AF2-415 System Impact Study Report

v0.12 released 2024-05-13 15:24

Bergen 138 kV

150.0 MW Capacity / 150.0 MW Energy

Introduction

This project is eligible for the Expedited Study process per PJM Tariff Part VII, Subpart B, section 304 and will follow the Expedited Study Process rules outlined in PJM Manual 14H, Attachment I.3.4.

Projects in the Expedited Process will receive a retooled System Impact Study report with the Transition Cycle #1 projects (AE1-AG1) removed from the base case model used for their study. This System Impact Study (SIS) report has been prepared for the AF2-415 project using the updated case model. PJM performed reliability analysis for the project based on the serial study approach using the legacy Generator Deliverability Study method outlined in Manual 14B, Attachment C.3 (Revision 51 of M14B). Summer peak and light load load flow analysis was performed. Short circuit and dynamic stability impacts were also analyzed.

The interconnected Transmission Owner (TO) for this project is Public Service Electric and Gas Company. The TO has provided their updated TO analysis results on the lower voltage system based on their own criteria.

This System Impact Study report summarizes both the PJM and TO analysis results for your project.

Note: This updated SIS report does not include any Physical Interconnection Facilities scope or cost estimates from the TO. As this project is in the Expedited Process, a Facilities Study will be conducted by the TO (and any affected Transmission Owner(s)) for updated Physical Interconnection Facilities and System Reinforcement (Network Upgrade) costs. The Facilities Study will be issued to the Project Developers along with the Generator Interconnection Agreement (GIA) as part of the Expedited Process.

General

The developer has proposed a Storage generating facility located in the Public Service Electric and Gas Company zone — Hudson County, New Jersey. The installed facilities will have a total capability of 150.0 MW with 150.0 MW of this output being recognized by PJM as Capacity.

Summer Potential Congestion due to Local Energy Deliverability

PJM also studied the delivery of the energy portion of this interconnection request. Any problems identified below are likely to result in operational restrictions to the project under study. The developer can proceed with network upgrades to eliminate the operational restriction at their discretion by submitting an Upgrade Request.

Note: Only the most severely overloaded conditions are listed below. There is no guarantee of full delivery of energy for this project by fixing only the conditions listed in this section.

Light Load Analysis

The Project was evaluated as a 150.0 MW (Capacity 150.0 MW) injection in the PSEG area. Project was evaluated for compliance with applicable reliability planning criteria (PJM, NERC, NERC Regional Reliability Councils, and Transmission Owners). Potential light load period network impacts were as follows:

(No impacts were found for this analysis)

Light Load Potential Congestion due to Local Energy Deliverability

(No impacts were found for this analysis)

Short Circuit Analysis

PJM Short Circuit Analysis did not identify any new overduty breakers or >3% contribution to previously identified overduty breakers.

Stability Analysis

Generator Interconnection Request AF2-415 is for a 150 MW Maximum Facility Output (MFO) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) generating facility. AF2-415 consists of 77 x 1.9675 MW SMA SCU-2200-US inverters with a Point of Interconnection (POI) directly connecting at Bergen 138 kV Substation in the Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) transmission system, Hudson County, New Jersey.

 

The power flow scenario for the analysis was based on the Regional Transmission Expansion Plan (RTEP) 2023 Summer Peak case, modified to include applicable queue projects. AF2-415 and generations within the vicinity of AF2-415 has been dispatched online at maximum facility output.

 

AF2-415 was tested for compliance with North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), PJM, Transmission Owner (TO) and other applicable criteria. For this study, 118 contingencies were simulated, each with a minimum of 20 second simulation time period. Studied faults included:

 

  1. Steady-state operation (20 second simulation)
  2. Three-phase faults with normal clearing time
  3. Single-phase faults with a stuck breaker
  4. Single-phase faults with delayed clearing at remote end

 

The 118 contingencies tested on the RTEP 2023 Summer Peak case met the recovery criteria:

 

  1. The AF2-415 generator was able to ride through the faults except for faults where protective actions trip one or more generator(s).
  2. All generators maintained synchronism and any post-contingency oscillations are positively damped with a damping margin of at least 3%.
  3. All bus voltages recovered to 0.7 p.u. within 2.5 seconds and the final voltages were within the range of 0.95 p.u. to 1.05 p.u. excluding 500 kV buses. The final voltage for 500 kV buses was within 0.97 p.u. to 1.10 p.u.
  4. No transmission element tripped, other than those either directly connected or designated to trip as a consequence of the fault.

 

The AF2-415 queue project met the 0.95 lagging and 0.95 leading power factor requirements measured at the high side of main transformer.

 

The reactive power for AF2-415 was observed to not settle for some contingencies (e.g. P1.05, P1.06, P1.28, etc.) during the 20 second simulation. The settling appears to be small and does not affect stability. It is recommended that the Interconnection Customer (IC) tune the model parameters to allow the reactive power for AF2-415 to reach steady-state within 20 seconds.

 

The AF2-415 queue project met the 0.95 lagging and 0.95 leading power factor requirements measured at the high side of main transformer.

Reactive Power Analysis

This project meets the power factor requirements.

Steady-State Voltage Analysis

Steady State Voltage Analysis showed no impacts to project AF2-415.

The Network Upgrades listed below are required to alleviate a reliability criteria violation identified in the Network Impact analysis that PJM has performed for this System Impact Study. No physical Interconnection Facilities costs are included in this cost table.

Note 1: PJM Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) Part VI, section 217.3A outlines cost allocation rules for the Expedited Process projects. These rules are further clarified in PJM Manual 14A, Attachment B.

Note 2: To Project Developers with System Reinforcements listed: If your present cost allocation to a System Reinforcement indicates $0, then please be aware that if a prior project in the Expedited Process withdraws from the cycle, the cost responsibilities can change and a cost allocation may be assigned to your project. In addition, although the cost allocation to a System Reinforcement is presently $0, your project may need this system reinforcement completed to be deliverable to the PJM system. If your project desires to possibly come into service prior to completion of the system reinforcement, you would need to request an interim deliverability study to determine if all or a portion of your project would be deliverable.

Contingent

Note: Although AF2-415 may not presently have cost responsibility for this upgrade, AF2-415 may need this upgrade in-service to be deliverable to the PJM system. If AF2-415 desires to come into service prior to completion of the upgrade, the Project Developer will need to request PJM to perform an interim study to determine if they would be deliverable for all or a portion of their output for each delivery year until the upgrade is complete.

Description: Bergen subproject: Upgrade the Bergen 138 kV ring bus by installing a 80 kA breaker along with the foundation, piles, and relays to the existing ring bus, install breaker isolation switches on existing foundations and modify and extend bus work. NJ OSW SAA baseline upgrade
