Purpose: This attachment is provided to model the anticipated electrical distribution system required to support the conversion of Indian Point Units 2 and 3 to a closed loop condenser cooling water configuration using ETAP 7.0.0C electrical analysis software. This analysis will account for the expected electrical parasitic losses due to the new components required for the proposed cooling towers. The following documents are included in this attachment (for Indian Point 2 and Indian Point 3):

138kV One Line Distribution with short-circuit contributions One Line Distribution for 6.9kV and below with expected parasitic loads ETAP Load Flow results for Full-Load Hybrid Operation and Wet Load Operation ETAP Short Circuit results showing fault contributions from each bus

Methodology: Analytical evaluations for the anticipated distribution system required to power the proposed cooling towers were done by the use of ETAP 7.0.0C. The ETAP model that was used in the 2003 study was converted from ETAP version 4.0.4C to the latest version, 7.0.0C. The converted model was used as the basis for this analysis and modified to incorporate the changes included in this study. For the model incorporated in this study, the grid impedance could not be obtained from transmission analysis of the Buchanan 138kV line and therefore the grid impedance from the previous study will be used as shown in Table 1. Short-Circuit and Load Flow analyses were performed to project the plant available short-circuit contributions and estimate the power demand using load flow and voltage drop case runs for the proposed towers. The evaluations are presented as ETAP output reports with the following configurations: Load Flow

Load Flow and Voltage Drop of the tower fan and circulating water pumps at full-load representative of the Hybrid Operation of Wet Fans, Dry Fans, and Booster Pumps. This configuration is the most conservative case as it incorporates all loads running simultaneously. Results for this configuration are shown in the Load Flow reports under the Full Load case run. Load Flow and Voltage Drop of the tower fan and circulating water pump loads at the reduced load representative of wet cycle fans and circulating water pumps only. Results for this configuration are shown in the Load Flow reports under the Wet Load case run. Short Circuit contributions for the Buchanan-138kV Bus are based on the grid short-circuit ratings from 2003 along with the contribution from the loads downstream of the 138/6.9kV transformers. The short-circuit ETAP results for the Buchanan-

138kV bus are shown on page 73 of the ETAP Short-Circuit output report and are included in the One Line Distribution shown on page 4 of this analysis.

Short-Circuit contributions with each bus faulted for Unit 2 and Unit 3 proposed cooling tower loads (6.9kV and lower). This configuration also shows contributions from parasitic loads (booster pumps, wet fans, and dry fans) as well.

Table 1: Short-Circuit ratings for Buchanan 138kV utility MVAsc X/R kAsc 3Phase 3998 31.25 16.726 1Phase 1132 11.84 4.736 Assumptions: The software model was developed and run using the following assumed parameters:

Motors, cables, and transformer characteristics were sized based upon preliminary vendor information of tower configuration and required horsepower. Subsequent analytical parameters were assumed based upon the standard or typical values available in the software database for the input size of each component. The 138kV Buchanan Substation parameters including grid voltage, short-circuit rating, and impedance is taken from the previous study done in 2003. It is anticipated that the grid impedance did not change from 2003 to 2009 and it is expected to improve, therefore the grid ratings used in this analysis are conservative and acceptable for this study. The fans for dry cycle cooling were either assumed to be on at full load (350HP) during nominal conditions, or off during wet cycle only conditions. Reduction in parasitic load due to the variable speed dry cycle fan motors is not considered directly in this analysis, rather, it is accounted for in the percent of the time the tower is assumed to be in either full load or wet cycle only conditions.

Results: The voltage drop and load flow output reports show that both cases (Wet Load and Full Load) are within the positive and negative 10% range for the rated bus voltages per the recommendations of IEEE 241-1990. This includes the alerts shown for the Full Load and Wet Load configurations which show bus voltages above and below the bus rated values. The short-circuit analysis results for all faulted buses is shown starting on page 73 of the Short-Circuit output in Section 4. The one-line diagram on page 4 shows the fault contribution for the 138kV Buchanan line down to the 6.9kV

buses and Unit 2 and 3 tower loads distribution. Reviewing the one line diagrams, the current load on the faulted buses by IPEC is 16.73 kA. The additional loads added by conversion to closed-loop cooling would increase this load by 1.75kA, or approximately 10%. Per discussions with site personnel, the faulted bus has a capacity on the order of 60kA, supplying significant margin against a short-circuit event. Due to the magnitude of this margin, and due to the relatively small increase of load, no modifications to the switchyard would be expected by conversion of IPEC to closed-loop cooling; however, additional electrical distribution analysis would be required in the detailed design phase to completely ensure adequate margin is present.
