Implementing the GDC GDC-1 7 FSAR I TS LOcAISO TCA (App E)

The Transmission Control Agreement (TCA) is a FERC approved agreement that the CAISO is committed to fulfill.

5

GDC-17

...an offsite electric power system...shall...provide sufficient capacity and capability to assure that (1) specified acceptable fuel design limits and design conditions of the reactor coolant pressure boundary are not exceeded as a result of anticipated operational occurrences and (2) the core is cooled and containment integrity and other vital functions are maintained in the event of postulated accidents.

Electric power from the transmission network to the onsite electric distribution system shall be supplied by two physically independent circuits (not necessarily on separate rights of way) designed and located so as to minimize to the extent practical the likelihood of their simultaneous failure under operating and postulated accident and environmental conditions.

emphasis added 6

GDC1 7 (Continued)

Each of these circuits shall be designed to be available in sufficient time following a loss of all onsite alternating current power supplies and the other offsite electric power circuit, to assure that specified acceptable fuel design limits and design conditions of the reactor coolant pressure boundary are not exceeded.

Provisions shall be included to minimize the probability of losing electric power from any of the remaining supplies as a result of, or coincident with, the loss of power generated by the nuclear power unit, the loss of power from the transmission network, or the loss of power from the onsite electric power supplies.

emphasis added 7

UFSAR

  • The maximum sustained voltage fluctuation for the SCE switchyard is within the limits of 21 8-kV and 238-kV.
  • The preferred power sources are two physically and electrically independent 230-kV systems, one SCE and the other the SDG&E system.
  • Design provisions, which safeguard against loss of power to the switchyard due to electrical disturbances, are supported by detailed analytical electrical studies
  • Loss of the single largest unit on the system will result in a momentary frequency drop of the system of less than 0.2 Hz.

Technical Specification

  • Bases 3.8.1 Each offsite circuit must be capable of maintaining rated frequency and voltage, and accepting required loads during an accident, while connected to Class 1E buses.
  • LCO. 3.8.1 Two qualified circuits between the offsite transmission network and the onsite Class 1E AC Electrical Power Distribution System (shall be OPERABLE)
  • SR 3.8.1.11 Maintain steady state frequency Ž 59.7 and < 61.2 HZ 11

CAISO Transmission Control Agreement

  • The basic requirement for offsite power supply is that it provide sufficient capacity and capability to safely shut down the reactor and to mitigate certain specified accident scenarios.
  • When this condition is met, the offsite power supply system is considered OPERABLE with respect to the SONG Operating License and Technical Specifications.
  • It is a necessary condition of the Operating License that the offsite power supply be OPERABLE at all times.

12

CAISO Transmission Control Agreement (continued)

In order for the offsite power supply to be OPERABLE:

/( The SONGS switchyard voltage must stay within the range of 218 to 238kV under all normal and plant accident conditions

/ It is imperative that a unit trip not impair the Operability of the offsite power system.

X Following a trip of a SONGS unit, the SONGS switchyard voltage must recover and be maintained at or above 218kV within 2.5 seconds following the trip.

X The SONGS offsite power source shall be capable of providing 158MW and 96 MVAR to SONGS for normal operation and for shutting down the units during plant DBA conditions.

v A trip of one SONGS unit shall not cause a sustained grid frequency drop below 59.7 Hertz.

13

CAISO Transmission Control Agreement (continued)

System Operating procedures and programs shall be in place to ensure that various system operation conditions, including multiple contingency events, are evaluated and understood, such that impaired or potentially degraded conditions are recognized, assessed and communicated to the SONGS control room.

  • NRC Questions 19

Grid Analysis

  • CAISO and SCE participate in reviewing grid limits for intertie lines.

- System vulnerabilities change between different seasons

- Results are approved by the WECC.

  • SCE prepares operating nomograms as part of Grid Control Center Operating Procedure -13 (OP-1 3) that defines the safe operating region for SONGS and the surrounding grid to maintain adequate grid voltage for safety related systems.

- CAISO reviews and accepts results.

  • CAISO and SCE Operations Engineering will perform analysis on proposed grid changes / outages that are not covered by OP-13, SONGS Voltage, before they are allowed.

20

GCC Operating Procedure - 13 Developed to identify any transmission outage(s) in conjunction with one SONGS unit off line that could result in the SONGS 230 kV switchyard voltage being below 218 kV.

- 218 kV is required to assure proper operation of the safety systems should the remaining SONGS unit trip.

  • Reviewed or updated annually or when necessary due to grid changes.
  • Reviewed and approved by the CAISO.
  • Includes twelve transmission contingencies with various combinations of 28 other generating units and 27 capacitor banks.
  • Nomogram monitored by the SCE GCC and the CAISO.

Management of Load and Resource Balance

  • CAISO as the control area operator, is responsible for providing adequate operating reserves.
  • Operating reserves are unloaded generation or resources that can be made available within 10 minutes to respond to the loss of generation to restore load and resource balance.
  • For normal operation, the operating reserve requirement is about 6.8%.
  • If operating reserves are insufficient, the CAISO will procure additional reserves.
  • If no additional reserves are available, then the CAISO will request voluntary load curtailment when reserves fall below 5%. Mandatory load is curtailed if reserves are expected to drop lower.

Communications

  • Control areas such as CAISO, BPA and LADWP are responsible to communicate system events among effected parties.
  • Control areas are also responsible for coordination of interconnecting transmission and generation outages that effect other control area grids.
  • SCE responsible to coordinate with CAISO any planned maintenance and construction outages, and also forced outages of transmission lines.
  • SCE Grid Control Center communicates to SONGS if offsite power operability cannot be maintained through OP-13.

August 25, 2005 HVDC Line Outage (continued)

  • CAISO had required NERC / WECC control area operating reserves prior to the event.
  • Voltages were not an issue and the load / resource balance recovered within the required timeframe of 15 minutes.
  • After the event the southern part of the ISO control area had insufficient reserves to mitigate an overload of the Midway-Vincent transmission path resulting in the need for load curtailment.
  • Inadequate communication between CAISO, LADWP and BPA contributed to the need for shedding of CAISO load.
  • Grid performed well and grid reliability preserved. All systems operated properly including BPA generator dropping scheme.

32

August 25, 2005 HVDC Line Outage (continued)

  • Observations from this event:

- Communications between LADWP, CAISO and BPA need to improve on the operation of the HVDC line to reduce the exposure to unnecessary load curtailment.

- CAISO management of the grid preserved grid reliability.

- CAISO's broad view of system enabled framework for proper reliability decision.

- During the 2003 NE blackout, proper management of grid reliability would have required early load curtailment.

PRA Model /Maintenance Rule Program (continued)

Two "off-normal" operating conditions that increase the average LOOP IE Switchyard Maintenance - Maintenance Personnel, Trucks/Cranes in the Switchyard; Plant-Centered LOOP IE increased by Factor - 3 based on latest draft update to NUREG/CR-5496

  • As a normal practice, switchyard maintenance is conservatively assumed to be in effect in San Onofre's (a)(4) maintenance planning process 36
