Situation 1
The addition of a TADS Element on a common structure with a non-new reportable TADS Element – Based on new
NERC definition for BES to include all elements 100 kV and above
In this situation, AC Circuit CF was placed on a common structure with an existing 138 69 kV circuit. For TADS, this common structure situation shall not be included in the Multi-Circuit Structure Mile calculation. For TADS, you are only to report those Multi-Circuit Structure Miles where two or more TADS Elements share a common structure.
The calculations for AC Circuit CF are the same as in the Base Model.
Base Case and Situation 1 Multi-Circuit Structure Miles Data, Form 3.5
Appendix 9 – Detailed Automatic Outage Data Examples
The following examples illustrate several AC Circuit Automatic Outages scenarios accompanied by (in most cases) a Transformer Automatic Outage scenario. Data entries for each scenario are shown in tables along with each scenario. Finally, illustrations of the applicable sections of Form 4.1, Form 4.2 and Form 5 with the appropriate data entries for all outages are shown. While not all possible situations could be covered, the examples are complete enough to help with outage interpretation.
Example 1: Three-terminal AC Circuit with a new reportable TADS Element – Based on the new NERC definition of all facilities 100 kV and above are TADS elements.
This is a three terminal AC Circuit with a new TADS Element attached to one of the segments. The new TADS Element, based on the new BES element definitions of 100 kV and above, is the 345/138 kV Transformer. Since the Transformer is now considered a TADS Element, outages to the transformer are now reportable.
It is important to note in this example the application of the TADS In-Service State definition. There is only one exception, the multi-terminal transformer exception, that an Element be “connected at all its terminals” to be considered in an In-Service State. This exception applies only to a multi-terminal AC Circuit with a Transformer on one terminal sharing a breaker with the circuit.
Figure A9-1 Figure A9-2
All circuits are 230 kV
In both figures, the AC Circuit is bounded by AC Substations “A,” “B,” and “C” as indicated by the red arcs. Each Transformer’s boundaries are the red disconnect switch and the red arc before the breaker. Note, that the Transformer in either figure may or may not be a reportable Element (i.e., one with a low-side voltage ≥ 100 kV).
Assume that each Transformer is out of service because of the operation of its associated breaker (indicated in green). In Figure A9-1, the AC Circuit would normally be considered out of service since the breaker at AC Substation C, which is shared by the AC Circuit and the Transformer, is open. Nevertheless, if all other portions of the AC Circuit are in service, the entire AC Circuit is considered to be in an In-Service State even if the Transformer is out of service. Because TADS does not recognize partial outage states, the multi-terminal exception above was developed. This avoids overstating the outage contribution of this multi-terminal configuration type. In Figure A9-2, the open breaker is not shared by the AC Circuit, and the AC Circuit remains connected. Thus, the exception does not apply in this case since the AC Circuit is connected at all its terminals even though the Transformer is out of service.
