88
Restoration Considerations
• Voltage Control
– Balance reactive resources
 Line charging
 Shunt capacitors
 Removed from service until sufficient load restored
 Shunt reactors
 Placed in service early to reduce voltage
 Static VAR Compensators and Condensers
 Automatic control - in service as soon as practical
 Generator MVAR capabilities
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
89
Restoration Considerations
• Interconnecting
– Generating plants or stations with
synchroscopes
 Phase angle should be 10o or less
• Transmission Stability
– Only facilities expected to carry significant
load should be energized
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
90
Restoration Considerations
• Transient Stability Factors dependent on:
– Strength of transmission network
– Strength of tie-lines to the outside
– Characteristics of Generating units
 Inertia
• More lines and strength on bus – less severe the
transients when energizing
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
91
Generation Restoration
• Unit stability in question during early stages
• More generators on-line = more system stability
– Synchronized inertia
– Frequency and voltage control
• Stronger sources allows more:

Restoration Condition
• A power system restoration condition exists when
large portions of the power system collapse, losing
both voltage and frequency
– Total System Blackout
– Partial System Blackout
– Islanded Power System
 Typically some portion of customer load is being served in
the island
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
94
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
95
Islanded Power Systems
• Islands may be unintentionally created when a
disturbance results in system separation.
• Once an island develops the system operator
should:
– Determine island connectivity
– Stabilize the island frequency
– Stabilize the island voltage
– Ensure equipment is within acceptable loading limits
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
96
Islanded Power Systems
• Islands may also be created intentionally in the
course of the restoration process.
• Multiple islands may be created dependent upon
the restoration process.
• Caution should be exercised with multiple islands
– Simultaneous frequency control
– Spreading thin generation resources (small load blocks)
– Synchronization of multiple islands requires:
 Time
 Coordination
 Careful execution

Island Stabilization
• Determine that an island exists, and the points of
separation.
• It is imperative to immediately monitor and assess
conditions within the island and take any warranted steps
to stabilize.
• Actions from system operators include:
– Switching of reactive control devices
– Generation dispatch/re-dispatch actions
– Transmission switching
– Load shedding
• All the above done in an effort to secure thermal, voltage or
frequency conditions
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
100
Island Stabilization
• Balancing Authority actions include:
– Select flat frequency or tie line bias to stabilize frequency depending
on status of tie lines
– If isolated implement flat frequency mode should be implemented
– If two or more BAs have remained connected
 Flat frequency for the larger area
 Tie line bias for the smaller area
• Transmission operators should consider the potential for
inadvertent reclosing of breakers via synchro-check relay
schemes.
– If warranted system operators should consider blocking these
automatic schemes
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
101
Island
Synchronization
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
102
Synchronizing Theory
• When closing a CB between two separate islands
of the system the voltages on both sides of the CB
are synchronized prior to it’s closing.
• The three aspects of the voltage are called
synchronizing variables:
– The voltage magnitudes
– The frequency of the voltages
– The power angle between the voltages
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
103
Guidelines for Synching Islanded Systems
• Location of synchronizing equipment must be considered
when developing restoration plans.
• The plan should also identify the type of equipment.
 Synch-scope
 Automatic synchronizer
 Synch-check
• The plan should also estimate locations at which
synchronization will likely be required.
