplans, there may be capacity for such additional demand inherent in the network at certainlocations. New demands can generally locate in an area that has excess generation capacity6-1


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>as this will reduce power flows out of the area. Alternatively, the addition of transmissioninfrastructure generally provides a step increase in network capacity which may permitdemands higher than forecast levels, as illustrated in Figure 6-1. The blue line representsthe required capacity at a particular point in the network. The red line represents theinstalled network capacity. Changes in installed capacity generally come in discrete steps,thus providing spare capacity for a period of time.InstalledCapacityMWRequiredCapacitySpareCapacityYearsFigure 6-1 Illustration of Typical Step Change in Network CapacityFigure 6-2 illustrates the demand profile for a representative station. The blue linerepresents the demand forecast at the station. The green bars represent a new stepincrease in demand. The analysis carried out for this TFS examines the grid’s capability toaccept such increased demand above forecast levels at selected 110 kV stations. Theselected 110 kV stations, which feed principal towns and demand centres distributedthroughout the country, are shown in Figure 8-1 in Chapter 8. The results of this analysisare useful in identifying opportunities for the connection of new or increased demand of asize typical of industrial development in the Republic of Ireland.6-2

In summary, when demand in an areaincreases, it must be supplied by an increased output from generation units. An incrementalpower transfer is created. The method for this study, therefore, involves modellingincremental power transfers between centres of existing generation and potential demandareas. The transfer limit is reached when the first circuit overload or voltage problemoccurs following a circuit or generator outage. Outages during the maintenance of keycircuits were considered in these studies. Dynamic stability problems were not assessed. Itshould be noted that only problems that are significantly exacerbated by the transfer arerelevant to the analysis.In assessing opportunities for new demands, the TFS considers the capability of thetransmission grid only. The capability of the distribution system is not addressed. Theimplications for generation adequacy of demand growth above the median forecast levelsare dealt with separately in the TSO’s Generation Adequacy Report <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>.6.2 FACTORS IMPACTING ON RESULTSThe results of the analyses described in this chapter, and in the appendices, are based on aset of assumptions about future demand growth, generation connections and transmissiondevelopments. The key forecast factors on which the results depend are dynamic and,therefore, the reality that emerges will not exactly match the forecasts. Consequently, theresults, while reasonably indicative, should not be interpreted as definitive projections.The factors likely to have an impact on the outcomes include:6-3


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>• the signing of a connection agreement by a new generator - the Gate 3 process is likelyto result in connection offers being issued for 6,000 MW of conventional and windgeneration;• delays in connection of committed new generation;• closure/divestiture of existing generation stations;• changes in the economy which give rise to consequential changes in the overall demandfor electricity;• changes in demand in a particular region or area, arising from new industrydevelopments or closures;• delays in the provision of network reinforcements;• selection and construction of new reinforcement developments which may significantlyincrease network capacity.6-4

<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>7 NETWORK CAPABILITY FOR NEW GENERATIONThis chapter provides indicative information on the opportunities for generator connectionsbased on EirGrid’s grid development strategy, GRID25, and the Gate 3 group processingscheme for generators.7.1 GRID25Over the next 15 to 20 years, major changes will take place in Ireland’s electricity needs, inits sources of fuel and in its fleet of power stations. Change will increasingly be driven byissues of energy security, competitiveness, climate change and by the need to move awayfrom imported fuels.The National Electricity Grid is a vital channel for supplying reliably, sustainable andrenewable energy and for open competition within the sector. A strong transmission gridwill bring the energy supplies which will enable Ireland to prosper economically and toprovide good quality of life to its people.Reinforcing and upgrading the transmission system is required in order to maintain a stronggrid. The capacity of the bulk transmission system, comprising circuits at 220 kV or higher,has remained largely unchanged in the last 20 years, a period that has seen a growth of150% in the electricity demand. EirGrid calculates that to facilitate the necessary increasein renewable generation and to adequately meet the demands of the electricity customer,the capacity of the bulk transmission system will need to be doubled by 2025.The strategy for the long term development of Ireland’s Electricity Grid for a sustainableand competitive future is set out in GRID25. GRID25 will provide transmission capacity forincreased electricity demand, new conventional generators and large amounts of renewablegeneration.Further details on GRID25 are available on the EirGrid website (www.eirgrid.com).7.2 GATE 3 AND POST GATE 3 GENERATION APPLICANTSThe TSO and DSO have received a considerable number of new applications for connectionof generation to the system. It is currently expected that circa 4,000 MW of wind generationand approximately 2,000 MW of conventional generation will receive connection offers inGate 3. Figure 4-3 and Table 4-5 illustrate how Gate 3 generation is distributed across thecountry. Post Gate 3 there are currently a further 290 applications for renewable (mainlywind farms) connections totalling circa 8,600 MW.7-1


