FOREWORD
EirGrid is pleased to present this Transmission Forecast
Statement, which has been prepared in accordance with the
provisions of Section 38 of the Electricity Regulation Act,
1999. It supercedes Transmission Forecast Statement 2010-

2 0 1 6 V e r s i on 2 . 0 , p u b l i s h e d i n M a r c h 2 0 1 0 .
In Transmission Forecast Statement 2011-2017 we present information that should
help customers who are considering connection of a generator or a new large load to
the grid. We quantify the extent of opportunities available for demand connections at
a range of locations throughout the grid, summarise the generation opportunities
identified through the Gate 3 process and discuss the opportunities for generator
connections based on EirGrids grid development strategy, GRID25, and the Gate 3
group processing scheme for generators.
Over the period covered by this statement there will be significant opportunities for
new demand connections in most parts of the country. In response to stakeholder
feedback, for this statement we have identified a number of strategic 220 kV sites
that have the capability to accommodate major industrial load centres.
There are limited opportunities for generator connections in the short term. In the
latter years of the statement and beyond, the developments associate with GRID25 will
create significant opportunities for generator connections. The opportunities created
by GRID25 will facilitate the connection of all Gate 3 generation and some post Gate 3
generation. Those who are considering connecting to the grid are advised to contact
EirGrid for further information.
We include a comprehensive review of existing and planned transmission network
data, demand data and generation data, as well as a short circuit analysis based on
the most recent data projections. We provide an updated set of network data, maps
and diagrams which provide details of the transmission network and how it is
proposed to be developed over the 2011-2017 period.
Finally, it is our aim that the information contained in this document is informative,
pertinent and accessible. We welcome and value your feedback on the presentation,
style and content of this Transmission Forecast Statement at all times.

SUMMARY

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

SUMMARY
Introduction
The Transmission Forecast Statement (TFS) describes the status of the transmission grid
over the seven-year period from 2011 to 2017. It provides information to customers
examining the potential of the grid from the electricity generator or large consumer
perspectives. The technical information is provided to help customers identify and evaluate
the opportunities available for connecting to or making use of the transmission system and
to allow them, if desired, to undertake their own power flow analyses. The TFS provides
information about potential network constraints which should be informative for customers
intending to participate in the electricity market.
In this statement the Transmission System Operator (TSO) updates the information
published in earlier Transmission Forecast Statements in light of developments that have
either taken place or are currently scheduled to be completed over the coming years.

Overview of Information Provided


The format of Transmission Forecast Statement 2011-2017 is as follows:
TFS 2011-2017 undertakes a comprehensive review of existing and planned transmission
network data and the existing and projected demand and generation data. The information
is presented in the form of maps, network diagrams, data tables and network models which
are in electronic format.
TFS 2011-2017 includes a short circuit analysis to determine the maximum and minimum
short circuit levels at each 110 kV, 220 kV and 400 kV busbar on the transmission system,
for three stages of the seven year period covered by the TFS 2011, 2014 and 2017.
TFS 2011-2017 contains the results of analysis to quantify the Incremental Transfer
Capability (ITC) likely to be available between various parts of the grid. This information is
a general guide to potential demand customers who are considering connecting to the grid.
EirGrid carried out the short circuit and ITC analysis for TFS 2011-2017 and updated the
network models and tables based on data as known on the 01st of July 2010. The data was
frozen at this point.
TFS

2011-2017

provides

indicative

information

on

the

opportunities

for

generator

connections based on EirGrids grid development strategy, GRID25, and the Gate 3 group
processing scheme for generators. A summary of the generation opportunities identified as
part of the Gate 3 process is also included.
The Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) has approved this format in accordance with
the requirements of the Electricity Regulation Act 1999.

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

The National Grid


The national grid plays a vital role in the supply of electricity. In simple terms, it transports
power from generators to demand centres using a system comprising 400 kV, 220 kV and
110 kV networks. The 400 kV and 220 kV networks form the backbone of the grid. They have
higher power carrying capacity and lower losses than the 110 kV network. The 400 kV lines
cross the country providing a high capacity path for power flows between Dublin and
Galway and the Moneypoint generation station in Co. Clare. The 220 kV network comprises a
number of single circuit loops around the country. The 110 kV network is the most extensive
part of the grid, reaching into every county in the Republic of Ireland.
The grid is planned and developed to ensure it meets projected transmission needs while
maintaining its performance within defined reliability standards. The analysis of current
performance indicates that the network is within standards in most areas at this time. To
continue to meet standards, in the context of forecast demand and new generation
connections, there is a requirement for ongoing development to reinforce the grid. The
transmission development projects, selected and planned by the TSO as at the time of the
TFS 2011-2017 data freeze date (July 2010), are listed in Section B.2 of Appendix B and are
included in the short circuit and ITC analyses carried out for TFS 2011-2017. Projects
selected and planned since July 2010 are listed in Section 1.4.

Single Electricity Market


In November 2007, a Single Electricity Market (SEM) was established on the island of
Ireland. The all-island wholesale electricity market allows both Northern Ireland and the
Republic of Ireland to benefit from increased competition, reduced energy costs and
improved reliability of supply.
The national grid is electrically connected to the transmission system of Northern Ireland
by means of one 275 kV double circuit connection at Louth and two 110 kV connections at
Letterkenny in Co. Donegal and Corraclassy in Co. Cavan. EirGrid and Northern Ireland
Electricity (NIE) are planning a new 400 kV cross-border circuit, which is due to be installed
by 2014. Together with other reinforcements, the new circuit will facilitate a greater degree
of flexibility in the new market. In the context of the SEM, all cross-border circuits are
essentially internal circuits in the new market.

Interconnection
In July 2006, Minister Noel Dempsey TD, then Minister for Communications, Marine and
Natural Resources, requested that the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) arrange a
competition to secure the construction of a 500 MW East-West interconnector between
Ireland and Great Britain. The Interconnector will connect a converter station near
Woodland 400kV transmission station in Co. Meath to another converter station near

S-2

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

Deeside 400kV transmission station in North Wales via two High Voltage Direct Current
cables. The interconnector will be capable of importing and exporting 500MW of electricity.
The project is now fully permitted. Design, manufacturing, and construction are now
underway in Britain and Ireland. Marine installation works are scheduled to take place in
2011 and 2012. The interconnector is expected to be operational in the latter part of 2012.

Demand Forecasts
The projections of demand for electricity are largely based on forecasts of economic growth
produced by the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI). The projections are
c o m p a t i b l e w i t h p r o v i s i o n a l d e m a n d f i g u r e s i n t e n d e d f o r i n c l u s i o n i n t h e Al l - i s l a n d

G e n e r a t i o n C a p a c i t y S t a t e m e n t 2 0 1 1 -2 0 2 0 (G C S ) .
The grid must be capable of transporting power flows for varying levels of demand.
However, the flow at peak demand is frequently, although not exclusively, the most
onerous. The projections of demand flows at peak are discussed in Chapter 3. Table S-1
shows the forecasts of peak transmission demand for the years 2011 to 2017. These are
equivalent to projections of peak exported generation requirements. Appendix C presents
forecasts of demand at each station connected to the grid. Forecasts of transmission flows
at peak take account of non-wind embedded generation. Because of its size and variability,
transmission and distribution-connected wind generation is modelled explicitly in the
analyses carried out for this TFS.
In overall terms, the TSO expects that the peak demand will increase by approximately 2.0%

Generation Connections
At the time of the data freeze (July 2010), some 8,027 MW (net) of generation capacity was
installed, of which 7,180 MW is connected to the national grid and 847 MW is connected
directly to the distribution system.
New generators with signed connection agreements are included in the short circuit
analysis for this statement. Table S-2 summarises the planned connections as at the
beginning of July 2010, when data was frozen for the purposes of TFS model updates.

Taking account of these committed connections, expected unit deratings and unit closures,
the installed capacity would be 10,278 MW by the end of 2017, of which 8,672 MW will be
transmission-connected.
ESB Power Generation confirmed the closure of Poolbeg Units 1, 2 and 3. The steam turbine
at Marina ceased operation in March 2010.
Endesa has purchased Great Island and Tarbert generation stations as well as Rhode and
Tawnaghmore peaking plants from ESB.
In the period 2010-2011 3,989 MW of wind generation and 1,314 MW of conventional
generation will have received offers under Gate 3.

Transmission System Capability Analyses


The national grid is planned to accommodate anticipated power flows based on existing and
planned

generation

and

demand

c o n n e c t i on s ,

and

on

interconnection

with

other

transmission systems. This TFS examines the capability of the grid to accommodate
additional flows resulting from a new demand connection based on data describing the
existing and planned transmission system frozen at the beginning of July 2010. Capability
is assessed at three stages of the seven-year period of the TFS - 2011, 2014 and 2017. For
the purposes of the analyses, generation was dispatched on an all-island basis in the cases
upon which studies were carried out. This was done in order to reflect the manner in which
generation is dispatched in the SEM.

