PUB‐NLH‐159 Island Interconnected System Supply Issues and Power Outages Page 1 of 1 1 Q. Please provide a status report on recommendation #1 in section 4.3 of the report 2 titled "January 11, 2013 ‐ Winter Storm Events", filed as Appendix D to the “January 3 11, 2013 Power System Outage Report”, filed with Hydro’s March 24, 2014 Report 4 to the Board that Hydro should develop a schedule for "exercising" its 230kV circuit 5 breakers, including whether: 6 (i)
Has Hydro developed a plan to exercise its 230kV breakers; 7 (ii)
Has Hydro actually exercised any 230kV circuit breakers (which ones); 8 and (iii) Does Hydro plan to exercise its 230kV breakers in 2014? 9 10 11 12 A. In 2013, Hydro developed a plan to exercise its 230 kV breakers both remotely from 13 the Energy Control Centre (ECC) and locally from the station. (See PUB‐NLH‐159 14 Attachment 1 for an example of a preventative maintenance (PM) model work 15 order set up to exercise breakers at Holyrood Terminal Station.) An annual, time 16 based PM program was set up in 2013. All 230 kV breakers on Hydro’s system will 17 be exercised by October 31, 2014. (See PUB‐NLH‐159 Attachment 2 for a list of 230 18 kV breakers on Hydro’s system.) In addition, Hydro has reviewed the normal 19 operations of these 230 kV breakers to determine which are dormant (i.e., have not 20 been operated within approximately one year) by reviewing Energy Management 21 System (EMS) data from March 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014. Of the 84 230 kV 22 breakers on the Hydro system, 79 of those breakers had been successfully operated 23 in that period. There were only five breakers that had not been operated in that 24 period, namely one breaker at Vale Terminal Station, two at Stony Brook Terminal 25 Station, one at Deer Lake Terminal Station and one at Massey Drive Terminal 26 Station. These will be a priority focus within the 2014 PM exercise program. PUB-NLH-159, Attachment 1
