EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This System Impact Study (SIS) is conducted for the 20 MW Murcia Solar Project of
PH Solar Advance Corp. (PSAC) in Blumentritt, Murcia City, Negros Occidental.
This project will utilize 20 units of 1 MVA grid-tied inverters. The proposed
connection for this project is a tapped connection along Bacolod-NNGPP 138 kV line.
This study was performed in accordance with the Philippines Grid Code (PGC) andNGCP requirements. The purposes of this study are as follows:
1. Analyze the steady-state, stability, and short circuit conditions of the grid with
the project;
2.
Determine any upgrades to the transmission system that would be required to
mitigate any adverse impacts that the project could otherwise pose on thereliability and operating characteristics of the transmission system in
accordance with the PGC, NGCP standards and generally accepted
international transmission utility practices;
3. Determine any upgrades required to mitigate any degradation to transmission
transfer capability; and
4.
Determine any upgrades required to mitigate any degradation to system
dynamic stability.
The primary area of concern of this study is the area around NGCP’s Bacolod
Substation. Generated power from the proposed power plant will be transmitted to
Visayas grid through this substation.
In addition to the standard requirements of the PGC, the ERC had issued Resolution
No. 7 Series of 2013 imposing new requirements for intermittent power plants such as
this project. This proposed power plant should comply with those requirements,

The project currently has a 120 MW capacity endorsed by the Department of Energy
(DOE) over phases. The developers have since identified suitable land sites and havemade the requisite arrangements with the landowners for long-term leases. Various
irradiation, flood, topography and soil studies have already been conducted with
positive results. In addition many of the local and national approvals and permits
have since been obtained including local LGU endorsements. Technical layouts and
routing plans have also been identified and secured.
Currently there might be some “anticipated constraint” in the submarine
interconnection between Negros and Cebu islands due to various projects being
planned for but many of which may not get implemented. In light of this ‘constraint”
the capacity of the project was reduced to 20 MW for this current phase for ease of
implementation.
This project has been developed and structured to allow for a quick expansion of
another 40 MW in Phase II. The key milestone for this expansion would be the
alleviation of the potential congestion along the Cebu-Panay submarine cable. This
alleviation would be evident when either the submarine cable is reinforced or when the
various other projects included in the base data is formally terminated.
In December 2014, Italy's Prysmian was awarded this US$111 million project by the
NGCP for the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of a submarine power
cable link to connect Negros and Panay islands in the Philippines. The submarine
cable link will back up the existing 138 kV oil filled cable circuit, which is currently
the only connection among the islands. CNP-1 comprises of three HVAC (High Voltage
Alternating Current) 230 kV single core cables with XLPE insulation and single wire
armouring along a 22 km submarine route across the Guimaras Strait. Delivery andcommissioning is scheduled for the first half of 2016. Phase II (40MW) of the solar
plant will be implemented after CNP-1 is commissioned.
In addition, in April 2015 NGCP announced plans to invest P1.6 billion to upgrade a

S TEADY S TATE
Steady state thermal and voltage analyses were conducted to examine the comparative
system performance with and without the proposed project. The baseline performance
is based on the system without the proposed project. System performance was re-
evaluated with the project and compared with the baseline system. This approach
exposes the impact of the project on the system utilizing the criteria set by the PGC.
Steady state analysis was evaluated using a scenario where power plants at close
proximity to the project were dispatched to its maximum feasible levels for years 2016
and 2021. Peak load for 2016 and 2021 were respectively, 1,854.8
MW and 2,279.8
MW. Simulation at this dispatch scenario enabled the examination of the transmission
system to reliably operate with the proposed project integrated to the system.
Based on the steady state results the project’s connection to the grid poses nosignificant adverse impact on the reliability and operating characteristics of Visayas
grid. There was no significant voltage or thermal violations of reliability criteria
associated with the entry of the project considering its priority dispatch incentive
under the RE Law

In all tested fault conditions the project would pose no significant adverse impact on
the stability of the system.
F REQUENCY ASSESSMENT
Frequency assessment showed that the system frequency will not drop as low as 59.4
Hz with the outage of the proposed power plant. Automatic Load Dropping is notexpected during this loss-of-generation scenario.
S HORT C IRCUIT
Short-circuit analysis was conducted to determine the impact of the project on the
existing fault current levels in all substations. In this study, it was assumed that fault
duty of the circuit breakers installed in the system are as follows:
Simulation results indicate that the entry of the proposed project will not result to
fault levels beyond the fault duties of the existing circuit breakers.