S-4

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

The locations analysed for new demand have been carefully reviewed this year based on
feedback from industry sources. The chosen stations have been tailored to closely match
the needs of the users. In total, 31 stations are analysed for new demand connections.
The results are useful to those considering development of a significant demand in the
Republic of Ireland. They provide an indication of locations that are capable of accepting
new demand connections without the need for further reinforcement of the grid.

Opportunities for New Demand


The grid is planned and developed to meet forecast demands in all parts of the country. The
demand forecast for each 110 kV station is a proportion of the overall system demand
forecast based on historical demand distributions. An average annual increase of 2.0% is
expected at each station. This statement examines the capability of selected 110 kV and
220 kV stations to accept a new demand additional to these forecasts. It should be noted
that individual small demands of up to 10 MW are likely to be accommodated at most
locations. Some locations may be capable of accommodating significantly larger demands.
To put this in context, a demand of 10 MW represents the consumption of a typical
pharmaceutical plant.
As a general rule, opportunity at a particular station would tend to reduce over the course
of the seven years as normal demand growth uses the available capacity. However, in many
cases demand opportunities improve in later years as a result of planned network or
generation developments.
The results of the analysis point to opportunities at the majority of the stations tested.
Figure S-1 shows the opportunities for new demand in 2014 and 2017. The diagrams show
that there will be significant demand opportunities in most parts of the country in both
years.
Analysis of the 220 kV grid suggest that some strategic sites have the capability to
accommodate major industrial developments in excess of 200 MW.

provides

information

on

the

opportunities

for

generator

connections based on EirGrids grid development strategy, GRID25, and the Gate 3 group
processing scheme for generators. A summary of the generation opportunities identified as
part of the Gate 3 process illustrates that by 2017 the developments associated with GRID25
create capacity on the grid to accommodate more than 2,000 MW of Gate 3 generation.

Conclusion
EirGrid has plans in place to cater for the forecast needs of the grid. However, network
development planning is a continuous process designed to meet the ever changing needs
for transmission. Connection of new generation and large point demands can result in a
step change in grid requirements and in its ability to operate within standards. In
particular, large generator connections can give rise to the need for large transmission
reinforcement projects that may take a long time to complete. Developers wishing to
connect should consult the TSO early in their development process to explore options
relating to their proposal thus enabling timely decision making.
Those who are considering connecting generation or demand to the national grid should
contact the TSO at info@eirgrid.com for further information.

INTRODUCTION

The national grid is a high voltage system of networks which transports power from
generators to demand centres. The flow of power is determined by the levels of demand at
all parts of the system and by the size and location of generation supplying that demand.
Interconnection with other systems can be a source of generation or a demand for power.

OUTLINE OF THE TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT

Chapter 2 describes the existing transmission network, including connections with Northern
Ireland, and provides a brief outline of the TSOs network development plans. Detailed

which was published for Public Consultation in November 2010. These documents present a
snapshot of the development plans at a point in time. However, the planning and
development process is dynamic and may be refined in light of more up-to-date information.
As such, network development plans should be confirmed with the TSO before any business
decisions are taken based on the content of this document. Maps, schematic diagrams and
network details are included in Appendix A and Appendix B. Geographical maps of the
transmission system are provided in A3 format in Appendix K.
Chapter 3 describes the demand forecasts and Chapter 4 describes the generation
projections. Details of the demand forecasts and generation assumptions are in Appendix C
and Appendix D respectively.

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

The assumptions presented in Chapters 2 to 4 form the basis of the short circuit currents
presented in Chapter 5 and the analysis of transfer capabilities described and reported in
Chapters 6 to 8. Appendix E presents forecast short circuit currents at all grid stations.
Chapters 7 and 8 contain information on the opportunities for generator and demand
connections.
Diagrams are presented in Appendix J which show typical power flows on all grid circuits for
a number of different conditions.

1.2

TREATMENT OF THE SINGLE ELECTRICITY MARKET

In November 2007, a Single Electricity Market (SEM) was established on the island of
Ireland. The all-island wholesale electricity market allows both Northern Ireland and the
Republic of Ireland to benefit from increased competition, reduced energy costs and
improved reliability of supply.
The national grid is electrically connected to the transmission system of Northern Ireland
by means of one 275 kV double circuit connection at Louth and two 110 kV connections at
Letterkenny in Co. Donegal and Corraclassy in Co. Cavan. The TSO and Northern Ireland
Electricity (NIE) are planning a new 400 kV cross-border circuit, which is due to be installed
by 2014. Together with other reinforcements, the new circuit will facilitate a greater degree
of flexibility in the new market. In the context of the SEM, all cross-border circuits will
essentially become internal circuits in the new market.
In order to reflect the way in which the transmission systems of the Republic of Ireland and
Northern Ireland operate, the network was assessed with generation dispatched on an allisland basis in network models. As such, flows of power across cross-border circuits were
permitted in the short circuit and power flow analyses carried out for TFS 2011-2017. It is
important to note however that only the performance and capability of the transmission
system of the Republic of Ireland is considered. The performance and capability of the
transmission system of Northern Ireland is addressed in SONIs Transmission System Seven
Year Statement.

1.3

TREATMENT OF INTERCONNECTION

In July 2006, Minister Noel Dempsey TD, then Minister for Communications, Marine and
Natural Resources, requested that the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) arrange a
competition to secure the construction of a 500 MW East-West interconnector between
Ireland and Great Britain. The Interconnector will connect a converter station near
Woodland 400kV transmission station in Co. Meath and to another converter station near
Deeside 400kV transmission station in North Wales via two High Voltage Direct Current
cables. The interconnector will be capable of importing and exporting 500MW of electricity.

1-2

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

The project is now fully permitted. Design, manufacturing, and construction are now
underway in Britain and Ireland. Marine installation works are scheduled to take place in
2011 and 2012. The interconnector is expected to be operational in the latter part of 2012.

1.4

DATA MANAGEMENT

System development is continuously evolving. In order to carry out analyses and to update
the network models and appendices for the TFS 2011-2017, the TSO froze all data relating to
demand, generation and the grid at the beginning of July 2010.
Since the data freeze date, a number of changes in projections have emerged.
The following grid developments have been initiated as projects:

THE ELECTRICITY TRANSMISSION NETWORK

2.1

OVERVIEW OF THE ELECTRICITY TRANSMISSION NETWORK

The national grid plays a vital role in the supply of electricity, providing the means to
transport power from the generators to the demand centres using a system comprising
400 kV, 220 kV and 110 kV networks. The national grid is electrically connected to the
transmission system of Northern Ireland by means of one 275 kV double circuit connection
at Louth and two 110 kV connections at Letterkenny in Co. Donegal and Corraclassy in Co.
Cavan.
The 400 kV and 220 kV networks form the backbone of the grid. They have higher capacity
a n d l o w e r l o s s e s t h a n t h e 1 1 0 k V n e t w o r k . T h e 40 0 k V n e t w o r k p r o v i d e s a h i g h c a p a c i t y l i n k
between Moneypoint generation station and Galway on the west coast and Dublin on the
east. The 220 kV network comprises a number of single circuit loops around the country.
Typically large generation stations (greater than 100 MW) are connected to the 220 kV or
400 kV networks.
The 110 kV1 lines, which constituted the entire transmission system prior to the 1960s,
provide parallel paths to the 220 kV system. It is the most extensive element of the grid,
reaching into every county in the Republic of Ireland.
The

transmission

system

generally

comprises

overhead

lines,

except

in

limited

circumstances, such as in the city centres of Dublin and Cork, where underground cables
are used. Table 2-1 presents the total lengths of overhead lines2 and cables at the different
voltage levels. Revision of individual line lengths are subject to confirmation following
completion of network development projects.

Transformers are required to link the different voltage networks, providing paths for power
to flow from the higher to the lower voltage networks. The total transformer capacity
between the different voltage levels is presented in Table 2-2.

Reactive compensation devices are used to improve network voltages in local areas.
Existing reactive devices connected to the grid include shunt capacitors, static var
compensators (SVCs) and shunt reactors. Table 2-3 shows the total amounts of each type.
Capacitors and SVCs help to support local voltages in areas where low voltages may
otherwise occur. Shunt reactors suppress voltages in areas where they would otherwise be
too high, most likely during periods of low demand.

units, connected to a double circuit 275 kV line running from Louth to Tandragee in Co.
Armagh. In addition to the main 275/220 kV double circuit, there are two 110 kV
connections, one between Letterkenny in Co. Donegal and Strabane in Co. Tyrone, and the
other between Corraclassy in Co. Cavan and Enniskillen in Co. Fermanagh. The purpose of
these 110 kV circuits is to provide support to either system for certain conditions or in the
event of an unexpected circuit outage. Phase shifting transformers in Strabane and
Enniskillen are used to control the power flow under normal conditions.

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

While the design capacity of each of the 275/220 kV cross-border circuits is 600 MVA, the
actual capacity of the circuits to accommodate transfers between the two systems at any
time depends on the prevailing system conditions on either side of the border, including
the ability to deal with system separation.

