30125: Design Guide for Station Buswork: Accommodating Additions, Substitutions & Growth of Capacity

This document provides guidance for the development of bus work designs for new substations and the upgrading and uprating of existing substations. It reviews the reliability of various bus configurations, environmental and aesthetic considerations, short circuit mechanical loads on bus structures, and related forces on rigid and strain buses. It also covers ampacity requirements, insulation coordination, public and personnel safety considerations, and good practices for maintenance and asset ma

3110: Transmission Planning Risk Indices

The concept of risk is widely acknowledged in transmission planning. However, there is nouniformity or industry consensus in the manner in which risk is dealt with. While some utilities(IOU, ISO or Government Agency) have highly developed models and tools to deal with risk,others acknowledge risk, but take no apparent action. Consequently, each utility uses a customset of risk measures in the transmission planning process. While the rationale for the creation ofthese risk indices is to enable th

0601: Hydro Generation Guideline for Enterprise Risk Management

This study developed an asset-focused risk management framework with associated guidelines for implementation. The framework details hydro generation-specific asset information, but is broadly applicable to all types of generation assets. The framework development process involved:– Reviewing industry standards (ISO 31000, ISO 55000, ISO 14224, ISO 60812, International Infrastructure Management Manual, and Institute of Asset Management Subject Specific Guidelines)– Documenting a proc

3903: Technical Review For The Setting And Verification Of Power System Stabilizers As Part Of Generator Excitation Control Systems

This report provides utility professionals with comprehensive information about the purpose, design and functionality of power system stabilizers (PSS) – the methodology for tuning and periodic performance verification. It also provides a detailed overview of PSS commissioning practices and the dynamic tests required to determine the overall excitation system effectiveness and compliance with the requirements of NERC Reliability Standards. It also reviews actual application factors and cas

3115: Maximizing Transmission Capability on Existing Rights-of-Way

This report discusses the practical ways by means of which existing ac transmission lines can be upgraded for increased power transfer capability. Twenty different methods of maximizing transmission capability are presented and discussed. Where relevant, their applications to Canadian situations are highlighted along with suggestions for further development where pertinent technologies are still evolving. When an upgrade is contemplated, actual outage time for the transmission line must be minim

33127: Transmission Line Structures Under Downbursts and Tornadoes

Downbursts and tornadoes belong to a category of windstorm events often referred to as High-Intensity Wind (HIW). They represent a major hazard for transmission line (TL) structures as many failures occurred during HIW in various countries around the globe, including Canada. As such, a vigorous research program related to this subject was conducted during the past fifteen years at the University of Western Ontario (UWO). In the first part of this report, a summary of the outcomes of this e

0525: Compressed Air Energy Storage Pre-Feasibility Study

Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is a technology which requires a multi-disciplinary approach to itsimplementation. Three major sub-divisions in the study of the feasibility of CAES in Ontario areenumerated: geology and geography, facility configuration and design and economics. Applicablegeography and geology in Southwestern Ontario is discussed. CAES is also proposed as an enablingtechnology for high levels of wind turbine penetration in Ontario. State-of-the-art in CAES facilitytechnology

3255: CPF: Commissioning Guide for Transmission Lines

The main purpose of this report is to develop for the CEATI members a commission guideline documenting detailed step by step directions on how to develop a plan to commission newly installed power transmission lines. The commissioning guideline identifies the deliverables and tasks owned by the commissioning agent during each construction phase, their roles and responsibilities and the overall commissioning process to ensure that the owner’s project requirements are met. In addition, the r

3363: LiDAR Analysis of Existing Transmission Lines: Survey of WISMIG Utility Practices

The use of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) surveys is becoming more popular in the transmission line industry. A number of WISMIG utilities are using LiDAR surveys as an alternative to ground based surveys which are time consuming and hazardous at times. Some utilities use LiDAR for vegetation management while others use them for up-rating and asset management, etc. This benchmarking study was carried out to gather information on the practices of various WISMIG utilities, and the vendors us