1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
PH Solar Advance Corp (PSAC) is a wholly owned Filipino corporation and was set
up to fully focus on developing the Philippine Solar market. The founder, Ms. Maricel
Montfort, a highly successful native of Cadiz and currently residing in Bacolod and
Manila, is a long-standing citizen who has had an extensive working experience abroad
and has returned back to the Philippines to take an active part in improving the lives
of the local Filipinos through various infrastructure projects. Ms. Montfort is
currently active with several large infrastructure and social developments throughout
the Philippines. These include medical facilities, orphanages, water-
treatment/purification projects and land & property investments. Being a very
successful business lady, she is able to fully fund the professional and properdevelopment of these projects.
PSAC has identified Murcia City as a suitable site for the solar power project. Murcia
has a stable climate with adequate sunlight throughout the year and minimal risk of
heavy typhoons or flooding. Land is plentiful and the local government agencies are
supportive of such an initiative. Murcia currently has no power generation facilities
and all power is supplied from NGCP. It is an initiative welcome in the area.
PSAC has been actively developing the project for the last 6 months and focused on
securing the right land location and negotiating with the landowners to ensure terms
and conditions and commercially viable for the project. PSAC has actively engaged
the local LGU's and have planned for CSR activities for the area once the project
moves ahead.
For the land status the following were already accomplished:
a ) Identified and secured approximately 90h with the landowners Many of the
8/17/2019 Sis Psac Murcia 20 Mw (3)
10/116
line has the capacity for this solar plant. The Bacolod NGCP substation is less
than 2 km away and suitable evacuation plan have been developed.
c.) PSAC has engaged professionals to conduct
• Irradiation Studies
• Flood studies
•
Topographical surveys• Soil Studies
• Connection routing and
• Plant layout design
The site has ideal road access and is relatively flat with little flood risk. The
lands will not inconvenience any inhabitants. The landlords have committedto ensure the site will be problem free.
d.) The lands identified are outside the CARP jurisdiction and have obtained
proper legal advice as well as advice from the local LGU's on the proper
procedure to ensure that the site is solar ready.
e.) The land titles have also been checked for any risk of foreclosure or
encumbrances being attached.
f.) PSAC has also ensured that there are no sensitive or endangered trees on the
site and will not need any special approval or process.
Given the extent of the development already completed and other activities ongoing,
PSAC aims to begin construction of the plant in Q2 2015 with a physical completion
8/17/2019 Sis Psac Murcia 20 Mw (3)

This project proposes to connect to the grid through a tapped connection along
Bacolod- NNGPP 138 kV transmission line. This line is a portion of the 138 kV line
originating from Bacolod Substation to the Northern Negros Geothermal Power Plant.
With a total length of 25.5 km this line is owned by Enegy Development Corporation
(EDC).
The proposed tapping connection would involve construction of approximately 800 m
138 kV transmission line and a take-off substation at the power plant site. Conductors
for this line should be 795 MCM ACSR equipped with appropriate communication
facility to convey revenue meter reading to NGCP’s Bacolod Substation.

STUDY ASSUMPTIONS
A. DEMAND FORECAST
Based on the 2013 Transmission Development Plan (TDP), there would relatively be
a significant increase in demand in Visayas Grid. Table 1 shows the demand
projections for the entire grid. Of greater interest for this proposed project is the
demand in Negros Island where the proposed facility will be injecting its power to the
grid. Bacolod Substation will be the main corridor of this project.

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

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

Generating Limit Power Output
The proposed power plant should continuously supply active and reactive power
depending on the availability of primary source within the frequency range of 59.7-
60.3 Hz. It should be capable of interchanging reactive power at connection point
within ±5% voltage variation. Outside this range and up to ±10% voltage variation,
a reduction in active and/or reactive power may be allowed up to 5% of the generator’s
declared data.

The grid model or base cases used in this study for years 2016 and 2021 were provided
by NGCP. Both base cases were derived from the Transmission Development Plan
and considered transmission line and generator expansion plans for the period covered.
The scenario represented was peak loading condition, maximizing dispatch of power
plants in the vicinity of the project. Off-peak scenarios were not considered in the
assessment since the proposed power plant is not expected to operate during off-peak.
To reflect the priority dispatch scenario in the model, dispatch of conventional
synchronous machines in Negros area were slightly reduced. In actual application,
these conventional plants’ dispatch will vary due to the intermittence of the proposed

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

6. STABILITY ASSESSMENT
Stability analysis assessed the impact of the project to the transient stability
performance of the grid. The analysis was based on the assumptions and methodology
described in the previous sections. The stability plots are included in the Appendices.
The 3-phase faults were applied on transmission line segments followed by
tripping/outage of the segments at normal and delayed clearing times.
The segments where faults were applied are as follows:
1. Fault at Solar Hi-Bacolod 138 kV Line with Tripping
2. Fault at Bacolod-EBMAG1 138 kV Line with Tripping
3.
Fault at Bacolod-EBMAG2 138 kV Line with Tripping4. Fault at Bacolod-Kabankalan 138 kV Line with Tripping
5. Fault at Bacolod 138/69 kV Transformer (T2) with Tripping
6.

In general, the results of the simulation indicated acceptable response of the system
parameters with the proposed facility integrated, damping mostly within the first ten
(10) seconds after the application of fault.
The summary of dynamic stability simulations is shown in Table 20.

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

8. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
This study was conducted to assess the impact of the proposed 20 MW Murcia Solar
Project on the reliability, stability and operating characteristics of the Visayas Grid.
Steady state, stability and short-circuit conditions were analyzed. Proposed
connection for this project is a “tapped” connection along Bacolod-NNGPP 138 kV
transmission line.
Steady state assessment with the project in-service showed no significant voltage or
thermal violations of reliability criteria. Considering the priority dispatch of
intermittent RE Generators, thermal loading of elements in the grid will remain within
PGC required limits.
Short circuit analyses concluded that the project did not alter adversely the short
circuit duties of the baseline system.
Transient stability assessment simulated a set of faults. None of the faults tested
showed unstable response of the system with the project integrated.
Frequency assessment showed that the system frequency will not drop as low as 59.4
Hz with the outage of the proposed power plant. Automatic Load Dropping is not
expected during this loss-of-generation scenario.
As a general conclusion, this System Impact Study revealed that the addition of
PHSAC’s Phase I, the 20 MW Murcia Solar Power Project has no significant impact
on the reliability, stability and operating characteristics of the Visayas power
transmission system.
The proposed power plant could be safely and reliably integrated to Visayas grid.
Phase II 40MW of PHSAC project will be implemented once CNP-1 is commissioned
