    Some Selected Baseline Upgrades for the

    December 2016 PJM Board

    Recommendation (near NYISO Border)

  • PJM©2016 42

    PenElec Transmission Zone Short Circuit:

    • The Warren 115kV breakers are

    overstressed.

    Immediate Need:

    • Due to the immediate need, the

    timing required for an RTEP proposal

    window is infeasible. As a result, the

    local Transmission Owner will be the

    Designated Entity.

    Alternatives Considered:

    • Due to the immediate need of the

    project no alternatives were

    considered

    Proposed Solution:

    • Replace the Warren 115kV breakers

    (b2735 – b2739)

    Estimated Project Cost: $1.15 M

    Required IS Date: June 1, 2018

  • PJM©2016 43

    PenElec Transmission Zone Short Circuit:

    • The Hooversville 115kV breakers

    ‘Ralphton’ & ‘Statler Hill’ are

    overstressed.

    Immediate Need:

    • Due to the immediate need, the timing

    required for an RTEP proposal window

    is infeasible. As a result, the local

    Transmission Owner will be the

    Designated Entity.

    Alternatives Considered:

    • Due to the immediate need of the

    project no alternatives were considered

    Proposed Solution:

    • Revise the reclosing of the Hooversville

    115 kV ‘Ralphton’ & ‘Statler Hill’

    (b2740 - b2741)

    Estimated Project Cost: $10 K per breaker

    Required IS Date: June 1, 2018

  • PJM©2016 44

    PenElec Transmission Zone

    N-1 First Energy Planning Criteria (FERC Form 715):

    • Voltage violation in the Tiffany 115 kV vicinity for several contingencies.

    Immediate Need:

    • Due to the time – sensitive nature and current issue this problem presents, PenElec (Local TO) will be the Designated Entity

    Alternatives Considered:

    • Do to the immediate need of the project, no alternative solution was considered.

    Recommendation:

    • Install 2 - 28 MVAR capacitors at Tiffany 115 kV substation. (B2748)

    Estimated Project Cost: $ 2.5 M

    Projected IS Date: 6/1/2017

  • PJM©2016 45

    PSEG Transmission Area Short Circuit:

    • The Bergen 138kV breakers “40P” and

    “90P” are overstressed.

    Immediate Need:

    • Due to the immediate need, the timing required

    for an RTEP proposal window is infeasible. As a

    result, the local Transmission Owner will be the

    Designated Entity.

    Alternatives Considered:

    • Due to the immediate need of the project

    no alternatives were considered

    Proposed Solution:

    • Replace the Bergen 138kV breakers “40P”

    and “90P”” with 80kA breakers (b2712 –

    B2713)

    • PSEG Fossil is responsible for 100% of the

    cost allocation

    Estimated Cost: $3.27 M per breaker

    Required IS Date: 06/01/2018
