1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Objective This document describes Seminole’s methodology used to determine the Normal Rating and Emergency Rating of Seminole transmission and generation Facilities.

Seminole’s Normal Rating and Emergency Rating for each of Seminole’s Facilities will not exceed the most limiting rating for each Element or individual piece of equipment that makes up that Facility

1.2. NERC FAC-008 Compliance It is the intent of this document to demonstrate Seminole’s compliance with NERC Reliability Standard FAC-008 to ensure that the Facility Ratings used in the reliable planning and operation of the BES are based on established methodologies.

1.2.1. Seminole further demonstrates compliance by documenting and making readily available Seminole’s Normal Ratings and Emergency Ratings.

1.2.2. Equipment is specified, designed, and applied for the full ranges of voltage, current, frequency, fault current, transient conditions, and ambient conditions to which it is expected to be subject. This consideration of operating limitations is applicable to all equipment on the BES.

1.2.3. Seminole’s Facility Ratings are published in its BES Facility Ratings documentation, these ratings are subject to change as required for technical, operational, and business applications that may require re-rating Facilities.

1.2.4. The following specifically demonstrates compliance to NERC FAC-008 requirements:

1.2.4.1. Seminole shall make its Facility Ratings Methodology available for inspection and technical review by those Reliability Coordinators, Transmission Operators, Transmission Planners, and Planning Authorities that have responsibility for the area in which the associated Facilities are located, within 15 business days of receipt of a request.

1.2.4.2. If a Reliability Coordinator, Transmission Operator, Transmission Planner, or Planning Authority provides written comments on its technical review of Seminole’s Facility Ratings Methodology, Seminole shall provide a written response to that commenting entity within 45 calendar days of receipt of those comments. The response

of 37

shall indicate whether a change will be made to the Facility Ratings Methodology and, if no change will be made to that Facility Ratings Methodology, the reason for the no change.

1.3. Seminole’s Normal Rating This section describes Seminole’s Normal Rating methodologies for all transmission Elements. Seminole’s Normal Rating methodologies for all generation Elements are described separately in Sections 12 and 13 of this document.

1.3.1. Summer Rating – the summer rating is based on manufacturer’s nameplate, manufacturer’s recommendations, the design of the Element, or industry standards, and takes into consideration the ambient conditions.

1.3.2. Winter Rating – Seminole’s winter rating for all generation and transmission equipment is the Loadability Factor (LF) that takes advantage of lower ambient temperatures. The winter rating is derived from multiplying the summer rating by the LF of that Element.

1.4. Seminole’s Four-Hour Rating Seminole’s four-hour summer rating equals the summer Normal Rating and the four-hour winter rating equals the winter Normal Rating.

1.5. Seminole’s Emergency Rating This section describes Seminole’s Emergency Rating methodologies for all transmission Elements. Seminole’s Emergency Rating methodologies for all generation Elements are described separately in Sections 12 and 13 of this document. Seminole’s Emergency Ratings for transmission Elements are based on pre-event loading of the equipment, ambient conditions, and, unless stated otherwise, a 7-minute post-event duration that the equipment will be allowed to run at the Facility’s Emergency Rating. The Emergency Rating is determined by multiplying a Multiplying Factor (MF) to the Element’s summer Normal Rating.

Seminole utilizes two philosophies for pre-event loading:

1.5.1. Station Equipment (Power Transformers, Shunt Compensation Devices, Series Compensation Devices, and Generators), Relay Protective Devices and Terminal Equipment – 100% pre-event loading.

1.5.2. Transmission Lines – the Emergency Rating for Seminole transmission lines will be determined from the actual pre-event loading of the transmission line to determine the allowable post-event loading.

of 37

1.6. Implementation Prior to December 30, 2011, Seminole’s Emergency Ratings were equivalent to the Normal Ratings. Effective December 30, 2011, Seminole incorporated new Normal Ratings and Emergency Ratings system-wide. As these ratings are revised, they will be added to Seminole’s BES Facility Ratings documentation.

of 37

2. TRANSMISSION FACILITIES Seminole overhead transmission lines are designed and operated so that the conductor maintains a safe clearance from objects, including: vegetation, buildings, vehicles and people. These clearances are determined by the NESC and followed by Seminole through the use of the individual line design characteristics. While manufacturer conductor temperatures and minimal loss of life recommendations are considered, Seminole has accepted additional loss of life in the conductor with transmission line designs at higher maximum temperatures not exceeding temperatures herein.

