EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This System Impact Study (SIS) is conducted for the 50 MW Felisa Solar
Power
Project of Negros Ph Solar Inc. (NPSI) in Brgy. Felisa Bacolod City. The
proposed
connection for this project is a direct connection to Bacolod 138 kV Substation.
The project currently has a 200 MW capacity endorsed by the Department of
Energy (DOE) over phases. The developers have since identified suitable land
sites and have made the requisite arrangements with the landowners for longterm leases. Various irradiation, flood, topography and soil studies have
already been conducted with positive results. In addition many of the local
and national approvals and permits have since been obtained including local
LGU endorsements. Technical layouts and routing plans have also been
identified and secured.
Currently there might be some anticipated
constraint
in
the
submarine
interconnection between Negros and Cebu islands due to various projects
being
planned for but many of which may not get implemented. In light of this
constraint
the capacity of the project was reduced to 50 MW for this current phase for
ease
of
implementation.
This project has been developed and structured to allow for a quick expansion
of another 60 MW in Phase II. The key milestone for this expansion would
be the alleviation of the potential congestion along the Cebu-Panay submarine
cable. This alleviation would be evident when either the submarine cable is
reinforced or when the various other projects included in the base data is formally
terminated.
In December 2014, Italy's Prysmian was awarded this US$111 million project by
the
NGCP for the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of a submarine
power
cable link to connect Negros and Panay islands in the Philippines. The CNP-1
cable
connection is the first stage of a larger development plan by NGCP, aimed
at
connecting the Cebu, Negros and Panay islands to each other and at
strengthening
the
country's power transmission network. The submarine cable link will be one of
the
main assets to play a core role in this plan as it will back up the existing 138 kV
oil
filled cable circuit, which is currently the only connection among the islands.
CNP-1 comprises of three HVAC (High Voltage Alternating Current) 230 kV
single
core cables with XLPE insulation and single wire armouring along a 22 km
submarine
route across the Guimaras Strait. As part of the complete system Prysmian will
also
supply and install underground cables for the land portions of the link and will
erect
the two Cable Terminal Stations (CTS) in Barotac Viejo on the Panay side and
in
Magalona on the Negros side. Delivery and commissioning is scheduled for the first
half of 2016. Phase II (60MW) of the solar plant will be implemented after CNP-1 is
commissioned.
In addition, in April 2015 NGCP announced plans to invest P1.6 billion to upgrade a
transmission facility in Cebu that forms part of a broader Visayan backbone project to
implement the Cebu substation 230 kilovolt (kV) upgrade project, this project
represents the second stage of the Cebu-Negros-Panay (CNP) 230 kV backbone project
further strengthening the grid in the Visayas. NGCPs CNP project is generally
intended to accommodate all additional capacity from new power plants that will be
built in the Visayas.
With the anticipated alleviation in congestion, NPSI will be implementing the 60 MW
Phase II expansion of this solar in the second half of 2016 and request that this be
recognized for planning purposes.

This study was performed in accordance with the Philippines Grid Code (PGC)
and NGCP requirements. The purposes of this study are as follows:
1. Analyze the steady-state, stability, and short circuit conditions of the grid
with
the project;
2. Determine any upgrades to the transmission system that would be
required to
mitigate any adverse impacts that the project could otherwise pose on
the
reliability and operating characteristics of the transmission system
in
accordance with the PGC, NGCP standards and generally accepted
international transmission utility practices;
3. Determine any upgrades required to mitigate any degradation to
transmission
transfer capability; and
4. Determine any upgrades required to mitigate any degradation to
system
dynamic stability.
The primary area of concern of this study is the area around NGCPs
Bacolod Substation. Generated power from the proposed power plant will be
transmitted to Visayas grid through this substation.
In addition to the standard requirements of the PGC, the ERC had issued
Resolution
No. 7 Series of 2013 imposing new requirements for intermittent power plants
such
as
this project.
This proposed power plant should comply with those
requirements,
compliance thereto should be demonstrated by field tests during testing
and
commissioning.
STEADY STATE
Steady state thermal and voltage analyses were conducted to examine the
comparative
system performance with and without the proposed project. The baseline
performance
is based on the system without the proposed project. System performance
was
reevaluated with the project and compared with the baseline system. This
approach
exposes the impact of the project on the system utilizing the criteria set by the
PGC.
Steady state analysis was evaluated using a scenario where power plants at
close
proximity to the project were dispatched to its maximum feasible levels for years
2016
and 2021. Peak load for 2016 and 2021 were respectively, 1,854.8 MW and
2,279.5
MW. Simulation at this dispatch scenario enabled the examination of the
transmission
system to reliably operate with the proposed project integrated to the system.
Based on the steady state results the projects connection to the grid poses
no
significant adverse impact on the reliability and operating characteristics of
Visayas
grid. There was no significant voltage or thermal violations of reliability
criteria
associated with the entry of the project considering its priority dispatch
incentive
under the RE Law.
STABILITY
This evaluation consisted of application of faults on the system with the project
using peak base cases. The dynamic stability of the system during and after
these faulted conditions should conform to the requirements of the PGC. In