• At times it may be better to wait until neighboring systems
have reached minimum reliability requirements before
synchronization
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
104
Assessment Prior to Interconnecting
• Communication between parties involved and
Reliability Coordinators must ensure
understanding of:
– Existing conditions after stabilization
– Considerations to remain stable after synchronization
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
105
Assessment Prior to Interconnecting
• Existing condition assessment includes (but not
limited to):
– Load
– Synchronized Generation
– Prevailing Voltage and Frequency
– System Topology
– System Operating Reserves
– System Reactive Reserves
– First Contingency Loss
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
106
Assessment Prior to Interconnecting
• Consideration to remain stable after synchronization:
– Frequency
 Continue restoration efforts in a manner that prevents excessive
frequency swings
– Voltage
 System operators should discuss desired voltage levels
 In some cases load should be shed or restored as needed to maintain
voltage within limits
– Thermal Issues
 Normal continuous ratings of any single facility should not be exceeded
 Special attention should also be given to tie lines and interfaces
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
107
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
108
Transmission Stability
• Facilities need to be checked before and after
energization
– Aim low on voltage to reduce charging currents
– Facilities must be monitored for loading and voltages
• Only facilities expected to carry significant load
should be energized
• Minimize switching operations
– Excessive switching increases restoration time
– Limited source of energy until L&P are restored
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
109
Charging Consideration
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
110
Restoration Considerations
• Load/Frequency Control
– Small increments of generation and load
 Minimize frequency impacts
– Load pick-ups </= 5% total synchronized generating
capability
 Example: You have 1000 MW of synchronized capacity –
maximum load pick-up is 50 MW
– Frequency maintained between 59.75 – 61.00 Hz
 Regulate toward 60.00 Hz
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
111
Simulation Demonstration
Load Pick-up and Frequency
SERC Restoration_Island Connecting
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
112
Restoration Considerations
• Load/Frequency Control
– Maintain > 59.00 Hz
 May need to use manual load shedding
 Guide – 6-10% for 1 Hz
– Maintain frequency slightly above 60.00 Hz prior to load
pick-up
– Refrain from picking-up UF protected load
 Until load pick-ups are not frequency volatile
 Alternate pick-ups at various steps
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
113
Load/Frequency Control
• Generators will trip off automatically
– Low Frequency at 57.50 Hz. (Under-frequency relay)
– High Frequency at 61.75 Hz. (Over-speed relay)
• Generators may be tripped manually
– Low Frequency of 57.0 Hz.
– High Frequency of 63.0 Hz.
– Find out your generator policies
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
114
Isochronous Control
• A governor that strives to maintain its target
frequency (normally 60 Hz) for all load levels is
known as an isochronous governor
• An isochronous governor will do everything within
its means to maintain 60 Hz
• In the example in theory this generator would vary
its output in the range from 0 MW to 300 MW in
response to system frequency changes
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
115
Isochronous Control (0% droop mode)
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
116
Synchronous Control
• Governor droop is expressed as a percentage of the
frequency change required for a governor to move a unit
from no load to full load or from full load to no load. (provided
the unit capacity is available)
• NERC recommends that all synchronous generators droop
settings are at 5%
• In the example a 5% droop setting means that a 3 Hz (5% of
60 Hz) change in frequency is required to move the
generator across its entire range
• It should be noted that in actual operations generators rarely
operate under load outside of a 59.5 to 60.5 frequency range
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
117
Synchronous Control
(speed droop mode – 5% droop)
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
118
Synchronous vs. Isochronous Control
• Synchronous
– A droop setting (5%) on all generators on a normal
system allows all to respond to frequency deviations
without fighting each other
• Isochronous
– A droop setting (0%) allows these units (typically black-
start) to maintain 60 Hz across their entire range
– Typically in a blackstart situation the isochronous unit
would continually be kept at mid operating range to
control frequency while synchronous units continue to
pick up loads
– Only one unit in an island should be in this mode
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
119
Restoration Considerations
• Who controls frequency?
• Is frequency monitoring available for area?
• Coordination of generators and LSEs
• Generator operator abilities?
• Implication of LSE actions?