2.1. Normal Rating Seminole’s Normal Rating is based on the individual transmission line’s design parameters. These design parameters with consideration of the thermal limitation and maximum conductor sag specific to each line are used to maintain minimum NESC clearances.

2.1.1. Design Considerations – Each of Seminole’s transmission line’s have individual thermal limitations. Following is a list of typical conductors in use by Seminole and the maximum operating temperatures not to be exceeded:

• AAC - 85°C • ACSR - 115°C • ACSS - 200°C

In addition, the following line parameters are Seminole’s standard in rating all Seminole conductor:

Parameter Value Wind Speed, perpendicular to the conductor 3.0 ft / s

Latitude/Azimuth 30°/0° Altitude 40 ft Time/Day 12:00 PM/Jun 10 Environmental Conditions Clear

Ambient Temperature Summer - 35°C

Winter - 0°C Operated Temperature (°C )/Coefficient of Emissivity

75°C - 0.9

Operated Temperature (°C )/Coefficient of Solar Absorption

75°C - 0.9

2.1.2. Design Tools – Seminole utilizes Southwires’® SWRate version 3.0 to perform the Calculations required. SWRate’s calculations are based on IEEE Standard 738[1].

2.2. Emergency Rating Seminole’s Emergency Rating is based on the pre-event loading of the transmission line. For clearance purposes, Seminole’s transmission lines will not be allowed to exceed the designed thermal limitation of that transmission line

2.2.1. Design Considerations – Seminole utilizes the same design and ambient parameters in determining the Emergency Rating as are used in calculating the Normal Rating of the transmission line. Additionally the following pre-event loading parameters are utilized:

2.2.2. Pre-Event Loading – The transmission line’s allowable MF will depend on the pre-event loading of the transmission line. The resulting allowable current will be limited to the maximum operating temperature of the transmission line.

2.2.3. Design Tools – Seminole utilizes Southwires’® SWRate version 3.0 to perform the Calculations required. SWRate’s calculations are based on IEEE Standard 738[1].

3. POWER TRANSFORMER

3.1. Power Transformer – Generator Step-Up Seminole’s Generator Step Up (GSU) transformer capacities are based on the manufacturers nameplate rating of the unit. Seminole’s GSUs Normal Rating and Emergency Rating are equal.

3.1.1. Normal Rating - Seminole’s Normal Rating for all GSUs are the manufacturer’s nameplate rating.

3.1.1.1. Summer – Seminole uses the manufacturer’s nameplate rating.

3.1.1.2. Winter – Seminole’s winter rating is the same as the summer rating of the unit.

3.1.2. Emergency Rating – Seminole’s Emergency Rating equals the Normal Rating.

3.2. Power Transformer – Transmission Seminole does not own or operate any BES transmission power transformers; however, the following is Seminole’s rating methodology for transmission power transformers.

Seminole’s transmission power transformer capacities are based on the manufacturers nameplate rating of the unit.

3.2.1. Normal Rating

3.2.1.1. Summer – Seminole summer rating is the manufacturer’s nameplate rating of the unit.

3.2.1.2. Winter – Seminole’s winter rating is the same as the summer rating of the unit.

3.2.2. Emergency Rating – Seminole’s Emergency Rating Methodology for transmission power transformers is based on IEEE standard C57.92. IEEE has withdrawn this standard; however, Seminole has decided to retain the standard for Seminole’s Emergency Rating based on the following understandings and believes these values to be conservative based on the parameters chosen:

3.2.2.1. Transmission power transformers will not typically experience 100% of loading levels pre-event. Seminole has chosen MF values from IEEE C57.92 based on 100% pre-event loading of the transformer.

3.2.2.2. Seminole’s Emergency Rating transmission power transformers will not be post-event loaded beyond the 7-minute emergency duration.

of 37

Seminole has chosen MF values from IEEE C57.92 based on 30-minute post-event loading resulting in a calculated maximum loss of life of 0.25%.