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>7.3 GENERATION CONNECTION OPPORTUNITIES CREATED BY GRID25On January 29 th <strong>2010</strong> EirGrid published the Gate 3 Firm Access Quantities, in accordancewith the Gate 3 group processing scheme. The publication details the potential levels offirm network access available in the electricity grid for each Gate 3 project for each year upto 2023, taking account of the proposed developments outlined in Grid25.For the purposes of this Transmission Forecast Statement, Table 7-1 compiles the Gate 3Firm Access Quantities to illustrate the level of capacity available on the electricity grid toaccommodate additional generation, for three stages of the seven year period covered bythe TFS – <strong>2010</strong>, 2013 and <strong>2016</strong>. Table 7-1 illustrates that by <strong>2016</strong> the developmentsassociated with Grid25 create firm capacity on the grid to accommodate more than2,000 MW of Gate 3 generation.Table 7-1 is based directly on the Gate 3 Firm Access Quantities and the associatedassumptions. Details on the Gate 3 Firm Access Quantities are available on the EirGridwebsite (www.eirgrid.com).Table 7-1 Capability for New Generation for each region, MWRegion <strong>2010</strong> 2013 <strong>2016</strong>East 427 745 1,047North-east 33 80 202North-west 0 123 159South-east 52 100 188South-west 0 0 227West 0 92 306Total 512 1139 21297.4 IMPACT OF GATE 3 AND POST GATE 3 ON CAPABILITY FOR NEW GENERATIONThe transmission system upgrades and reinforcements associated with GRID25 willinherently create significant capacity on the grid to accommodate new generation. If newgenerators sign agreements for connection in an area that has received increased gridcapacity as a result of Grid25 system reinforcements, they will use up some or perhaps allof the available capacity in that area.The quantities provided in Table 7-1 are based on analysis carried out on the applications inGate 3. It is reasonable to assume that additional capacity, over and above that indicated inTable 7-1, will be available on various parts of the grid to accommodate some post Gate 3generation. However, given the scale of generator applications it is unlikely, even with thesignificant network expansion associated with GRID25, that there will be capacity on thegrid to provide firm access to all post Gate 3 applications before 2025.7-2


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>The manner in which post Gate 3 applications will be processed has yet to be decided bythe Commission for Energy Regulation (CER).Up-to-date information on applications, new generation connection agreements and theprocess for obtaining a formal connection offer are available on www.eirgrid.com. Beforemaking any commercial decisions developers should contact EirGrid for discussions on theirproposed developments.This TFS is published solely for the purposes of Section 38 of the 1999 Electricity Act and isnot intended to have any legal effect in relation to the negotiation of contractual terms forconnections to the transmission system.7-3

<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>8 NETWORK CAPABILITY FOR NEW DEMANDThe national grid is being planned to meet anticipated demand growth at all stations on thegrid. Appendix C provides projections of demand at each station. This chapter presents theresults of analyses of the capability of the grid to accommodate increased demand, aboveprojected demand levels, and discusses the opportunities for increased demand of a sizetypical of industrial development in the Republic of Ireland. Twenty-nine 110 kV stations,which feed principal towns and demand centres throughout the country, were chosen forthis analysis. These are shown in Figure 8-1.Figure 8-1 110 kV Stations Studied for Demand8.1 INCREMENTAL TRANSFER CAPABILITY RESULTS FOR NEW DEMANDThe method of analysis used to determine the capability of the grid to accommodateadditional demand is described in Chapter 6 and in more detail in Appendix G. The resultsof the analyses are presented in Table 8-1. These indicate the amount of additional demand,in excess of projected demand, that could be accommodated at each of the twenty-nine110 kV stations, without the need for additional grid reinforcement. The results are given tothe nearest 10 MW.8-1

