minutes were unanimously approved as amended.
7. NEW BUSINESS
A. Status of Instability and Control Response Project — Hickey
Brian Hickey stated that with the help of ML&P, Chugach, and Homer Electric, the data
acquisition system has been designed. The parts arrived and it would be assembled in
the next couple of weeks. The Woodward governor is up and data acquisition boards
have been installed. We have received one deliverable from EPS defining the deflector
power curves in the unit in the PSSE software and they are working on the other two
deliverables. We believe they will be done by the July 31*' deadline. We do anticipate
doing unit testing in late July and are developing a test plan.
In response to Mr. Saxton, Mr. Hickey stated that the range of alternatives is between
the wholesale replacement of the governors to modification. He noted that this would
come back to the PMC in September with the testing results.
Mr. Hickey also noted that the costs of those alternatives are still in the range of what
was discussed before.
B. Update — Construction Punchlist - McCrohan
Mr. McCrohan stated that he had asked the O&D Committee to review and provide the PMC
with a status report.

7. NEW BUSINESS
A. Status of Instability and Control Response Project - Hickey B. Request to Increase Funding to Continue Studies Associated ail
With Project - Hickey
Using a slide presentation, Mr. Hickey provided an update on the status of Me of yh
instability issue, including a recap of the history commencing with voltage problems in! Kenai‘in
1996. He noted that ever since Bradley had been commissioned, they xperienced electrical
instability problems with the plant. He described various studies they had conducted and
improvements that had been made in an attempt to correct the instability problems. Using various
pieces of correspondence from years past, Mr. Hickey highlighted outages and load sheds that had
occurred and the analyses and modeling programs that had been developed to study these events
in order to determine the cause. He stated that on January 14, 1997, the PMC had approved
funding for Items 1, 2, and 3 of the O&D Subcommittee's action plan for correction of the instability
problems at Bradley Lake.
Mr. Hickey said O&D Subcommittee was supposed to come before the PMC at the completion of
Action Plan Items 1, 2, and 3, and the presentation he was giving today was the O&D
Subcommittee's revised action plan. He noted that Item 1 had been completed. He said there
remained additional work to be done on Item 2, and he gave the details regarding the deflector
time delays addressed in Item 3. He said Items 3(d), (e), and (f) have not been completed. He
said that the original completion date for Items 1, 2, and 3 had been July 31, 1997, but due to delays in awarding the RFP and the magnitude of the scope of the simulation had delayed the final
report so that they are approximately six months behind schedule. He said that due to the
Bradley Lake Project Management Committee Meeting Meeting Minutes
March 20, 1998 Page 3
inconsistency of system instability events, they had to experiment with the model and stability
factors until they were able to reproduce the oscillations that were present when the system lost stability, yh Lily
Mr. Hickey said that on February 2, 1998, they had been given a pfésentatio by industry
representatives on machine testing, and the next day they had held a‘roundtable meeting and
brainstorming session.
Mr. Hickey said to date, the PMC had approved two funding sources for work related to Bradley
instability, one being Construction List Item 18, the system analysis equipment, and Items 1, 2, and
3 of the O&D Subcommittee's Instability Action Plan. Mr. Hickey briefly reported on the system
analysis equipment budget and the Instability Action Plan budget. He said they would be asking
the PMC to approve installation of the system analysis equipment at Bradley Lake instead of at
Daves Creek in Soldotna, which was fhavioux\ seni approved by the PMC.
Mr. Hickey said they had identified the 750-millisecond oscillation and determined that it is unique
to Bradley Lake. They had benchmarked the events, evaluated the speed records and time
delays, and developed an accurate model of the tunnel to determine if oscillations inside it had any
impact on the instability problems. He also described a couple of quirks in the system, which limit
the control response that had been discovered. He said they would be requesting funding to
determine what the deflector position error was and how it was impacting the problem. He said
they had verified that the PSSE settings are reasonable.
Mr. Hickey said change in scope will be required because some of the work that is now needed
was not anticipated in 1997. He said the change in scope of work consisted of accurately
measuring the actual deflector positions and the hydraulic pressure that drives the governors. He
also said that outside the Bradley plant, there are parts of the PSSE model which do not accurately
reflect the railbelt power system, and they would need to address programming issues related to
AGC control, capacity based on unit temperature, and overspeed.
Mr. Hickey summarized by saying that work that still needs to be done includes correcting the
PSSE, developing a formal machine testing plan to collect the parameterization data, and moving
the system monitoring equipment originally destined for Daves Creek to Bradley Lake. He said the
cost for these three items of additional work consisted of: $43,600 for the PSSE model work and
$40,000 for machine testing assistance. So the total increase in funding required to complete
Items 1, 2, 3, and 4 in their entirety would be approximately $83,600. He noted that this would
increase the original anticipated budget from $299,000 to $382,000 for this phase of the work. He
said they intended to complete the PSSE revisions by July 31, 1998, and they would like to have
the machine testing plan completed by July 1st and perform the testing by July 31st. Mr. Hickey said they would review the data they had gathered in August and would come back before the
PMC in September with the test results. He said at that time, if their current simulations are
accurate, he believed they would be able to make recommendations for changes to the control system that will eliminate the instability problem. Based on their current knowledge, Mr. Hickey gave a range of recommendations and costs for completing them that may be presented to the
PMC in September.
