Plymouth Meeting - Bryn Mawr 130-35 Thermal Switching PE
For thermal overload of the Bryn Mawr - Plymouth Meeting 130-35 138kV line, OPENING the 138kV 865 CB (Low Side of TR#6) @ Plymouth Meeting may provide 15% relief ... 30MVA at 95-D temp set.
Verify switching and confirm that PECO will open if flows approach 100% of the NL rating. 
NOTE:  If peak loads are projected >=8000MW at peak for PE zone, they may not be willing to perform switching.             
Dixonville-Trade City switching option FE-PN
With the Blairsville-Social Hall line opened, actual and contingency overloads may occur on Dixonville-Trade City 115kV line. To mitigate this, and also to prevent additional overloads on Blairsville-Social Hall, look at the alternative switching of opening Seward-Florence and closing Blairsville-Social Hall.
Brighton 6A CB loss of Brighton T1 500/230kV PEPCO

IEP has detected a trend on Brighton 6A 500kV CB loss of Brighton T1 500/230kV transformer is exceeding 90% of LTE. Study opening Brighton 6A and 6C 500kV CB for contingency control. Coordinate implementing the switching solution if it does not bring up thermal constraints on other parallel paths.  Prior to implementing the switching, study opening each breaker individually to not switch into an actual on the Brighton 6A or 6B CB. 

Battleboro-Rocky Mount 115kv Thermal Control DOM CPL
Rocky Mount (CPL) is the limiting end of the line. Confirm ratings/temp set in use with CPL.  Study and coordinate with VACAR RCs and CPL to open the Rocky Mount-Battleboro 115kV line at Rocky Mt if the flow exceeds 100% of LTE and generation at Roanoke Rapids and Kerr Dam is unavailable or limited. This will aggravate overloads on Person-Sedge Hill but there are more controlling options for these overloads. See OM-77 for additional information. 
NOTE: CPL monitors for a single breaker/bus fault at Carolina. The switching solution is applicable to that scenario as well.
Juniata - Cumberland 2235 230kV line Control PPL

   b.     Increases loading on the Nelson – Electric Jct 15502 line for l/o 15616 by ~10MVA
Step #2: OPEN the “12204/12205” 138kV bus tie CB at 123 Marengo
   a.      Provides an additional ~30MVA of relief
   b.     Increases loading on the Nelson – Electric Jct 15502 line for l/o 15616 by ~10MVA.
Step #3: CLOSE the “2-3” 138kV Circuit Switcher at Marengo AND
OPEN the “12204” 138kV Circuit Switcher at 123 Marengo
   a.      Provides an additional ~40MVA of relief.
   b.     Increases loading on the Nelson – Electric Jct 15502 line for l/o 15616 by ~10MVA.
If contingency overloads are trending up rapidly, it may become necessary to implement all steps concurrently.

Ridgeland 138kv 4-14 Bus Tie CB Operation COMED

The normally open 138 kV Bus Tie 4-14 at Ridgeland TSS 192 should be closed for the outage of either 138 kV red line L1315 (Ridgeland-Crawford) or 138 kV line L5105 (McCook-Ridgeland) to maintain service continuity to the Ridgeland transformers for subsequent contingencies.

The combined outage of line L1315 and line L5105 can result in the loss of supply to the two 138/69 kV transformers. Additionally, the outage of 138 kV line L5105 may cause thermal contingency overload on TR 83 at Station 13_Crawford. (SPOG 2-25)

Doubs - Lovettsville - Millville 138 kV line overloads APS
If any part of the Doubs - Lovettsville - Millville 138 kV line will overload for l/o any contingency, consider opening the line.  The line is typically opened via the 'LOVETTSV' 138 kV CB at Millville, but can also be opened via the 'LOVETTSV' 138 kV CB at Doubs.

Greys Point - Harmony Village Switching DOM

Study opening the Northern Neck '6552' and 'L4T65' 115kV CBs for contingency control as the loading on Greys Point - Harmony Village 1021 115kV line loss of Fredericksburg - Birchwood 2083 230kV line approaches the Load Dump limit and becomes uncontrollable with off-cost generation. 

Glenarm-Windy Edge 110512 Early Binding/Control BC
Due to the extreme volatility of the constraint and the slow response of Steam generation in BGE/PEPCO, the following steps should be taken, especially if we are going into a load pick-up period:
1.)Study switching the 110512 and 110511 115kV CBs at Five Forks or 110512 115kV CB at Windy Edge West and the 110511 115kV CB at Windy Edge East. If BC approves this switching this should be implemented prior to going off cost. Note that this switching aggravates loading on Conastone-Northwest 2322 230kV for which better Generation D-Fax is available for off cost operations.
2.) If the above switching is unavailable, bridge the Glenarm-Windy Edge 110512 constraint to SCED and set the binding % to 90%.
- This will help get the BGE/PEPCO steam moving up, while not raising the over Mid Atl generation that is a hurt.
3.) Enter the HYDRO schedules in SCED.
- Hydro has a major impact on this constraint. SCED treats Hydro as fixed gen if no schedule is entered.
- Consider taking impacting Hydro generation off regulation as needed.
4.) If by entering the constraint in SCED early there is concern about managing transfers, also bridge a Transfer Interface to SCED early.
5.) If a manual dispatch is needed to move the BC/PEPCO generation for this constraint, ensure that once the constraint is under control, action is taken to end the manual dispatch, and resume control using SCED to properly set price for the units.  
Gilboa - Enon Tap 138kV line Overload Mitigation APS AEP

Prince George 230/115kV TX1 overload DOM

The Prince George 230/115kV TX1 is trending on post-contingency basis. Dominion can SCADA switch the Prince George - Poe 115kV line though the switching is limited to a 4 hour duration without opening the line disconnects. If the switching is required for an extended period of time, discuss the option of sending switch personnel and opening line disconnects. Dominion will evaluate the feasability of the long term switching, which will include evaluating increased risk to load loss. If the Prince George - Pie 115kV line is opened, whether for 4 hours or for extended duration, Dominion will need to submit an eDART ticket or the EMS Trip Ticket will need to be converted to a Pre-Contingency Switching ticket.