2010 in November 2010, for public consultation. The report details the transmission
development projects that have been initiated by the TSO in addition to a discussion of
further developments that may arise in the period of the plan.
The development plans include projects required to facilitate demand growth and new
generation and demand connections in compliance with the Transmission Planning Criteria
(TPC).

The

presented

in

this

Forecast

Statement (TFS) are based on those projects that have been selected as optimum solutions
to known network problems. All information presented on network transfer capabilities and
opportunities is contingent on the completion of these development projects in the
assumed timeframe.
It should be noted that the information presented here is a snap shot of an evolving plan.
Further investment is likely to be required before the end of the period of the plan to
maintain standards in all parts of the network. While the TSO is considering other
reinforcements, these are not at the stage of maturity required for inclusion in this
statement. In addition, the connection of new generation or large point demands are likely

requirements. The solutions are likely to be a combination of robust strategic developments


and short term reinforcements to maintain flexibility in the system.
The following is an overview of the major 400 kV and 220 kV network developments planned
for the system at the beginning of July 2010, when data was frozen in order to facilitate the

these and of significant 110 kV reinforcement projects planned for the system. The planned
developments are illustrated on a map and on the schematic network diagrams in
Appendix A. New generation connections and new transmission interface stations are
described in Sections 2.4 and 2.5 respectively.

2.3.1

Flagford-Srananagh 220 kV Development

Srananagh 220 kV station, east of Sligo town, will be connected to the 220 kV network by
an overhead line from Flagford, near Carrick-on-Shannon, thus extending the 220 kV
network into the north-west. A number of 110 kV lines will be connected into the new
station, making Srananagh a new hub for power flows into the north-west. The FlagfordSrananagh 220/110 kV project is needed to reinforce the network in this area of growing
demand, and to reduce the risk of loss of supply at winter peak and during maintenance
outages. The 110 kV elements of this project were completed in 2009. At the time of the
data freeze, it was assumed that the 220 kV elements of the project would be due for
completion in 2011.

2.3.2

Glanagow-Raffeen 220 kV Circuit

The planned new 220 kV circuit from Glanagow to Raffeen in Co. Cork will be part submarine
cable, part underground cable. It is expected to be completed in 2011.

2.3.3

400 kV line to Northern Ireland

A new 400 kV line between the national grid and Northern Ireland is currently being
progressed by the TSO and Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE). The line will connect into a
new 400/220 kV station, probably located in Co. Cavan, provisionally referred to as the
Mid-Cavan station elsewhere in this TFS.
In the event of a loss of the existing 275 kV double circuit connecting the national grid to
Northern Ireland, the pre-fault transfers would be directed across the Letterkenny-Strabane
and Corraclassy-Enniskillen 110 kV cross-border circuits. In this instance, to guard against
damage to these lines, protection equipment will switch out the 110 kV circuits resulting in
separation of the two systems.
System separation, depending on the pre-separation flow on the Louth-Tandragee 275 kV
double circuit, may result in a generation surplus on one system and a deficit on the other.

2-4

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

The system with a supply deficit may be required to disconnect demand customers. The
system with the supply surplus may have difficulty stabilising the system frequency. The
impact of potential system separation on each system can result in constraints on the
amount of power that can be transferred between the two systems.
The new circuit will provide an alternative high capacity path for power flows in the event of
the loss of the existing circuits. It will therefore overcome the system separation issue and
alleviate constraints on power transfers between the two systems. The project is expected
to be completed in 2014.

2.3.4

400 kV line from Woodland to Mid-Cavan

planned Mid-Cavan 400/220 kV station. Together with the planned 400 kV line from MidCavan to Northern Ireland this will further strengthen the link between the two transmission
systems. It is expected to be completed in 2014.

2.3.5

East-West Interconnector

In July 2006, Minister Noel Dempsey TD, then Minister for Communications, Marine and
Natural Resources, requested that the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) arrange a
competition to secure the construction of a 500 MW East-West interconnector between
Ireland and Great Britain. The Interconnector will connect a converter station near
Woodland 400kV transmission station in Co. Meath and to another converter station near
Deeside 400kV transmission station in North Wales via two High Voltage Direct Current
cables. The interconnector will be capable of importing and exporting 500MW of electricity.
The project is now fully permitted. Design, manufacturing, and construction are now
underway in Britain and Ireland. Marine installation works are scheduled to take place in
2011 and 2012. The interconnector is expected to be operational in the latter part of 2012.

Inchicore-Maynooth No. 1 and No. 2 220 kV lines. A number of the existing 110 kV lines in
the area will be connected to the new Finnstown station, ensuring that adequate
infrastructure is in place to meet the increasing electricity demand in the West Dublin area
and reducing the risk of loss of supply at winter peak and during maintenance outages. This
project is due for completion in 2013.

2- 5

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

2.3.7

Balgriffin 220 kV Development

Balgriffin 220 kV station, in north County Dublin, will be connected to the 220 kV network
by an underground cable from Finglas. A number of the existing 110 kV lines in the area will
be connected to the new Balgriffin station, ensuring that adequate infrastructure is in place
to meet the increasing electricity demand in the North East Dublin area and reducing the
risk of loss of supply at winter peak and during maintenance outages. This project is due
for completion in 2014.

2.3.8

Kilpaddoge 220 kV Development

Kilpaddoge 220 kV station, in north Co. Kerry, will be connected into the existing
Clashavoon-Tarbert and Killonan-Tarbert 220 kV lines. A number of 110 kV lines will be
connected into the new station, making Kilpaddoge a new hub for power flows into the
south-west. Kilpaddoge 220/110 kV project is needed to accommodate the planned
generation in the south-west and the refurbishment of the existing Tarbert 220 kV. This
project is due for completion in 2013.

2.3.9

Moneypoint-Kilpaddoge 220 kV Circuit

A planned new submarine cable across the Shannon estuary from Moneypoint in Co. Clare to
Kilpaddoge in north Co. Kerry will create a necessary new path for power out of the DublinMoneypoint group of generators into the south-west and a path for power out of the southwest to the 400 kV network. It is expected to be completed in 2013.

2.3.10

Ballyvouskill 220 kV Development

Ballyvouskill 220 kV station will be looped into the existing Clashavoon-Tarbert 220 kV
line. The station will be linked to the existing Garrow 110 kV station by two new 110 kV
overhead lines. Ballyvouskill 220/110 kV project is needed to accommodate the planned
generation in the south-west. This project is due for completion in 2014.

2.3.11

Knockanure 220 kV Development

Knockanure 220 kV station will be looped into the existing Clashavoon-Tarbert 220 kV line.
The station will be looped into the existing Trien-Tarbert 110 kV circuit and the planned
Trien-Athea 110 kV circuit. Knockanure 220/110 kV project is needed to accommodate the
planned generation in the south-west. This project is due for completion in 2014.

2.3.12

Kishkeam 220 kV Development

Kishkeam 220 kV station will be looped into the existing Clashavoon-Tarbert 220 kV line.

DETAILED NETWORK INFORMATION

Figure A-1 in Appendix A presents a geographical map of the grid at the beginning of July
2010. This is also available in A3 format in Appendix K.
The electrical characteristics and capacity ratings of the existing network are included in
the following tables in Section B.1 of Appendix B.
Tables B-2 to B-5 list the electrical characteristics of the existing overhead lines and
underground cables at the different voltage levels. The ratings are shown in MVA for winter
and for summer reference temperature conditions, 5C and 25C respectively.
Tables B-6 to B-8 list data for each existing transmission transformer. The data includes
impedance values, nameplate ratings and tap ranges. The voltage tapping range for each
transformer is given as the percentage deviation from the nominal voltage ratio at the two
extreme tap positions.
Table B-9 lists details of the phase shifting transformer at Carrickmines 220 kV station.
Table B-10 includes the Mvar capacity data for existing reactive compensation devices.
Figure A-2 in Appendix A presents a geographical map of the grid as forecast in 2017,
including the planned developments. The schematic network diagrams in Appendix A show
snapshots of the existing grid and planned developments at the end of 2010, 2011, 2014
and 2017. The diagrams indicate stations, circuits, transformers, generation, reactive
devices and phase shifting transformers.

DEMAND

The flow of power on the grid is determined largely by the generation feeding into it and the
demand that is drawn from it. This chapter deals with forecasts of the total peak demand on
the transmission network, and of demand at individual transmission-connected stations.
T h e Al l - i s l a nd G e n er a t i on C a p a c i t y St a t e m e nt 2 0 1 1 - 2 0 2 0 ( G CS ) , p u b l i s h e d b y t h e E i r G r i d a n d
SONI in December 2010, contains forecasts of future energy consumption and demand for
the ten-year period to 2020.

3.1

FORECASTS OF TRANSMISSION PEAKS

Table 3-1 presents the forecasts of transmission demand for the seven years 2011 to 2017,
as they were expected to be published in the GCS. It should be noted that these forecasts
were the best available projections during the preparation of this statement. Ultimately,
the figures published in the GCS 2011-2020 may differ slightly.
While it is difficult to accurately predict a peak demand figure for a particular year, the
forecasts in Table 3-1 may be taken as indicative of a general trend in demand growth.
Three demand values are presented for each year: the winter peak, the summer peak and
the summer valley.