addition, voltage, frequency and power fluctuations or oscillations should
dampen within the prescribed period. Machine angle should also exhibit
acceptable coherence.
In all tested fault conditions the project would pose no significant adverse
impact on the stability of the system.
FREQUENCY ASSESSMENT
Frequency assessment showed that the system frequency will not drop as low as
59.4 Hz with the outage of the proposed power plant. Automatic Load
Dropping is not expected during this loss-of-generation scenario.
SHORT CIRCUIT
Short-circuit analysis was conducted to determine the impact of the project on
the existing fault current levels in all substations. In this study, it was assumed
that fault duty of the circuit breakers installed in the system are as follows:
Volage Level
<69 kV
>69kV <138 kV
>230 kV
Rated Short
Circuit
Current (kA)
25
31.5
40
Simulation results indicate that the entry of the proposed project will not result
to fault levels beyond the fault duties of the existing circuit breakers.
CONCLUSION
This study revealed that the addition of NPSIs Phase I, the 50 MW Felisa Solar
Power Project has no significant impact on the reliability, stability and
operating characteristics of the Visayas power transmission system.
The proposed power plant could be safely and reliably integrated to Visayas
grid. Phase II 60 MW of NPSI project will be implemented once CNP-1 is
commissioned or when there is capacity in the grid when other projects are do
not materialize.
The results of the stability simulation indicated acceptable

response
of
the
system
parameters with the proposed facility integrated, damping mostly
within the first ten
(10) seconds after the application of fault. The summary of
dynamic stability simulations is shown in Table 20 for scenarios
with the power plant.

Frequency assessment evaluates if the loss of the proposed power
plant
will
not
cause
the frequency to drop below 59.4 Hz frequency limit set by PGC.
For
2016
and
2021
base cases, the frequency will not fall as low as 59.4 Hz. The
outage
of

1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Negros Ph Solar Inc. (NPSI) has embarked on developing this project by
committing
significant resources and time to identify and secure key project specifics to
ensure
project viability prior to applying for the various government permits and
approvals.
This project has been under-development for the last 6 months with the proper
site selection and technical evaluation and local stakeholders engagement and
relationship building being developed to ensure project viability. The initial
findings are very optimistic. Necessary government permits were already
secured.
This approach allows all the stakeholders, DOE, NGCP, Landowners, LGUs,
etc. to have better comfort and visibility that our Service Contract will crystalize
into a real project and not remain in development for years.
NPSI is a wholly owned Filipino corporation and was set up to fully focus on
developing the Philippine Solar market. The founder Ms. Maricel Montfort, a
highly successful native of Cadiz and currently residing in Bacolod and Manila, is
a long-standing citizen who has had extensive working experience abroad and
has returned back to the Philippines to take an active part in improving the
lives of the local Filipinos through various infrastructure projects. Ms. Montfort
is currently active with several large infrastructure and social developments
throughout the Philippines. These include medical facilities, orphanages,
water-treatment/purification projects and land & property investments. Being
a very successful business lady, she is able to fully fund the professional and
proper development of these projects.