Reference numbers prefixed with a “P” indicate that theTransmission System Operator (TSO) has initiated specific projects which will overcome theconstraint; a “C” indicates that plans are being progressed to deal with the constraint; an“F” means that further investigation is required before a solution is selected. The numericalsuffixes serve to uniquely identify the constraints for reference purposes.8-2


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>8.2 OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEW DEMAND“Opportunity” relates to where there is or will be capacity for greater use of the gridwithout the need for further reinforcements. However, if a developer chooses to connect ademand in an area that requires reinforcement, the TSO will progress relevant griddevelopments. Demand developers should consult the TSO early in their developmentprocess to explore options relating to their proposal thus enabling timely decision making.As a general rule, opportunity at a particular station would tend to reduce over the courseof the seven years covered by the Transmission Forecast Statement (TFS) as normal demandgrowth uses up available capacity. However, in many cases demand opportunities improvein later years as a result of planned network or generation developments.In <strong>2010</strong> there will be opportunities for additional large demand at 20 of the 29 110 kVstations examined and in <strong>2016</strong> there will be opportunities at all 29 stations.Opportunities for increased demands are spread around the country. In general, individualdemands up to 10 MW can be connected to most of the other stations on the grid. Anadditional demand of 10 MW or more, over and above forecast demand, represents asignificant increase for most locations. To put this in context, a demand of 10 MWrepresents the consumption of a typical pharmaceutical plant.Figure 8-2 illustrates the opportunities for demand in 2013 and <strong>2016</strong>. The graphics showthat there will be significant demand opportunities in most parts of the country throughoutthe seven-year period to <strong>2016</strong>.It should be noted that demand opportunity is tested for each station on an individualbasis. As such, the opportunities presented are not cumulative i.e., if new demand connectsin an area that is shown to have opportunity they will use up some or all of the availablecapacity in that area.8-3


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>2013 <strong>2016</strong>


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>nearest 110 kV station presented in Table 8-1 in this chapter. The potential developershould then check the assumptions in Chapters 2 to 4 on which these results are based,and consider the impact of changes to the network since the analysis was carried out.To illustrate this approach, the following is an example of how a developer planning toconnect a new large demand of 12 MW (about 13 MVA) near Castlebar in <strong>2010</strong> might use theTFS. The maps in Appendix A show that the nearest 110 kV station is Castlebar station.Appendix C shows that the demand at Castlebar will be about 34.4 MW at winter peak<strong>2010</strong>/11. This is forecast to grow by 2.3 MW between <strong>2010</strong> and 2013 i.e., by less than 1 MWper annum. The proposed 12 MW is far greater than the annual forecast increase. Ittherefore represents a step change in the demand at Castlebar i.e., the type of increasethat is the subject of the transfer capability analysis presented in this chapter.The results for Castlebar in Table 8-1 show that the opportunity for increased demand isless than 10 MW in <strong>2010</strong>. The table directs the potential developer to constraint P1 inAppendix F for additional information on the constraint and the plans that the TSO have inplace to address the constraint. Table F-1 in Appendix F shows that potential overloading ofthe Athlone-Shannonbridge 110 kV line is responsible for limiting the opportunity. Theoverload occurs under summer peak trip-maintenance conditions. Capital projects CP261and CP552, which entails construction of a second Athlone-Shannonbridge 110 kV line andan uprate of the existing Athlone-Shannonbridge 110 kV line, have been initiated by the TSOto relieve the constraint. Detailed information on capital projects CP261 and CP552 can befound in Appendix B. Following completion of these projects towards the end of 2012 theopportunity at Castlebar increases to 30 MW in 2013. The opportunity decreases to 20 MWby <strong>2016</strong> as a result of normal demand growth in the area. This indicates that the network islikely to be capable of connecting and supplying the proposed demand once capital projectsCP261 and CP552 have been fully implemented.8-5

