HNP Degraded Grid Voltage LAR Overview Definitions DVR - Degraded Voltage Relay       - senses voltage on 4 kV Emergency Bus
                                   - provides contacts for automatic action LAR - License Amendment Request LOCA - Loss of Coolant Accident - requires group starting of Class 1E equipment MEV - Minimum Expected Voltage on 4 kV bus concurrent with a) steady-state LOCA loading, and b) offsite supply at minimum normal voltage, 101.3% of 230 kV MRV - Minimum Required Voltage on 4 kV bus; is the greater of a) Min voltage for non-accident operation of Class 1E loads, b) Min pre-start voltage for LOCA group motor starting c) Min start/run voltage for individual motors under max accident loading SAT - Startup Auxiliary Transformer - supplies 4 kV buses from 230kV grid

HNP Degraded Grid Voltage LAR Overview Purpose of LAR and Submittal Date
* Eliminate use of manual actions for degraded voltage protection
* LAR Submission: Targeting February 28, 2017
* The LAR will contain the following:
Detailed Description 3.0 Technical Evaluation 4.0 Regulatory Evaluation 4.1    Significant Hazards Consideration 4.2    Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria 4.3    Precedent 4.4    Conclusion 5.0 Environmental Consideration 6.0 References

HNP Degraded Grid Voltage LAR Overview Physical Change Highlights
* Replace existing SATs and add a 3rd SAT per unit
* Expand 4 kV cable bus system and realign loads among the 3 SATs
* Replace 4 kV breakers and upgrade bus bar supports
* Replace induction disc DVRs with new solid-state DVRs (3 per bus)

HNP Degraded Grid Voltage LAR Overview Technical Specification Change Highlights
* TS 3.8.1 - Change required OPERABLE offsite circuits from 2 to 3
* TS 3.3.8.1 - Increase DVR actuation voltage, specified for each bus
* TS 3.3.8.1 - Decrease DVR actuation delay time
* TS 3.3.8.1 - Return alarm relay function to non-Tech Spec status

Methodology for Relay Setpoints (Voltage and Time Delay)
* Degraded Voltage Relays (DVRs) shall be set such that offsite power will be automatically disconnected and transferred to onsite power during an extended degraded grid condition (any voltage dip having a longer duration than expected for normal or accident operations).
* The DVRs on each Class 1E 4KV bus will be set so that, including tolerances, voltage dropout value will be above the MRV value.
* The DVR voltage reset value, including tolerances, will be set below the MEV.