NPSI has identified Bacolod City as a suitable site for the Solar project. Bacolod
has a stable climate with adequate sunlight throughout the year and minimal risk
of heavy typhoons or flooding. Land is plentiful and the local government
agencies are supportive of such an initiative.
NPSI has been actively developing the project for the last 6 months and
focused
on
securing the right land location and negotiating with the landowners to ensure
terms
and conditions and commercially viable for the project. NPSI has actively
engaged
the
local LGUs and have planned for CSR activities for the area once the project
moves
ahead.

Page 10
Land Status:
a) Identified and secured approximately 150 hectares with the landowners.
Many
of the landowners are prominent local business people with good local
standing.
Land Options have been signed for most of them and the rest will be
complete
shortly and landowners are backing this project fully. NPSI has very
good
relationships with all the landowners. In total NPSI aims to
secure
approximately 280 hectares to build up to 200 MW.
b) NPSI had engaged professionals to conduct
Irradiation Studies
Flood studies
Topographical surveys
Soil studies
Connection routing and
Plant layout design
The site has ideal road access and is relatively flat with little flood risk.
The lands will not be an inconvenience any inhabitants. The
landlords have committed to ensure the site will be problem free and we
will engage their local individuals where possible.
c) The lands identified are outside the CARP jurisdiction and we have
obtained
proper legal advice as well as advice from the local LGUs on the
proper
procedure to ensure that the site is Solar ready. This has already been
factored
in our evaluation.
d) The land titles have also been checked for any risk of foreclosure
or
encumbrances being attached.
e) NPSI has also ensured that there are no sensitive or endangered trees on
the
site and will not need any special approval or process.
This project proposes to connect to the grid through a direct connection to
Bacolod 138 kV Substation. Direct connection had been preferred by
NGCP to avoid complicating the grid backbone protection system.

Page 11
The proposed connection would involve construction of approximately 3.5

km 138 kV transmission line, a take-off substation at the power plant site
and modifications at a bay in Bacolod Substation to accommodate
entry of the proposed power plant. Conductors for this line should be
795 MCM ACSR equipped with appropriate communication facility to
convey revenue meter reading to NGCPs Bacolod Substation.
2. STUDY ASSUMPTIONS
A. DEMAND FORECAST
Based on the 2013 Transmission Development Plan (TDP), there would
relatively be a significant increase in demand in Visayas Grid. Table
1 shows the demand projections for the entire grid. Of greater interest
for this proposed project is the demand in Negros Island where the
proposed facility will be injecting its power to the grid. Bacolod
Substation will be the main corridor of this project.
Table 1. Demand Projections for Visayas
Source: 2013 Transmission Development Plan
B. GENERATION EXPANSIONS
Based on the Department of Energys list of proposed generators,
the
2013
Transmission Development Plan identified the grid reinforcements needed
to cater the incoming generators. The status of generator development
are classified by the Department of Energy as Committed,
Indicative and Prospective. The generators considered in the study

is shown in Figure 1, corresponding table is shown in Table 2.

C. TRANSMISSION EXPANSIONS
Major developments in Negros island included in the 2013 TDP are as follows:
1. Negros-Panay Interconnection Uprating
2. Negros V Transmission Line Project
3. Visayas Substation Expansion I (Kabangkalan 1 x 50 MVA)
4. Visayas Substation Reliability I (Amlan 1 x 50 MVA, Bacolod 1 x 100
MVA
and Cadiz 1 x 50 MVA)
These proposed developments shown in Figure 2 as well as generation expansions
were included in the base cases and were considered in the assessments.

D. GRID CODE REQUIREMENTS

The proposed projects performance was evaluated based on the criteria set
by
the
Philippine Grid Code, utilizing grid dispatch scenario where power plants near
the
project were set at maximum dispatch to reflect the worst impact of the project
to
the
grid. Steady state voltage and thermal analyses examined system performance
without
the proposed project in order to establish a baseline data. System performance
was
re-evaluated with the project and compared with the previous baseline
performance
to
demonstrate the impact of the project on area transmission reliability.
The voltage limits adopted in this study were in compliance with the PGC
which
requires that during normal and single outage contingency conditions, the
voltage
should be within the range of 0.95 to 1.05 per unit. For the thermal limits,
normal
thermal ratings shall not be violated under all-lines-in and single outage
contingency
conditions. The steady state analysis was performed with both pre-contingency
and
post-contingency solution parameters that allow adjustment of load tapchanging
transformers (LTCs), static var devices (SVDs) including switched capacitors
and
phase angle regulators (PARs).
For short circuit studies, resulting three phase fault should not exceed the levels
shown in Table 3. These ratings are the standard fault duty rating of circuit
breakers connected to the grid.