The winter peak figures represent the expected annual peak demands that are forecast to
occur in the October to February winter period of each year e.g., the 2011 forecast of
4,724 MW is the maximum demand projected to occur in winter 2010/11. These peak
forecasts take account of the influence of demand-side management (DSM) schemes, such
as the TSOs winter peak demand reduction scheme (WPDRS). In winter 2009/10, DSM
accounted for approximately 120 MW of a reduction to the peak demand. This amount of
DSM is assumed to continue over the next eight years.
The summer peak refers to the average peak value between March and September. This is
typically 20% lower than the winter peak. While the overall grid power flow may be lower in
summer than in winter, this may not be the case for flows on all circuits. In addition, the

3-1

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

capacity of overhead lines is lower because of higher ambient temperatures, while network
maintenance, normally carried out in the March to September period, can weaken the
network, further reducing its capability to transport power.
The annual minimum is referred to as the summer valley in this TFS. Summer valley cases
examine the impact of less demand and less generation dispatched. This minimum
condition is of particular interest when assessing the capability to connect new generation.

across the grid than at peak times. The forecasts of summer valley demands in Table 3-1
assume a figure of 36% of the annual maximum demand, which is consistent with historical
summer valley demand data.

3.1.1

Peak Out-turn for Winter 2009/10

The peak exported demand in winter 2009/10 was 4,922 MW. This figure is 368 MW lower
than the transmission peak forecast for winter 2009/10 of 5,290 MW presented in

T r a n s m i s s i on F o r e c a s t St a t e m e nt 2 0 0 8 - 2 0 1 4 . A t t h e t i m e o f p e a k t h e p r o d u c t i o n f r o m w i n d
generation was 83 MW. The peak figure indicates the difficulty in accurately predicting the
maximum demand in a particular year. Peak demands may be higher or lower than forecast
depending on factors such as weather conditions and customer behaviour. The TSO will
continue to monitor future peaks and adjust its forecasts accordingly.

3.2

COMPARISON WITH PREVIOUS DEMAND FORECAST

Table 3-2 compares the winter peak transmission demand forecasts in this TFS with those
given in Transmission Forecast Statement 2010-2016. The current demand forecasts reflect
an average increase in winter peak demand of 2.0% over the period 2011 to 2017. This
corresponds to that expected in Transmission Forecast Statement 2010-2016. As such, the
peak projections to 2017 are similar for the same years in Transmission Forecast Statement

2010-2016.

FORECAST DEMAND AT TRANSMISSION INTERFACE STATIONS

Transmission interface stations are the points of connection between the transmission
system and the distribution system, or directly-connected customers. These are mostly
110 kV stations. In Dublin city, where the Distribution System Operator (DSO) operates the
110 kV network, the interface is usually at 220 kV stations.

3-2

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

Appendix C lists the forecast demands at each transmission interface station at time of
winter peak, summer peak and summer valley for all years from 2011 to 2017. Demand
projections at individual transmission stations are developed from the system demand
forecasts on a top-down basis. The forecasting process includes regular monitoring and
review of trends in consumption in all parts of the country. The allocation of the system
demand forecast to each station is based pro-rata on an up-to-date measurement of actual
peak demand at each station. Account is taken of planned transfers of demand between
stations as agreed with the DSO. In this way, changes in the geo-diversity of electricity
consumption are captured. This process provides a station demand forecast and by
extension a regional demand forecast for the short to medium term.
The system-wide demand forecasts, presented in Table 3-1, include transmission losses
whereas the individual station demand forecasts do not. Transmission losses therefore
account for the difference between the system-wide demand forecasts and the sum of the
forecasts at each interface station in Appendix C.
Demand forecasts for the small number of directly-connected customers are the current best
estimates of requirements. In some cases, the estimates may be less than contracted
Maximum Import Capacity (MIC) values, but are chosen to give a better projection of
expected demand on a system-wide basis. However, when analysing the capacity for new
demand in a particular area, the MIC values of local directly-connected customers are
assumed to ensure that the contracted MIC is reserved.
Although demand-side management schemes are expected to reduce some industries'
demands over winter peak hours, their normal demand levels are included in the winter
peak demand forecasts shown in Table C-1 in Appendix C and are used in the power flow
diagrams in Appendix J, as they are more indicative of general power flows.

3.4

DEMAND PROFILES

Electricity usage follows some generally accepted patterns. For example, annual peak
demand occurs between 17.00 and 19.00 on winter weekday evenings, while minimum usage
occurs during summer weekend night-time hours. Figure 3-1 shows the profile for the
weekly peaks across the year for 2009.
Figure 3-2 presents four daily demand profiles that indicate how electricity usage varies
throughout the day. The demand profiles are for the day on which the annual peak occurred
in Winter 2009/2010 as well as profiles for typical summer and winter weekdays and for the
minimum demand day. The profiles, with demand levels ranging from approximately
1,664 MW to 4,863 MW, indicate that the power system deals with a wide variation in
demand throughout the year. Even within the day demand variations are substantial.

3-3

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

Figure 3-2 illustrates that on the winter peak day the peak demand is almost twice the
minimum demand on that day, a variation of over 2,207 MW. A number of points on this
diagram, the winter peak (WP), typical summer peak (SP) and summer valley (SV) demands,
are examined in the analyses undertaken for this TFS.

GENERATION

This chapter gives information about existing generation capacity and projections for the
seven years to 2017. All generation capacity and dispatch figures in this Transmission
Forecast Statement (TFS) are expressed in exported or net terms i.e., generation unit output
less the units own auxiliary load.
On the 01st of July 2010, when data was frozen in order to permit TFS analyses to be carried
out, some 8,027 MW (net) of generation capacity was installed in the Republic of Ireland. Of
this 7,180 MW is connected to the national grid and 847 MW is connected directly to the
distribution system. Sections 4.1 to 4.4 detail planned developments with respect to
generation over the period covered by this TFS.

4.1

EXISTING AND PLANNED GRID-CONNECTED GENERATION

The 7,180 MW figure for grid-connected generation capacity includes generators that
connected to the grid in 2009/2010, namely the Lisheen Wind Farm in Co. Tipperary

Currently, 19 contracts have been signed, agreeing to connect a total generation capacity of
1,850 MW to the grid. These planned generators are listed in Table 4-1 with their expected
connection dates as at the time of the data freeze.

PLANNED RETIREMENT/DIVESTITURE OF GENERATION PLANT

The divestiture or closure of generation plant could have a significant impact on the ability
of the grid to comply with standards. Under the Grid Code, a minimum of 24 months notice
is required by the TSO to address the potential implications of any generation closures.
It was announced in November 2006 that an agreement had been reached between ESB and
the CER to reduce ESBs share of the electricity market. Under the terms of the agreement
ESB had to close or divest 1,300 MW of plant by 2010.
The Aghada peaking unit has transferred to Tawnaghmore. Connection agreements have
been signed with the DSO to the effect that two 52 MW peaking units will become DSO
costumers, connected at Tawnaghmore.
ESB Power Generation confirmed the closure of Poolbeg Units 1, 2 and 3. The steam turbine
at Marina ceased operation in March 2010.
Endesa has purchased Great Island and Tarbert generation stations as well as Rhode and
Tawnaghmore peaking plants from ESB.

EMBEDDED GENERATION

On the 01st of July 2010, there was approximately 847 MW of embedded generation plant
i.e., plant connected to the distribution system or to the system of a directly-connected
demand customer. This figure comprises combined heat and power (CHP) schemes, small
industrial thermal units and renewable generation from wind, small hydro, land-fill gas
(LFG) and biomass sources. Table 4-2 lists the existing embedded generation capacity totals
by generation type. Table D-3 in Appendix D provides details of the existing embedded wind
farms and their capacities.

noted that these forecasts were the best available projections during the preparation of
this statement. Ultimately, the figures published in the GCS 2011-2020 may differ slightly.
As at the 01st of July 2010, 2 conventional generators, totalling 89 MW have signed
connection offers and are committed to connecting to the distribution network over the next
few years. Table 4-3 shows the total amount of committed conventional generation capacity
expected to connect to the distribution network.

Because of the variability of wind, a fixed contribution from embedded wind farms is not taken into
account in the calculation of the peak transmission flow forecasts. Rather a number of wind
scenarios are considered in the TFS analyses.

WIND GENERATION

Over the past two decades wind power generation in the Republic of Ireland has increased
from 6 MW (one wind farm) to 1,520 MW (123 wind farms) at the beginning of July 2010.
Figure 4-1 shows the existing and planned transmission-connected, distribution-connected
and the total connected wind power capacity at year end from 1992 to 2017. The graph
illustrates the increase in wind power in recent years.

As at the 01st of July 2010, 72 wind farms totalling 1,042 MW have signed connection offers
and are committed to connecting to the transmission or distribution networks over the next
few years. Table 4-4 shows the total amount of existing and committed wind generation
capacity expected to be connected at the end of each year from the existing situation at the

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

This chapter describes the future performance of the transmission network in terms of
forecast power flows, compliance with planning standards, and short circuit levels.
The analysis of the short circuit currents is updated in this TFS and includes any changes to
the existing and planned transmission network data and the existing and projected demand
and generation made up to the July 2010 data freeze.

