ASM-STR-A2281256 Versin: 2.0 Equipment Strategy fr Pst Type High Vltage Current Transfrmers and 1.5 Mnitring and cmpliance This equipment strategy guides the develpment f the technical specificatin. The success is mnitred thrugh regulatry infrmatin ntice, annual reprting and SAP recrds review f installed equipment. The success f this strategy is measured by mnitring life cycle csts assciated with this equipment as well as availability and service histry. The minimum recrds required are: Technical specificatin Tender evaluatin reprt Perid cntract Purchase rders SAP equipment recrds Operatin and Manufacturer Manual Nameplate details 1.6 Risk management The risks cnsidered in the develpment f this strategy are: Netwrk Operatins Risk risk related t the increased prbability f netwrk utages and their impact n custmers and stakehlders. Safety Risk risk assciated with the malfunctin f current transfrmers r metering units resulting in the prlnged r lack f prtectin peratin expsing persnnel and public t fault cnditins this can result in serius injuries and fatalities due t electrcutin. There is a safety risk t persnnel assciated with catastrphic failures f current transfrmers and metering units. Envirnmental Risk related t gas r il leaks. Cmpliance risk assciated with nn-cmpliance f accuracy requirements as set up by Natinal Electricity Rules. Financial and Cntractual Risk risk assciated with the inability t make warranty claims, request access t adequate technical supprt and spares, increased maintenance csts, and additinal capital investment csts. 2. Strategy The visin f the Strategy and Planning Grup and the prcurement manual drives equipment strategy dcuments. The main features f the visin fr pst type high vltage current transfrmers and metering units are as fllws: General Annual Operatin and Maintenance cst less than 0.5% f the asset value. Availability and reliability t meet netwrk requirement. Apprpriate mnitring and remte interrgatin facilities t allw maintenance staff t ptimise site visits. Standard variants t cver peratinal requirements. Current versin: 20/06/2018 EXTERNAL USE Page 4 f 6 Next revisin due: 20/06/2023 HARDCOPY IS UNCONTROLLED Pwerlink Queensland
ASM-STR-A2281256 Versin: 2.0 Equipment Strategy fr Pst Type High Vltage Current Transfrmers and Current transfrmers and metering units have t be tested by NATA certified labratry r by facilities accredited t ISO/IEC 17025 and have mutual recgnitin thrugh ILAC r APLAC. Minimal site assembly and installatin time. Evaluatin and assessment thrugh Life Cycle Cst Analysis (LCCA) Equipment shall be designed and cnstructed, packaged and transprted t withstand transprt shcks, and t ensure and demnstrate the equipment is delivered in gd cnditin. Only units using gas as main insulatin medium shall be cnsidered. The manufacturer s ability t be able t prvide supprt fr the whle f life f the current transfrmer and metering unit including the ability t install, cmmissin and service it, perfrm failure rt cause analysis, prvide detailed wrk instructins, supervise r perfrm repairs as well as hlding the spares required t supprt the vltage transfrmer acrss the 40 year life will be well regarded. Maintenance Minimal maintenance requirement: Safety and Envirnmental Minimal rutine inspectins, n mre than nce a year. Lng service intervals, being at least 12 years between services. Services shuld be nn-intrusive as far as pssible and achieved while the equipment is in peratin. Enables additin f nline cnditin mnitring. Prvisin fr gas sampling. Prvisins t allw use f mdern accuracy testing methds. The risk f explsive failure is t be kept lw, s far as is reasnably practicable. Failure mdes shuld be nn-life threatening and as safe as reasnably practicable fr persnnel wrking in the yard. The design f the unit allws fr safe and envirnmentally apprpriate dispsal. Minimum leakage rates t meet r exceed envirnment standards and reduce peratinal csts. Prcelain shall nt be a part f the cnstructin, nn-ceramic insulatrs nly. Oil shall nt be part f the cnstructin. Gas used in equipment shuld be recyclable and/r recverable. Minimal leakage rates f insulating gas with the aim f being less than 0.1% per annum, with a maximum guaranteed f less than 0.5% per annum. 2.1 Prjected use f equipment All pst type high vltage current transfrmer and metering units t be purchased will be used fr prtectin and metering f transmissin lines, transfrmers, generatrs, capacitrs/reactrs, SVCs r fr bus-cupling. 2.2 Technlgies available nw At the present, there are il filled and gas (SF6) insulated current transfrmers in the Pwerlink netwrk as well as a number f SF6 insulated metering units. There is a mix f prcelain hused and nn-ceramic hused units. Nn-Cnventinal Instrument transfrmers (NCIT) are yet t be cnsidered a cmmercially viable slutin fr Pwerlink.
