INTRODUCTION

Station service transformers are required to provide power to all substation auxiliary alternating current (AC) loads. Calculating the power rating of an AC service transformer requires load power consumption data, but the size is not determined strictly by adding all available loads consequently yielding overly conservative results. To properly size the transformer, some electric loads are multiplied by a diversity factor, which scales the load to a value dependent on usage probability. For example, the chances that all receptacles will be used at any one instant at rated power will likely not happen; therefore, the receptacle loads would be multiplied by a very small diversity factor. Another factor to take into account is the climate. In winter, there will primarily be heating loads, and conversely, the summer would primarily be HVAC or transformer fan loads. The objective of this study is to calculate the required station service transformer size to supply the UMKC substation under an assumed worst case scenario.

SYSTEM DESIGN

The following table displays the apparent power rating of auxiliary equipment in the substation. In the last three columns, the total, winter, and summer VA show the predicted loads, and the each column is individually summed. The total VA sum portrays a loading scenario for the substation where every load is used simultaneously at rated power; this scenario is assumed to be infeasible considering the diversity factors for both the winter and summer scenarios are neglected. The winter and summer VA totals account for ambient temperatures by reducing temperature dependent loads from the total in order to more accurately mimic power consumption seen in a given season, and additionally, various diversity factors have been integrated independent of temperature accounting for the probabilistic nature of some loads including receptacles.

Two 250W, 250VAC rated cabinet heaters and two 1500W, 240VAC rated tank heaters(assumed). [2] Transformer max load assumed to be 10.5kW based on TR drawings. The transformers have a self cooled rating for 45MVA so the transoformer fans will not be turned on unless two of the four paralleled transformers are out of service.

AC LOADS DURING CONSTRUCTION

The energized substation AC loads will be served from permanent station power transformers connected to the 138kV bus in the substation. That source will not be available until engerization of the 138kV bus, however some of the substation loads will require AC service prior to energizeing the bus. The following table displays the apparent power rating of auxiliary equipment in the substation that are presumed to be utilized prior to energization of the substation. The loading analysis for this scenario utilizes similar diversity factors and seasonal loading as the energized substation loads.

CONCLUSION

In Table 2-1, the winter scenario presents the worst case for the energized substation AC load of 73.63kVA. The standard size distribution transformer that meets this loading is rated at 75kVA, which should adequately serve for station service. While the calculated worst case loading of the substation is 98.17% of the station power transformer nameplate rating this does not necessarily mean that any additional AC loading will detrimentally overload the the station power transformer. IEEE C57.12.232009 states the kVA rating is developed by measuring the oil temperature near the top of the transformer tank, and the temperature should not pass 55 C for the specified nameplate rating in order to preserve the life of the transformer. In IEEE C57.910-2011, an approximation table illustrates the relationship of dropping ambient temperatures (C) to increasing kVA (%) as a 1:1 ratio with an assumed average of 30 C as the base point. Even though IEEE state that the relationship is conservative, it is advised to add an additional 5 C margin. Also note that under the worst case scenario loading of 98.17% will take place when the ambient temperature is approximately -7 C or lower considering that is when the 138kV breaker tank heaters are set to turn on which make up 32.4% of the total winter load. When the ambient temperature is -7 C, the rating of the transformer could potentially be increased by 32% [30C (assumed ambient) (-7)C (worst case scenario temperature) 5C (IEEE recommended margin)] without compromising the transformer life expectancy. This would provide additional capacity for future loading without comprising the life of the transformers. It should also be noted that industry practice and BMcD operational practices allow for temporary overloading of transformers above the nameplate rating. The construction AC loading anaylsis was performed to provide BMcD with information required to properly size the temporary construction AC service. As outlined In Table 2-2, the winter scenario presents the worst case AC loading for the substation during construction. Per the anaylsis the worst case construction load for substation equipment is 73.63kVA, this load would be adequately fed by a 400A, 120/240V single phase service. This loading is for substation equipment only and does not include any additional construction loads (trailers, equipment, tools etc.). Anticipated additional constuction loads should be served from a separate source or added to the substation equipment loading to determine the total AC service size required for construction. The construction AC service sizing should take into account BMcD transformer loading operational practices and consider that the peak loading is expected during periods of cool ambient temperatures.