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
120
Restoration Considerations
• Reserves
– Ample reserve to cover largest unit in each island
 Generation on-line
 Customer load
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
121
Restoration Considerations
• Interconnecting Islands
– Match frequencies
– Frequency control versus tie-line control
– Best regulating units should be used for frequency
control
 General guide – 2X normal regulation

123
Restoration Considerations
• Island Stability
– Voltages within limits
– Minimal voltage deviations when restoring load
– Frequency within 59.75 and 61.0
– Small frequency deviations when restoring load
– Adequate operating reserves
– Significant amount of U/F load restored
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
124
Restoring Load – Cold Load Pick-up
• Disconnected load will probably be much higher
than when lost
• Experience high peak demands
– Simultaneous starting of motors, compressors, etc
• Inrush currents can be 10 or more times normal
– Dependent on type of load
– Will last 2-4 seconds
– Remain at 150-200% for as long as 30 minutes

Restoration Considerations
• Priority Customers
– Station service to nuclear plants
– Generating plant fuel supply depots
– Other facilities needed for restoration
• Critical Loads
– Military facilities
– Law enforcement organizations
– Public health facilities
– Public communication facilities
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
127
Restoring Load – Automatic Schemes
• System Operators must maintain control of
restoration
• Automatic protection devices should be in service
ASAP
• Automatic restoration schemes should not be
enabled
– Until sufficient portion of generation and load has been
restored
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
128
Restoring Load – Oil Filled Cables
• Loss of power implications
– Oil pressure drops and cable loses temperature
– Gas pockets form
– Can result in fault and damage cable on re-energizing
• Pressures should be verified prior to re-energizing
• System Operators need to know locations of oil
filled cables
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
129
Reserves
• Balancing Area should carry operating reserve to
cover largest unit in each island
– Reserves can be on-line or customer load that can be
shed
• The smaller the area – the more reserve should be
spinning
• Combination of systems may allow for individual
reductions in reserves
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
130
Restoration Considerations
• What is the quickest way to get power nuclear
stations?
• Which feeders contain critical customers?
• Where are the oil-filled cables and pumping facilities
on your system?
• What are the operating parameters for oil-filled
cables?
• What are the loads of the distribution feeders?
• Where are UF relays and what are their settings?
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
131
Quick Review
• System Frequency – 60.05 Hz
• Generating Capacity – 1,800 MW
• System Load – 1,000 MW
• What is the maximum amount of load block that
should be restored?
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
132
Quick Review
• What is the maximum amount of load block that
should be restored?
1,800 MW x 5% =
90 MW
2014 Power System Restoration Drill
133
Quick Review
• System Load = 3,400
• System frequency drops to 58.50 Hz
• How much load needs to be dropped to get
frequency back to 60.00 Hz?
3400 X 6-10% = ??MW/1 Hz
Between 204 and 340 MW
306 to 510 MW for 1.5 Hz

  • 85. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 85 Restoration Considerations • Voltage Control – Bulk Power system maintained 90% - 110 % – Maintain voltages at minimum levels will reduce charging current – Local load must be restored as transmission lines are energized to reduce voltages  Station light and power  Customer load
  • 86. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 86 Simulation Demonstration Voltage Control with Load SERC Restoration_Voltage Control
  • 87. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 87
  • 88. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 88 Restoration Considerations • Voltage Control – Balance reactive resources  Line charging  Shunt capacitors  Removed from service until sufficient load restored  Shunt reactors  Placed in service early to reduce voltage  Static VAR Compensators and Condensers  Automatic control - in service as soon as practical  Generator MVAR capabilities
  • 89. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 89 Restoration Considerations • Interconnecting – Generating plants or stations with synchroscopes  Phase angle should be 10o or less • Transmission Stability – Only facilities expected to carry significant load should be energized
  • 90. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 90 Restoration Considerations • Transient Stability Factors dependent on: – Strength of transmission network – Strength of tie-lines to the outside – Characteristics of Generating units  Inertia • More lines and strength on bus – less severe the transients when energizing
  • 91. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 91 Generation Restoration • Unit stability in question during early stages • More generators on-line = more system stability – Synchronized inertia – Frequency and voltage control • Stronger sources allows more: – Circuit energization – Unit start-ups – Spinning reserves – Load pick-ups
  • 92. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 92 Island Identification and Stabilization
