FLORIDA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION DOCKET NO. 140110-EI

DIRECT TESTIMONY OF JOHN L. SIMPSON, P.E.

1 I. INTRODUCTION AND QUALIFICATIONS

2 Q. Please state your name, employer, and business address.

3 A. My name is John Simpson and I am self-employed as a Transmission Engineering

4 Consultant. My business address is 40318 Colfax Road, Magnolia, Texas 77354.

5

6 Q. On whose behalf are you testifying?

7 A. I am testifying on behalf of Calpine Construction Finance Company, L.P ., a

8 subsidiary of Calpine Corporation, (collectively "Calpine") in support of its

9 intervention in this docket, which addresses Duke Energy Florida's ("DEF") Petition

10 for Determination of Need for Citrus County Combined Cycle Power Plant. Calpine

11 owns and operates the Osprey Energy Center ("Osprey" or the "Osprey Facility''),

12 which is located in Auburndale, Florida.

13

14 Q. Please summarize your educational background and your employment

15 experience. 1 1 A. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering from the

2 University of Colorado in 1972. I began my career with the Public Service Company

3 of Colorado where I held various engineering and engineering supervisory positions

4 of increasing importance in electric utility generation and substation engineering. I

5 then joined Florida Power Corporation ("FPC") in 1985 where I held various

6 engineering management positions of increasing responsibility, serving for over six

7 years as the Manager of Transmission Design where I was responsible for the overall

8 project activities for the engineering, design, permitting, right-of-way acquisition,

9 material procurement, and construction specifications for new transmission lines and

10 modifications to existing transmission lines on the FPC system. I then served for

11 over four years as the Director of System Planning where I was responsible for the

12 planning of all transmission, substation, and major distribution facility additions on

13 the FPC System. In that role, I was also responsible for administration of FPC's

14 open access transmission tariff. In November 1999, I joined Reliant Energy where I

15 served as the Director of Transmission Analysis. In this role, I was responsible for

16 the transmission analysis activities required to support the trading, power origination,

17 and generation development functions of Reliant Energy and its successor

18 companies, RRI Energy and GenOn Energy, in the development, operation, and

19 management of their merchant generation fleet throughout the . In

20 April 2011, I began working as an independent transmission consultant for various

21 merchant electric generators, including Calpine. In this role I provide transmission

22 expertise related to generator interconnection and transmission access issues. I

2 1 currently represent Calpine on the Florida Reliability Coordinating Council

2 ("FRCC") Planning Committee, Operating Committee, and Regional Entity

3 Committee and Compliance Forum.

4 I am a Registered Professional Engineer in the states of Colorado and Florida.

12 II. PURPOSE AND SUMMARY OF TESTIMONY

13 Q. What is the purpose of your testimony in this proceeding?

14 A. The purpose of my testimony is to provide an overview of the transmission system

15 impacts and issues related to the opportunities for Calpine's Osprey Facility to

16 deliver energy and capacity to the DEF Balancing Authority Area ("BAA") in the

17 2016 to 2019 and beyond time period.

18

19 Q. Please summarize your testimony.

20 A. Calpine's Osprey Facility is well positioned to deliver energy and capacity to the

21 DEF BAA as a replacement or substitute for the Suwannee simple cycle peaking

22 units ("Suwannee CTs" or "Suwannee Peakers") that DEF proposes in this

3 1 proceeding to add in 2016 and the Hines Chiller upgrades ("Hines Chillers") that

2 DEF proposes to add in 2017. In addition, Osprey provides a unique opportunity to

3 complete a cost effective direct connection to the DEF transmission system by

4 January 1, 2020, and possibly as early as the summer of 2017, to support a purchase

5 option offered by Calpine. The direct connection to the DEF transmission system

6 will not only fully integrate the Osprey generation into the DEF system, but will also

7 provide ancillary transmission system benefits by creating a southern tie between the

8 two largest load centers on the DEF system, the Florida Suncoast area (Pinellas,

9 Pasco and Hernando Counties) and the Central Florida area (Orange, Osceola, and

10 Seminole Counties), thus enhancing load and generation deliverability between these

11 two areas.

12

13 Q. What is your understanding of the Osprey Facility and the proposals by which

14 Osprey's capacity and energy would be delivered into the DEF balancing

15 authority area?

16 A. I understand that Osprey is a nominal599 MW, 2-on-1 natural gas fired combined­

17 cycle facility located in Auburndale, Florida, that began commercial operation in

18 2004. Osprey can provide 515 MW of electric capacity.

