    WHEATBELT SNAPSHOT SERIES: POWER AND ENERGY Version 1 – July 2014 networks such as the National Electricity Market (NEM). This means the system has no outside support or backup. DISCUSSION PAPER OVERVIEW Figure 2 South West Interconnected System Licensing Area Distribution The purpose of this document is to summarise the state of power and energy infrastructure in the Wheatbelt Region and identify key development issues. This document highlights the issues and limitations of existing infrastructure and identifies some of the identified short term capital works plans. Adequate power infrastructure is vital for industry and population growth in the Wheatbelt. Energy in the Wheatbelt (see figure 2) is supplied by the South West Interconnected System (SWIS), through the South West Interconnected Network (SWIN). Figure 1 Phases of electricity supply in Western Australia (Western Power 2012) Development Issues The Draft Wheatbelt Land Use Planning Strategy highlights that although energy infrastructure has a certain target capacity, energy is supplied incrementally in order to minimise costs and The SWIN is a self contained system, unlike major urban areas increase efficiencies. elsewhere in Australia which are powered through interconnected 1 Version: 01 – Revision Due 30/06/2015 • Emu Downs Wind Farm, Cervantes (79.2MW) In regions such as the Wheatbelt, only 50 to80 per cent of existing • Collgar Wind Farm, Burracoppin (206MW) capacity is currently utilised.

    DUE DILIGENCE STUDY FOR NORTH COUNTRY SYSTEM REINFORCEMENTS IN 2010, SYSTEM STUDIES REVIEW Revision No: 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report shows the due diligence study results associated with the North Country system reinforcement requirement work done by Western Power Electricity Network Corporation (WP). The work is limited to find out: i. Existing supply capacity for the North Country System (NCS) ii. There will be no benefit to the NCS system by adding another gas turbine at Mungarra iii. Necessity of reactive support device for the reinforcement option 2a. The North Country system load area consists of north of the Pinjar power station and Muchea zone substation. Presently, the North Country power system consists of a 132kV transmission network running approximately 400km from south to north. WP studies show that the power transfer from south to north will not meet the growing demand of the area by the year 2010. The NCS is an inherently weak system due to the long radial lines. The long and weak link between Geraldton and the remainder of the South West Interconnected System (SWIS) leads to low synchronising forces between generator groups, hence synchronous stability issues. Increase in local generation at Geraldton would further decrease the transfer limits. Presently, the Transient Voltage Recovery (TVR) requirement of the technical code is used to determine the NCS power transfer limit. HTC agrees that a 46MW transfer limit, based on the TVR criteria as indicated by the “Generation requirement for North Country System in 2006 (DMS#: 2468609)”, is correct and may be more appropriate than the 65MW indicated in the “Invitation for submissions – Proposed improvement to the Mid West region’s transmission network”.
