INTRODUCTION

Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project

Chapter 1 Final Report Introduction

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE SURVEY

Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (hereinafter called “Ethiopia”) has the second largest population in Africa (99.4 million people, according to World Bank Report of 2015).

The “Infrastructure Quality Improvement including Power Development” is one of the most prioritized policies in the “Growth and Transformation Plan II (2015/16~2019/20),(GTP2)” which targets the low middle-income countries until 2025.

To support stability and continuous development of Ethiopia in particular, it is indicated that it is necessary to invest in the increase of power generation capacity and in the expansion of the transmission and distribution network. In addition, expansion of the transmission network from 16,018km (2014/15) to 21,728km (2019/20) is one of the prioritized targets.

Target area of this preparatory survey (hereinafter called “The Survey”) is Addis Ababa administration area and an area of approximately 50km radius area around the city (hereinafter called “Addis Ababa Capital Region”).

Moreover, along with the economic and population growth, many developments in housing and industrial fields are planned. According to the Addis Ababa Distribution Master Plan (hereinafter called “AADMP”) prepared by the African Development Bank(hereinafter called “AfDB”) in 2015, the power demand in Addis Ababa Capital Region is expected to continuously increase from 800MW in 2014 to 3,600MW in 2034. However, the utilization ratio of distribution transformers and most of the medium voltage distribution network is beyond 100 % of the rated capacity. Moreover, the capacity of power network including the substations has already reached the breaking point.

Concretely, 1) approximately 19% loss in distribution system occurs due to lack of capacity and equipment deterioration, 2) capacity of transformers and distribution line is getting overloaded because of the rapid increase in demand, and 3) degradation due to aging of equipment, are causing problems of frequent power outage and voltage drop in the distribution network. For example, in Addis Ababa, a frequency of power outage was more than 20,000 times and total duration was more than 20,000 hours during the year of 2017.

Therefore, it is necessary to upgrade the transmission and substations, and rehabilitate the distribution network.

1-1 Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 1 Introduction Final Report

Considering these situations, JICA carried out the “Data collection survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and Distribution System(hereinafter called “Data collection survey”)” from June 2018 through August 2017.

The data collection survey conducted includes 1) Verification of the project component for the expected package, which is a Japanese Yen Loan, 2) Study on Applicable Quality Infrastructure, 3) Project finding for transmission, substation and distribution system in Addis Ababa. Based on the results of the Data Collection Survey, Addis Ababa Transmission and Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project are scheduled to be implemented.

1.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE SURVEY

2.1 SOCIAL ECONOMIC SITUATION IN ETHIOPIA 2.1.1 Economy Gross domestic product (hereinafter called “GDP”) of Ethiopia in 2016 was US$ 72.37 billion. The transition of GDP in the recent years is shown in Fig. 2.1-1 (Price real value in 2000US $). According to this, growth was stagnant from 2009 to 2011 due to the deterioration in international balance of payments, but after that GDP has been growing steadily.

The change in GDP growth rate by year is shown in Fig. 2.1-2. GDP growth rate is in the range of 20% to 40% from 2006 to 2009. GDP growth rate for 2010 and 2011 was very low, as the economic crisis expanded to a global scale. However, it recovered and the growth rate was approx. 36% in 2012, after that it shows a growth of approx. 10% to 17%, and the GDP continues to increase.

The composition ratio of GDP for Ethiopia and neighboring countries by industry, in 2016 is shown in Fig. 2.1-3. According to this, the composition ratio of GDP in Ethiopia is similar to that of Kenya, the service industry is less than half, the manufacturing industry is about 20%, and the remaining 30% is agriculture.

On the other hand, in Somalia, the composition ratio of GDP in terms of agriculture is remarkably large at 60%, followed by the service industry at 30%, and the GDP of manufacturing industry is remarkably small. Djibouti and Eritrea are biased towards the service industry, and the ratio of agriculture is remarkably small.

The manufacturing industry ratio of Ethiopia is almost at the same level as the neighboring countries, except for Somalia.

2-3 Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 2 Current Situation and Issues of the Power Energy Sector Final Report

Since it was difficult to obtain the most recent data in the statistics, JICA Study Team referred to the Ethiopia Growth and Transformation Plan II, which is the National Development Plan and it describes the target values until 2019. The growth rate of GDP by industry described in this plan is shown in Table 2.1-1.

According to this, the growth rate of the Manufacturing is 21.9%, which is higher than that of Agriculture and Service, especially Small and micro manufacturing is set the highest value of 22.3%.

This indicates that the government is promoting the development of the Manufacturing, in particular.

According to 2017 Debt Sustainability Analysis (hereinafter called “DSA”), in Ethiopia, the score of Country Policy and Institutional Assessment Ratings (CPIA) in 2016 was 3.47, but the debt sustainability is considered as not good. In particular, excessive imports are causing foreign currency shortages. This is caused by a large demand for machinery and equipment (e.g. vehicles, construction machinery, turbi nes, power transmission equipment, information equipment, etc.) to implement the large-sc ale infrastructure development and industrial infrastructure improvement.

On the other hand, the decrease in exports is also a problem, and the amount of exports of many items is decreasing except for beans, flowers, fruits and vegetables. Particularly, according to the report issued by Ethiopian Coffee, Tea and Spices Marketing and Development Authority, the

Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and 2-4 Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 2 Final Report Current Situation and Issues of the Power Energy Sector

decline in coffee beans, which accounts for 1/4 of export value, is considered to be greatly affected by the decreasing commodity prices in the global market.

Under such situations, Ethiopia expects to export power to neighboring countries. Ethiopia has abundant water resources, which makes the cost of generating electricity cheaper and more competitive than the neighboring countries. Furthermore, it is supposed to have a supply capacity of 9,000 MW or more in total in 2020 with the development of large-scale hydropower stations. With this capacity, electricity supply to Egypt, Kenya and Tanzania is scheduled to start, in addition to current export to destinations such as Djibouti and Sudan.

The prospect of exporting electricity to neighboring countries from Ethiopia, as estimated by IMF estimated is shown in Fig. 2.1-5. According to this, the export volume and income will increase after 2019, and in 2025 it is expected to supply 17,000 GWh, which is more than 5 times of its value in 2019, and it will generate an income of USD 1,200 million in 2019.

In the future the power will be supplied to the countries that are members of the East Africa Power Pool (EAPP). Based on PPA (Power Purchase Agreement), the Tariff (0.07 US Dollars/kWh)1 higher than in domestic is assumed for the power, and it is expected that the export of the power

greatly contributes to the economy of Ethiopia. The power importers from Ethiopia and the amount of power assumed in IMF's DSA report are shown in Fig. 2.1-6.

The rate of change in Consumer Price Index (hereinafter called “CPI”) for each year is shown in Fig. 2.1-7.

The rate of change in CPI exceeded almost 10% every year since 2006, especially 44.4% in 2008. These are caused by the soaring food prices caused by political unrest in the Middle East, soaring crude oil prices, food demand growth accompanying economic growth, etc. In the following year's 2009 and 2010, although the value was lowered temporarily due to the government's price control, but food prices have soared due to "East African Great Drought" from the autumn of 2010 and rainfall shortage in the 2011 rainy season. And by the government's currency devaluation, it shows high values again in 2011 and 2012. Since the Ethiopian Birr (hereinafter called “ETB”) depreciation continues even after 2013, the rate of change in CPI has been slightly higher at around 10% without any noticeable unseasonable weather.

Fluctuations in foreign direct investment (hereinafter called “FDI”) are shown in Fig. 2.1-9.

Although it remained at a low level from 2006 to 2012, it turns out that it has increased remarkably. It can be considered that there was an impact due to the European debt crisis at the beginning of the 2009 Greek fiscal crisis, and the FDI decreased.

After 2013, the FDI declined in other African countries, where resource development of oil, gas and other resources were expected, due to the worldwide crude oil price stagnation, but since Ethiopia is not a resource-rich country, the influence was small.

The composition ratio of FDI by manufacturing category in 2017 is shown in Fig. 2.1-10.

According to the Ethiopian Investment Commission (hereinafter called “EIC”) report (2016/2017), Manufacturing occupies the largest share of FDI, accounting for 89% of the total. Also, in the manufacturing field, the report mentions that the most successful industries in Ethiopia are textiles, clothing, food and beverages, tobacco, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Industrial parks are being developed for these industries, and infrastructure development such as roads for logistics and power supply are being carried out.

As it is difficulty to grasp information regarding FDI by other countries in Ethiopia, the JICA Study Team shows the ratio of corporate investment by countries, in Fig. 2.1-11. According to this, the largest share is China, followed by India and Turkey. The proportions of the remaining countries, namely, Germany, Italy, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and UAE, are almost same. This report indicates that investment by India and Turkey is mainly in textile and clothing.

2.2 CURRENT SITUATION AND ISSUES OF THE POWER AND ENERGY SECTOR 2.2.1 Consistency with High-Level Policies of Development by the Ethiopian Government Ethiopia was acknowledged as one of the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) in 2002. Ethiopia has formulated a national development plan for poverty reduction. Ministry of Finance and Economic Development, (MoFED) responsible for the formulation of national development plan, announced multiple field development plan such as transportation, energy and communication in September 2010, which is called the 5 year Growth and Transformation Plan (hereinafter called “GTP”). The GTP especially focuses on infrastructure development as an important means for sustainable development.

