Introduction Coylton substation is situated in the south west of Scotland approximately 12km East of Ayrshire town. The substation connects both a significant level of embedded generation but connects wider transmission generation in the south west Scotland area. In order to facilitate the generation connected and contracted at Maybole and Coylton 132kV GSPs (Approximately 370MW) it is proposed to replace the existing 275/132kV 120MVA transformers with 2 x 240MVA units providing 240MVA of Firm capacity at connecting into the Coylton/Maybole GSP group. The remainder of the generation shall be managed via commercial contracts and protections schemes on a Non-Firm basis. Works proposed are scheduled for completion in 2022 in line with requirements from associated generation sites. 2.

Optioneering The options considered for this project are shown in Table 3: Option Status Reason for rejection 1 Do nothing Rejected Does not comply with legal and licence obligations 2 Coylton SGT1 and SGT2 reinforcement Proposed 3 Reconductor 132kV Kilmarnock South to Proposed Maybole/Coylton T point 4 Coylton 275/33kV GSP Proposed Table 3: Overview of Options Considered Option 2 involves replacing the Coylton SGT1 and SGT2 120MVA transformers with 240MVA units. The total cost of the works associated with this option is approximately £7.579m. Option 3 involves the reconductoring the 132kV circuit between Kilmarnock South and Maybole/Coylton T point (15km OHL and 1 km underground cable). The OHL would be replaced with LARK HTLS conductor, and the cable with 2000mm Cu XLPE. The estimated cost for these works is £8.0m. In addition for Option 3 only, the Kilmarnock South to Meadowhead 132kV circuit (12km OHL and 1km underground cable) would need to be reinforced to give a minimum summer pre-fault rating of 146MVA, which is estimated to cost a further £3.5m. The existing 275/132 kV 120MVA transformers currently are not matched for impedance as such share load unevenly resulting a total capacity of 190MVA between the two transformers. As part of these proposed works one SGT unit at Coylton 275kV substation would be replaced increasing the capacity to the full 240MVA. The cost of the proposed reinforcement is £3m. This brings the total cost of Option 3 to £14.5m. At present, Keirs Hill WF (57.6MW) and Sanquhar WF (20.7MW) are contracted with firm transmission access at Coylton GSP based on a new 275/33kV GSP with a predicted capital cost of £12m payable by the developers. Option 4 would remove the Coylton GSP generation from the Coylton/Maybole 132kV network. However, there is still ~190MW of generation contracted at Maybole GSP, and the Kilmarnock South to Maybole/Coylton T point circuit would still need reinforced to provide a minimum summer pre-fault rating of 152MVA. The cost for these works alone is estimated to be £8m. 4. Detailed Analysis Option 1 is not a viable solution, as pursuing it would result in a lack of capacity at the Coylton SGT 1 and SGT2 and in an overload on the Kilmarnock South/Maybole/Coylton 132kV circuit. Option 3, given the large number of circuits which would need to be reconductored, is the least viable from an economic perspective. Similarly, Option 4 requires reconductoring, albeit of a smaller number of Page 5 SPT20035 Issue 1 RIIO-T2 Engineering Justification Paper: SPT-RI-224 Coylton SGT1(2) Reinforcement circuits. This still gives Option 4 a large economic disadvantage. Option 2, due to the fact that only two transformers need to be replaced, is the most economically advantageous and therefore the preferred solution. Therefore, it is proposed to replace the existing Coylton SGT1(2) 120MVA transformers with 240MVA units and also replace the associated busbars, apparatus and 275kV cabling as required to match the 240MVA SGT rating. Also at Kilmarnock South, the overload tripping for CB 205 is proposed to be reconfigured to trip if there is an overload detected on the Kilmarnock South to Coylton/Maybole circuit. Although this circuit is proposed to be operated normally open at Kilmarnock South substation, this overload protection scheme permits the ESO to operate the circuit closed with protection to prevent any overloads and permit increase network flexibility. A schematic of the new system, as proposed, is shown in Figure 2: KILMARNOCK SOUTH TO HUER TO STHA 1000MVA KILT 2 To Meadowhead TORI 224 Works SGT4 KILT 1 N/O 1) Replacement of Coylton SGT1(2) with 240MVA units.

