RLC SERVICES

Avangrid (CMP)
Maine Power Reliability Program
RLC provided system planning and engineering studies – including
report writing and presentation before ISO New England, Maine Public
Utilities Commission and other regulatory stakeholders – for more than
550 miles of preliminary, alternate and selected transmission line routes.
We assisted in the preparation of the permit applications for the Maine
Department of Environmental Protection as well as other local and state
permitting bodies. RLC also played a significant role in the construction
sequence and planning for the MPRP proposed substation and
transmission improvements.
RLC has performed numerous analyses of MPRP’s potential impact
on existing CMP substation facilities, including these studies:
 Steady State Impacts on existing station equipment bus, breaker
and switch configurations;

 ault Current Impacts on circuit breaker duty ratings, circuit
F
breaker transient recovery voltage (TRV), bus support insulators,
disconnect switches, grounding switches, line traps, capacitor
banks, and shunt capacitors;
 System Impacts on protection relays, shunt capacitor settings,
line relay applications, SPS systems, series capacitor, ground relay
polarization and out-of-step stability.
Eversource Energy
New England East West Solution
RLC provided reliability assessment of steady state and stability
performance, including report writing and presentation before ISO-
New England on the NEEWS Projects. We prepared the study reports
and played a significant role in the ISO New England Tariff Section I.3.9
review and approval process with the Transmission and Stability Task
Force Groups.