5.1

FORECAST POWER FLOWS

The power flow at any given time depends on demand levels and the output from each
generator. There are many possible combinations of generator outputs (i.e., dispatches)
that can meet the system demand requirements at any given time and many possible
demand scenarios. Planned additions of generation, as detailed in Tables D-2 and D-3 in
Appendix D, create a greater level of generation dispatch variability with which the grid
must cope.
In examining network performance and grid capability for new generation and demand, a
range of generation dispatches is considered. As stated in Section 1.2 in Chapter 1,
dispatches were prepared on an all-island basis, with power flows across the existing
275 kV and planned 400 kV cross-border circuits permitted. Dispatches considered for 2014
and

options for addressing other future network problems. The TDP details the transmission
development projects that have been initiated by the TSO in addition to a discussion of
further developments that may arise in the period of the plan.
The parts of the network not identified in the TDP are expected to be within standards
based on current assumptions. However, the circa 5,500 MW of generation that received
offers in Gate 3, may significantly impact on network performance, potentially putting some

5- 1

of these areas outside standards. Similarly, other developments such as the connection of a
new large generator or demand may put areas of the network outside standards. In such
cases, further investment will be required to restore the network to standards.

equipment, and maintaining system stability, security and quality of supply.


The transmission system is designed and operated to maintain short circuit levels below
the standard equipment ratings listed at each voltage level in Table 5-1. In planning the
system a 10% margin is applied, so that 220 kV short circuit currents, for example, will be
kept below 36 kA.
It should be noted that Grid Code Version 3.1 (released in May 2008) contains a
modification which stipulates that fault levels at designated stations may be allowed to
increase to 31.5 kA. If necessary, the equipment at these stations is to be modified or
replaced in order to comply with this new rating. The stations currently designated for
operation of the 110 kV equipment up to 31.5 kA, as proposed by the TSO, are; Barnahely,
College Park, Corduff, Finglas, Kilbarry, Knockraha, Louth, Marina, Raffeen, Tarbert and
Trabeg. The TSO will annually publish an updated list of designated stations.
Local short circuit current is a factor to be considered in the connection of new generation
or demand. The Grid Code requires that users connecting to the transmission system design
their plant and apparatus to withstand the short circuit currents set out in Table 5-1.
Changes in the network or the addition of generation can bring about an increase in the
short circuit currents at a station nearby. Where the forecast currents would exceed the
rating of a circuit breaker or other equipment, it would be essential to replace the
equipment with higher rated plant or take other measures to reduce the short circuit
currents.

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

Short circuit currents were calculated for all grid buses in accordance with international
standards. The analysis was carried out for single-phase and three-phase faults for winter
peak and summer valley, for the years 2011, 2014 and 2017. A description of the calculation
method and the results are given in Appendix E as well as an explanation of the terms used.
Analysis was carried out for the winter peak as the results should indicate the maximum
short circuit currents on the system. Conversely, analysis of the summer valley was carried
out as the results should indicate the minimum short circuit currents. In reality the
minimum short circuit current at each bus could be lower depending on what generation
dispatch and network conditions are assumed. Those who require the absolute minimum
short circuit level at a particular bus are advised to contact EirGrid directly.
The generation dispatches for the winter peak and summer valley studies are presented in
Table D-5 in Appendix D. For the calculations of short circuit currents at winter peaks, all
other generators are modelled as dispatched at zero MW. This measure ensures a high
infeed to faults from all local generator sources in the studies ensuring that the most
critical potential scenario is considered for the calculation of short circuit currents at each
bus. For the calculations of short circuit currents at summer valleys, generators that were
not dispatched were not synchronised to the system.
The results in Appendix E include RMS break currents, peak make currents and X/R ratios.
In summary, the RMS break is an indication of the short circuit currents that a circuit
breaker may have to interrupt i.e., open. The peak make fault current is the maximum
current that a circuit breaker may have to make i.e., close onto, at the instant of the fault.
The X/R ratio is dependent on the proximity of the station to generation. A very high X/R
ratio, as for Dublin stations, arises from the fact that the station is heavily interconnected
to the surrounding network and is close to concentrations of generation. This leads to high
short circuit currents, particularly peak make currents.
The studies assume that the network is in the normal intact condition (as indicated in the
power flow diagrams) and that all circuits connected to a bus contribute to the fault. These
results correspond to total busbar short circuit current. The short circuit current that could
flow through each individual circuit breaker may be less than the total busbar short circuit
current. Figure 5-1 presents the short circuit current results for the winter peak 2014 case
as a percentage of standard equipment rating. Two percentage ranges are represented by
different colours as indicated. The orange dots represent stations where short circuit
currents may exceed 80% of the standard ratings and the purple dots between 50 and 80%.
The results indicate that in most of the country short circuit currents are relatively low,
whereas short circuit currents at a number of stations in Dublin and Cork are above 80% of
the standard ratings because of the high concentration of existing and planned generation
in those areas. Short circuit currents are also high at Louth, where the main transmission

circuit to Northern Ireland connects, and in the Tarbert area, where a new submarine cable
connecting the Tarbert area to Moneypoint generation station is expected to be completed
in 2013. The TSO will continue to monitor short circuit currents at these stations to ensure
that they remain within safety standards.

OVERVIEW OF TRANSMISSION SYSTEM CAPABILITY ANALYSES

This chapter describes the analyses carried out to determine the capability of the grid to
accommodate additional demand at various parts of the network. The results of these
analyses, together with information in other chapters, provide the basis for the statements
of opportunity in Chapter 8.
The analyses were carried out for three specific years:
2011: This is the first year of the seven-year period of the Transmission Forecast Statement
(TFS). The information provided for 2011 gives developers a useful indication as to the
opportunities that exist in the short-term.
2014: This is the mid-year of the seven-year period. Because of typical lead-times for
construction of demand plant, this year represents the more realistic beginning of the
period of interest for developers at a pre-feasibility stage wishing to connect to the
transmission system.
2017: This covers the final year of the TFS, which extends to winter 2017/18.
Studies were carried out for the summer and following winter of each year using
information describing the existing and planned transmission system as known at the
beginning of July 2010. The base case generation dispatch scenarios used for the studies
are presented in Table D-5 in Appendix D.
The locations analysed for new demand have been carefully reviewed based on feedback

needs of customers.
It should be noted that the results of these studies are dependent on the assumptions made
about generation and demand, and on the completion dates of network development
projects as described in previous chapters. Factors that may influence the results are
discussed in Section 6.2.

6.1

TRANSFER CAPABILITY ANALYSES FOR NEW DEMAND

The grid is planned to meet forecast demands at all stations in the country. The demand
forecast for each 110 kV station is a proportion of the overall system demand forecast based
on historical demand distributions. Future demand customers that have signed connection
agreements are also included in station demand forecasts.
While additional demands above the forecast levels are not explicitly catered for in network
plans, there may be capacity for such additional demand inherent in the network at certain
locations. New demands can generally locate in an area that has excess generation capacity

6- 1

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

as this will reduce power flows out of the area. Alternatively, the addition of transmission
infrastructure generally provides a step increase in network capacity which may permit
demands higher than forecast levels, as illustrated in Figure 6-1. The blue line represents
the required capacity at a particular point in the network. The red line represents the
installed network capacity. Changes in installed capacity generally come in discrete steps,
thus providing spare capacity for a period of time.

Figure 6-2 illustrates the demand profile for a representative station. The blue line
represents the demand forecast at the station. The green bars represent a new step
increase in demand. The analysis carried out for this TFS examines the grids capability to
accept such increased demand above forecast levels at selected 110 kV and 220 kV stations.
The selected 110 kV and 220 kV stations, which feed principal towns and demand centres
distributed throughout the country, are shown in Figure 8-1 in Chapter 8. The results of this
analysis are useful in identifying opportunities for the connection of new or increased
demand of a size typical of industrial development in the Republic of Ireland.

power transfer is created. The method for this study, therefore, involves modelling
incremental power transfers between centres of existing generation and potential demand
areas. The transfer limit is reached when the first circuit overload or voltage problem
occurs following a circuit or generator outage. Outages during the maintenance of key
circuits were considered in these studies. Dynamic stability problems were not assessed. It
should be noted that only problems that are significantly exacerbated by the transfer are
relevant to the analysis.
In assessing opportunities for new demands, the TFS considers the capability of the
transmission grid only. The capability of the distribution system is not addressed. The

FACTORS IMPACTING ON RESULTS

The results of the analyses described in this chapter, and in the appendices, are based on a
set of assumptions about future demand growth, generation connections and transmission
developments. The key forecast factors on which the results depend are dynamic and,
therefore, the reality that emerges will not exactly match the forecasts. Consequently, the
results, while reasonably indicative, should not be interpreted as definitive projections.
The factors likely to have an impact on the outcomes include:

NETWORK CAPABILITY FOR NEW GENERATION

This chapter provides indicative information on the opportunities for generator connections
based on EirGrids grid development strategy, GRID25, and the Gate 3 group processing
scheme for generators.