Total investment in the second plan (GTP 2) is currently US $ 119.5 billion, in which 35.9 billion US dollars is allocated for infrastructure development. Under this policy, the Ethiopian government is planning to increase power generation capacity by 13,000 MW and construct transmission lines and distribution lines for 5,710 km and 106,734 km, respectively. Thus, promotion of investment in the electricity sector has a high priority in Ethiopia's national policy, so it can be said that this project is highly consistent with the national policy.

2.2.2 Current Situation and Issues of the Power and Energy Sector In Ethiopia, the electricity law (Electricity Proclamation No.86) was amended in 1997. As a result, power utility was privatized as Ethiopia Electric Power Corporation (hereinafter called “EEPCo”) and the power generation sector was liberalized. In addition, Ethiopia Electricity Authority (hereinafter called “EEA”) was established as a regulatory authority of electric power business. EEA has been establishing regulations relevant to business license, investment license and grid access. After a while, EEPCo was divided into two organizations in December 2013 by the Council of Ministers Regulation No.302/20132, i.e. Ethiopian Electric Power, (hereinafter called “EEP”) which is responsible for power generation and transmission, and Ethiopian Electricity Utility (hereinafter called “EEU”) which is responsible for distribution.

Organization charts of the main counterparts EEP and EEU are shown in Fig. 2.2-1.

As mentioned before, power demand in Addis Ababa Capital Region is expected to increase from 800MW in 2014 to 3,600MW in 2034 mainly due to population increase (2014: 88million person, 2034: 140million person) and development plan. To cope with this rapid increase in power demand, of late, active investment is being done in the power sector. As a result of such investments, a lot of new power plants have started operation, and currently, the country has sufficient power generation capacity. In addition, power development utilizing the abundant hydropower potential is being carried out, which aims at acquiring foreign currency by exporting electricity to neighboring countries (refer to section 2.2.).

On the other hand, in the transmission and distribution field including substation, a remarkable deterioration has occurred owing to aging and a shortage in supply has occurred due to insufficient maintenance and investment. For example, as per the data after January 2015, there has been a poor quality of supply, with an average of 42 times power outage per week because of cable disconnection of 15kV distribution line and operation of substation’s circuit breaker. And there is a decrease in service quality, as around 20,000 customers are waiting for electricity connection.

To cope with further economic growth, the improvement of distribution and transmission network in Addis Ababa Capital Region is an urgent issue for the power sector in Ethiopia. In addition, consistent and balanced counter measures in the fields of substation, transmission and distribution are important in order to expand the facilities efficiently and effectively.

2.3 CURRENT CONDITION OF TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION NETWORK 2.3.1 Transmission Line and Substation Facilities in Addis Ababa Capital Region There are 29 substations in the study area. It consists of Bulk Power Points (hereinafter called “BSP”) 22 substations with the highest voltage over 132kV and primary substations (hereinafter called “P/S”) 7 substations with the highest voltage as 45kV or 33kV. The main transmission network of

Addis Ababa Capital Region is as shown Legend: Red:230kVT/L, S/S Green:132kVT/L,S/S in Fig. 2.3-1. The transmission line is Source:AADMP configured in a ring shape so as to Fig. 2.3-1 The main transmission network of Addis surround the center of the city. However, Ababa Capital Region Addis Center substation, Addis West substation (hereinafter called “ADW”), Addis East substation (hereinafter called “ADE”), etc., which are the important feeding points for power demand are supplied as a radial line from 132kV ring network. Therefore, these substations do not satisfy N-1 criteria.

According to AADMP, there are 57 units of transformers at BSP and primary substations in the study area. 32% of those transformers are in very poor condition or poor condition. Most of these transformers are very close to the lifespan or beyond the lifespan. An example of transformer condition in Addis Ababa Capital Region is shown in Table 2.3-1.

2.3.2 Distribution Network in Addis Ababa Capital Region The distribution network is generally radial type, it has a main backbone and a number of spurs. Some of the spurs have no connection with other feeders. Therefore, if a fault occurs, the effect of outage might spread widely. A π-loop type network system called "Expressway System" has been installed in the center of city. The basic structure of the Express way is shown in Fig. 2.3-2.

Fig. 2.3-2 Basic Structure of the Expressway System

Express way consists of high capacity feeder (Expressway Backbone) drawn out from substation, and 3 or 4 ring main units called Switching Station (hereinafter called “Sw/St”) are installed in the way of the feeder. End point of Express way is connected via one Sw/St to another Express way drawn out from adjacent substation. Sw/St is a multi-circuit switchgear, and it is equipped 4 branch circuit. Each branch circuit is connected to the existing overhead distribution line and supplies to the surrounding area.

Appearance Inside Fig. 2.3-3 Switching Station

2-13 Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 2 Current Situation and Issues of the Power Energy Sector Final Report

Each circuit of Sw/St is equipped with a circuit breaker with protection relay. If a fault occurs in the distribution line connected to this circuit breaker, the fault section is disconnected before the circuit breaker of the substation operates. In the event of a fault in one Express way, it is possible to supply to both without fault section.

In the example of Fig. 2.3-2, a backbone line (thick line in the figure) is installed between A substation and B substation, and both the substations are interconnected at Sw / St: B3, which is normally opened. Power is supplied to the existing distribution feeder (thin line portion of the drawing) through the backbone line and Sw / St. If an accident such as a ground fault occurs in the existing distribution line connected to Sw / St: A2; in the case of the conventional distribution system, since the circuit breaker of the A substation detects the ground fault and operates, entire distribution feeder is affected by outage. On the other hand, in the EW system, since the fault is detected by a breaker equipped in A2, the blackout section (blue line section in the figure) is minimized.

Also, if an accident occurs in the backbone section, the substation breaker will be operated, but after the accident section is found, relief supply can be made between substations. For example, if an accident occurs on the backbone line between A2 and A3 in Fig. 2.3-2, it is possible to supply electricity from A substation to A2, in the normal manner; and also possible to supply electricity from B substation to A3 by operating Line Switch of B3. As a result, it is possible to supply power to all sections except for the backbone line between A2 and A3 which is the accident section and all customers are supplied from the existing distribution feeders through Sw/St.

Although distribution systems with highly reliability have been installed in this way, many of them are out of service due to damage during the Light Rail Transit (LRT) construction.

Due to the damage to the networks, the performance Table 2.3-1 Outline of Distribution of distribution network is restricted. These situations Equipment in Study Area have caused many network issues i.e. feeder Equipment Total Quantity MV Feeders overload and excessive voltage drop. Most of the 15kV feeders 2,342 km 33kV feeders 322 km distribution network is operated at 15kV, however Distribution Transformer 15kV/433V 5,413 units regions with low demand in rural area are operated 33kV/433V 302 units at 33kV. EEP/EEU also has a plan to introduce 33kV LV feeders 6,553 km Source: JICA Study Team based on AADMP distribution network in the center of city, which is a high density area. Both distribution systems are stepped down to 433V or 250V by transformers mounted on pole or on the ground to supply for housing, commercial demand, etc. Typical number of equipment obtained is shown in Table 2.3-1.

Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and 2-14 Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 2 Final Report Current Situation and Issues of the Power Energy Sector

In the study of AADMP, load assessment and voltage condition evaluation in distribution network have been done using facilities data which are managed by facilities management system in EEU (Distribution Management System 600:hereinafter called “DMS600”). AADMP found that there is a lot of overload and excessive voltage drop in many distribution feeders.

Table 2.3-2 shows an example of assessment results. Moreover, AADMP evaluated the health condition of the substation equipment. However, AADMP has only considered equipment condition of the entire distribution network using sample survey, due to the enormous amount of equipment. According to this estimate conclusion using sample survey, it was indicated that 53% (1,354 km) of medium voltage (hereinafter called “MV”) feeders, 58% (3,331 units) of distribution transformers and 82% (5,375 km) of low voltage (hereinafter called “LV”) feeders need some kind of rehabilitation. An example of status survey result is described in Table 2.3-3.

2.4 OUTLINE AND ISSUES OF ADDIS ABABA TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM REHABILITATION AND UPGRADING PROJECT 2.4.1 Project Contents of AADMP This Project would be executed by parallel corporate funding from AfDB based on the result of AADMP. Based on the Health Index, deterioration and overload of substations was identified in AADMP, which is the premise of this project and it was formulated with the support of AfDB in 2015 as mentioned above. Overload and voltage drop of MV feeders was also identified in AADMP by network analysis. Based on these result, AADMP proposed necessary rehabilitation and expansion plan. In addition, AADMP was formulated in consideration with the demand growth up to 2034 and N-1 reliability, and the other related projects which were underway in the Addis Ababa metropolitan area.

AADMP is tackling the problem of power sector in the metropolitan area by taking into account the effects of the related projects.