<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>APPENDIX B NETWORK CHARACTERISTICSThis appendix presents details of the physical and electrical characteristics of thetransmission system in tabular form. Data for the existing system is presented first,followed by the data for planned developments.The planned developments include network reinforcement projects that have been selectedby the TSO, and developments necessary to connect new generation and demands to thegrid as at the beginning of July 2009.Readers should refer to Section 1.4 in Chapter 1 of the main text to obtain information onprojects approved since July 2009.The following is a list of tables in Section B.1:Table B-2 Characteristics of Existing 400 kV LinesTable B-3 Characteristics of Existing Cross-Border 275 kV LinesTable B-4 Characteristics of Existing 220 kV Lines and CablesTable B-5 Characteristics of Existing 110 kV Lines and CablesTable B-6 Characteristics of Existing 400/220 kV Grid TransformersTable B-7 Characteristics of Existing 275/220 kV Grid TransformersTable B-8 Characteristics of Existing 220/110 kV Grid TransformersTable B-9 Characteristics of Existing Power Flow ControllerTable B-10 Characteristics of Existing Reactive CompensationThe following is a list of tables in Section B.2:Table B-11 Changes in Circuit Characteristics Expected After July 01 st 2009Table B-12 Changes in Circuit Characteristics Expected in <strong>2010</strong>Table B-13 Changes in Circuit Characteristics Expected in 2011Table B-14 Changes in Circuit Characteristics Expected in 2012Table B-15 Changes in Circuit Characteristics Expected in 2013Table B-16 Changes in Circuit Characteristics Expected Beyond 2013Table B-17 Characteristics of Grid Transformers Expected in 2009Table B-18 Characteristics of Grid Transformers Expected in <strong>2010</strong>Table B-19 Characteristics of Grid Transformers Expected in 2011B-1


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>Table B-20 Characteristics of Grid Transformers Expected in 2012Table B-21 Characteristics of Grid Transformers Expected in 2013Table B-22 Characteristics of Grid Transformers Expected Beyond 2013Table B-23 Characteristics of Reactive Compensation Expected in <strong>2010</strong>Table B-24 Characteristics of Reactive Compensation Expected in <strong>2016</strong>Tables B-2 to B-5 and Tables B-11 to B-16 include the ratings for lines and cables in MVA forwinter and summer reference temperature conditions at 1 per unit (p.u.) voltage. The higherambient temperature in summer dictates a reduced thermal rating for overhead lines. Therating is the maximum permissible power that the circuit can transport on a continuousbasis. Reference ambient temperatures are:• winter - 5° C;• summer - 25° C.The electrical characteristics of the transmission network at the three nominal voltagelevels are quoted in per unit to an MVA base of 100, and the applicable reference voltage asreflected in Table B-1.Table B-1 Nominal and Reference Voltage LevelsNominal Voltage LevelReference Voltage400 kV 380 kV220 kV 220 kV110 kV 110 kVIn some cases, other equipment associated with a line or cable, such as currenttransformers, may have lower ratings. However, as these are easier to uprate or change outthan the line or cable, they are not expected to restrict access to the grid.Historically, a small number of 110 kV stations were connected to the grid via a tee i.e., anun-switched connection into an existing line between two other stations. For the purposesof describing the various sections of lines in the following tables, the tee point isidentified by the name of the teed 110 kV station with a suffix “T” added.B-2

Tables C-1 to C-3 listthe demand forecasts at each interface station for each of the seven years to <strong>2016</strong> at thetime of system winter peak, summer peak and summer valley, respectively.The station demand values do not include transmission losses. Demand at stations thatinterface with the distribution system do include distribution losses.All transmission interface stations are 110 kV stations except for the four 220 kV interfacestations that supply the Dublin City networks operated by the DSO. These 220 kV interfacestations, Carrickmines, Finglas, Inchicore and Poolbeg, are included at the bottom of thetable.Some 110 kV stations do not interface with distribution stations or directly-connecteddemand stations.

