14. Paterson: Restore 4 Breakers
Scenario:
Paterson substation was flooded during Hurricane Katrina resulting in all major transmission equipment being damaged. Prior to Katrina, Paterson 115kV bus terminated four 115kv transmission lines and operated as a hub for the transmission system in the New Orleans area. Presently, the Paterson 115kV bus has been temporarily restored to operate in a split, east / west bus configuration. The east bus is in series with the Chalmette 115kV and the Sherwood Forest 115kV substations.
The west bus is in series with the Claiborne 115kV and the Pontchartrain Park 115kV substations. Various single contingencies in the New Orleans area result in overloads on portions of this west bus circuit.
Recommended Solution:
Re-build the Paterson 115kV substation to terminate four 115kV transmission lines from Pontchartrain Park, Sherwood Forest, Chalmette and Claiborne.

20. Loblolly-Hammond: Construct 230 kV Substation and Line
Scenario:
Entergy’s transmission system north of Lake Pontchartrain is primarily supported from the ELL 230kV system between Willow Glen and Waterford.
Loss of the Franklin-McKnight 500kV line, or certain other transmission contingencies, causes overloads on the underlying transmission system, primarily on the Gypsy-Madisonville 230kV line.
Adding another 230kV source from a location north of Willow Glen reduces loading on the existing system and improves load serving capability north of Lake Pontchartrain and into south Mississippi.
Recommended Solution:
Construct a new 230 kV line from Loblolly to Hammond utilizing the existing Coly to Hammond 69 kV line (constructed for 230kV).

Scenario:
The primary transmission sources to lower Lafourche, Lower Jefferson, and Plaquemines Parishes are the Ninemile and Valentine substations. Additionally, upper Plaquemines Parish, including Belle Chasse and the Naval Air Support facility, is experiencing growth after Hurricane Katrina.
For the contingency loss of the Ninemile-Barataria 115kV or the Valentine-Clovelly 115kV lines, potential low voltages and line overloads will occur.
Construction of a new 230 kV source into the area will provide the additional thermal capacity needed to serve the Alliance area.
Recommended Solution:
Peters Road-Oakville 230kV
Build a new 230kV substation at Oakville and a new radial 230kV line from Peters Road to Oakville Substation.

Replace the autotransformer with a system spare 138/69 kV, 45 MVA unit, located at Meaux substation in Louisiana.
Add two 138 kV breakers to ensure reliable operation
Proposed In-Service Date: Winter 2009 17

67. Porter-Tamina: Replace Breaker/Switches
Scenario:
138 kV Line 823/886 (Porter – Tamina - Cedar Hill) is one of the primary sources into Montgomery County.
The single contingency loss of 138 kV Line 582 (Oak Ridge - Porter) causes thermal overloads on 138 kV Line 823 (Porter to Tamina).
Recommended Solution:
Upgrade station equipment at Tamina, including a breaker, switches, and bus, to bring rating of Line 823 Porter-Tamina up to 478 MVA capacity.
Proposed In-Service Date: Winter 2009

68. Porter-Tamina: Replace Breaker/Switches
UPGRADE TO 478 MVA CAPACITY BY REPLACING TAMINA EQUIPMENT
Proposed ISD Winter 2009

69. College Station Tap: Close N.O. Switch
Scenario:
The single contingency outage of the Grimes-Navasota 138kV line causes overloads along the Lewis Creek-Longmire 138kV line, as well as undervoltages along the Navasota-Longmire 138kV line.
Recommended Solution:
Close the normally-open switch between Speedway 138kV and the College Station 138kV tap to bring another path from Grimes into Navasota
Proposed In-Service Date: Winter 2010
* Project has been delayed due to feasibility of implementing a three terminal operating configuration. A three-breaker switching station at College Station is being investigated as an alternative solution. 17