4 1 I further understand that Calpine has offered to provide 515 MW of capacity and

2 energy to DEF from 2015 through 2019 pursuant to the proposed terms of a power

3 purchase agreement ("PP A"), and that, as part of its proposals, Calpine has offered to

4 sell Duke the Osprey Facility outright at the end of the PPA term, i.e., on January 1,

5 2020. I understand that Calpine participated in a 2012 Request for Proposals

6 ("RFP") conducted by Progress Energy Florida, which is now DEF, in which DEF

7 sought proposals to meet its needs before 2018, and further that Calpine was selected

8 for negotiations toward a PPA, although no PPA was ever executed.

9

10 Ill. TRANSMISSION ANALYSIS OF OSPREY DELIVERING TO DEF BAA

11 Q. Please describe Osprey's use of the transmission system.

12 A. The Osprey Facility was placed in commercial operation in 2004. It is

13 interconnected to the Tampa Electric Company {"TEC") transmission system at the

14 Recker 230 kV substation. ("TEC" is the common abbreviation for Tampa Electric

15 Company in the FRCC and Florida transmission documents.) Since its construction,

16 the Osprey Facility has delivered energy and capacity to DEF, TEC, and Seminole

17 Electric Cooperative ("SEC" or "Seminole"). Calpine Energy Services, an affiliate

18 of Calpine, has purchased Firm Point to Point ("PTP") transmission service from

19 TEC for deliveries from the Osprey Facility to both the DEF and Florida Power &

20 Light ("FPL") BAAs. From 2009 to 2014, most of the Osprey Facility's capacity

21 and energy were sold to Seminole pursuant to a long-term PPA and, during this

22 period, the Osprey Facility was designated as a Network Resource to serve SEC

2 Units 1 and 2, with Crystal River Unit 3 already retired. This study, titled FRCC's

3 Evaluation ofTransmission Impact ofthe EPA's Mercury and Air Toxics Standard

4 ("MATS") (Transmission Impact Study for Shutdown of Crystal River Units 1 & 2,

5 with retirement of Crystal River Unit 3), is commonly called the "MATS Study" and

6 has been provided as Exhibit ES-1 to the Direct Testimony of Ed Scott in this

7 docket. The MATS Study showed that significant transmission issues would be

8 created by the loss of such a large quantity of generation at the Crystal River site that

9 then had to be replaced by dispatching other DEF resources within FRCC. Many of

10 these transmission issues did not have a solution, or a solution could not be

11 implemented within the time frame required if Crystal River Units 1 and 2 were shut

12 down in April201 5 as required by the MATS regulation. For this reason, DEF was

13 granted an extension for compliance with the MATS regulation until April2016.

14 DEF has subsequently developed a plan to allow Crystal River Units 1 and 2 to

15 continue operation in compliance with the MATS regulation until summer of2018,

16 thereby providing additional time to replace this capacity or implement transmission

17 solutions to the problems caused by their retirement. The plan developed by DEF

18 would actually allow Crystal River Units 1 and 2 to operate through 2020 should

19 DEF encounter delays or find it advantageous to delay replacing that capacity or

20 implementing transmission solutions.

21

7 1 Q. Have you evaluated Osprey's ability to deliver to DEF as a resource to replace

2 the planned additions at Suwannee and Hines?

3 A. Yes. As I mentioned previously, the retirements of Crystal River Units 1, 2, and 3

4 create significant issues on the FRCC transmission grid. However, if Crystal River

5 Units 1 and 2 continue to operate through 2016 and 2017, as now planned by DEF,

6 the deliverability of Osprey is much improved. I stated earlier that Calpine currently

7 holds the rights to 249 MW of Firm PTP Transmission from Osprey to DEF. This

8 service can be provided with no required upgrades on the TEC system. Calpine's

9 current offer to DEF for energy and capacity from Osprey is for 515 MW with the

10 249 MW of Firm PTP Transmission Service included. This guarantees the delivery

11 of249 MW of energy and capacity from Osprey to DEF. Additional transmission

12 service will need to be purchased from TEC for the delivery of additional energy and

13 capacity from Osprey.

14

15 Q. What were the results of your evaluation of Osprey's ability to replace the

16 planned additions at Suwannee and Hines?

17 A. With the support of Calpine's Transmission Department, I modeled the ability of

18 Osprey to replace the addition of the Suwannee CTs (334 MW) in 2016 and the

19 installation ofthe Hines Chillers (220 MW) in 2017. During the summer of2016,

20 with Osprey delivering 334 MW to the DEF BAA to replace the capacity of the new

21 CTs at Suwannee, minor 69 kV issues were found under double contingency outages

22 on the TEC system. From previous studies and solutions proposed by TEC, I believe

8 1 all of these issues can be resolved through operating procedures by TEC. One 115

2 kV overload was found on the DEF system (on the Baker Tap to Miccosukee Tap

3 line), also under a double contingency line outage. However, this overload already

4 has an operating procedure that DEF currently uses to alleviate the overload under

5 this contingency.

