Upgrade Facilities. The System Upgrade Facilities (“SUF”) shall include the following equipment, as illustrated in Figures A-1 and A-2. The SUF’s for Phase 1 of the Project consist of Relay Panels and associated equipment. The SUFs for Phase 2 of the Project include (i) the addition of GIS equipment (ii) approximately one hundred fifty (150) total feet of 345KV, 3000 amps GIS bus which will connect to existing GIS bus containing disconnect and ground switches; (iii) approximately 12 elbows, 3 misalignment joints, 3 gas/air bushings and required structures for bus and bushing supports; and (iv) the necessary removal, addition or modifications to the existing structural steel termination and accessories stand at the Astoria Annex Substation allowing the Developer transmission expansion to interconnect to the point. The GIS bus section between breakers 3 and 5 will continue to conform to the following existing technical specifications: Rated Voltage - 362kV; Rated Interrupting Rating - 63kA; Rated Current - 3000A; Rated 60 Hz. Withstand - 555kV; Rated BIL in the pressurized SF6 housing - 1050kV; Rated BIL across any open contacts – 1300kV; Rated Test Voltage Withstand for Pothead Compartments – 540kVDC for 15 minutes. All electrical components associated with installation of new 345kV feeder, will be SF6 GIS design. The installation will require a penetration to the Astoria Annex wall and the Developer will restore the Astoria Annex wall in a manner satisfactory to the Connecting Transmission Owner. Surge Arrestors, if installed, must be done with the review and approval of the Connecting Transmission Owner (capability rating to be determined at the conclusion of an on-going technical switching surge analysis). As required, and with NYPA’s approval, the GIS equipment supplier will provide platforms to the GIS equipment view ports, gas pressure gauges, and related equipment to ensure easy future safe personnel access and maintenance. The platforms design shall adhere to the OSHA requirements. The following are details regarding the protection and control equipment required at the Astoria Annex Substation: Existing metering and protection current transformers will be utilized. Two relay protection panels will be installed consisting of new control, supervisory and protection equipment along with all wiring, terminations and raceways. The existing relay room layout will be modified to provide space for the installation of two relay panels associated with Developer’s new 345kV to 13...