Rating
Rated Short Circuit
Current
Voltage Level
<69 kV
(kA)

>69kV <138 kV
31.5
>230 kV

Stability analysis evaluated the impact of the project on transmission

system
performance during the occurrence of disturbances or faults. The application of
faults
established transmission system reliability performance under stressed
transfer
conditions observing known stability limits. The stability criteria applied
for
evaluation in the system is the PGC provision under Section 5.3.4.1 which
requires:

Page 15
1. The Grid remains stable after any Single Outage Contingency for all
forecasted
Load conditions; and
2. The Grid remains controllable after a Multiple Outage Contingency. In
the
case of Grid separation, no total blackout should occur in any Island Grid.
In this study however, only stability under single outage contingency conditions
were evaluated.
Applied faults were cleared (normal clearing) in compliance with the
requirements of the PGC Section 4.5.2.3 as follows:
1. 85 ms for 500 kV;
2. 100 ms for 230 kV and 138 kV; and
3. 120 ms for voltages less than 138 kV
Delayed clearing were simulated in accordance with the requirements of the
PGC which states:
The circuit breaker fail protection shall be designed to initiate
the
tripping
of
all the necessary electrically-adjacent circuit breakers and to
interrupt
the
fault
current within the next 50 milliseconds, in the event that the
primary
protection
system fails to interrupt the fault current within the prescribed
Fault
Clearance
Time
In addition to the standard PGC requirements, the Energy Regulatory
Commission
(ERC) had issued Resolution No. 7 series of 2013 entitled Resolution Adopting
and
Approving Addendum to Amendment No. 1 of the Philippine Grid Code,
Establishing
the Connection and Operational Requirements for Variable Renewable Energy
(VRE)
Generating Facilities.
Under Article II Section 2 of this addendum,
additional
requirements for large photovoltaic generation systems were prescribed as
follows:
1.) Section 2.1 - Generating Unit Power Output
2.) Section 2.2 - Frequency Withstand Capability

3.) Section 2.3 - Reactive Power Capability
4.) Section 2.4 - Performance During Network Disturbances
5.) Section 2.5 - Voltage Control System
6.) Section 2.6 - Active Power Control System; and
7.) Section 2.7 - Power Quality

The grid model or base cases used in this study for years 2016 and 2021 were
provided by NGCP. Both base cases were derived from the Transmission
Development Plan and considered transmission line and generator expansion
plans for the period covered. The scenario represented was peak loading
condition, maximizing dispatch of power plants in the vicinity of the project.
Off-peak scenarios were not considered in the assessment since the proposed
power plant is not expected to operate during off-peak.
To reflect the priority dispatch scenario in the model, dispatch of
conventional synchronous machines in Negros and Panay areas were
slightly reduced. In actual application, these conventional plants dispatch
will vary due to the intermittence of the proposed power plant. Power plants
with adjusted dispatch are as follows:
1.) Palinpinon Geothermal Power Plant (Negros)
2.) Nasulo Geothermal Power Plant (Negros)
3.) PGPP (Negros)
4.) Palm Thermal (Panay)
5.) PEDC Power Plant (Panay)
Equivalent model of the grid in the vicinity of the project is shown in Figure 6.

The 50 MW generator was modeled as lumped unit using PVGU1 in the
dynamic stability study while the electrical controls was modelled as

PVEU1. Parameters for the models are shown in Table 8 and Table 9
respectively. Other system dynamics data were provided by NGCP.

