Transmission
Transmission stability and reliability are the dominant electric power development issues throughout the nation. An ongoing, comprehensive review of the power flow of the Mid-Continent Area Power Pool region is being conducted by ABB Power Technology. Their analyses will identify any additions and improvements necessary to absorb the increases in power generated by a new plant.
The first phase of this study has identified an export route that will service the additional generation and enhance reliability. Site-specific analysis and recommendations regarding line losses and stability issues will be made as the project develops. System operation will also be studied to recommend any necessary solutions to bottlenecks, should any occur, that would hinder proper operation.