6 During the summer of2017, with Osprey delivering 515 MW to the DEF BAA to

7 replace both the new Suwannee CTs and the Hines Chillers, a few additional

8 constraints were identified on the TEC system along with the overload of the Griffin

9 to Morgan Road 115 kV line on the DEF system. Again, the issues on the TEC

10 system should be resolved through operating procedures and/or redispatch ofTEC

11 resources. If minor construction to resolve 69 kV overloads is required, this can be

12 completed in time to allow the transmission service to proceed and the cost of those

13 upgrades would be rolled in to the transmission rate charged by TEC for the

14 transmission service. The Griffin to Morgan Road overload on the DEF system

15 would occur under a double line outage on the DEF system. DEF also has an

16 existing operating solution to mitigate this overload that can be utilized for the

17 summer of2017 and beyond. lfDEF exercises the purchase option offered by

18 Calpine, a different long term solution can be put in place to mitigate all overloads

19 caused by Osprey delivering to DEF.

20

21 Q. Please describe or give some examples of what you mean by "operating

22 solutions" or "redispatch solutions."

9 1 A. Often a transmission overload does not warrant the construction of new facilities to

2 eliminate its occurrence. This can be due to a number of reasons. For example, the

3 overload can be very minor, or the probability of the causing events may be very

4 low, such as a double contingency, or the cost of the new construction can be so high

5 that it would not make economic sense to have customers pay for new construction

6 to alleviate an overload that only occurs on rare occasions. In these instances, if the

7 overload occurs, the utility must still meet the required NERC reliability standard

8 requirements, so an "operating solution" is sought that will eliminate the overload

9 and allow all facilities to return to their planned operating limits. The operating

10 solution generally involves switching (i.e., opening and closing electrical breakers or

11 switches on) the transmission system to reconfigure the system and redistribute

12 transmission flows to eliminate the overload condition. The operating solution can

13 also involve the redispatch of generation, that is, raising some generation output and

14 lowering other generation. This is called a "redispatch solution" and it also changes

15 the flow distribution on the transmission system. Generally an operating solution

16 will include the most economic combination of switching and redispatch required to

17 eliminate the overload condition.

18

19 Q. Do other utilities in Florida use operating and/or redispatch solutions to control

20 overloads on their systems?

21 A. Yes. All utilities in Florida use operating and redispatch solutions to control

22 overloads where possible on their systems. Their use results in lower total costs for

10 1 customers in the state and is a very prudent action by the utilities. DEF makes

2 extensive use of operating procedures and redispatch solutions on their system.

3

4 Q. Is Osprey limited to delivering only 249 MW of energy and capacity to the DEF

5 BAA during all hours of a year?

6 A. No. During most hours of the year, Osprey can deliver up to the full 515 MW as

7 proposed by Calpine's offer. It is only during certain specific conditions during the

8 year, such as the peak load hours of the year, that Osprey is limited on the amount of

9 energy and capacity that can be delivered without the use of operating procedures

10 and/or redispatch of other DEF or TEC resources. When a request for finn PTP

11 transmission service is made to a Transmission Service Provider, a study is

12 completed under the most limiting conditions for granting the requested service.

13 Generally this is during the summer and winter peak load conditions. In addition,

14 certain sensitivities, which would include adverse conditions for providing the

15 service, are studied. If any limitation is found for granting the service, even if for

16 only one hour of the year, and the limitation cannot be mitigated by either an

17 operating solution or construction of new facilities, then the requested service is

18 denied. Generally, these limiting conditions only exist during the very peak load

19 hours of each year or during certain stressed dispatch conditions. Outside of these

20 very peak load hours, or under more normal dispatch conditions, additional energy

21 and capacity can be delivered. This is the case for Osprey delivering to the DEF

22 BAA. My evaluation of Osprey's ability to deliver energy and capacity to the DEF

11 1 BAA shows that with the use of operating procedures and/or redispatch solutions,

2 and some possible minor 69 kV upgrades on the TEC system for double contingency

3 outages, Osprey should be able to deliver 515 MW of capacity to DEF as a

4 replacement for the Suwannee CTs and the Hines Chillers until January 1, 2020, the

5 end of the PPA term offered by Calpine. After January 1, 2020, a long-term solution

6 needs to be completed to avoid additional transmission constraints that begin to

7 appear in the summer of 2020.