They indicate the powerdelivered to the grid.In all instances, except the dispatch profiles used for the winter peak short circuit studies,a dispatch of 0 MW indicats that the unit is not synchronised to the system and iseffectively off. For the calculations of short circuit currents at winter peaks, all generatorsnot dispatched are modelled as synchronised to the system and dispatched at zero MW.It should be noted that station demand projections are developed from the system demandforecasts on a top-down basis, using a forecast of transmission losses. The transmissionloss figures calculated by the network models used in this TFS may differ from the forecastfigures and hence the dispatch totals may differ from the system demand forecasts in Table3-1 in Chapter 3.D-10

<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>APPENDIX ESHORT CIRCUIT CURRENTSE.1 BACKGROUNDShort circuit current levels are calculated in accordance with the UK EngineeringRecommendation G74, which is a computer based analysis based on the InternationalStandard IEC60909.The plot in Figure E-1 shows a typical short circuit current. Short circuit current is made upof an AC component with a slow decay rate, and a DC component illustrated by the greenline with a much faster decay rate.Current [kA]Peak make currentTotal RMS breakcurrentFault occursat time t 0Time between fault and circuitbreaker contacts starting toseparateTime for circuitbreaker to clearfaultTime (ms)Figure E-1 Typical Short Circuit CurrentThe DC component of a short circuit current decays exponentially. Its rate of decay isinfluenced by the ratio of the reactance (X) to the resistance (R) of the paths back to thegenerators feeding power to the fault (the X/R ratio).The reactance component becomes less dominant further out on the grid away from majorgeneration infeeds. Consequently the X/R ratio decreases and the rate of decay of the DCcomponent is much faster. The faster decaying DC component results in a smaller offsetapplied to the total root mean square (RMS) break current.The short circuit current that a circuit breaker is expected to interrupt during a fault is theRMS of AC current offset by a DC current and is referred to as the total RMS break current.The fault breaking current rating is limited by the thermal energy that the circuit breakercan dissipate during the time the contacts take to separate. The peak make current ishigher than the break current and is the most onerous condition that a circuit breaker canbe exposed to. This will occur when a circuit breaker is closed onto an earthed item ofequipment e.g. bus bar, transmission line, transformer etc. At this instant in time, the DCvalue is close to its maximum so that the total current (AC + DC) is at its peak. CircuitE-1


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>breakers are typically rated approximately 2.5 times higher for peak make than for breakcurrents. In general, peak make currents are of concern at stations close to majorgeneration infeeds.The transmission system is designed and operated to maintain RMS break short circuitlevels in accordance with Grid Code CC.8.6. A summary of these requirements is set out inTable E-1. In designing the system, a 10% safety margin is applied.It should be noted that Grid Code Version 3.1 (released in May 2008) contains amodification which stipulates that fault levels at designated stations may be allowed toincrease to 31.5 kA. If necessary, the equipment at these stations is to be modified orreplaced in order to comply with this new rating. The stations currently designated foroperation of the 110 kV equipment up to 31.5 kA, as proposed by the TSO, are; Barnahely,College Park, Corduff, Finglas, Kilbarry, Knockraha, Louth, Marina, Raffeen and Trabeg. TheTSO will annually publish an updated list of designated stations.Table E-1 Short Circuit Current Levels - Standard Equipment RatingVoltage LevelStandard Equipment Short CircuitCurrent Rating400 kV 50 kA220 kV 40 kA110 kVWithin the Dublin AreaOutside the Dublin AreaDesignated sites26 kA25 kA31.5 kARecent connections of additional generation to the grid have raised concerns about thepeak-make levels in some areas. Peak-make values are therefore included for completeness.E.2 ANALYSISThe generation dispatches used in the short circuit analysis are shown in Table D-4 inAppendix D. In the case of the winter peak studies, however, all generators that were notoriginally dispatched as in Table D-4 were switched in and dispatched at outputs of 0 MWand 0 Mvar.The demand at each transmission interface station is assumed to contribute 1 MVA ofinduction motor fault infeed per MW of load. An X/R ratio of 2.76 is assumed for theseloads, in accordance with the Engineering Recommendation G74.The total RMS break current depends upon the circuit breaker break time i.e., the time ittakes for the protection to operate and for the circuit breaker contacts to fully separate. Acircuit breaker break time of 50 ms was assumed for the circuit breakers located at the220 kV stations and a break time of 80 ms was applied to the 110 kV stations. These breakE-2


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>times are deemed to be appropriate in the case of the majority of circuit breakers on thenetwork.The total RMS break current at a busbar is an indication of the short circuit level that onecould expect at that point in the network. However, they do not necessarily represent theshort circuit current that could flow through each individual breaker, which may be lower.E.3 RESULTSTables E-2 to E-4 list total RMS break currents, peak make currents and X/R ratios forsingle-phase to earth and balanced three-phase faults for grid busbars.

