Remedial action schemes are required to achieve the rated transfer<br />

capability. Following an outage, all overloaded lines and transformers<br />

must have their loadings reduced to continuous ratings within 15 minutes.<br />

This is accomplished by reducing schedules, lowering local generation or<br />

manually tripping a lower voltage parallel path. For overloading on the<br />

Nucla-Cahone 115 kV line, which could be due to the Montrose-Hesperus<br />

345 kV or Curecanti-Lost Canyon 230 kV contingencies, among others, the<br />

Montrose-Nucla 115 kV transmission line may be automatically tripped<br />

depending on the loading on the Nucla-Cahone 115 kV line. This automatic<br />

transfer trip scheme is normally enabled. If it is disabled, then real-time<br />

transfer capability limits are calculated using local load and local<br />

generation as input variables.<br />

There is a formal operating procedure dated September 14, 2011. WAPA-<br />

Loveland is the operating agent and uses real-time flows to monitor the<br />

path.<br />

The transfer capability of the path is divided between WAPA, Public<br />

Service Company of Colorado and Tri-State G&T.<br />