8

9 Q. What is the long-term solution for Osprey to deliver to DEF?

10 A. The long-term solution for Osprey is a direct connection of the plant to the DEF

11 transmission system. This solution was evaluated by DEF as part of the asset

12 purchase evaluation of Osprey and is summarized in Ed Scott's testimony in Docket

13 No. 140111-EI, the docket that addresses DEF's Petition for Determination of Cost

14 Effective Generation Alternative to Meet Need Prior to 2018. This solution involves

15 the construction of two new 230 kV lines from the Recker Substation to the DEF

16 system. One line would be constructed from Recker to Duke's existing Kathleen

17 Substation and the other line would be constructed from Recker to Duke's existing

18 Haines City East Substation. According to Ed Scott's testimony, these lines and the

19 new connection to DEF resolve not only the overloads on the DEF system, but also

20 all of the overloads identified on the TEC system and the overloads identified on

21 third party systems in FRCC.

I I In In 1 A. The TEC study that DEF's witness Ed Scott cited in Exhibit ES-3 to his direct

2 testimony in Docket No. 140111-EI was done for transmission service starting in

3 summer 2018 and continuing through the planning horizon. Since this covers a

4 longer period and has to resolve overloads that show up in the later years, additional

5 upgrades are required in those later years to mitigate all of the issues identified in the

6 study. In addition, this study was completed with a smaller size combined cycle

7 installation at Citrus County and the generation at Osprey further reduced the

8 capacity installation at Citrus County. TEC did not study an additional 266 MW of

9 transmission service from Osprey to DEF starting in summer of2016. The scenario I

10 have laid out in this testimony calls for Osprey to directly replace the Suwannee CTs

11 in 2016 and the Hines Chillers in 2017. With the construction of a new direct

12 connection of Osprey to the DEF transmission system, it is my opinion that the total

13 cost of all required transmission upgrades to the FRCC grid through the planning

14 horizon is no more than $150 million.

15

16 Q. Did DEF evaluate this scenario in its evaluation of alternative supply-side

17 generation proposals to their self-build generation options?

18 A. No. To the best of my knowledge, from reviewing the testimony and submittals in

19 these dockets, DEF did not evaluate an option of Osprey replacing the Suwannee

20 CTs and the Hines Chillers through a PPA in 2015 followed by an asset purchase and

21 a direct connection to the DEF system by 2020.

22

15 1 Q. Does the direct connection of Osprey to DEF provide any additional benefits to

2 the transmission system?

3 A. Yes. To understand this, one needs to look at the design ofthe DEF transmission

4 system. The 500 kV system on DEF consists of two radial lines, one starting at

5 DEF's Crystal River station and running to the south, through Brookridge Substation

6 and terminating at Lake Tarpon, and the other starting at Crystal River and running

7 east, then south, through DEF's Central Florida Substation and terminating at

8 Kathleen. An additional500 kV line connecting the two ends ofthese circuits was

9 originally planned to be constructed, creating a loop for the 500 kV system, but this

10 project was abandoned in the 1990's due to escalating easement and right-of-way

11 acquisition costs. DEF has two major load centers, one being the Florida Suncoast

12 area (Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando Counties) and the other being the Central Florida

13 area (Orange, Osceola, and Seminole Counties). The only significant transmission

14 connections between these two load centers are through 230 kV connections on the

15 far northern end of the Central Florida area to Central Florida Substation and then

16 following the 500 kV lines through Crystal River and down to Lake Tarpon

17 Substation. There is very limited transmission capability south out of Kathleen

18 Substation back to the Florida Suncoast area due to a single 115 kV DEF line from

19 Griffin to Higgins. This is an old line that was never intended to carry bulk power

20 transfers between the radial ends of the 500 kV system. The Morgan Road

21 Substation is planned to be added in this line in 2017. By directly connecting the

22 Osprey Facility to the DEF transmission system through a 230 kV line from Recker

16 1 to Kathleen and then from Recker to Haines City East, a southern 230 kV tie on the

2 DEF transmission system is created between the two load centers. This will increase

3 the reliability of the DEF transmission system and improve the deliverability ofDEF

4 generation to DEF load.

5

6 Q. Has DEF recognized this transmission reliability benefit in the analysis of a

7 direct connection of Osprey to the DEF transmission system?

8 A. DEF mentioned this reliability benefit in the written testimony of Ed Scott, Scott

9 Exhibit ES-3 at page 2 of 4, however no monetary value was placed on this

10 transmission benefit.

11

12 Q. Are there any other transmission reliability benefits that the new CTs at

13 Suwannee would provide to the DEF transmission system?

14 A. Yes, there may be a need for additional reactive supply and voltage support in the

15 Suwannee area that would be provided by the new Suwannee CTs. This may be

16 especially true ifDEF retires the existing Suwannee steam units in 2018 as noted in

17 the 2014 Ten Year Site Plan.

18

19 Q. If DEF uses Osprey to replace the planned capacity of the Suwannee CTs, are

20 there other cost effective options for providing this reactive supply or voltage

21 support?
