230kV Line 821 (Jacinto-Firetower-Porter)Certifi
cate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN)
2004
  • Additional load growth (industrial, commercial,
    residential) in the eastern part of Montgomery
    County located in Entergy's Western Region has
    exacerbated the single contingency overload of
    several 138 kV transmission lines. These 138 kV
    transmission lines are some of the key east-west
    tie lines within the EGSI-TX service territory.
  • Overloading on 138 kV Line 571 (Jacinto-Tamina)
    have the potential to occur under the single
    contingency loss of 138 kV Line 86 (Dayton
    Bulk-New Caney) In addition, overloading may
    occur on 138 kV Line 50 (Dayton-New Long John)
    and 138 kV Line 150 (New Long John-Cleveland)
    upon the single contingency loss of Line 568
    (China-Jacinto) 230 kV in 2004.

(contd)
2004
  • A proposed 2005 project to build a 230 kV
    transmission line from China to Porter/Tamina 230
    kV substations along with the construction of a
    new 230/138 kV substation at Porter/Tamina will
    relieve these single contingency line overloads.
    However, this project does not meet the need of
    the local distribution customers in the immediate
    Firetower area (Eastern Montgomery County).
  • To serve the immediate needs in the Firetower
    area, a customer-owned radial transmission line
    is proposed as a temporary solution for 2004.
    The long term needs of the area will be met by
    the proposed Line 821 (Jacinto-Porter) 230 kV.
  • Estimated Cost 400k

2004-05 EGSI-TX Transmission Western Region
Improvement Plan Phase II

Phase II of the Western Region Improvement Plan
addresses the projected load growth in 2005. In
2003, several planning studies have indicated the
Western Region has the potential to encounter
dynamic voltage stability problems and thermal
overloading under the double contingencies listed
below. Load at risk in 2005 is 158 MW under
any of the following double contingencies Loss
of Lewis Creek Unit 345 kV Line 119
(Crockett-Grimes) Loss of Lewis Creek Unit 230
kV Line 568 (China-Jacinto) Loss of both Lewis
Creek Units

EGSI-TX Capacitor BankReliability Improvement
Plan
2003
  • Due to the limited supply of reactive power from
    generation sources in the EGSI-TX service
    territory, capacitor banks provide critical
    additional reactive power support.
  • In recent years, several different factors have
    contributed to violent failures of EGSI-TX
    capacitor banks
  • Size of pre-insertion devices
  • Relaying on capacitor banks
  • To prevent such failures, some capacitor banks
    will be targeted for reliability improvements in
    2003 and beyond that may include
  • Installation of new pre-insertion devices
  • Installation of new switches equipped with
    pre-insertion devices
  • Installation of new relaying equipment
  • Relocation of some capacitor banks to
    electrically distance the banks
  • Replace obsolescent equipment associated with
    capacitor banks

EGSI-TX Capacitor BankReliability Improvement
Plan(contd)
  • As an interim solution, Entergys transmission
    planning, operations, and maintenance departments
    are in the process of evaluating operating
    procedures and work practices to develop a set of
    operational guidelines to reduce the frequency of
    capacitor bank switching until long-term
    solutions can be implemented.
  • Safety Concern
  • Estimated Cost To be determined per each
    capacitor bank repair

Neches Station Reliability Improvement Plan
2004
  • Neches substation was constructed in conjunction
    with Neches Power Plant in 1926-27. Most of the
    stations existing equipment operating today
    pre-dates the 1960's. There are 12 breakers over
    47 years old still in service. Many of the
    switches , potential transformers, all of the
    insulators and other related equipment are also
    all over 40 years old. There is also
    environmental concern over old PTs and bushings
    that have never been tested for PCB content.
  • At this time, Neches substation serves primarily
    industrial and residential load. The control
    house for Neches is inside the Neches station
    generation station. Demolition of the retired
    generating facility has already begun.
  • In 2001, a new control house was proposed to be
    built at a an estimated cost of 3.25 million. It
    was later determined that the option to build a
    new control house was not a permanent,
    cost-effective solution.

Neches Station Reliability Improvement Plan
(contd)
2004
  • Recommended solution Reconfigure Neches
    substation
  • Phase I Move load off of the 69 kV system at the
    existing Neches station. IN PROGRESS
  • Phase II Acquire CCN for new 138 kV transmission
    line Carroll St-Viway
  • Phase IIIMove existing Entergy load off of the
    34.5 kV system at the existing Neches station.
  • Phase IV Construct new 138 kV Neches bus on
    adjacent property and relocate 138 kV
    transmission lines.
  • Tie 138kV Line 457 (Neches-Carroll St) with 138kV
    Line 172 (Sabine-Neches)
  • Construct 2 miles of 138 kV transmission line to
    complete Carroll St-Viway 138 kV
  • Phase V Construct new 69 kV bus and relocate 69
    kV transmission lines.
  • Phase VI Relocate Vidor 69 kV load to the 230 kV
    system
  • Estimated Cost 6.5M

2004
  • The Beaumont 69 kV subsystems are separated by a
    normally open circuit breaker at Crockett 69 kV
    substation. The western portion of this subsystem
    is served by Amelia 230/69 kV substation and
    Helbig 230/69 kV substation. Both substations
    have a bus-tie breaker configuration.
  • Contingency Loss of the Helbig 69 kV bus or
    loss of the Amelia 69 kV bus due to a bus-tie
    breaker failure has the potential to cause
    cascading outages on the 69 kV subsystem that
    serves the Beaumont commercial and residential
    area.
  • Interim Solution In 2001, 69kV Line 466
    (Goodyear-West End) was upgraded and the normally
    open breaker at Crockett 69 kV substation was
    closed. However, under the new operating
    configuration, the loss of Helbig 69 kV source
    may cause Line 98/190 (Nitro-S. Beaumont 69kV) to
    overload.

  • Recommended Solution Reconfigure Helbig 230/69
    kV substation with additional bus-tie breaker.
    Reconfigure Amelia 230/69 kV substation with
    additional bus-tie breaker. Close the
    normally-open breaker at Crockett 69 kV
    substation.
  • Estimated Cost 4.8M