It follows, for the loss of the two 400kV infeeds to Kilmarnock South or the two 275kV infeeds to Coylton that Coylton and Maybole GSPs will be isolated, and the Kilmarnock South 132kV circuit will provide the required third supply. At Kilmarnock South, CB 205 is required to be operated ‘normally open’ to ensure the Kilmarnock South to Coylton/Maybole circuit is not overloaded under intact and outage network conditions. This is required as the generation contracted at Maybole and Coylton 132/33kV substations will flow through the lower impedance 132kV network rather than through the 275/132kV transformers at Coylton substation. Page 6 SPT20035 Issue 1 RIIO-T2 Engineering Justification Paper: SPT-RI-224 Coylton SGT1(2) Reinforcement 5. Conclusions In order to cope with the amount of generation contracted at Maybole and Coylton substations, Coylton SGT1 and SGT2 must be uprated from 120MVA to 240MVA. This will ensure that there is sufficient capacity at Coylton substation and also that the 132kV circuit from Kilmarnock South to Maybole/Coylton Tee point is not overloaded. The total cost associated with these works is £7.579m and the completion time will be by 2023, when several generators will be connected. Project Summary: Forecast Costs – £7.579m o SPT funded – £7.579m Timing of Investment – 2019/2023 Outputs: o Addition – 2 x 275/132kV 240MVA Transformers and associated protection, control and civil works. o Disposal – 2 x 275/132kV 120MVA transformers o Modification to existing Kilmarnock South 132kV Overload protection scheme. 6. Future Pathways – Net Zero Primary Economic Driver The primary driver for investment for the proposed works is the provision of connection to the generation sites. Payback Periods As the proposed scheme works are the lowest capital expenditure that also provides capacity to the generation schemes a full CBA has not been undertaken for these works. This paper has considered various capital cost options and the justification is based on the lowest cost.

He has also contributed articles to Scottish Local History, Scottish Brewing Archive and other journals. He lives near Drongan with his long-suffering partner, Joy. In 1995 he was one half of the Scottish Handicap Doubles Croquet Champions. Cover design by David McClure. 1SBN 0 9527445 9 7 THE STREET NAMES OF AYR 1 INTRODUCTION Names have an important role in our lives: names of people, names of places, and names of things. In an enclosed, small community, these names remain informal, but as the community grows, and as travel and movement become commoner, then more formalised names are required, names which will prevent confusion. Formal and informal names can exist alongside one another. During the course of preparing this book, I agreed to meet some friends on the road between ‘Nick’s place’ and ‘the quarry’: that we met successfully was due to the fact that we all recognised and understood these informal place names. However, to a different cohort of people, ‘Nick’s place’ is known as ‘the doctor’s house’, while had we been arranging this rendezvous with people unfamiliar with the area, we would have had to fall back upon more formal place names, names with a wider currency, names with ‘public’ approval, whether conferred by the local authority, the Post Office or the Ordnance Survey.

  • PRIMARY TREATMENT ROUTES Meadowhead Depot in Coylton
    PRIMARY TREATMENT ROUTES Meadowhead Depot in Coylton operates six primary gritting routes, mainly but not exclusively, confined to the north of the Council area; and includes the major towns of Ayr, Prestwick and Troon. Grangestone Depot in Girvan operates three primary gritting routes, mainly in the south of the Council area; and includes the major towns of Maybole and Girvan. Method Acting on advice received from the Council’s weather service provider, primary gritting routes will receive precautionary treatment prior to the onset of frost / ice. Included within the primary routes are all A class and B class roads and strategic C class and unclassified roads. Roads which meet the council’s criteria of precautionary treatment applied to a minimum of one road servicing council schools, hospitals, health centres and emergency service depots, plus roads servicing high concentrations of employment, commercial outlets and densely populated residential areas and other roads of strategic importance are also included. The exception to this arrangement is when the Council’s weather service provider advises that there is no risk of hazardous winter road conditions in any of the four climatic domains. In this event altered routes which exclude roads in a particular climatic domain are used. A small number of roads within residential areas may be partly treated in order to optimise a predetermined routing system.

  • Media Information for Immediate Use
    Media information For immediate use Pharmacies open in South Ayrshire over Easter weekend With GP practices being closed on Friday 2 and Monday 5 April, South Ayrshire residents are being urged to prepare to cope with any common health concerns. Some community pharmacists will remain open during this period and can answer questions on choosing and using the right medicine and provide easy-to-understand advice on treating everyday ailments such as coughs, colds and flu. NHS 24 also has a number of pharmacists who are able to answer medicine and pharmacy- related questions over the telephone on 111. In addition, NHS inform has valuable advice on how to prepare over the Easter weekend – visit http://www.nhsinform.scot and click on ‘Show You Care, Prepare’. Roisin Kavanagh, Director of Pharmacy, explains: “You can do a number of things to make sure you are prepared to deal with common illnesses for the coming months. Have a sufficient supply of medicines like paracetamol, sore throat and cough remedies, as these will help to relieve the symptoms of common ailments. “If you take regular medication, you should check your existing supplies and only order what you need to ensure you have enough to see you through the holiday weekend. It is also a good idea to make sure you know when your local GP practice and community pharmacy are closed.” Your community pharmacist can: prescribe medication for you following a consultation, under the NHS Pharmacy First Scotland Service; treat many women from age 16 to 65 for urinary tract infections under the
