LSP Project List The LSP Project List is a cumulative listing of proposed regulated transmission solutions that may meet LSP needs Lower voltage facilities contained in the LSP Project List pertain to facilities supplying our wholesale municipal customers The LSP Project List contains the status of each project: Concept Proposed Planned Under Construction In Service 4
LSP Project List Definitions Project Status Descriptions (may vary slightly from RSP definitions) Concept Project is under consideration as possible solution to a need, but little or no analysis is available Proposed National Grid has internally determined that the project is an appropriate solution to a need, but has not yet obtained Proposed Plan Approval (PPA) from ISO-NE (1.3.9 ISO-NE approval) Planned PPA has been approved (if required) and has internal approval. Under Project has PPA approval and has internal approval. Construction In Service Project is complete 5

2012 Study Example – Sandy Pond Tertiary Removal Project – Ayer, MA Place your chosen image here. The four corners must just cover the arrow tips. For covers, the three pictures should be the same size and in a straight line. Project Example – Sandy Pond Tertiary Removal Project – Ayer, MA
Needs Assessment The tertiary winding of the 345/115/23 kV 448 MVA autotransformer T2 at Sandy Pond #236 substation supplies approximately 21 MW of sub-transmission load – summer peak. Two autotransformers at Sandy Pond/West Farnum substations supplying sub-transmission feeders through their tertiary windings experienced significant faults and outages due to faults on the sub-transmission system served off the tertiary windings. Both transformers required replacement on an emergency basis. In summer 2000, Sandy Pond T2 failed due to faults on the sub- transmission system. T2 was immediately taken out of service and replaced with the existing spare transformer. National Grid undertook analysis to determine the best course of action to prevent failure of the new transformer T2. 21
Alternative 1 (preferred solution) – Install a 115/23 kV transformer Remove 23 kV load from existing transformer Install 115/23 kV 24/32/40 MVA-rated transformer at Sandy Pond Install new 115 kV and 23 kV breakers and associated control equipment, expand control house Expected cost $4.3m (+50%, -25%) 22
Alternative 2 – Construct New 115/13.2 kV Substation Construct new 115/13.2 kV substation on National Grid-owned land in Chelmsford, MA Install two 33/44/55 MVA- rated 115/13.2 kV transformers at proposed Turnpike Road substation Tap the 115 kV L-138E and I-161 lines to supply each transformer Install 115 kV 40 kA circuit switchers for transformer protection Install 115 kV in-line sectionalizing Expected cost $10.4m 23
Alternative 3 – 2 nd Spare Auto Buy additional spare 345/115/23 kV 448 MVA autotransformer Delivery lead time for a new T2 autotransformer is ~18 months or more Approximate cost of a new T2 is $3.7m. (Installation of the new spare inside Sandy Pond substation is not included in this estimate.) Replacement still leaves the possibility of outages and damage due to distribution system faults Replacement time = outages of approximately 2 weeks 24
Preferred Solution Assessment Alternative 1 chosen as the preferred solution since it provides: Elimination of problem – removes 23 kV sub-transmission load from transformer tertiary winding Most economical – Spare autotransformer cost does not include installation costs When combined with the Sandy Pond control house replacement project, costs savings are possible 25