The project proposed in AADMP has described the specification of the following four (4) contents.

a) Rehabilitation and Short Term Expansion Plan

Countermeasures for overloading and deterioration of transmission and substation equipment, and measures against overload and voltage drop of MV distribution feeders

b) Medium Term Expansion Plan

Measures for expanding transmission and substation equipment according to the demand increase in the medium term plan period

c) Long Term Expansion Plan

Measures for expanding transmission and substation equipment according to the demand increase in the long term plan period

d) SCADA and Telecommunications

Installation plan of remote monitoring control system and the accompanying communication equipment

Moreover, the above project except “c) Long Term Expansion Plan” are organized into six(6) packages as described in Table 2.4-1 from the view point of scope of work, implementation period, etc., and it is based on the inception report issued upon transition to the execution stage. In addition, at the beginning of the basic survey, packages 1 to 3 had been decided to be implemented with

Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and 2-16 Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 2 Final Report Current Situation and Issues of the Power Energy Sector

AfDB support, and JICA was asked to consider implementing packages 4 to 6.

2.4.2 Result of the Data Collection Survey The Data Collection Survey was executed from June 2017 to August 2017 by JICA and NEWJEC. The purpose of that survey was to evaluate the adequacy of AADMP, review project feasibility, collect lacking information, consider installation of High Quality Infrastructure and evaluate financial eligibility.

(1) Tasks confirmed in the Data Collection Survey

The Data Collection Survey has organized the tasks for the execution of the Project described in Table 2.4-1, based on review of AADMP and discussion with related parties. Specifically, the following three (3) tasks are cited.

1) Uncertainty due to related projects The AADMP study identifies parts of the network, which do not meet the planned criteria in terms of voltage or loading limits, based on the medium-term demand increase, as well as the areas of the network which were found to be in poor physical condition. Then, based on the result, a number of rehabilitation and expansion project were proposed. However, these plans were being considered on the basis of many other planned and committed projects, and it is necessary to revise the timing and contents of the AADMP plan according to the progress of

2-17 Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 2 Current Situation and Issues of the Power Energy Sector Final Report

the related projects.

As a specific example, scope of work related to ADC substation including transmission line from ADC to BLL substation has been changed from the original plan of Package IV as a result of discussion with related parties.

2) Task from the Perspective of “Quality Infrastructure” In AADMP, among the three problems (Lack of capacity, Poor reliability and High losses), the focus was mainly to solve the lack of capacity in the transmission and distribution network of the study area. As a result of solving the capacity shortage, the remaining two problems (Poor reliability and High losses) will only be partially resolved. Regarding this point, report of the Data Collection Survey has stated that Addis Ababa capital region should construct high quality transmission and distribution network as a model case for the surrounding countries, as it is one of the biggest cities in Africa. In the data collection survey, all parties have roughly agreed to install High Quality Infrastructure.

High Quality Infrastructure which are planned for installation in this project are shown below.

 Outdoor type GIS  Amorphous transformer  Pin post Insulator  Time sequential sectionalizing system  Low loss conductor

3) Tasks for Execution of Distribution Package (Package V) AADMP has stated the necessity to widely rehabilitate the distribution equipment based on a sample survey. However, it does not specify the actual quantities with respect to the scope of work. According to the draft Bidding Documents, the contractor needs to survey for a certain period to decide the scope of work. Afterwards, the contractor prepares the construction specification and carries out the construction.

On one hand, to obtain the Official Development Assistance Loan, it is necessary to confirm loan amount and scope of work properly. Therefore, it is necessary to examine and design all facilities which will be subject to construction. Although equipment which would be subject to this analysis would be the distribution transformers, MV feeders and LV feeders; there are numerous combinations for the deterioration factor, depending on the situation of plurality of constituent devices such as electric wire, utility pole, insulator, arm, transformer, protective equipment. Therefore, it is very difficult to prepare the construction specification. Moreover,

Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and 2-18 Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 2 Final Report Current Situation and Issues of the Power Energy Sector

it would take a long time and effort to prepare the specification based on the entire equipment survey. Especially, LV feeders have been widely expanded compared to MV feeders. Therefore, it needs huge effort to assess scope of work.

JICA Study Team suggested that if EEU does not perform asset management and system management for design, survey and subcontractors properly, it is very difficult to solve these issues.

(2) Discussion with related organizations based on the results of Data Collection Survey

Based on the above result, JICA Study Team discussed the project range with EEP, EEU and AfDB. Related parties have concluded that SCADA (Package IV) will be executed using the AfDB fund. However, ADN substation and WER substation in package III will be executed using the JICA fund.

Moreover, JICA Study Team and related parties have agreed that it is difficult to get funding from Japan government if EEU does not implement the system to carry out survey and design related to LV feeders.

Outline of AADMP is described in Table 2.4-2 Outline of the AADMP Project (After Study) based on the result of the Data Collection Survey. Items marked in red indicate items which have changed from the original plan as a result of the study. In addition, AfDB has decided loans to packages 1 to 3 and 6 in November 2017.

2.5 FACILITY PLANNING STANDARD AND DESIGN STANDARD 2.5.1 132kV Overhead Transmission / Underground Cable / Substation There is no specific design standard which is established by the EEP. EEP has adopted specification of tender documents which were used for other projects. Design standard supplied by each engineer in EEP, consists of two parts called B1 and B2. B1 mainly describes scope of work for construction and B2 describes specification of each equipment. There is no big problem in design standard, because the contents match the related international standard. However, it has varying specification as per each project. Therefore, specific design standard prepared by the EEP is necessary to unify every specification. Example of design standard (Technical Particular Guarantee in Tender) is shown in Fig. 2.5-1.

2.6 POWER SUPPLY AND DEMAND BALANCE IN THE FUTURE According to the AADMP, the power demand in Addis Ababa Capital Region is expected to continuously increase from 800MW in 2014 to 3,600MW in 2034. The growth rate per year is 7.8%.

On the other hand, according to the related report prepared by AfDB, Ethiopia’s overall power demand in 2015 was around 3GW. Therefore, it can be forecasted that the overall demand in 2034

Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and 2-22 Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 2 Final Report Current Situation and Issues of the Power Energy Sector

can increase to around 12.5GW based on the growth rate of 7.8%. Generation expansion plan of the project is shown in Table 2.6-1. In this table, the total planned generation expansion capacity is 14.4GW, which includes Grand Renaissance hydro power plant (6GW) which is under construction etc. Therefore when the generation plants are developed, based on the expansion plan, the power supply will be able to sufficiently satisfy the increasing power demand, in the future. The total capacity of existing power plant is around 4.3GW, and the list is shown in Table 2.6-2.

CHAPTER 3 NECESSITY AND ADEQUACY OF THIS PROJECT

3.1 ISSUES OF ADDIS ABABA POWER SYSTEM AND EFFECT OF THE PROJECT 3.1.1 Expansion Plan of Addis Ababa Power System As mentioned before, it is necessary to expand the transmission line and substation facility to respond to the increasing power demand in Addis Ababa capital city, and it also is necessary to rehabilitate the facility as it has deteriorated. Therefore, the rehabilitation and expansion of transmission line and substation facilities is an urgent issue. In this project, as a solution to the issues, the following substations are targeted for the expansion and rehabilitation study: Addis Center (hereinafter called “ADC”) substation, an important station in the Addis Ababa power system which transmits to the central region of Addis Ababa city, and Addis North (hereinafter called “ADN”) substation in the northern region, and Weregenu substation in the eastern region. First, the basic specifications are shown in Fig. 3.1-1, and then the basis for the same are described in the following sections. Power system analysis result of Addis Ababa system is shown in section 3.1.2.

3-1 Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 3 Necessity and Adequacy of this project Final Report

(1) ADC substation The load of ADC substation in 2017 was 64MW. Based on the growth rate of 7.8% and the power factor of 0.95, the load will exceed the available total capacity of 200MVA (around 190MW) of the ADC substation in the year 2032. The capacity of 200MVA is composed of 132kV/15kV transformer 50MVA × 3, whose availability is 100%, and 132kV/33kV transformer 50MVA ×1, whose availability is 100%; here the short time over load rate of one transformer is considered as 150%.

The capacity study result of the transmission line (hereafter called “T/L”) of ADC substation is shown in Fig. 3.1-2. Here the final capacity of ADC substation is considered. The capacity of 132kV two circuit T/L from Kaliti1 substation, which transmits to the ADC substation in normal condition, is 200MVA per circuit. The capacity of 132kV one circuit T/L from Black Lion (hereafter called “BLL”) substation, which transmits to the ADC substation during accidents, such as tripping of the upper T/L by lightning, is 200MVA per circuit. By adopting this capacity, the T/L from Kaliti1 substation to ADC substation can transmit a total 375MVA load to ADC substation and BLL substation, even during accidents such as the tripping of T/L from Addis West substation to BLL substation caused by lightning. Therefore the T/Ls are able to transmit the power load stably during accidents, as well as in normal condition.

On the other hand, Gofa substation which is located in between ADC substation and Kaliti1 substation, is transmitted from the Mekanisa substation by 132kV one circuit T/L, so, Gofa substation is not transmitted in case the T/L trips. Based on the study of various alternative options (Table 3.1-1), as a countermeasure, Gofa substation has to be expanded, such that the connection to the T/L between ADC substation and Kaliti1 substation is by one circuit T off.