Bradley Lake Project Management Committee Meeting Meeting Minutes
March 20, 1998 Page 4
Mr. Hickey responded to questions and discussion was heard.
Mr. Hickey noted that additional items of the Instability Action Plan would probably have to be
undertaken as they completed the projects he was currently proposing, potentially including
reviewing the final operating study for Bradley and revisiting the system analyses that had been
done with respect to the southern interties.
MOTION: Ms. Kohler moved to approve Recommendation No. 1 to issue contracts in the
amounts requested. Seconded by Mr. Kelly. There being no discussion, a voice vote was
taken, and the motion was unanimously approved.
MOTION: Mr. Kelly moved to approve Recommendation No. 2 for the system monitoring
equipment that had originally been approved by the PMC to be installed in Soldotna at
Daves Creek to be installed instead at Bradley Lake to facilitate machine testing and data
collection. Seconded by Mr. Calvert. There being no discussion, a voice vote was taken,
and the motion was unanimously approved.
Mr. McCrohan recommended that the Chair direct the O&D Subcommittee to update the
construction list to include the new projected costs for the items just approved by the PMC during
Mr. Hickey's presentation.
Mr. McCrohan also pointed out that they currently have in place an agreement with Homer Electric
to allow HEA to implement construction items and to provide liability protection for everyone. He
said as long as testing work takes place at the site, the HEA agreement applies. However, if
Chugach was to install equipment or make any changes, they would need to have a separate
agreement in place with CEA as well or, in the alternative, have HEA perform installation work.
Brian concurred and said they would work with Mr. Stead on these types of issues.
C. FY '99 Project Budget - Evans/McCembridg
Ms. McCambridge said the Budget Subcommittee had reviewed and proposed for PMC approval
the FY '99 budget. Referring to a handout from the meeting packet, Ms. McCambridge recapped
the summary which compared the proposed FY '99 budget and FY '98 projected budget, and she
highlighted individual large-ticket items, and explained how this would impact the various budget
categories and increase the overall budget.
Ms. McCambridge said the current year budget for O&M costs is $2,087,000, excluding the bond
refunding; the proposed budget for FY '99 O&M costs is $2,246,947.
Ms. McCambridge responded to questions regarding how the bond refunding impacted the budget.
In response to Mr. Carmony's question, Ms. McCambridge stated that the proposed budget must
be submitted to the Trustee for approval by April 1. Discussion was heard.
MOTION: Ms. Kohler moved to approve the Budget Subcommittee's proposed FY '99
project budget as submitted. Seconded by Mr. Stead.
Bradley Lake Project Management Committee Meeting Meeting Minutes
March 20, 1998 Page 5
Mr. Carmony noted that it would have been convenient to have received the proposed budget
earlier since they had only received it on Monday, the 16th of March.
There being no further discussion, a voice vote was taken, and the motion was
unanimously approved.
D. Revisions of the FY '98 Project Budget - Evans/McCambridge
Referring to page 1 of the same handout, Ms. McCambridge reviewed the revised FY '98 budget
as compared to the original budget. She said last fall, the Budget Subcommittee had been directed
to revise the budget to reflect the approval of the PMC to fund the refunding costs out of this year’s
budget, and the revised FY '98 Project Budget was being presented to the PMC for formal approval
at this time. Ms. McCambridge said the funding sources they had determined could be tapped to
pay for the $350,000 refunding expenditure were: (1) $100,000 from the revenue fund, (2) reduce
the operating reserve to the mandatory 20-percent level for an additional $102,000, and (3) the
possibility that additional contributions would be required from the utilities to pay the remaining
$148,000 refunding cost.
Ms. McCambridge said the revised budget needed to be approved by the PMC, but she advised
that she did not feel any additional contribution from the utilities would be necessary as the project
is currently running under budget, and HEA is under budget in operations expense. She said if this
trend continued, they would be significantly under budget on O&M, and the $148,000 utility
contribution would not be necessary.
MOTION: Ms. Kelly moved to approve the revised FY '98 Project Budget as submitted.
Seconded by Mr. Carmony. There being no discussion, a voice vote was taken, and the
motion was unanimously approved.
8. COMMITTEE COMMENTS :
Ms. McCambridge noted that Parisena Stromberg had completed their FY '97 Annual Report, and
it was available in the meeting packets. Ms. McCambridge said the report had been reviewed by
the Budget Subcommittee, and she recommended that the PMC review it and accept it at their next
meeting. At Mr. Kelly's request, Ms. McCambridge reviewed Parisena Stromberg's FY '97 Annual
Report with the Committee.
MOTION: Mr. Carmony moved to accept Parisena Stromberg's FY '97 Annual Report as
submitted. Seconded by Ms. Kohler. There being no discussion, a voice vote was taken,
and the motion was unanimously approved.
Mr. Sieczkowski advised that the O&D Subcommittee's next meeting was scheduled for April 22,
1998, at Bradley Lake.
Mr. Carmony noted that this would be Mr. Hall's last meeting as a regular MEA employee. Mr. Hall
was commended for his contributions, and several people expressed their appreciation.