  • 93. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 93 Restoration Condition • A power system restoration condition exists when large portions of the power system collapse, losing both voltage and frequency – Total System Blackout – Partial System Blackout – Islanded Power System  Typically some portion of customer load is being served in the island
  • 94. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 94
  • 95. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 95 Islanded Power Systems • Islands may be unintentionally created when a disturbance results in system separation. • Once an island develops the system operator should: – Determine island connectivity – Stabilize the island frequency – Stabilize the island voltage – Ensure equipment is within acceptable loading limits
  • 96. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 96 Islanded Power Systems • Islands may also be created intentionally in the course of the restoration process. • Multiple islands may be created dependent upon the restoration process. • Caution should be exercised with multiple islands – Simultaneous frequency control – Spreading thin generation resources (small load blocks) – Synchronization of multiple islands requires:  Time  Coordination  Careful execution
  • 97. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 97 • Five Islands • One blackedout area – Southern Idaho – Loss of 11,750MW Blackout Area
  • 98. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 98 Simulation Demonstration Island Identification SERC Restoration_Island Identification
  • 99. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 99 Island Stabilization • Determine that an island exists, and the points of separation. • It is imperative to immediately monitor and assess conditions within the island and take any warranted steps to stabilize. • Actions from system operators include: – Switching of reactive control devices – Generation dispatch/re-dispatch actions – Transmission switching – Load shedding • All the above done in an effort to secure thermal, voltage or frequency conditions
  • 100. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 100 Island Stabilization • Balancing Authority actions include: – Select flat frequency or tie line bias to stabilize frequency depending on status of tie lines – If isolated implement flat frequency mode should be implemented – If two or more BAs have remained connected  Flat frequency for the larger area  Tie line bias for the smaller area • Transmission operators should consider the potential for inadvertent reclosing of breakers via synchro-check relay schemes. – If warranted system operators should consider blocking these automatic schemes
  • 101. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 101 Island Synchronization
  • 102. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 102 Synchronizing Theory • When closing a CB between two separate islands of the system the voltages on both sides of the CB are synchronized prior to it’s closing. • The three aspects of the voltage are called synchronizing variables: – The voltage magnitudes – The frequency of the voltages – The power angle between the voltages
  • 103. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 103 Guidelines for Synching Islanded Systems • Location of synchronizing equipment must be considered when developing restoration plans. • The plan should also identify the type of equipment.  Synch-scope  Automatic synchronizer  Synch-check • The plan should also estimate locations at which synchronization will likely be required. • At times it may be better to wait until neighboring systems have reached minimum reliability requirements before synchronization
  • 104. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 104 Assessment Prior to Interconnecting • Communication between parties involved and Reliability Coordinators must ensure understanding of: – Existing conditions after stabilization – Considerations to remain stable after synchronization
  • 105. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 105 Assessment Prior to Interconnecting • Existing condition assessment includes (but not limited to): – Load – Synchronized Generation – Prevailing Voltage and Frequency – System Topology – System Operating Reserves – System Reactive Reserves – First Contingency Loss
  • 106. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 106 Assessment Prior to Interconnecting • Consideration to remain stable after synchronization: – Frequency  Continue restoration efforts in a manner that prevents excessive frequency swings – Voltage  System operators should discuss desired voltage levels  In some cases load should be shed or restored as needed to maintain voltage within limits – Thermal Issues  Normal continuous ratings of any single facility should not be exceeded  Special attention should also be given to tie lines and interfaces
  • 107. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 107
  • 108. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 108 Transmission Stability • Facilities need to be checked before and after energization – Aim low on voltage to reduce charging currents – Facilities must be monitored for loading and voltages • Only facilities expected to carry significant load should be energized • Minimize switching operations – Excessive switching increases restoration time – Limited source of energy until L&P are restored
  • 109. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 109 Charging Consideration