(2) ADN substation The load of ADN substation in 2017 was 47MW. Based on the growth rate of 7.8% and the power factor of 0.95, the load will exceed the available total capacity of 75MVA (around 71MW) of ADN substation in the year 2022. The capacity of 75MVA is composed of 132kV/15kV transformer 50MVA × 2, whose availability is 75%; here the short time over load rate of one transformer is considered as 150%. In normal operation case, there is no load excess until the year of 2026.The year of load excess can be postponed by load shift to the nearest substation such as Minilik substation.

(3) Weregenu substation The load of Weregenu substation in 2017 was 54MW. Based on the growth rate of 7.8% and the power factor of 0.95, the load will exceed the installed capacity of 125MVA (around 119MW) of Weregenu substation in the year 2028. The capacity of 125MVA is composed of 132kV/15kV transformer 50MVA × 2, whose availability is 75%, and 132kV/33kV transformer 50MVA × 1, whose availability is 100%; here the short time over load rate of one transformer is considered as 150%.

The capacity study result of the T/L of Weregenu substation is shown in Fig. 3.1-3. Here the final capacity of ADC substation is considered. The capacity of 132kV one circuit T/L from Kaliti1 substation, which transmits to Weregenu substation in normal condition, is 150MVA per circuit. The capacity of another 132kV circuit T/L from Cotobie substation, which transmits to Weregenu substation during accidents such as tripping of the upper T/L by lightning, is 150MVA per circuit. By adopting this capacity, the T/Ls are able to transmit the power load stably during accidents, as well as in normal condition.

3.1.2 Power System Analysis of the Project Target System Existing power system of Addis Ababa capital city is shown in Fig. 3.1-4. Power flow in the system as of 2017, is shown in Fig. 3.1-5.

The load of ADC substation and ADN substation, which are the project targets, is close to the capacity of the existing transformers. For example, the load of ADC substation with transformer capacity 75MVA, is 64MW and the load of ADN substation with transformer capacity 50MVA is 47MW. The ADC substation, Weregenu substation and Gofa substation are connected to the system by one circuit, so power outage will happen in case the T/L trips. By the expansion of T/L and substation facilities as shown in section 3.1.1, the issues will be solved and stable transmission will be realized.

3.1.3 Recommendation It is recommended to separately proceed (as another project) with the following T/L expansion study, to support this T/L and substation expansion project.

・Expansion of T/L between ADN substation, Minilik substation and Shegole substation (T/L capacity increased by replacement of the conductor or replacement of the tower) (Length: around 2km, Circuit number: single, Cost: around 1MUSD) Objective: The T/L capacity to be matched, to expand the capacity of ADN substation

・Expansion of T/L between Kaliti1 substation, Weregenu substation’s πoff point and Cotobie substation (T/L capacity increased by replacement of the conductor or replacement of the tower) (Length: around 21km, Circuit number: double, Cost: around 16MUSD) Objective: The T/L capacity to be matched, to expand the capacity of Weregenu substation

・Expansion of T/L between Addis West substation and Sebeta substation (T/L capacity increased by replacement of the conductor or replacement of the tower) (Length: around 6km, Circuit number: double, Cost: around 5MUSD) Objective: The T/L capacity to be matched to the total capacity of ADC substation and BLL substation, which is transmitted from Addis West substation in case the T/L between ADC substation and Kliti1 substation trips

3.2 ISSUE OF ADDIS ABABA DISTRIBUTION NETWORK AND POSITION OF THIS PROJECT ON THE ISSUE 3.2.1 Issues of Distribution Network obtained from the Data Collection Survey In the Data Collection Survey, JICA Study Team confirmed that the Indian company, which operated distribution business few years ago, promoted work efficiency improvement, such as reduction of DCC staff, and outsourcing of call center business. As a result, EEU has fallen into a situation that EEU cannot update the data contained in Distribution Management System 600 (hereinafter referred to as "DMS 600"), which is the facility management system of EEU.

Due to the above changes in business operations, DMS600 has not been updated for several years and has almost not been used. Such inadequacy in facility management is one of reasons for the current issue of distribution network, such as overload/poor quality of distribution feeders and overload/breakdown of distribution transformers. While EEP/EEU strongly recognizes the need to

Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and 3-8 Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 3 Final Report Necessity and Adequacy of this project

improve this situation, especially the overloading of transformers and poor quality of LV feeders, they cannot grasp exactly which transformer is overloaded because of their poor facility management. As a result of this situation, EEU cannot implement/plan in advance. Only after complaints from customers, they can finally grasp the fault of a transformer and repair the broken transformer.

At the start of this survey, the target area for this survey would not be fixed and it would be decided after consultation with the Ethiopian counterparts based on the results of the first field survey. This is because, it is difficult to estimate the scale of the project and the budget due to the inadequacy of facility management.

In addition, the target facilities are limited to only medium voltage (hereinafter called “MV”) feeders and distribution transformers, and LV feeders are not included in the target, since the investigation of overall LV equipment requires huge amount of time and manpower.

On the other hand, the EEU strongly recognizes the need to improve the quality of LV feeders such as overloading and excessive voltage drop of LV. In response to this need of EEU, JICA Study Team would confirm the implementation status of the conditions recommended to the EEU by the Data Collection Survey and decide whether to include the LV in this project at the first field survey.

The conditions recommended by the Data Collection survey were as follows.

・Survey team for preparing the existing LV feeder topology and inspection of deteriorated facilities, ・Design team for designing and engineering LV distribution network ・Preparing software and operator(s) for DMS 600.

Table 3.2-1 shows the target of the survey before the first field survey. And this content is agreed with the Ethiopian side at the time of the Data collection survey.

3.2.2 Condition and Issues at the Start of the Survey (1) Insufficient Management and Updating of Related Data As mentioned above, the EEU, which is in charge of distribution business, has fallen into a situation where they cannot conduct effective facility management and hold the facility data necessary for planning rehabilitation and expansion. JICA Study Team confirmed in the first field survey that the contents of the other projects, which were implemented by the WB and other international donor organization, were being considered and implemented after a partial investigation of only the target area. Although the facility data collected at that time is held even after the project, EEU has not updated the data after the completion of the project. JICA Study Team also confirmed that the necessary data (such as installation condition and deterioration situation of each equipment, length and conductor type of LV feeder, and number of customers and their monthly usage) for the planned rehabilitation project of the distribution network is remarkably insufficient because of poor management of the facility.

(2) Facility status of LV feeders In the first field survey, JICA Study Team obtained the data of about 500 transformers, including LV feeders implemented by WB for the distribution network rehabilitation project (Electricity Network Reinforcement and Expansion Project). Table 3.2-2 shows the comparison between the current situation of LV feeders in the Addis Ababa capital region obtained by this survey and the

Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and 3-10 Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 3 Final Report Necessity and Adequacy of this project

LV design standard of EEU. Based on the LV design standard, the number of customers and the distance from the transformer are determined separately for the two different types of areas, one where the demand growth is expected (Growing areas) and the other where demand is saturated (Saturated areas).

From this table, it can be seen that the number of customers connected to each transformer and the maximum distance largely exceed the number set in the standard. For example, in the case of a transformer with a capacity of 100 kVA, the maximum number of customers and the maximum distance are defined as 80 and 200 m by standard, whereas the average number of customers and average maximum distance based on survey data are 118 and 948m. This means that more than half of the transformers are not as per the standard. The distance also exceeds the standard by about 4 to 5 times1, it can be assumed that a large voltage drop occurs due to the excess in number of customers. In addition, the survey by the WB project was conducted about five years ago, so it is assumed that the number of customers has further increased.

It is thought that the construction of facilities have deviated largely from the prescribed standard because of improper facility management. In case of including LV feeders to the scope of this project, it is necessary to investigate such enormous amount of facilities, and it is thought that a huge amount of time and manpower are necessary, more than what was originally assumed.

(3) Implementation situation of LV feeders rehabilitation As mentioned above, since the LV feeders are widely spread compared to the MV feeders, a great deal of labor is required for surveying and grasping the amount of rehabilitation work. Therefore, during the Data Collection survey, JICA Study Team recommended to EEU that the following

1 Since the implementation area of WB project is expected to grow in the future, it is compared with the number of Growing areas.

3-11 Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 3 Necessity and Adequacy of this project Final Report

organizations are required to investigate the LV feeders.

 Survey team for preparing the existing LV feeder topology and inspection of deteriorated facilities,  Design team for designing and engineering LV distribution network,  Preparing software and operator for DMS 600.

However, JICA Study Team confirmed in the first field survey which was conducted after 8 months post the Data collection survey that EEP / EEU has not yet taken steps, in response to these recommendations. Also, it is thought that it will take quite a long time to develop the required organization from that point onwards.

In addition, JICA Study Team confirmed the implementation status of the WB project including LV feeders described above. Although LV feeders have been refurbished from a bare wire to ABC (Aerial Bundled Cable)cable, JICA Study Team confirmed that the fuse was damaged even after the implementation of the project (Fig. 3.2-1). Based on these results, although rehabilitation of trunk line was carried out, since the improvement of the LV system configuration (length, number of customers etc.) based on the LV design standards has not been done, the overload issue has not been resolved even after the renovation By this, it can be assumed that fundamental solutions such as construction of appropriate LV system have not been carried out.

Based on issues in the distribution network as described above, JICA Study Team consulted with EEP and EEU about the scope of the project.

Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and 3-12 Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 3 Final Report Necessity and Adequacy of this project

3.2.3 Scope of the JICA Project (1) Confirmation of the target to be surveyed 1) Confirmation of the target facility As a result of consultation, regarding the facility to be covered by JICA project, EEP/EEU and JICA Study Team concurred on setting the following as the target for this project: MV feeders and distribution transformers excluding LV feeders. In addition to the fact that EEU has not taken steps which were recommended after Data Collection Survey; the reasons for excluding LV feeders are mainly the following;

- Data that is indispensable for grasping the amount of construction work and projecting the investment effect cannot be obtained before the deadline, if the project includes LV feeders.

- The effect of investing in the rehabilitation of LV feeders is much lower than that of MV feeders and distribution transformers.

- On rearranging MV network, by additional installations and/or relocation of distribution transformers, major issues of LV network such as voltage depression and overloading are expected to be improved.

In addition, JICA Study Team confirmed that the number of the serious incidents such as physical injuries caused by the deterioration of LV feeders is limited. Such incidents have not occurred since September 2017. So, the necessity to urgently implement it as a JICA project is low.

2) Confirm quantity of equipment to be surveyed The number of facilities to be surveyed in JICA project was identified by reconfirming the equipment quantity of each Item (data update) on consultation with the counterpart. The quantities of target equipment for Items A, B, C are shown in Table 3.2-3. As shown in the table, the total quantity of the target facility was 375 km for the MV distribution line and 2,167 units for the distribution transformer, which is a total of each item, and the LV equipment was excluded from the target equipment.

In addition, in the case of an increase or decrease in the target quantity of each item during the investigation, the EEP/EEU agreed to adjust quantity between each Item, with the total planned quantity as the upper limit. The implementation details of each item will be described later in the next section.

(2) Details of each Item 1) Item A In Item A, the project content is the rehabilitation of the distribution transformer in the target area. In the Key Program proposed by AADMP, it was targeted only the deteriorated equipment, and it was planned only to replace deteriorated transformer. But in this project, the load situation of the transformer is considered, in addition to the deterioration. Measures will also be taken to deal with insufficient capacity.

In AADMP, a map was created using Q-GIS (Quantum GIS which Addis West Addis Center is a free open source GIS), which is Weregenu based on the data of DMS600. This

is the latest equipment data held by Nifas Silk Sebeta1 Addis South EEP/EEU. Mekanisa Kality 2 When JICA study team reconfirmed the number of transformers in the Fig. 3.2-2 Target area of Item A survey target area (marked in blue

2) Item B In Item B, the project content is rehabilitation of MV feeders (pole, conductor, distribution transformer, etc.), which have problems related to frequent power outages.

Although EEP had considered the priority of MV feeders for rehabilitation, based on the number of outage; JICA Study Team recommended that it is more effective to consider based on the number of outage per unit length from the view point of investment effect; and EEP/EEU has agreed to this concept.

In addition, EEP/EEU and JICA Study Team amended the priority by adding information on the importance of each MV feeder, such as feeder supplying to important customers, i.e. a water distribution plant and/or city center etc. Table 3.2-4 shows the priority list to be surveyed for Item B as a result of the above consideration. Fig. 3.2-5 shows the diagram of Gefresa 04.

3) Item C In Item C, the JICA project aims to improve supply reliability by introducing TSS system in addition to the rehabilitation of MV feeder as planned to implement in item B.

The target MV feeders for Item C were decided to be some feeders of DEBRE ZEYT II substation from the viewpoint that they have a high demand (e.g. industrial area) without the installation of Expressway system, and also a high effect can be expected in terms of investment and improvement in reliability. And since the # 14 distribution line is very long (total: 48.66 km) and most of it is a light load, it is agreed that the MV line is conducted only in the central town (18.66km) where the load is relatively high. Table 3.2-5 shows the list of feeders to be surveyed for Item C. Fig. 3.2-6 shows the diagram of the distribution system.

(1) Overhead Transmission Line Route Existing 132kV Transmission line from Addis Centre to Kaliti-I is 14 km with 56 tower as shown in Fig. 4.1-1.

In this project, the existing one (1) circuit transmission line will be replaced by two (2) circuits of underground cables and a new double circuit overhead transmission line. New overhead transmission line will be constructed from T22, located in the store of EEP/EEU, up to the Kaliti- I substation.

Route-check was conducted on the ROW (Right Of Way:Corridor, hereinafter “ROW”) between T22 and Kaliti-I substation, as shown in Table 4.1-1.

The detailed check result of each tower is attached as Appendix-3 with this report. The detailed tower location is shown in Appendix-4. The condition of underground cables for the section between T1 and T22 will be checked during the second site investigation in June 2018.

The 132 kV overhead power transmission line from Addis Centre Substation to the Kaliti I Substation seems to have been be constructed in the 1980s and it has been in continuous service for over 40 years. The ground wire on top of the transmission line tower has been replaced with OPGW (fiber optic ground line) a few years ago. Large scale maintenance of the transmission line has not been carried out for a long time, so some towers and their foundations have begun to collapse and are in dangerous condition.

It is assumed that the majority of transmission lines pass through open lands and fields; and a 30 meter width for ROW Corridor passage was maintained and secured at the time of construction in 1980s. However, as the development of Addis Ababa city started after 2000, and the business and residential area were expanded, some parts of the ROW Corridor have been occupied by houses and such ROW have disappeared.

(2) Approach to Kaliti-I Substation. The original transmission line route to the Kaliti-I substation initially passed through the Kaliti-I substation and was connected via the existing T53 to T54 to the substation gantry structure. Two new units of two circuit 220kV towers were constructed along the boundary of Kaliti-I substation two years ago, to shift the transmission line to the outermost site near the boundary of Kaliti-I substation. The new towers are numbered as T54 and T55 and the original T54 is called as T56. It is requested to keep those new towers and use them as a part of new two circuit transmission line to Addis Centre. Layout of Kaliti-I Substation is shown in Fig. 4.1-2.

As the foundation design and construction of T54 and T55 are not under our control, the slack tension of the conductor shall be applied to ensure the tower and foundation strength of those towers. T53 shall be the dead-end tower to secure the unbalanced tension.

(1) Optical Fiber OPGW Optical fiber OPGW (Optical Fiber Ground Wire) is used as GW (ground wire) for most of the existing transmission lines in Addis Ababa. The project for the replacement of OPGW in GW had been started in 2012, and the Contractor seems to be ZTE from China. In April 2018, ZTE had stopped their activities due to restrictions on trade between US and China, but the impact on Ethiopia is unknown. Two (2) OPGWs are installed on the newly constructed transmission line in Addis Ababa. The specifications of OPGW used by ZTE are as follows.

Project Name Ethiopia EEP OPGW Project II Contractor ZTE S2ET2013031101WDMXTS1 Equipment and Quantity Optical Cable 6 km drum x 2 drums 48 cores (Corning Fiber Structure x 1) G.655 (Telecommunication Standard) of ITU International Telecommunication Unit Characteristics of non-zero dispersion shifted single mode optical fiber and cable. UTS 61.3kN Diameter 10 mm Weight 327 kg/km Short – circuit current 23.9kA (20℃)

The OPGW for the one (1) circuit 132 kV transmission line between the Addis Centre substation and the Kaliti-I substation seems to have been replaced in the GW after 2012. According to the drum schedule, short length drums were applied with some OPGW joint boxes as shown in Table 4.1-8. The number of fiber seems to be 24 cores. There was a fiber joint record and the junction box was set up in the following place. Vibration Damper was installed and equipped on every transmission line.

OPGW with 48 fibers (diameter 2.7mm section area 91.71 mm2) is applied in other 220 kV and 132 kV transmission lines. There is no detail record of the original ground wire which was used before the replacement by OPGW, but it seem that GW (Galvanized Wire) of 12 mm diameter was used in another project of EEP recently.

(2) Application of OPGW Each substation has facilities for Telecommunication System of PLC (Power Line Carrier) with old panels made by ABB and Areva, but it seems that PLC facilities were out of service, and have been refurbished recently. Optical Communication System with OPGW are in services. Telecommunication PABX and Substation Automation Systems (SAS) have been installed and are in operation for controlling and monitoring by Load Dispatch Centre. Protection relay (Differential Relay) which is connected directly by optical fiber is not in service.

Different control system using optical fibers are in service at each substation. Nifas Silk substation : Schneider built a monitoring system inside substation SAS Kaliti I substation : Areva built the monitoring system as in SAS

LDC (Load Dispatch Centre) is located in the Weregenu Substation. SCADA systems seem to use Areva's program for acquiring various data from each substation and conduct RTU remote control.

LDC and each substation are connected and linked using OP fiber in a loop form through Gateway. Panels of Substation Automation Systems (SAS) are located in each substation, the name of the manufacturing company is Chunghwa Communications Co., Ltd. (ZTE), a major communication company in China, and the company name, Guodian Nanjing Automation Co. Ltd. is listed. These panels were set up several years ago and it seems that ZTE of China installed the panel and the OPGW on towers.

Two (2) OPGWs are installed on the new Tubular tower transmission lines. Totally, 96 fiber cores (2 × 48) are installed between the substations. Currently, optical fiber is applied for SCADA and communication, only a few fibers are under service, and the remaining fibers are unused and many fibers are just excesses.