4. LOAD FLOW ASSESSMENT

The results of the simulation for thermal adequacy are presented in Sections 4.A.
and
4.B. while that for the voltages are shown in Sections 4.C. and 4.D.
Under normal loading conditions, considering the priority dispatch of
intermittent
RE
Generators, thermal loading of elements in the grid will remain within PGC
required
limits.
The number of grid loading violations during single-outage
contingency
conditions essentially remained the same for major transmission line elements.
Voltages at other monitored substations during normal and contingency
conditions remained within the prescribed limits of the Philippine Grid Code.

5. FAULT LEVEL ANALYSIS

The fault current assessment determined the fault level at various
buses/substations in the grid in the vicinity of the proposed power plant. The
entry of the proposed project would not result to fault current exceeding the
allowable levels. The resulting short circuit currents are shown in Table 18.
Table 19 shows the short circuit MVA at the power plant high voltage
substation.

6. STABILITY ASSESSMENT
Stability analysis assessed the impact of the project to the transient
stability
performance of the grid. The analysis was based on the assumptions and
methodology
described in the previous sections. The stability plots are included in the
Appendices.
The 3-phase faults were applied on transmission line segments followed
by tripping/outage of the segments at normal and delayed clearing times.
The segments where faults were applied are as follows:
1. Fault at Solar Hi-Bacolod 138 kV Line with Tripping
2. Fault at Bacolod-EBMAG1 138 kV Line with Tripping
3. Fault at Bacolod-EBMAG2 138 kV Line with Tripping
4. Fault at Bacolod-Kabankalan 138 kV Line with Tripping
5. Fault at Bacolod 138/69 kV Transformer (T2) with Tripping
69 kV Line with Tripping
7. Fault at Bacolod 138/69 kV Transformer (T1) with Tripping

8. Fault at Kabankalan-Mabinay HI 138 kV Line with Tripping
9. Fault at Amlan HI-Mabinay HI 138 kV Line with Tripping
Bus faults applied to the system are as follows:

2. Bus Fault at BACOLOD 138 kV Bus (237500)
These three phase faults were later isolated at normal and delayed clearing times.
As a stability criteria, for the transient stability assessment, parameters namely,
machine angle, bus voltages, bus frequency and generator power swing during
and after the system disturbance should have acceptable damping and
coherence.
Page 30
The results of the stability simulation indicated acceptable

response
of
the
system
parameters with the proposed facility integrated, damping mostly
within the first ten
(10) seconds after the application of fault. The summary of
dynamic stability simulations is shown in Table 20 for scenarios
with the power plant.

7. FREQUENCY ASSESSMENT
Frequency assessment evaluates if the loss of the proposed power
plant
will
not
cause
the frequency to drop below 59.4 Hz frequency limit set by PGC.
For
2016
and
2021
base cases, the frequency will not fall as low as 59.4 Hz. The
outage
of
the
proposed
power plant will not result to Automatic Load Dropping (ALD). Figure
7 and Figure
8 shows the results of frequency assessments for 2016 and 2021 base cases
respectively.

8. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

This study was conducted to assess the impact of the proposed 50 MW Felisa
Solar
Power Project on the reliability, stability and operating characteristics of the
Visayas
Grid. Steady state, stability and short-circuit conditions were analyzed.
Proposed
Steady state assessment with the project in-service showed no significant
voltage or thermal violations of reliability criteria. Considering the priority
dispatch of intermittent RE Generators, thermal loading of elements in the grid
will remain within PGC required limits.
Short circuit analyses concluded that the project did not alter adversely the
short circuit duties of the baseline system.
Transient stability assessment simulated a set of faults. None of the faults
tested showed unstable response of the system with the project integrated.
Frequency assessment showed that the system frequency will not drop as low as
59.4 Hz with the outage of the proposed power plant. Automatic Load
Dropping is not expected during this loss-of-generation scenario.
As a general conclusion, this System Impact Study revealed that the addition of
NPSIs
first project phase, the 50 MW Felisa Solar Power Project has no significant
system
impact to the stability, reliability, and operating characteristics of the Visayas

Grid.
The proposed project could be safely and reliably integrated to Visayas.
Subsequent
phases of the project will be implemented upon NGCPs reinforcement of
the
submarine interconnection.
