#PHnews: Luzon grid back to normal

MANILA – The Department of Energy (DOE) announced Friday that power situation in Luzon is back to normal after placing the Luzon grid under "yellow alert" as two power plants shut down on Thursday.

“With both the 344-megawatt (MW) Masinloc Coal-Fired Power Plant Unit 2 and 500-MW San Buenaventura Power Lt. (SBPL) Coal synchronizing back to the grid earlier today at 4:05 a.m. and 7:01 a.m., respectively, the Luzon grid is now back to normal condition,” DOE said in a Viber message.

The 344-MW SMC Masinloc Power Partners Co. Ltd. (MPPCL) Coal Unit 2 went offline on June 4 while the SBPL Coal shut down on May 23 and was on track with its schedule of reconnecting to the grid this day.

At 12:49 a.m. Friday, the 351-MW dependable capacity of MPPCL Coal Unit 1 went on forced outage due to problems on unit auxiliary transformer. It went online the same day, according to the latest DOE update.

From 4,839 MW total capacity that were unavailable to the grid Thursday, 725 MW went online Friday.

As of writing, total unavailable capacity is now at 4,114 MW -- the 1,954 MW due to unplanned outages and 2,160 MW caused by power plant derating.

“For First Gen's natural gas-fired power plants, some units of the Santa Rita (SR) Power Plant were changed over to liquid fuel in order to utilize the capacity of San Gabriel (SG). The allocation for SR was diverted to SG since the latter cannot run on liquid fuel,” DOE noted.

The department likewise has called on generation companies to expedite their restoration activities to ensure sufficient and stable power supply. (PNA)

2 Luzon power plants shut down on June 4

#PHnews: 2 Luzon power plants shut down on June 4

MANILA – Two power plants in Luzon with dependable capacity of 726 megawatts (MW) went offline Thursday due to forced outages that made the Department of Energy (DOE) place the Luzon grid on ‘yellow alert’.

 Data from DOE show that the 382-MW Team Energy Pagbilao Coal Unit 2 was forced to shut down due to boiler tube leak, while assessment is ongoing for the 344-MW SMC Masinloc Power Partners Co. Ltd. (MPPCL) Coal Unit 2.

 The latest shutdowns aggravate the power reserve in the Luzon grid as five power plants had forced outages since March 24 and have not yet connected to the grid.

 On June 3, the Team Energy Pagbilao Coal Unit, with a dependable capacity of 382 MW, went offline due to an automatic voltage regulator (AVR) problem.

 Other power plants that have forced outages include the MPPCL Coal Unit 3 in March, the South Luzon Power Generation Corp. (SLPGC) Coal Unit 2 in April, and the San Buenaventura Power Ltd. (SBPL) Coal, and the SMC Consolidated Power Corp. (SMCCPC) Limay Coal Unit 1 in May.

 SBPL Coal is expected to be online by Friday, while SMCCPC Limay coal Unit1 and SLPC Coal Unit 2 by June 15.

 The DOE has yet to have information for the date of restoration for the other power plants.

 Aside from the latest forced outages, the ‘yellow alert’ in Luzon grid was also due to supply restriction at the Malampaya natural gas field.

 The KEPCO Ilijan Corp. Natgas Block A and Block B have combined derated capacity of 296 MW, or 148 MW each.

 Low water dam level has also made hydroelectric power plants to be derated.

 To date, DOE data show that a total of 5,050 MW went offline from the grid due to unplanned outages of 2,858 MW, and power plant derating of 2,192 MW. (PNA)