<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>APPENDIX FADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON OPPORTUNITIESThe transmission network is designed to provide a safe, reliable and economic transportservice for power from source to demand. The Transmission Planning Criteria (TPC) providesa planning framework by which a balance can be achieved between reliability and economy.Achieving this balance means that under certain circumstances some level of constraintswill exist in the system.The Transmission System Operator (TSO) constantly reviews system performance ascircumstances change. For example, the connection of new generation or demand to thegrid, additional to the current forecasts and assumptions, or new interconnection transfers,will alter the expected power flows. Constraints will arise if the new power flows exceedplanned grid capacity.In designing out these constraints the TSO will take account of the following:• The extent of the constraint;• The impact on system security;• The overall economics of the operation of the system;• The cost of the solution;• The lead-time of the solution.The analysis of transfer capabilities described in Chapter 8 identified a number of potentialsystem constraints that could limit power flows arising from new demand connections. Mostof these have been identified previously and are being managed by the TSO.These potential transmission constraints are presented in the table below. The first columnin each table provides a cross-reference to the ITC results tables in Chapter 8. The secondcolumn describes potentially overloaded circuits or names of stations at which low voltagespotentially occur following particular outages. The third column lists the circumstancesunder which the overloads or voltage problems occur, thereby limiting the ITC. Forconstraints for which projects have already been initiated, the final column provides thereader with the CP number of the capital project designed to relieve the constraint. This canbe cross-referenced against the detailed descriptions of the planned projects provided inSection B-2 of Appendix B.F-1

<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>APPENDIX G STUDY METHODSG.1 INCREMENTAL TRANSFER CAPABILITY STUDIES FOR DEMANDG.1.1BackgroundTransfer limit analysis was used in this Transmission Forecast Statement (TFS) to determinethe Incremental Transfer Capability (ITC) of the grid at a number of locations on the grid.The ITC calculated is a measure of the transfer capability remaining in the physical grid forfurther commercial activity over and above already anticipated uses. It provides anindication of the flexibility of the grid to accommodate future demand increases in selectedareas without the requirement for further reinforcements.The transfer analysis is intended as a pre-feasibility indication of opportunity for increaseddemands. The method for determining ITC closely aligns with pre-feasibility studytechniques.G.1.2Planning Criteria as Applied in Transfer Limit Analysis for DemandIn previous Transmission Forecast Statements the application of planning standards for theanalyses of demand and generation was the same in all respects except for thecontingencies considered and voltage analysis. In the generation studies, trip-maintenance(N-1-1) contingencies were not considered. An assumption was made that the hypotheticalgenerator could be constrained down or off during transmission circuit maintenance.However, demands are not dispatchable, and so it is not acceptable to assume that thehypothetical demand may be constrained off during a maintenance outage. It is necessary,therefore, to assess the network performance against standards for trip-maintenancecontingencies in the analysis of increased demands. The reason voltage analysis wasperformed as part of the ITC studies is because the addition of demand is likely to impacton local voltages.G.1.3Method for Calculating Transfer Limits for Increased DemandDC loadflow techniques were used to screen for critical contingencies and thermaloverloads, followed by AC loadflow studies to confirm the results of the DC loadflows and toidentify voltage limitations. The network was also tested against voltage standards for arange of critical contingencies.Transfers were considered between the “Dublin”, “Northern Ireland” and “South”generation blocks described in Table G-1 in Section G.1.3.2 and the twenty-nine 110 kV “testnodes” selected for analysis.G-1