  • 110. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 110 Restoration Considerations • Load/Frequency Control – Small increments of generation and load  Minimize frequency impacts – Load pick-ups </= 5% total synchronized generating capability  Example: You have 1000 MW of synchronized capacity – maximum load pick-up is 50 MW – Frequency maintained between 59.75 – 61.00 Hz  Regulate toward 60.00 Hz
  • 111. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 111 Simulation Demonstration Load Pick-up and Frequency SERC Restoration_Island Connecting
  • 112. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 112 Restoration Considerations • Load/Frequency Control – Maintain > 59.00 Hz  May need to use manual load shedding  Guide – 6-10% for 1 Hz – Maintain frequency slightly above 60.00 Hz prior to load pick-up – Refrain from picking-up UF protected load  Until load pick-ups are not frequency volatile  Alternate pick-ups at various steps
  • 113. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 113 Load/Frequency Control • Generators will trip off automatically – Low Frequency at 57.50 Hz. (Under-frequency relay) – High Frequency at 61.75 Hz. (Over-speed relay) • Generators may be tripped manually – Low Frequency of 57.0 Hz. – High Frequency of 63.0 Hz. – Find out your generator policies
  • 114. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 114 Isochronous Control • A governor that strives to maintain its target frequency (normally 60 Hz) for all load levels is known as an isochronous governor • An isochronous governor will do everything within its means to maintain 60 Hz • In the example in theory this generator would vary its output in the range from 0 MW to 300 MW in response to system frequency changes
  • 115. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 115 Isochronous Control (0% droop mode)
  • 116. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 116 Synchronous Control • Governor droop is expressed as a percentage of the frequency change required for a governor to move a unit from no load to full load or from full load to no load. (provided the unit capacity is available) • NERC recommends that all synchronous generators droop settings are at 5% • In the example a 5% droop setting means that a 3 Hz (5% of 60 Hz) change in frequency is required to move the generator across its entire range • It should be noted that in actual operations generators rarely operate under load outside of a 59.5 to 60.5 frequency range
  • 117. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 117 Synchronous Control (speed droop mode – 5% droop)
  • 118. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 118 Synchronous vs. Isochronous Control • Synchronous – A droop setting (5%) on all generators on a normal system allows all to respond to frequency deviations without fighting each other • Isochronous – A droop setting (0%) allows these units (typically black- start) to maintain 60 Hz across their entire range – Typically in a blackstart situation the isochronous unit would continually be kept at mid operating range to control frequency while synchronous units continue to pick up loads – Only one unit in an island should be in this mode
  • 119. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 119 Restoration Considerations • Who controls frequency? • Is frequency monitoring available for area? • Coordination of generators and LSEs • Generator operator abilities? • Implication of LSE actions?
  • 120. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 120 Restoration Considerations • Reserves – Ample reserve to cover largest unit in each island  Generation on-line  Customer load
  • 121. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 121 Restoration Considerations • Interconnecting Islands – Match frequencies – Frequency control versus tie-line control – Best regulating units should be used for frequency control  General guide – 2X normal regulation
  • 122. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 122 Simulation Demonstration Island Connecting SERC Restoration_Island Connecting
  • 123. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 123 Restoration Considerations • Island Stability – Voltages within limits – Minimal voltage deviations when restoring load – Frequency within 59.75 and 61.0 – Small frequency deviations when restoring load – Adequate operating reserves – Significant amount of U/F load restored
  • 124. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 124 Restoring Load – Cold Load Pick-up • Disconnected load will probably be much higher than when lost • Experience high peak demands – Simultaneous starting of motors, compressors, etc • Inrush currents can be 10 or more times normal – Dependent on type of load – Will last 2-4 seconds – Remain at 150-200% for as long as 30 minutes

  • 129. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 129 Reserves • Balancing Area should carry operating reserve to cover largest unit in each island – Reserves can be on-line or customer load that can be shed • The smaller the area – the more reserve should be spinning • Combination of systems may allow for individual reductions in reserves
  • 130. 2014 Power System Restoration Drill 130 Restoration Considerations • What is the quickest way to get power nuclear stations? • Which feeders contain critical customers? • Where are the oil-filled cables and pumping facilities on your system? • What are the operating parameters for oil-filled cables? • What are the loads of the distribution feeders? • Where are UF relays and what are their settings?