There is LDC inside the Weregenu Substation, and the LDC communicates with all the substations via optical fibers on the existing 132kV transmission line, as the towers from Weregenu substation including T61 are not in good condition due to the long service period of over 30 years. The surrounding steel tower including the tower T61 has been in operation for more than 30 years. There is high risk if the use of OPGW via T61 is continued, it is recommended to install a new OPGW along the new underground cable between Weregenu substation and T67.

4.1.3 Tower Towers for 132kV Transmission Line in Addis Ababa are divided into two types, namely, the “Lattice Tower” using steel angle material and the “Tubular Tower” using pipe steel material. Furthermore, more compact tubular towers with insulated cross arms are used.

The foundation of Tubular Tower can be designed in compact small size, and the tubular towers can be installed in the center of the road without disturbing the traffic on the road. In the dense residential area, Tubular Towers can be installed in short spans in the existing spaces between houses without any resettlement. 132kV transmission line can pass over the houses, where there is no ROW, it means that the housing under the transmission lines are accepted if the limits for safety electrical clearance is adhered. It is unknown whether the EEP signed an official contract with each of the residential house owner(s) to limit the height of house.

As the Bole international airport was opened in 2003, there are no aircraft signs marked on the existing 132 kV transmission line. However, the transmission line crosses the path of aircraft when an aircraft approaches the airport, so, air craft warning mark should be installed in accordance with ICAO regulation. T21-22 will be crossing the air flight course. Fig. 4.1-11 shows how the arrester needle is installed at the top of the tower and how the ladder is installed.

4.1.4 Insulation Materials Three kinds of insulation materials are used for the existing transmission line in Addis Ababa city. For 45 kV, 132 kV, 220 kV transmission lines built in 1970 to 2010, Porcelain insulator from NGK and Glass insulator from Sediver were used. Composite polymer insulators made by Tonly are used for 132 kV, 220 kV transmission lines since 2010. As per EEP Bidding Specification, it has been requested to use composite polymer and avoid the installation of porcelain insulator and glass insulator discs. So far there is no replacement record of composite polymer insulators due to their replacement period of 10-15 years.

For information, EVN (Electricity of Vietnam) decided that composite insulators shall be replaced with the traditional type due to the high life cycle cost of Composite polymer insulator.

It is noticed that the composite insulators are kept outside in the same state, and this may cause damage to the composite insulators. Many glass insulator discs are shattered, and no replacement has been done for insulator assemblies at the substation and tower.

4.1.5 Foundation Drawings for the foundation of the 132 kV transmission line constructed around 1980 could not be found in the EEP library, but foundation drawings of similar project in 2006 and 2008 were found. The drawing prepared in 2008 was designed for, Harar - FIQ Power Transmission Line Project, by the contractor, Associated Transrail Structure Limited India, and those drawings refer to Hagere Marian Meg Power Project (Contract No. GM 33.20 / 04/99 Dated September 22, 2006).

It seems that the foundation for 132 kV transmission line near Addis Ababa would be almost same as the one designed in 2006. The dimension of foundation is shallow with a depth of 1.9m, and 1.8m base size foundation for suspension towers. There was no obstruction for transmission line route, around 1960, which passed through urban area and open field without any houses.

Now transmission line is located inside the city, heavy trucks pass near the towers, and the tower foundation has deformed due to unexpected force and loads from trucks, houses and the weight of embankment soil.

4.2 UNDERGROUND CABLE The routes for 132 kV underground cable system requested from EEP are categorized in three sections as follows.

- Section 1: From Black Lion substation (hereinafter called as BLL) to New Addis Centre substation (hereinafter called as New ADC)

- Section 2: New ADC - Connecting point with overhead lines which is close to Gofa substation

- Section 3: Weregenu substation - Connecting point with overhead lines which is close to St. Mary’s Church

Underground cables are adopted in urban areas where land acquisition is difficult and consideration for landscape is required. On the other hand, urban areas have higher density of buried objects such as water pipes, sewer pipes, distribution lines, communication lines, compared to rural areas. Projects such as road expansion and introduction of a new transportation system are often planned in developing cities, so it is necessary to select a route considering urban development plan. Therefore, the route was selected by the following procedure.

Step 1: Propose several candidate routes for each section (Appendix-7(A)) to the City Government Commission (hereinafter referred as the City Planning)

Step 2: Consult with the Transport Program Management Office (hereinafter referred as the Transport Authority) and Road Construction and Maintenance Design Revision implementation office (hereinafter referred as the Road Authority) based on the response from the authorities (Appendix-7(B))

Step 3: Correct the candidate routes based on their comments and form consensus with EEP (Appendix-7(C))

There are two methods to lay cables. One is to bury cables directly and the other is to lay cables in conduit pipes installed in advance. Although each method has merits and demerits, the City Planning has requested the latter method to improve the reliability of the infrastructure facilities in the city where the development is underway. Therefore, the underground cable system in the Project has been studied based on the condition that the conduit system is applied.

Conduit pipes are buried under a sidewalk, a roadway or a median strip. However, since infrastructure such as sewer pipes, water pipes, communication lines, etc. are already buried in the sidewalk, it is considered difficult to lay conduit pipes under it. Therefore, conduit pipes will be buried under a roadway or a median strip. On the other hand, when opting to have conduit pipes buried under the median strip, plants, fences and the like, which exist on the median strip, become an obstacle in

4-19 Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 4 Results of Site Survey Final Report

construction. Therefore, it is important to discuss how to handle it. EEP has agreed with the demarcations for the work related to the median strip, as shown in Table 4.2-1.

Table 4.2-1 Demarcations for the work related to the median strip

Items Ethiopian side Contractor side Remove obstacles and all trees prior to the  installation work of conduit system

Demolish existing median strips 

Restore the median strips as the original 

Subsequently, the route of each section, features thereof, and summary of consultation with the counterparts are described.

4.2.1 Section 1 A single circuit of 132kV cable will be installed for the connection between the Black Lion substation and the new Addis Centre substation, with a route length of 1,950m. Fig. 4.2-1 shows the route map.

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) will be introduced in Addis Ababa city. Fig. 4.2-2 shows the completed image of BRT. As a result, the route which does not run parallel or crosses with the BRT is selected for this section. Ras Lulseged Street (B) is suitable for the route because the street has a wide median strip as shown in Fig. 4.2-3. The influence on the traffic caused by the installation work may be minimized by burying the conduit system under it.

On the other hand, this route will traverse the Mexican Square (A) which is a roundabout with a heavy traffic volume. In addition to the elevated railway called as LRT, an underpass crosses the Mexico Square in the east-west direction. The issue of the route is how to traverse the underpass. The City Planning is of the opinion that the issue is a matter to be consulted with the Road Authority. Fig. 4.2-4 shows the current situation around Mexico Square.

Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and 4-20 Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 4 Final Report Results of Site Survey

There are three methods to traverse the underpass. One is to install conduit pipes by excavation method in the roadbed of the bridge-shaped road which passes above the underpass as shown in Fig. 4.2-5. According to the field survey, the Black Lion roadbed has a thickness as small as 1 m. Taking into account Substation these conditions, a damage to the road caused by the excavation work may lead to a big accident. Therefore, the B2 excavation method is excluded from the candidates. (A) The second is to install the conduit pipes under the underpass by a propulsion method. Fig. 4.2-6 shows the situation of the underpass at the time of construction. The height from the ground to the base structure is estimated to (B) be 10 m. There are two ways to traverse the underpass at a deep point. One is to prepare two shafts with the required Africa Union depth and to dig horizontally from the bottom of the departure shaft. The other method is to dig a curved tunnel from a shallow trench. Depending on the digging distance, the former does not require a high performance machine if New Addis the operators have extensive experience. However some Center Substation

peculiar cable design, cable laying work and cable Legend maintenance are required, due to the vertical structure of the Underground cable route BRT(Bus rapid transit) route shafts. On the other hand, although the latter requires high technique and quality machines and operators, there are no Fig. 4.2-1 Route map of the issues with respect to the depth of shaft. In any case, the section 1 propulsion method requires high cost, long work period compared with the open excavate method.

Fig. 4.2-4 Mexico Square Fig. 4.2-5 Bridge-shaped road

The third method is to traverse the underpass by a cable bridge, which is inexpensive compared to the propulsion method. Fig. 4.2-7 shows a schematic diagram of the cable bridge traversing the underpass. The Road Authority has recommended the propulsion method and not the cable bridge method, as the bridge can possibly spoil the scenery around the Mexico Square which is the center of the city. Therefore, the cable bridge cannot be adopted unless the Road Authority approves the design including its looks. Considering the opinions of the Road Authority, the feasibility study is carried out under the condition that the propulsion method is applied for traversing the Mexico Square.

Even if the cable bridge is adopted, in order to alleviate traffic jams due to the installation of the conduit system, it is necessary to apply the propulsion method to the road parts, at both ends of the cable bridge.

