1. INTRODUCTION

The Marble River collector substation is being constructed for the Horizon Wind Energy
Marble River Wind Farm which consists of 73 wind turbine generators (WTGs) each with a
nominal rating of 3.0MW for a total generation capacity of 219MW. TRC is providing
protective relay settings for the collector substation. Guidance for the protective relay
settings, substation control and automation, as well as arc flash studies are provided by
POWER Engineers, Inc. This document provides the criteria used by TRC to complete the
relay settings.

CRITICAL NOTES AND ASSUMPTIONS

2.1

POWER Engineers supplied a settings guide, Marble River Protective Relaying

Functional Descriptions Revision 0, which was used where applicable in the
completion of the collection system relay settings. This document is located in the
Appendix for reference.

2.2

All impedance and short circuit contribution information in the supplied short circuit
model used for calculating relay settings is based on Horizon/EDPR information supplied
to the date of this document. All calculations for the system short circuit model are
located in the Appendix for reference.

2.3

Proper coordination of protective devices may not have been achieved to be able to
protect collector substation equipment. These instances are documented in the settings
calculations.

2.4

All protective equipment for T2 and the 230kV system are located in the point of
interconnection station operated by NYPA, Patnode Substation, and are excluded from
this document. Overcurrent protection is provided by the following relays to the 34.5kV
collector substation: 87TBP/T2, 87TP/T2 & 87TS/T2.

2.5

Capacitor Banks C1-C3 have been removed from the design of the collector substation
and therefore no documentation of protective devices is provided.