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>The initial generator dispatches for the transfer capability studies are presented in Table D-4 in Appendix D. Generators were modelled with their maximum output equivalent to theirMaximum Continuous Rating (MCR). As wind energy is variable, it cannot be relied upon toserve demand. As such, local wind generation was switched out in the vicinity of the testnode. These dispatches, with wind generation local to the test node switched out, wereused for single contingency (N-1) studies. For N-G-1 and N-1-1 contingencies, the centrallydispatchablegeneration local to the test node was maximised to its MCR value, to create amore favourable dispatch for the maintenance case.To calculate the ITC, demand at 95% power factor was added at the test node in increasingamounts. This was balanced by an equivalent increase in generation output from existinggeneration within one of the three generation blocks. This is illustrated in Figure G-1. Incases where full capacity was reached on all generation units within a generation block, themaximum capacity was increased to allow further transfer. The limit for increased transfersfrom the generation block to the test node was established by checking the postcontingencyperformance of the grid against thermal and then voltage standards. Theprocess was then repeated for the two remaining generation blocks.Problems on the grid were not considered limiting unless they were sensitive to theincremental transfers under examination. For the purposes of the studies for this TFS thesensitivity factor used was a change in circuit loading of 5 MW or more for a 100 MWtransfer. In addition, overloads on the 220 and 400 kV networks were considered sensitiveto the transfer only if they were increased by 4 MW or more. Voltage problems wereconsidered sensitive if the voltage dropped by more than 3% for every 100 MW.To assist the reader, the information from this analysis is presented concisely by combiningthe results of the ITCs from the “Dublin”, “Northern Ireland” and “South” generation blocksto each of the 29 selected 110 kV stations. This provides an indication of the capabilitiesfor increased demand at each station. When considering single contingencies (N-1) on anintact network the minimum ITC from Dublin, Northern Ireland or the south was chosen.However, when considering trip-maintenance contingencies (N-1-1), the greater of the ITCsfrom Dublin, Northern Ireland or the south was chosen. This was based on the assumptionthat less onerous generation dispatches could be scheduled to accommodate maintenanceoutages. The results are presented in Section 8.1 of Chapter 8.G-2

The example illustrates the stepstaken towards deriving the demand opportunity at Shankill 110 kV station.The assessment was carried out by simulating the network for summer peak 2013 using thedemand forecasts presented in Table C-2 in Appendix C and the relevant generator dispatchfrom Table D-4 in Appendix D.Due to its variable nature, wind generation cannot be relied on to meet the demand at alltimes. Therefore, to prepare the model for testing the capability for additional demand atShankill, all wind generation in the north-east i.e., in the vicinity of Shankill, was switchedoff.Three sets of studies were carried out, with the extra demand in each met by increasinggeneration in one or other of the “Dublin”, “Northern Ireland” and “South” generationblocks. For each study in turn, the DC loadflow screening analysis was used to add a testdemand to Shankill 110 kV station and to vary its size between zero and 100 MW. Anequivalent amount of generation was increased in each generation block in order to meetthe increased demand at Shankill, which set up incremental power transfers between eachgeneration block and Shankill. The analysis tested all combination-pairs of circuit andG-3


<strong>TRANSMISSION</strong> <strong>FORECAST</strong> <strong>STATEMENT</strong> <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2016</strong>generator outages and identified the most restrictive outage combinations and recorded thelevel of extra demand at which the network went outside standards.The 25 worst combinations were then more closely checked in AC loadflow studies. In thisexample, regardless of whether the extra demand was supplied from Dublin, NorthernIreland or the south, an outage of the Ratrussan-Shankill 110 kV line during themaintenance outage of the Arva-Shankill No. 2 110 kV line would result in a 10% overload onthe Arva-Shankill No. 1 110 kV line when the demand at Shankill was increased by 90 MW.This was therefore the limit of additional demand permissible at Shankill taking account ofthermal overload standards.The network was next tested against voltage standards with the 90 MW of additionaldemand modelled at Shankill. All possible circuit and generator outage combinations weresimulated and voltages checked. The analysis showed that the system remained withinvoltage standards with the additional demand connected at Shankill. As such, the limit ofadditional demand permissible at Shankill 110 kV station is 90 MW for summer peak 2013.G-4
