The 400 kV and 220 kV networks form the backbone of t h e gr i d . They h av e h i gh er c ap a c i t y

and lower losses than the 110 kV network. Th e 400 kV networ k provides a h igh capac i ty l ink

between Moneypoint g enerat ion s tat ion and G alway on the west coast and Dubl in on the

east . Th e 220 kV network compr ises a number of s ing le c i rcu i t loops around the country .

Typical ly la rge generat ion s tat ions (g reater than 100 MW) are connected to the 220 kV or

P1 Athlone-Shannonbridge 110 kV line

Overload can occur for an outage of the Lough Ree Power generation station, Cashla-Prospect 220 kV line or Cashla-Flagford 220 kV line.

Capital projects CP261 and CP552 relieve these constraints.

P2

Carrickmines T2101 Overload can occur on either Carrickmines 220/110 kV transformer for an outage of the other. A trip-maintenance outage of both transformers can lead to voltage instability.

Capital projects CP483 and CP513 relieve these constraints.

Carrickmines T2102

Voltage Instability

P3 Cashla T2104

Due to a limitation of ancillary equipment, an overload can occur for a trip-maintenance outage of both of the other Cashla 220/110 kV transformers.

Capital project CP322 relieves this constraint.

G.1 INCREMENTAL TRANSFER CAPABILITY STUDIES FOR DEMAND

G.1.1 Background

Trans f er l imi t an alys i s was used i n th i s Tr ansmiss ion Forecast Stat ement (TFS) to determine

the Incrementa l T ransf er Capabi l i ty ( ITC) o f th e gr id at a number o f locat ions on the gr id .

The ITC ca lcu lat ed is a measure of the t ransf er c a p a bi l i t y r em a i n i ng i n t h e ph y si c al g r i d for

f u r th er c o mme r ci a l a ct iv i t y ov e r and a b o v e a l r ea d y a n t i c i p at e d u s es. I t pr o v i d es a n

indicat ion o f the f lex ibi l i ty o f th e gr id to accommodate future demand incr eases in selected

a r e a s wi th o ut t h e req u ir eme n t f or f u r th e r r e i n f or ce m e n t s .

The t ransfer analysis is in tended as a pre- feasib i l i t y ind icat ion o f opportuni ty for incr eased

d e m a n d s . Th e m et h o d f o r d et ermi n i ng I T C c l os el y a l i g n s wi th p r e - f e as i bi l i t y s t udy

G.1.2 Planning Criteria as Applied in Transfer Limit Analysis for Demand

In prev ious T ransmiss ion Forecast St atements the appl icat ion o f p lanning s tandards for the

analyses o f demand and generat ion was the same in a l l respects except for the

c o n t i ng e n ci es c o n si d e r e d a n d v ol t a g e a n a l y si s . I n t h e g e n er at i o n s t udi e s, t r i p - m a i nt e na n c e

(N-1 -1 ) cont ing encies were not considered. An assumpt ion was made that the hypothet ical

g e n e ra t or cou l d b e c on s t r ai n e d dow n o r o f f d u r i n g t r an s m i s si o n c i r cu i t m a i n ten a n c e .

However , demands are not d ispatchabl e , and so i t i s not acceptable to assume that the

hypothet ical demand may be const rai ned of f du r ing a maintenance outage. I t i s necessary ,

ther efor e , to assess the networ k per formance against st andards for t r ip -maintenance

c o n t i ng e n ci es i n t h e a na l y si s o f i n c r e a sed d em a n d s . T h e r e a s o n v ol t a g e a n a l ys i s w a s