Fig. 4.2-6 Underpass at the time of Fig. 4.2-7 Schematic diagram of a cable bridge construction

Fig. 4.2-8 shows the current condition of BBL. Six conduit pipes and six sets of sealing ends have been prepared for Addis West substation - BLL lines. The location of our sealing ends will be on the back side of the capacitor yard surrounded by fences. In the JICA project, the cables will be laid in a trench which will be dug inside the BLL site instead of a conduit pipe, in order to reduce the retraction tension and side pressure applied on the cable by the laying work.

4.2.2 Section 2 Double circuits of 132kV cable will be installed for the connection between the new Addis Centre substation and the connecting point with the overhead line adjacent to the Gofa substation, which has a route length of 4,285m. Fig. 4.2-9 shows the route map. The yellow dashed line is the route agreed by the City Planning. However, since an underpass related to BRT project will be constructed at the intersection (B) on the route, the City Planning has requested us to discuss with the Road Authority.

Therefore, before discussing with the Road Authority, opinions of the Transport Authority, which is in charge of the BRT project, were confirmed. The Transport Authority has a plan to install the BRT passing through Tanzania Street (A) which is a part of the route agreed with the Road Authority. Because of the heavy traffic on the road, the Transport Authority is concerned that the traffic jam caused by the installation work of the cable system will interfere with the operation of the LRT. However, there were no objections and comments from the Transport Authority regarding the alternative route proposed by JICA which passes through Alexander Pushkin street (C) and the rural road (C '), instead of Tanzania Street.

The discussion with the Road Authority was held following the meeting. The Road Authority has shown understanding about the concern and has agreed with the alternative route. EEP and the JICA survey team agreed with the interesting suggestion made by the Road Authority that it will

4-23 Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 4 Results of Site Survey Final Report

allow the installation of the cable system under the walkway New Addis on the south side of Alexander Pushkin Street which will be Center Substation expanded next year. The Road Authority has to secure the B2 space under the walkway as free space. (C’)

On the other hand, since the Transport Authority refuses to B7 (A) excavate the BRT lanes, the propulsion method should be (D) applied to the intersections (D and F) crossing the BRT. (C) However, the conduit depth is assumed to be a maximum of (B) 5m which is shallow compared with that of the Mexican (E) square. B3 The rural road (C ') will be expanded in future too. Since the (F) Road Authority showed the plan where the road surface will be shaved by 1.3m for the road expansion work, the JICA survey team proposed to install the conduit pipes at a depth of (E’) 2m and the Road Authority has agreed with it. In addition, the road (C ') has a river crossing point as shown Tower (G) in Fig. 4.2-10. However, the thickness of the bridge is so less Gofa S/S that it cannot be buried. Considering that the bridge may be Legend reconstructed in the road expansion project, the cable bridge Underground cable route should be applied to attach the conduit pipes to the existing Underground cable route (Canceled) bridge. BRT(Bus rapid transit) route

The roads (E and E ') also have expansion plan and the Fig. 4.2-9 Route map of the construction is under progress in some parts of the roads as section2 shown in Fig. 4.2-11.

Since the compound of the EEP is present in the north side of the Gofa substation, the route has been changed to a straight route instead of a detour route passing through the road (G). Fig. 4.2-12 shows the current situation at the north side of the Gofa substation. The candidate site for the New Addis Centre substation is on the left side of the picture. On the right side of the road is the EEP's compound where the football field and the warehouses exist.

4.2.3 Section 3

Double circuits of 132kV cable will be installed for the connection between the Weregenu Tower substation and the connecting point of the St. Mary’s church overhead line adjacent to the St. Mary’s church, and the route length is 3,540m. Fig. 4.2-13 shows the route. There was no comment on the proposed routes from the City Planning. Weregenu Substation Fig. 4.2-14 shows the current situation around the connecting point of overhead lines which is close Legend to St. Mary’s church. The underground cables Underground cable route

will be connected to the overhead lines at the new tower which will be erected beside the existing Fig. 4.2-13 Route map of the section 3 tower. From the sealing ends, the cables will be laid in a trench to the boundary of the compound. Because of the narrow space around the boundary, the wall between the shed and the shop might have to be removed partly during the work period. The cables in the conduit pipes will go under the roadway via the crossing point along the sewerage.

Fig. 4.2-15 shows the three bridges on the route. There are two types of bridges, one bridge is like bridge 1 and bridge 3, which has soil heaped on the concrete body, and is finished with asphalt. The other is like bridges 3 which is completely made of concrete. According to the Road Authority,

4-25 Preparatory Survey on Addis Ababa Transmission and Distribution System Rehabilitation and Upgrading Project Chapter 4 Results of Site Survey Final Report

if it is of the former type, installation of the conduit pipes by excavation can be allowed, but for the latter type, works such as excavation or penetration cannot be allowed. This is because the works may affect the strength of the bridge.

In order to avoid passing through bridge 2, it is necessary to attach the conduit pipes on the side of the bridge or install a cable bridge. But it is difficult to take these countermeasures because many obstacles under the sidewalk would prevent the conduit pipes from crossing the sidewalk.

An idea for passing through the bridge was proposed during the discussion with the Road Authority, which was the method to lay the conduit pipes protected with concrete material on the bridge after shaving the median strip of the bridge.

4.3 SUBSTATION There are six substations which have been requested for upgrade/installation by the EEP. They are as follows;

- Addis Centre substation : whole replacement of 132kV BSP substations using new site

- Black Lion substation: newly install 132kV transmission line bay for new ADC substation

- Kaliti-I substation: newly install 132kV transmission line bay for new ADC substation

- Gofa Substation: newly install 132kV transmission line bay

- Weregenu substation: newly install 132kV transmission line bay and 1 unit of 132/33 kV power transformer including transformer bay

- Addis North substation: Replacement of 2 units of 132/15kV power transformers and 132kV switchgear

Generally, if a certain substation is upgraded/installed, it is necessary to refurbish the opposite side substation(s), with repairs to protection relay, current transformer, communication system, etc.

Therefore, JICA Study Team carried out field survey not just for the above six stations but for twelve (12) substations including opposite side substations and temporary substations, related to this project. Each substation’s location, outline and planned project scope are shown in Fig. 4.3-1 and Table 4.3-1. The current situation of each substation is described in the following section.

4.3.1 Existing Addis Centre Substation Existing Addis Centre Substation (hereinafter called “Existing ADC”) is a 132/15kV BSP located in the center of Addis Ababa city. ADC substation supplies electricity to important customers such as African Union and Palace. It is one of the most important substations in Ethiopia and a high reliability is required.

ADC substation has been supplied with electricity from KALI substation through 132kV single overhead transmission line. ADC substation is composed of single 132kV bus and three units of 132/15kV power transformer. The main 15 kV bus bar is supplied by two 132/15 kV 25/31.5 MVA transformers operating in parallel, and a temporary 132/15 kV 12 MVA transformer (T3) which supplies to one feeder connected to the 15 kV bus bar located in the old switch room.

4.3.2 Temporary Addis Centre Substation Currently, the construction of a new headquarter for the EEP, in the southeast side of the Mexico square, is under consideration. Existing ADC substation will be moved to the south of the existing substation as temporary substation because the existing transmission tower connected to ADC substation and part of ADC substation’s equipment will obstruct the construction of the new headquarter.

Temporary Addis Centre Substation (hereinafter called “Temporary ADC”) will be supplied by KALI substation using existing overhead transmission line. However, as mentioned before, the existing transmission line connected to the existing ADC substation will obstruct the construction of the new headquarter.

According to the EEP, temporary ADC substation consists of only one 132/15kV 50MVA power transformer and 132kV switchgear, 15kv metal cubicle, control room, auxiliary transformer, etc. Because of the limit of power supply from one power transformer, power demand over 50 MVA will be shifted to neighboring substations such as BLL substation.

4.3.3 New Addis Centre Substation Planning Site for New Addis Centre Substation (hereinafter called “New ADC”) is located to the south of African Union. As described in the above clause, construction of new ADC substation is a critical project to build reliable power system for Addis Ababa Capital Region.

The new site for ADC substation belongs to Addis Ababa City Government. EEP would be provided with this site from the Authority. Detailed information about acquisition procedures for this site is described in another section.

According to relevant reports and discussion with EEP, the final layout of new ADC substation would compose of 132kV three transmission line bay from KALI and BLL substation, and five power transformers which are 3 units of 132/15kV 40/50MVA and 2 units of 132/33kV 40/50MVA.

4.4 DISTRIBUTION NETWORK As it mentioned before, EEU recognizes the necessity to urgently repair the distribution facilities, because of the remarkable deterioration of distribution equipment, as well as, the insufficient equipment management. But they don’t have detailed information about facilities which require urgent repair. Therefore, in this survey, we surveyed the on-site equipment situation through local sub-contractor in order to collect the data, which is necessary for rough design of expansion work and the rehabilitation work of the existing distribution facilities. Details of this survey are described in Section 4.4.1 to 4.4.3. In addition, the arrangements with EEU regarding the scope of this project are described in Section 4.4.4.

4.4.1 Collect the Date of Existing Facilities (1) Collect the Date of Existing Facilities JICA study team collected data of the existing facilities such as transformers and conductors owned by EEU, as a basic information, for conducting survey of the medium voltage line and distribution transformer. In addition to this, JICA study team gathered information such as offer history from customers and so on, which contribute to the overload estimation of distribution transformers.

