Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 Xn the Matter of FLORXDA POWER 6 LIGHT COMPANY (St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 2)

Docket No. 50.-389

Dear Members of the Board:

Since it, last filed, prepared testimony on June 22, 1979, Florida Power Light Company has conducted studies of the S

1980 Florida to Georgia tie and of different electrical con-figurations between the St. Lucie Plant and the FPL grid.

Summaries of these studies were made available to Mr. Edward J.

Fowlkes of FERC and to the NRC Staff. Copies of these sum-maries are herewith provided for your information. They consist of the following:

1) Attachment A presents the results of a summary evaluation of the 1980 230KV tie between Florida Power 6 Light Company and Georgia Power Company.

The response of the grid to loss of generation was investigated for the years 1980 and 1983.

Attachment A TRANSIENT STABILITY EVALUATION OF THE IMPACT OF. THE NEW 230 KV TIE BE%WEEN FPGL AND GEORGIA POWER CO ~

This is an analysis of the impact of the new 230 kV tie between Florida Power & Light Company and Georgia Power Company.

The purpose of the analysis was to evaluate the relative improve-ment in system transient response following loss of generation in South Florida. System configurations for 1980, when the tie goes in service, and 1983,'when St. Lucie g2 goes in service, were analyzed.

Two basic assumptions are made in this study:

1. All systems are at their peak summer loading conditions.

e

2. There is no scheduled interchange between Pen'nsular Flor'ida and Georgia Power Company.

Given the above assumptions, the following ge'"..e=ation losses, in roughly 200 megawatt increments, were simulated with the new tie in and out of service:

Units Lost K0 Loss

1. St. Lucre "r.1 777

2. St. Lucie "-.'.1 981 Pt. Everglades g2

3. S t. Lucie ~ 1 1144 Turkey Pt. Sl St. Lucie gl 1348 Pt. Everglades ~2 Turkey Pt. ~1

System response was observed to detect the beginning of relay actions and breaker operations that sr'.'ll isolate Peninsular Florida from the Georgia system. The follocring is a summary of the simulations and the observed system responses at the end of th- 10 second simulations.

1980 Summer Peak System Res onse Gener'ation With Tie in Tie Hot in Loss (biPT) Service Service 777 None None 981 None Separation begins at 8.0 seconds 1144 None Separation begins at 6.2 seconds 1983 Sunder Peak S stem Response Generation With Tie in Tie Not in Loss (Ni 1) Service Service 777 Hone None None Separation begins at

4. 5 seconds 1 14$ None Separation begins at 3.2 seconds 1348 Separation begins at 3.87 seconds

Previous studies have indicated that voltage conditions in the vicinity of Kingsland are sensitive to the status of Plant llc Nanus and may, therefore, affect the timing at which the relays would initiate breaker operations.

Also, to be noted, is the fact that the 1983 case has the proposed model of the out-of-step tripping scheme at the Fort Nhite s tation of Florida Power Cox'poration, whereas the 19 80 case models the standard distance relays. This will influence the timing of separation between the Kingsland-Duval tie on the east coast and the west coast ties between FPC and Georgia.

Recently, though, heavy purchases of coal power from Georgia Power and Tallahassee by Florida Power Corporation, in order to reduce their'il consumption, hive tended to stress evisting 1979 connections between Georgia and northwest Florid . It is expected that the new tie will help reduce the instances where separation did occur for loss of the largest un't ir Florida under heavy import conditions.

Attachment B REVIEW"1 OF THE PZRFORi~lANCE OF VARIOUS ELECTRICAL CONFIGURATIONS BETWEEN ST LUCIE PLANT AND THE FPL GRID A steady-state, loadf low analysis of the pe formance o' various electrical configurations between the St. Lucie Plant and the FPL system was performed. The 1983 system configura-tion was chosen because it is the year in which the second unit at St. Lucie is scheduled to go into service.

The purpose of the evaluation was to compare the performance of the planned configuration to four (4) other possible confi-gurations under identical outage conditions. The outages simulated are: (1) Single outage of one circuit between St. Lucie and lligway Substation; (2) Double outage of the circuit between Pratt s Whitney and Ranch simultaneously;;'th the. outage of one circuit between St. Lucie and Midway. The five confi-gurations are depicted in Figures 1 to 5.

The following is a summary of line loadings for the five configurations under the single- and double-outage scenarios.

At. present, the total lenqth of transmission 1-'ne exposure between St. Lucie and the system is approximately 35.0 miles.

Confiquration No. 2 vill increase the total line exposure to 88 miles. Configuration No. 3 vill increase the total to about 61 miles including a 26 mile, 500 kV, portion between .~!idway and

."~!artin Plant. Configuration No. 4 vill increase the line exposure to approximately 118 miles while Confiauration No. 5 will increase the total to approximately 86 mi3 es. Assuming a constant outaa rate per 100 miles per year for 240 kV lines, it is evident that the proaosed confiquration vill be more reliable. In fact, data collected so far show that the three 'midway-St. Lucie lines have a better outage record than the averaqe 240 kv line.
