2 Outline 1. Introduction 2. BC Transmission System 3. BCTC Studies for Clean Power Call 4. Data Requirements for Interconnection Studies 5. Application Data Sheets (GIES form) 56

3 Introduction BCTC facilitates your business with BC Hydro by interconnecting your clean generation to the BC transmission system 57

4 Can you connect your generator into the system like this? 58

5 No! BCTC shall ensure that the transmission system reliability meets industry standards (NERC) by performing necessary interconnection studies. 59

6 Interconnection studies evaluate the interconnection from the thermal, voltage, frequency and stability perspectives to ensure the system can accommodate the interconnection; and Interconnection studies also provide important information for your consultants to specify your generating facilities. 60

7 Technical Interconnection: Requirements for Generators 69 kv to 500 kv Technical Interconnection Requirements (TIR) for Power Generators Wind Generation Technical Interconnection Requirements (TIR) - Supplement The above documents can be found on BCTC s web: 61

10 BC Transmission System North Interior ILM Project VITR Project VI LM TUP Project South Interior 64

11 To facilitate remote generation to supply the domestic load (centered in LM&VI) and to access the electricity markets, BCTC has proposed transmission projects such as: VITR (one new 230 kv line, ARN-VIT, Oct 2008); TUP (Two existing 500 kv lines, ING-CUS, Mar 2010); and ILM (One new 500 kv line, NIC-MDN, Oct 2014). 65

12 To facilitate wind generation to be interconnected into the grid, BCTC has: initiated Wind Integration Project, published Stage 1 Study Report and concluded considerable wind generation could be integrated. The report can be found at: A477F7AF306E/0/BCTCWindPlanningStage1StudyReport.pdf 66

13 BC Bulk Transmission System 500 kv, 360 kv and some 230 (287) kv Regional Transmission System T-IPP 69 kv, 138 kv and 230 kv system Distribution System Managed by BCH Voltage level < =35 kv D-IPP 67

14 General Guidelines for T-IPP vs D-IPP If your project is 15 MW+, then you are likely a transmission customer and you should: - Submit your Interconnection Request to BCTC by Oct 17, 2008; and - Finalize your complete application by November 17, 2008 If your project is smaller than 15 MW, then you are likely a distribution interconnection customer and you may: - Submit your application to BC Hydro by October 7,

15 Interconnection Studies for Clean Power Call BCTC, following the CEAP process, will perform Feasibility Study for each IR - Requested by the applicant - Performed on stand-alone basis If your application is successfully selected by BC Hydro, then BCTC will perform: - System Impact Study; and - Facilities Studies 69

16 Interconnection Feasibility Study Preliminarily evaluates the feasibility of the proposed interconnection to the transmission system; Consists of a power flow and short circuit analysis; and Provides a list of facilities and non-binding good faith estimate of cost responsibility and a non-binding good faith estimated time to construct. 70

17 Interconnection Feasibility Study BCTC recently completed Interconnection Feasibility Studies for 22 projects that participated in the BC Hydro Bioenergy Call for Power, Phase I The Feasibility Study reports for the transmission connected projects are posted on the BCTC web: _studies_data/studies/interconnection/generator/ 71

18 Interconnection System Impact Study Evaluates the impact of the proposed interconnection on the reliability of the transmission system; Consists of a short circuit analysis, a stability analysis and a power flow analysis; and Provides a list of facilities that are required as a result of the interconnection request and non-binding good faith estimate of cost responsibility and a nonbinding good faith estimated time to construct. 72

19 Interconnection Facilities Study Specifies and estimates the cost of the equipment, engineering, procurement and construction work needed to implement the conclusions of the Interconnection System Impact Study in accordance with good utility practice to physically and electrically connect the generating facility to the transmission system; and 73

20 Interconnection Facilities Study Identifies the: - electrical switching configuration of the connection equipment; - nature and estimated cost of any TPIF and NU necessary to accomplish the interconnection; and - estimates the time required to complete the construction and installation of such facilities. 74

21 Interconnection Study Reports The previous interconnection study reports for transmission-connected generating projects are posted on BCTC s website : es_data/studies/interconnection/generator/ 75

22 Inputs to Interconnection Studies Interconnection Request (IR) submitted by IPP - Interconnection Request Form - Generator Interconnection Equipment Statement (GIES) Study Base cases prepared by BCTC 76