7.1

G RID 25

Over the next 15 to 20 years, major changes will take place in Irelands electricity needs, in
its sources of fuel and in its fleet of power stations. Change will increasingly be driven by
issues of energy security, competitiveness, climate change and by the need to move away
from imported fuels.
The National Electricity Grid is a vital channel for supplying reliable, sustainable and
renewable energy and for open competition within the sector. A strong transmission grid
will bring the energy supplies which will enable Ireland to prosper economically and to
provide good quality of life to its people.
Reinforcing and upgrading the transmission system is required in order to maintain a
robust electricity network. The capacity of the bulk transmission system, comprising
circuits at 220 kV or higher, has remained largely unchanged in the last 20 years, a period
that has seen a growth of 150% in the electricity demand. EirGrid calculates that to
facilitate the necessary increase in renewable generation and to adequately meet the
demands of the electricity customer, the capacity of the bulk transmission system will need
to be doubled by 2025.
In October 2008, EirGrid published GRID25, its strategy for the long-term development of
the Transmission system. GRID25 will provide transmission capacity for increased electricity
demand, new conventional generators, increased interconnection and large amounts of
renewable generation. Since the GRID25 strategy was developed significant progress has
been made in optimising investment plans, in identifying new technical solutions, in
building new transmission circuits, and in uprating existing circuits.
Further details on GRID25 are available on the EirGrid website (www.eirgrid.com).

7.2

GATE 3 AND POST GATE 3 GENERATION APPLICANTS

The TSO and DSO have received a considerable number of new applications for connection
of generation to the system. Within the period 2010-2011 3,989 MW of wind generation and
1,314 MW of conventional generation will have received offers under Gate 3. Figure 4-3 and
Table 4-5 illustrate how Gate 3 generation is distributed across the country. Beyond Gate 3
there are a further 383 applications for connections totalling circa 20,000 MW.

Opportunities for Gate 3 Generation

On January 29th 2010 EirGrid published the Gate 3 Firm Access Quantities (FAQ), in
accordance with the Gate 3 group processing scheme. The publication details the potential
levels of firm network access available in the electricity grid for each Gate 3 project for
each year up to 2023, taking account of the proposed developments outlined in GRID25.
Details on the Gate 3 Firm Access Quantities are available on the EirGrid website
(www.eirgrid.com).

the TFS 2011, 2014 and 2017. Table 7-1 illustrates that by 2017 the expected developments
associated with GRID25 create firm capacity on the grid to accommodate almost 2,500 MW of
Gate 3 generation.

Figure 7-1 shows the level of Gate 3 generation (based on the published FAQs) that is
expected to have firm access in each area by 2017, the amount of Gate 3 generation
awaiting firm access after this year and the year in which the last applicant is expected to
have received firm access for its full MEC. Figure 7-1 could be used to form an opinion on

7-2

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

what areas could have additional network capacity in the short to medium-term (i.e. 4-8
years) to accommodate additional generator connections over and above those included in
Gate 3. For example, very few applicants receive firm access in Areas A, B, E, H1 and H2 by
2017 while the last applicant does not receive firm access until quite late in the process.
This would suggest that these areas are awaiting significant network reinforcements to
facilitate generator connections. Conversely, all applicants in Areas D and G are due to
receive firm access in 2014 and all applicants in Area J are due to receive access by 2018.
This would suggest that Areas D, G and J are not awaiting major long term reinforcements
and therefore, could potentially be favourable locations for some level future generator
connections.

In addition to the results presented in Figure 7-1, a rudimentary analysis was performed on
the GRID25 network assumed for the published Firm Access Quantities, with all of Gate 3
generation connected. The analysis suggests that Areas G, H1, H2, J, and K may have the
capability to accommodate further generation increases. Areas A, B, C, D, E, F and I have
limited capability. The potential opportunities for post Gate 3 generation connections are
illustrated in Figure 7-2.

7-3

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

It must be stressed that this information on generation opportunities is presented as a


general guide only. It is based on the GRID25 network, assumed for the Gate 3 FAQs
published in January 2010 and is subject to change. The generation opportunities are not
cumulative. Connection of a large new, non-Gate 3 generator to the grid would significantly
alter the available opportunities.

Limited Capacity
Average Capacity
Higher Capacity

Figure 7-2 Potential Post Gate 3 generation opportunities


The following additional points in relation to generation opportunities should also be
noted:

While some areas of the network may appear to have little or no additional
capability for generator connections, these areas could potentially accommodate
generation technologies which complement the existing generation portfolio. For
example, an area may have reached capacity for one form of generation technology,
but it could accommodate a flexible form of generation such as pumped storage or
peaking capacity plants.

Section 4.2 contains details of the existing plan for the divestiture or closure of
generation plant. In the event that additional generation plants are closed, this is
likely to free up some capacity on the network for new generators.

inherently create significant capacity on the grid to accommodate new generation. If new
generators sign connection agreements in an area that has received increased grid capacity
as a result of GRID25 system reinforcements, they will use up some, or perhaps all, of the
available capacity in that area.
Given the scale of generator applications it is highly unlikely, even with the significant
network expansion planned, that there will be capacity on the grid to provide firm access to
all post Gate 3 applications before 2025.
The manner in which post Gate 3 applications will be processed has yet to be decided by
the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER).
Up-to-date information on applications, new generation connection agreements and the
process for obtaining a formal connection offer are available on www.eirgrid.com. Before
making any commercial decisions developers should contact EirGrid for discussions on their
proposed developments.

NETWORK CAPABILITY FOR NEW DEMAND

The national grid is being planned to meet anticipated demand growth at all stations on the
grid. Appendix C provides projections of demand at each station. This chapter presents the
results of analyses of the capability of the grid to accommodate increased demand, above
projected demand levels, and discusses the opportunities for increased demand of a size
typical of industrial development in the Republic of Ireland. Twenty-seven 110 kV stations,
which feed principal towns and demand centres throughout the country, were chosen for
this analysis. These are shown in Figure 8-1. In response to stakeholder feedback, this TFS
also includes an analysis of a number of 220 kV stations to help identify potentially
suitable locations for major industrial load centres.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEW DEMAND

Opportunity relates to where there is or will be capacity for greater use of the grid

demand in an area that requires reinforcement, the TSO will progress relevant grid
developments. Demand developers should consult the TSO early in their development
process to explore options relating to their proposal thus enabling timely decision making.
As a general rule, opportunity at a particular station would tend to reduce over the course
of the seven years covered by the Transmission Forecast Statement (TFS) as normal demand
growth uses up available capacity. However, in many cases demand opportunities improve
in later years as a result of planned network or generation developments.
In 2010 there will be opportunities for additional large demand at 20 of the 27 110 kV
stations examined and in 2017 there will be opportunities at all 27 stations.
Opportunities for increased demands are spread around the country. In general, individual
demands up to 10 MW can be connected to most of the other stations on the grid. An
additional demand of 10 MW or more, over and above forecast demand, represents a
significant increase for most locations. To put this in context, a demand of 10 MW
represents the consumption of a typical pharmaceutical plant.
Following consultations with stakeholders, this TFS includes an assessment of four 220 kV
nodes to determine the capability of the transmission system to accommodate a major
industrial load centre in the order of three times the size of the existing major consumers.
The results show that Corduff and Shannonbridge 220 kV stations would be suitable
connection points for a major industrial load centre, with each capable of accommodating
in excess of 200 MW without additional network reinforcements.
Figure 8-2 illustrates the opportunities for demand in 2014 and 2017. The graphics show
that there will be significant demand opportunities in most parts of the country throughout
the seven-year period to 2017.
It should be noted that demand opportunity is tested for each station on an individual
basis. As such, the opportunities presented are not cumulative i.e., if new demand connects
in an area that is shown to have opportunity they will use up some or all of the available
capacity in that area.

IMPACT OF CHANGES SINCE THE DATA FREEZE

Since the beginning of July 2010, a number of developments have occurred that could
impact on the results in Table 8-1. Projects selected and planned since July 2010 are listed
in Section 1.4. Of these projects the planned upratings in the south of the network should
improve demand opportunites at Cahir, Trabeg and Waterford.