As a result of collecting the existing data, it can be noted that the facility management situation of the EEU is worse than what was initially assumed by the JICA study team. And, it was found that the reference information obtained from the EEP project office before the start of the survey, especially the information regarding the distribution transformer has not been updated and is too outdated for use.

For this reason, for the medium voltage line, basic information for equipment investigation was confirmed through the several surveys of the on-site distribution power system conducted by the sub-contractor and by consultation with the EEU. Therefore, during the investigation of the medium voltage line, it was deemed that it was necessary to collect and update information of all distribution transformers.

On the other hand, although the JICA study team obtained the overload transformer list from the load measurement, which was independently carried by EEU due to the request from the customer, it is noted that these data do not contain detailed information such as installation location, and the renovation situation has not been grasped. Furthermore, contrary to our expectations, it was also found that the low-voltage side information (consumers, low-voltage conductor, etc.) of the distribution transformer was not managed at all.

For this reason, we decided to determine the draft design and calculate the project cost by grasping the utilization situation of the transformer, based on the load measurement data obtained through local sub-contractor.

(2) Confirmation of the Scope of the Survey Feeders In the Addis Ababa metropolitan area, since multiple projects are being executed in parallel, JICA study team confirmed the scope of the investigation with each EEU region manager at the initial stage of this survey, so that the scope of JICA project does not overlap with other projects,. In addition, in order to eliminate the possibility of overlapping of the construction scope due to the progress of other projects, JICA study team reorganized the scope of the project which overlaps with other projects, as a preparatory work, before the start of survey by the local sub-contractor.

Prior to the commencement of survey, an on-site confirmation of investigation scope was carried out by the investigator of the sub-contractor company, and it was found that in some target areas of Item B, the construction of concrete pole was carried out by other donors near the targeted medium voltage distribution line. Fig. 4.4-1 shows a photograph of the site, where new concrete poles have been are recently installed on the opposite side of the road which has wooden poles on one side.

New concrete poles Constructed by other donors

Fig. 4.4-1 The situation of work by other donors

JICA Study Team determined to exclude a total of 4 feeders from the scope of Item B, which falls in the scope of work of other donors as described above. On the other hand, three feeders were added in the target because some feeders of the original target were divided by network configuration. After that, JICA Study Team confirmed with EEU / EEP and agreed with this reorganization. Table 4.4-1compares the list of target feeders before and after the arrangement.

4.4.2 Investigation of Medium Voltage Feeders (1) Contents of Investigation of Medium Voltage Feeders In order to grasp the rehabilitation quantity of the medium voltage lines in Item B and C, the investigation of the deterioration situation of the poles, electric conductor and pole equipment of the medium-voltage distribution line in the field was conducted by the sub-contractor. The survey method was mainly based on visual inspection, and the survey team was made of 3 teams with 2 to 3 members in each team, and the survey scope was divided. The researchers were personnel familiar with local electric power facilities, such as retirees of EEP and EEU etc. Table 4.4-2 shows survey items and evaluation methods at the time of equipment survey.

(2) Survey Result of Medium Voltage Feeders Survey results of the medium-voltage line, conducted by the sub-contractor are shown in Table 4.4-3. In the ‘necessary work’ field of the table, reconstruction of poles is recorded when one or more of the following is confirmed: tilting, cracking, bad foundation. Likewise, the electric wire replacement is recorded, when one or more of the following is confirmed: damage of conductor, insufficient separation of each phase, connection failure. Replacement of the pole mounted facilities is recorded when one or more of the following is confirmed: insulator failure, pin failure, hook failure. However, since there are cases where multiple construction is required for one facility, the total number of necessary constructions does not necessarily match to the number of target facilities.

Based on the results of this survey, it was found that about 80% of the surveyed poles are wooden, and more than 60% of these has necessity to be reconstructed. Analysis of breakdown factors of wooden poles, revealed that, the percentage of basic failure was high in almost all distribution lines. Table 4.4-4shows the breakdown of failure factors of wooden poles, in the typical distribution line of Item B. From this fact, it is expected that deterioration will start from base failure and progress further, even if there no tilting or cracking at present. So most of the wooden poles have the risk of collapse.

4.4.3 Investigation of Distribution Transformer (1) Contents of Investigation of Distribution Transformer In order to grasp the amount of the transformers in Item A, B, C, the sub-contractor investigated the situation of the pole where the transformer is installed, and investigated the transformer body and load situation. The survey method involved visual inspection, and additionally, a simple measurement of the load current was done, as it will be used as a raw data for estimating the load state. Table 4.4-5 shows the survey items and confirmation method, at the time of facility survey. Also, just like the survey of medium-voltage line, the team involved in this survey was composed of personnel familiar with local electric power facilities, such as retirees of EEP and EEU etc.

In addition, a detailed load measurement was carried for one week on 20 transformers sampled from Item A, in order to prepare the standard load curve required for judging the load condition of the transformer.

(2) Result of Investigating the Status of Distribution Transformer Based on the field survey result, it was found that more than 80% of the poles where the transformer is installed, are made of wood in Item A, B, and C. It was observed that many of these poles have defects such as tilting, cracking, and bad foundation. And because of this, it was confirmed that reconstruction should be considered when the poles is made of wood.

In addition, JICA Study Team organized data on detailed load measurement for one week in Item A and grasped the current status. Table 4.4-6 summarizes the detailed load measurement results, and Fig. 4.4-3 shows an example of the measurement results. As a result, it can be noted that there are a lot of transformers which are constantly overloaded showing with a large overload (maximum utilization rate is 151%) and having a utilization rate close to the overload. And it also confirmed that the transformers showing a relatively low utilization ratio of about 40% are those, whose capacity has been increased in the recent years, and it means that such equipment may have been repaired by other projects.

4.4.4 Reorganization of the Project Scope After the completion of sub-contractor’s survey, conflicts with other projects such as AfDB were again confirmed. As a result, JICA study team confirmed that the distribution feeder reconfiguration is planned with the AfDB portion of AADMP for the Debre Zeit area, where TSS system was planned to install with item C of JICA project. However, implementation of feeder reconfiguration was also planned in JICA project to maximize the introduction effect of TSS system, in addition to simple rehabilitation such as rehabilitation of Item B.

Fig. 4.4-4 shows the relevant part of the AfDB project in the JICA project concerning the Debre Zeit area. In the AfDB project, there is a plan to install new underground line (the green line in the figure) from the newly established Debre Zeit III substation to the existing distribution feeder, and to reconductor the existing distribution feeder, which has to be connected (the red line in the figure). On consultation with the EEU, it is agreed to cancel the AfDB portion for this area and implement the feeder reconfiguration in JICA project, because the reconductor work part was overlapping with the rehabilitation work of JICA project.

Regarding the details of feeder reconfiguration in Debre Zeit area, it is recommended to reconsider it during detailed design and study the optimum configuration.

5.2 GEOLOGICAL INSPECTION RESULT AND CONSIDERATION OF FOUNDATION TYPE

The following relations between N-value “N” and allowable bearing capacity of ground “qa” based on experiential data* can be applied;

2 Gravel layer: qa = 5N [kN/m ]

2 Sand layer: qa = 10N [kN/m ]

2 Clay soil layer: qa = (25~50)N [kN/m ]

In general, a favorable ground with depth of more than 3m can be considered as a supporting layer for spread foundation. An allowable bearing capacity of 50 to 100 kN/m2 or more is usually required for the spread foundation of transmission line tower. While an allowable bearing capacity of 100 to 200 kN/m2 or more is usually required for the spread foundation of substation equipment. From the above, the spread foundation can be applied on the condition that the ground which obtains allowable bearing capacity of the above-mentioned value extends to a depth of 3m. Otherwise, the ground replacement method, which reinforces the soft ground with good quality soil, or other countermeasures will be considered.

In the following, results of the geological inspection and expected foundation types are described. As for the detail results of drillings, refer to Appendix 1.

Borehole No. S-1 and S-2 (BH-1 and BH-2 as shown in the above figures), located in the new construction site, are being examined herein. N values of the silty clay layer or clayey silt layer, under the surface soil, were recorded in the range of 4 and 6, whereas, the allowable bearing capacity was estimated to be 100-150 kN/m2. It is assumed that it is not suitable for spread foundations, for the heavy equipment of the substations, as it is a soft ground, and the ground shall, therefore, be improved by partially excavating or displacing problematic geomaterials, which will be replaced with better-quality filling. The improved ground will be suitable for spread foundations, for the heavy equipment of the substations. However, the type of foundations shall be determined based on the actual weight of equipment, upon further investigation.

The layer which consisted mainly of silty clay extended to a depth of 4.65 m below the ground level. The N values of the layer were recorded in the range of 5 and 7, whereas, the allowable bearing capacity was estimated to be 125-175 kN/m2. N values of the lower layers which consisted of clayey or sandy silt were recorded to be 30-50. Therefore, it can be concluded that the ground is suitable for spread foundations for the transmission line towers.

The surface layer which consisted mainly of compacted backfill materials extended to a depth of 3.0 m below the ground level. N values of the layer were recorded to be more than 30 and, moreover, the N values of the lower rock layers were recorded to be more than 50. From the above, it can be concluded that the ground is suitable for spread foundations, for the transmission line towers.