3.2.2.2.1. Rating Considerations: The following assumptions are not to be exceeded. IEEE C57.92 does not specifically indicate loading beyond the nameplate for the 7 minute duration assumptions provided below. Therefore, Seminole has adopted the 30 minute loading with a 0.25% loss of life as the Emergency Rating. To simplify transformer Rating Methodology, Seminole has adopted the 65°C rise above ambient for 55°C and 65°C rise transformers. This rating is more conservative than the 55°C rise and will be used for all transmission power transformers regardless of the transformer’s rise.

• 65°C rise • 40°C summer, 0°C winter • 0.25% loss of life within a 24 hour period • 100% load prior to peak load

5. INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMER

5.1. Instrument Transformer – Potential Rating of potential devices is beyond the scope of this methodology.

These devices do not have a Normal Rating or an Emergency Rating due to their designed application. Potential transformers (PT, VT, CCVT) are specified for the kV range of its transmission, substation, or generation system.

5.2. Instrument Transfer – Current For Seminole’s owned or operated Current Transformers (CT, CVT), Seminole’s Normal Rating and Emergency Rating are the same. The CT manufacturer develops and supplies the CTs with a rating factor (RF) and any overload factors to those units.

5.2.1. Rating Assumptions:

5.2.1.1. Average ambient temperature, air cooled over a 24hr period, 30°C

5.2.1.2. Maximum ambient temperature of 40°C

5.2.1.2.1. Seminole has accepted the slight loss of life for the occasion when average temperatures exceed 30°C or maximum ambient temperatures exceed 40°C.

5.3. Instrument Transfer – Current Bushing 5.3.1. Rating CTs – Per IEEE Standard C57.13, “Temperature rise of current

transformers that are a part of high-voltage power circuit breakers or power transformers shall be in accord with IEEE Standard C37.04 or IEEE Standard C57.12.00, respectively.” For bushing CTs operating at other than maximum turns ratio, the thermal RF must be used in conjunction with the operating turns ratio in determining the rating of the CT.


5.3.2.1. Summer – Seminole’s summer rating for bushing CTs are the manufacturer’s nameplate times the transformer’s RF at the bushing CTs operating turns ratio.

5.3.2.1.1. A 3000A bushing CT, with an RF of 1.5, operated at 1500:5 will have a Normal Rating of 1500A X 1.5 = 2250A.

5.3.2.2. Winter – Seminole’s winter rating for bushing CTs takes advantage of lower ambient temperatures as shown in Figure 1-55 °C rise current

13.6.2.3. Although rated for 105°C, the IEEE Standard 835 does not contain a table for 105°C copper conductor, concentric strand; the more conservative rating 90ºC table is used.

13.6.2.4. Cable losses and required area to dissipate the heat generated under load are calculated and shown below to allow using the rating applicable “in Free Air”.

13.6.2.5. NEMA Standard WC-74 Table 2-3 lists the resistance for 750-kcmil cable @ 25 ºC at 0.0146 ohms/K ft.

of 37

13.6.2.6. Assuming cable operating temperature at 70 degrees C (78% of rated temperature), the resistance is 0.01736 ohms/K ft.

13.6.2.7. With 36 heat sources and load factor of 100%, the losses are 207.69 watts/ft.

13.6.2.8. For every 5 feet of solid non-ventilated trench there is a ventilated section of 30 by 40 inches.

13.6.2.9. The ventilated sections are covered with grating capable of taking H20 traffic.

13.7.4.1. If the contingency of the Hardee/Vandolah 230 kV double circuits occurs and the overload on the Hardee/Polk line is 140% or higher, the Special Protection System (SPS) will automatically trip the online MGS Peakers. If the Interconnection Reliability Operating Limit (IROL) and System Operating Limit (SOL) still exist, SECI will coordinate manually backing down the online generation at MGS and HPS until the loading on the line is 100% or less.

13.7.4.2. If the contingency of the Hardee/Vandolah 230 kV double circuits occurs and the overload on the Hardee/Polk line is between 100% and 140%, the SPS will not trip. SECI will coordinate manually backing down the online generation at MGS and HPS until the loading on the line is 100% or less.

13.7.4.3. If the contingency of the Hardee/Vandolah 230 kV double circuits occurs and the overload on the Hardee/Polk line is 140% or higher, the SPS will automatically trip the online MGS Peakers. SECI will monitor the loading on the Hardee/Polk line. SECI will initiate any increase in generation output at HPS and MGS to prevent the potential overload on the Hardee/Polk 230 kV line.