8.4

HOW TO USE THE INFORMATION FOR DEMAND

Although not every station was considered, the results presented can be regarded as a
guide to opportunities at other stations in the same area. Those considering development
of a significant demand in the Republic of Ireland should take the following approach for an
indication of whether their demand is likely to be accommodated without the need for
additional reinforcements that could potentially delay their connection.
The first step is to consult the maps in Appendix A to find the nearest transmission station
to the proposed development and where different, the nearest station for which opportunity
has been assessed. The anticipated demand growth at the relevant station can be deduced
from the demand forecasts presented in Appendix C. The grid is being planned to meet this
level of demand increase. However, if the proposed new demand is far greater than the
annual forecast increase the potential developer should check the opportunity at the

8-4

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

nearest 110 kV station presented in Table 8-1 in this chapter. The potential developer
should then check the assumptions in Chapters 2 to 4 on which these results are based,
and consider the impact of changes to the network since the analysis was carried out.
To illustrate this approach, the following is an example of how a developer planning to
connect a new large demand of 12 MW (about 13 MVA) near Sligo in 2011 might use the TFS.
The maps in Appendix A show that the nearest 110 kV station is Sligo station. Appendix C
shows that the demand at Sligo will be about 54.9 MW at winter peak 2010/11. This is
forecast to grow by 3.0 MW between 2011 and 2014 i.e., by 1 MW per annum. The proposed
12 MW is far greater than the annual forecast increase. It therefore represents a step
change in the demand at Sligo i.e., the type of increase that is the subject of the transfer
capability analysis presented in this chapter.
The results for Sligo in Table 8-1 show that the opportunity for increased demand is less
than 10 MW in 2011. The table directs the potential developer to constraint P1 in Appendix F
for additional information on the constraint and the plans that the TSO have in place to
address the constraint. Table F-1 in Appendix F shows that potential overloading of the
Athlone-Shannonbridge 110 kV line is responsible for limiting the opportunity. The overload
occurs under summer peak trip-maintenance conditions. Capital project CP552, which
entails an uprate of the existing Athlone-Shannonbridge 110 kV line, has been initiated by
the TSO to relieve the constraint. Detailed information on capital project CP552 can be
found in Appendix B. Following completion of this project towards the end of 2011 the
opportunity at Sligo increases to 50 MW in 2014. This indicates that the network is likely to
be capable of connecting and supplying the proposed demand once capital project CP552
has been fully implemented.

SHORT BUS CODES

The following table associates full station names with the two or three letter codes used in
the schematic diagrams in Section A.3, in the tables in Appendices B and C, and the power
flow diagrams in Appendix J. Names and codes for future stations, highlighted in yellow,
are tentative and may change. In particular Mid-Cavan and Laois are holding names
until the sites for the stations are confirmed.
Stations in Northern Ireland that are directly-connected to stations in the Republic of
Ireland are included in this table and marked with a * symbol.

SCHEMATIC NETWORK DIAGRAMS

Schematic diagrams are included to assist users in understanding the network and in the
identification of the changes outlined in Appendix B. Lines, cables, transformers, station
busbars and reactive compensation devices are illustrated in the diagrams. The type of
generation (thermal, wind or hydro) at a station is also displayed. Table A-2 indicates the
diagram conventions.
The schematic diagram for 2010 highlights the developments due to be completed in 2010.
The diagram for 2011 displays developments due for completion in 2011. The 2014 diagram
highlights developments expected to be completed between 2011 and the end of 2014 while
the 2017 diagram highlights developments due to be completed between 2014 and the end
of 2017.
In all diagrams blue shading represents a new development, pink shading denotes a circuit
uprating, yellow shading indicates the locations of conventional generators and orange
shading indicates the locations of wind generators.

Table B-23 Characteristics of Reactive Compensation Expected in 2012
Tables B-2 to B-5 and Tables B-11 to B-15 include the ratings for lines and cables in MVA for
winter and summer reference temperature conditions at 1 per unit (p.u.) voltage. The higher
ambient temperature in summer dictates a reduced thermal rating for overhead lines. The
rating is the maximum permissible power that the circuit can transport on a continuous
basis. Reference ambient temperatures are:

winter

5C;

summer

25C.

The electrical characteristics of the transmission network at the three nominal voltage
levels are quoted in per unit to an MVA base of 100, and the applicable reference voltage as
reflected in Table B-1.
Table B-1 Nominal and Reference Voltage Levels
Nominal Voltage Level

Reference Voltage

400 kV

380 kV

220 kV

220 kV

110 kV

110 kV

In some cases, other equipment associated with a line or cable, such as current
transformers, may have lower ratings. However, as these are easier to uprate or change out
than the line or cable, they are not expected to restrict access to the grid.
Historically, a small number of 110 kV stations were connected to the grid via a tee i.e., an
un-switched connection into an existing line between two other stations. For the purposes
of describing the various sections of lines in the following tables, the tee point is
identified by the name of the teed 110 kV station with a suffix T added.

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

APPENDIX C DEMAND FORECASTS AT INDIVIDUAL TRANSMISSION INTERFACE


STATIONS
Transmission interface stations are the points of connection between the transmission
system and the distribution system or directly-connected customers. Tables C-1 to C-3 list
the demand forecasts at each interface station for each of the seven years to 2017 at the
time of system winter peak, summer peak and summer valley, respectively.
The station demand values do not include transmission losses. Demand at stations that
interface with the distribution system do include distribution losses.
All transmission interface stations are 110 kV stations except for the four 220 kV interface
stations that supply the Dublin City networks operated by the DSO. These 220 kV interface
stations, Carrickmines, Finglas, Inchicore and Poolbeg, are included at the bottom of the
table.
Some 110 kV stations do not interface with distribution stations or directly-connected
demand stations. As there are no demand values for such stations, they are not included in
this table.

D.1

GENERATION CONNECTED TO THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

Table D-1 lists existing and committed future generation and the contracted maximum
export capacity (MEC) of each unit. Table D-2 presents the maximum continuous rating
(MCR) of each unit at year end for each year up to 2017. All generation capacity figures in
Table D-1 and Table D-2 are expressed in exported terms i.e., generation unit output less
the units own auxiliary load. The units are grouped in these tables on a geographical
basis.

GENERATION DISPATCH DETAILS

Table D-5 lists the generation dispatch profiles used for the purposes of the TFS 2011-2017
short circuit analyses and demand opportunity analysis.
The SV column represents the dispatch at summer valley and WP denotes the winter peak
dispatch. Wind farms were dispatched at 35% of their rated capacity, which equates
approximately to their average expected output. The values shown are in exported terms
i.e., they are net of each generation unit's own consumption. They indicate the power
delivered to the grid.
In all instances, except the dispatch profiles used for the winter peak short circuit studies,
a dispatch of 0 MW indicats that the unit is not synchronised to the system and is
effectively off. For the calculations of short circuit currents at winter peaks, all generators
not dispatched are modelled as synchronised to the system and dispatched at zero MW.
It should be noted that station demand projections are developed from the system demand

loss figures calculated by the network models used in this TFS may differ from the forecast
figures and hence the dispatch totals may differ from the system demand forecasts in Table
3-1 in Chapter 3.

Engineering

Recommendation G74, which is a computer based analysis based on the International


Standard IEC60909.
The plot in Figure E-1 shows a typical short circuit current. Short circuit current is made up
of an AC component with a slow decay rate, and a DC component illustrated by the green
line with a much faster decay rate.

Figure E-1 Typical Short Circuit Current


The DC component of a short circuit current decays exponentially. Its rate of decay is
influenced by the ratio of the reactance (X) to the resistance (R) of the paths back to the
generators feeding power to the fault (the X/R ratio).
The reactance component becomes less dominant further out on the grid away from major
generation infeeds. Consequently the X/R ratio decreases and the rate of decay of the DC
component is much faster. The faster decaying DC component results in a smaller offset
applied to the total root mean square (RMS) break current.
The short circuit current that a circuit breaker is expected to interrupt during a fault is the
RMS of AC current offset by a DC current and is referred to as the total RMS break current.
The fault breaking current rating is limited by the thermal energy that the circuit breaker
can dissipate during the time the contacts take to separate. The peak make current is
higher than the break current and is the most onerous condition that a circuit breaker can
be exposed to. This will occur when a circuit breaker is closed onto an earthed item of
equipment e.g. bus bar, transmission line, transformer etc. At this instant in time, the DC
value is close to its maximum so that the total current (AC + DC) is at its peak. Circuit

E-1

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

breakers are typically rated approximately 2.5 times higher for peak make than for break
currents. In general, peak make currents are of concern at stations close to major
generation infeeds.
The transmission system is designed and operated to maintain RMS break short circuit
levels in accordance with Grid Code CC.8.6. A summary of these requirements is set out in
Table E-1. In designing the system, a 10% safety margin is applied.
It should be noted that Grid Code Version 3.4 (released in October 2009) contains a
modification which stipulates that fault levels at designated stations may be allowed to
increase to 31.5 kA. If necessary, the equipment at these stations is to be modified or
replaced in order to comply with this new rating. The stations currently designated for
operation of the 110 kV equipment up to 31.5 kA, as proposed by the TSO, are; Barnahely,
College Park, Corduff, Finglas, Kilbarry, Knockraha, Louth, Marina, Raffeen, Tarbert and
Trabeg. The TSO will annually publish an updated list of designated stations.

Recent connections of additional generation to the grid have raised concerns about the
peak-make levels in some areas. Peak-make values are therefore included for completeness.

