The terms of reference is specified in Section 24.4 (a) (iv) of the Owner's Requirements as follows: * calculations of surge and lightning protection characteristics, and demonstration of equipment protection. The study examines the adequacy of protective margin of equipment BIL level specified in the OR in conjunction with the characteristic of the surge arrester to be chosen for the protection of the following equipment: a) 230 KV gas insulated switchgear (GIS) b) The 230/13.8 kV, 117/156/195 MVA generator step up transformers — ¢) The 186 MVA generators» d) The 15 kV switchgear including the generator breaker, isolated bus duct (IPB) and the station service switchgear The transmission line insulation coordination is not part of this study. -<}- METHODOLOGY Classical method is used in the study. However, due to the complexity in analyzing the incident and reflection surge voltage entering the GIS, an electromagnetic transient program (EMTP) is used to study the overvoltage on the 230 KV switchgear and transformer due to a lightning strike on the transmission line. The following standards are used in the study. Complete citations can be found in Appendix B: 1.