E.2

ANALYSIS

The generation dispatches used in the short circuit analysis are shown in Table D-5 in
Appendix D. In the case of the winter peak studies, however, all generators that were not
originally dispatched as in Table D-5 were switched in and dispatched at outputs of 0 MW
and 0 Mvar.
The demand at each transmission interface station is assumed to contribute 1 MVA of
induction motor fault infeed per MW of load. An X/R ratio of 2.76 is assumed for these
loads, in accordance with the Engineering Recommendation G74.
The total RMS break current depends upon the circuit breaker break time i.e., the time it
takes for the protection to operate and for the circuit breaker contacts to fully separate. A
circuit breaker break time of 50 ms was assumed for the circuit breakers located at the
220 kV stations and a break time of 80 ms was applied to the 110 kV stations. These break

E-2

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

times are deemed to be appropriate in the case of the majority of circuit breakers on the
network.
The total RMS break current at a busbar is an indication of the short circuit level that one
could expect at that point in the network. However, they do not necessarily represent the
short circuit current that could flow through each individual breaker, which may be lower.

E.3

RESULTS

Tables E-2 to E-4 list total RMS break currents, peak make currents and X/R ratios for
single-phase to earth and balanced three-phase faults for grid busbars. These are
presented for maximum winter peak and minimum summer valley system demand conditions

APPENDIX F

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON OPPORTUNITIES

The transmission network is designed to provide a safe, reliable and economic transport
service for power from source to demand. The Transmission Planning Criteria (TPC) provides
a planning framework by which a balance can be achieved between reliability and economy.
Achieving this balance means that under certain circumstances some level of constraints
will exist in the system.
The Transmission System Operator (TSO) constantly reviews system performance as
circumstances change. For example, the connection of new generation or demand to the
grid, additional to the current forecasts and assumptions, or new interconnection transfers,
will alter the expected power flows. Constraints will arise if the new power flows exceed
planned grid capacity.
In designing out these constraints the TSO will take account of the following:

The extent of the constraint;

The impact on system security;

The overall economics of the operation of the system;

The cost of the solution;

The lead-time of the solution.

The analysis of transfer capabilities described in Chapter 8 identified a number of potential


system constraints that could limit power flows arising from new demand connections. Most
of these have been identified previously and are being managed by the TSO.
These potential transmission constraints are presented in the table below. The first column
in each table provides a cross-reference to the ITC results tables in Chapter 8. The second
column describes potentially overloaded circuits or names of stations at which low voltages
potentially occur following particular outages. The third column lists the circumstances

constraints for which projects have already been initiated, the final column provides the
reader with the CP number of the capital project designed to relieve the constraint. This can
be cross-referenced against the detailed descriptions of the planned projects provided in
Section B-2 of Appendix B.

INCREMENTAL TRANSFER CAPABILITY STUDIES FOR DEMAND

APPENDIX G STUDY METHODS


G.1

INCREMENTAL TRANSFER CAPABILITY STUDIES FOR DEMAND


G.1.1

Background

Transfer limit analysis was used in this Transmission Forecast Statement (TFS) to determine
the Incremental Transfer Capability (ITC) of the grid at a number of locations on the grid.
The ITC calculated is a measure of the transfer capability remaining in the physical grid for
further commercial activity over and above already anticipated uses. It provides an
indication of the flexibility of the grid to accommodate future demand increases in selected
areas without the requirement for further reinforcements.
The transfer analysis is intended as a pre-feasibility indication of opportunity for increased
demands.

The

method for

determining

ITC closely

aligns with

pre-feasibility

study

techniques.

G.1.2

Planning Criteria as Applied in Transfer Limit Analysis for Demand

In previous Transmission Forecast Statements the application of planning standards for the
analyses of demand and generation was the same in all respects except

for the

contingencies considered and voltage analysis. In the generation studies, trip-maintenance


(N-1-1) contingencies were not considered. An assumption was made that the hypothetical
generator could be constrained down or off during transmission circuit maintenance.
However, demands are not dispatchable, and so it is not acceptable to assume that the
hypothetical demand may be constrained off during a maintenance outage. It is necessary,
therefore, to assess the network performance against standards for trip-maintenance
contingencies in the analysis of increased demands. The reason voltage analysis was
performed as part of the ITC studies is because the addition of demand is likely to impact
on local voltages.

G.1.3

Method for Calculating Transfer Limits for Increased Demand

An AC loadflow numerical bi-section (binary) technique was used to screen for critical
contingencies and thermal overloads or voltage limitations. A bi-section algorithm is a
simple yet robust root-finding method where the interval is halved each iteration to narrow
in on a solution.
Transfers

were

considered

between

the

Dublin,

Northern

Ireland

and

South

generation blocks described in Table G-1 in Section G.1.3.2 and the 31 test nodes selected
for analysis.

G-1

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

The initial generator dispatches for the transfer capability studies are presented in Table D5 in Appendix D. Generators were modelled with their maximum output equivalent to their
Maximum Continuous Rating (MCR). As wind energy is variable, it cannot be relied upon to
serve demand. As such, local wind generation was switched out in the vicinity of the test
node. These dispatches, with wind generation local to the test node switched out, were
used for single contingency (N-1) studies. For N-G-1 and N-1-1 contingencies, some
centrally-dispatchable generation local to the test node was maximised to its MCR value, to
create a more favourable dispatch for the maintenance case.
To calculate the ITC, demand at 95% power factor was added at the test node in increasing
amounts. This was balanced by an equivalent increase in generation output from existing
generation within one of the three generation blocks. This is illustrated in Figure G-1. In
cases where full capacity was reached on all generation units within a generation block, the
maximum capacity was increased to allow further transfer. The limit for increased transfers
from the generation block to the test node was established by checking the postcontingency performance of the grid against thermal and then voltage standards. The
process was then repeated for the two remaining generation blocks.
Problems on the grid were not considered limiting unless they were sensitive to the
incremental transfers under examination. For the purposes of the studies for this TFS the
sensitivity factor used was a change in circuit loading of 5 MW or more for a 100 MW
transfer. In addition, overloads on the 220 and 400 kV networks were considered sensitive
to the transfer only if they were increased by 4 MW or more. Voltage problems were
considered sensitive if the voltage dropped by more than 3% for every 100 MW.
To assist the reader, the information from this analysis is presented concisely by combining
the results of the ITCs from the Dublin, Northern Ireland and South generation blocks
to each of the 31 selected stations. This provides an indication of the capabilities for
increased demand at each station. When considering single contingencies (N-1) on an intact
network the minimum ITC from Dublin, Northern Ireland or the south was chosen. However,
when considering trip-maintenance contingencies (N-1-1), the greater of the ITCs from
Dublin, Northern Ireland or the south was chosen. This was based on the assumption that
less onerous generation dispatches could be scheduled to accommodate maintenance
outages. The results are presented in Section 8.1 of Chapter 8.

Example: Calculation of Capability for Demand at Ennis 110 kV Station

This section provides an example of the analysis of the capability of Ennis 110 kV station to
accommodate increased demand at summer peak 2011. The example illustrates the steps
taken towards deriving the demand opportunity at Ennis 110 kV station.
The assessment was carried out by simulating the network for summer peak 2011 using the
demand forecasts presented in Table C-2 in Appendix C and the relevant generator dispatch
from Table D-5 in Appendix D.
Due to its variable nature, wind generation cannot be relied on to meet the demand at all
times. Therefore, to prepare the model for testing the capability for additional demand at
E n n i s , a l l w i n d g e n e r a t i o n i n t h e v i c in i t y o f E n n i s , w a s s w i t c h e d o f f .
Three sets of studies were carried out, with the extra demand in each met by increasing
generation in one or other of the Dublin, Northern Ireland and South generation
blocks. For each study in turn, the AC loadflow numerical bi-section technique was used to
add a test demand of 160 MW to Ennis 110 kV station. An equivalent amount of generation
was increased in each generation block in order to meet the increased demand at Ennis,
w h i c h s e t u p i n c r e m e n t a l p o w e r t r a n s f e r s b e t we e n e a c h g e n e r a t i o n b l o c k a n d E n n i s . T h e
analysis tested an exhaustive range of N-1 contingencies (individual circuit or generator
outages) to identify any resultant thermal overloads or under/over voltages. Assuming some

G-3

TRANSMISSION FORECAST STATEMENT 2011-2017

contingencies cause violations of overload or voltage standards at the maximum ITC, the
analysis bi-sected the difference between 0 MW and 160 MW and tested for violations at
80 MW. Depending on whether the violations remain or desist at 80 MW the analysis will
increase or decrease the ITC accordingly to 40 MW or 120 MW. This process is repeated until
and ITC is calculated
In this example, regardless of whether the extra demand was supplied from Dublin,
Northern Ireland or the south, an outage of the Ardnacrusha-Ennis 110 kV line during the
maintenance outage of the Drumline-Ardnacrusha 110 kV line would result in an under
voltage problem at Drumline 110 kV busbar when the demand at Ennis was increased by
60 MW. This was therefore the limit of additional demand permissible at Ennis taking
account of under voltage standards.
The network was next tested against overload standards with the 60 MW of additional
demand modelled at Ennis. All possible circuit and generator outage combinations were
simulated and voltages checked. The analysis showed that the system remained within
standards with the additional demand connected at Ennis. As such, the limit of additional
demand

at
