1 Introduction
Agreeing the type and extent of standby power generation to the Porto Novi site is fundamental to developing the electrical infrastructure for the
development. The Porto Novi site has an existing overhead cable that is susceptible to storm damage and lightning strikes during the winter months.
Statistical information about the network in the area shows that there are a number of supply interruptions each year. Standby generators will provide
back up to the development during these interruptions.

In addition generators will be required to provide standby power supplies to life safety equipment.

The “One & Only” Design Standards requires 100% standby power back up to all properties with fuel storage for 72 hours operation.

For the purposes of this report we have included for 100% back-up as the baseline for all properties, with the exception of the marina yacht supplies, as
tabulated below.

Fuel storage for 72 hours operation for the Hotel, Conference Centre and Spa has been included with 24 hours operation for the other (non-hotel) areas.
However it should be noted that with the central generators option 72 hours will need to be provided to all areas to meet the requirement for the hotel etc.

Load estimates are based on preliminary area schedules which will require updating when further information is available and the masterplan develops.

The energy strategy for the project includes options for central or local cooling plant. The generator capacity listed in Appendices 1 & 2 includes for both
cooling plant options and will be refined once the preferred energy strategy has been determined.

This report considers two options for providing standby power generation across the Porto Novi site, as follows:
● Local distributed LV standby generators (Options 1A and 1B)
● Central HV standby generators (Option 2)
AECOM Generator Options Report 3

The Client has expressed a preference not to be an “energy supplier” on this project which will be necessary if “Owner’s” sub-metering is provided to end
users. The provision of Owner’s sub-metering is therefore considered in this report and the only option that fully complies is Option 1B with local
changeovers as Appendix 3.2.
AECOM Generator Options Report 4

2 Standby Power Generator Options

2.1 Distributed Low Voltage (LV) Standby Generators (Option 1)

LV generators will generally be located adjacent to substations to provide standby power to the local buildings served from that particular substation
transformer.

The standby generators will also provide supplies to any local life safety equipment and essential loads, e.g. street lighting.

It is anticipated (subject to agreement) that the HV ring cabling and substations will be adopted by the Electricity Power Company (EPC).

With generator changeovers at the substations it is assumed that the EPC will not adopt the downstream LV distribution cabling (see Appendix 3.1,
Option 1A), requiring that owner’s sub-metering, rather than utility metering, is provided at end user locations. A distributed power management system
would also be required to load-shed end users non-essential loads if standby generation of less than 100% back-up were to be provided.

It is our understanding that the owner would need to register as a power supplier for owner’s sub-metering to be provided for billing purposes.

With a dual LV distribution system (see Appendix 3.2, Option 1B), it is assumed that utility company metering could be provided at end user locations
(subject to agreement). This arrangement could also provide load shedding without the requirement for a distributed power management system.

The main advantages of local LV standby generators are:

● A single failure will only affect the group of buildings served by that generator and not the entire site.
● Higher resilience and security of supply, as this provides back-up to transformers and the 10kV ring cabling.
● Phased procurement to suit phased installation of site infrastructure
● Maintenance engineers will not need to be HV trained
● No need for the owner to become a registered power supplier (subject to agreement with the EPC and assuming the dual LV distribution option is
selected)

The main disadvantages of local LV standby power generators are:

● Generator plantroom(s) with local fuel storage within the development.
AECOM Generator Options Report 5

● Noise and exhaust emissions from the testing and operation will require to be managed in closer proximity to the end users
● Fuel deliveries to multiple locations
● A greater number of generators to maintain.

2.2 Central HV standby generators (Option 2)

This option will consists of up to 5 x 2.5 MVA HV generators installed in a common generator room adjacent to the EPC main intake switchboard.

The generator changeover will be required at a 10KV switchboard (see Appendix 3.3). Discussions require to be held with the EPC to determine whether
they will adopt the electrical HV network downstream of this changeover position. For the purposes of this report we have assumed that the downstream
network will be landlord owned and operated including all associated end user meters.

Local LV life safety generators (typically circa 200kVA) will still be required in buildings where life safety equipment is required. A larger LV life safety
generator will be required to serve centralised firefighting system pumps.

If a standby generator provision of less than 100% back-up were to be required this could be incorporated by provision of essential/non-essential
switchgear within each property controlled by means of a site wide power management/control system.

The main advantages of the centralised HV standby generators are:

● Fewer generator sets, associated plant rooms and fuel storage tanks within the development.
● Less impact of noise and emissions from the generator testing and operation within the development
● Fewer fuel delivery locations

The main disadvantages of central HV standby generators are:

● A single incident, e.g. a fire in the generator room, could affect standby supplies to the whole development
● HV ring cable and substation faults are not backed-up
● Maintenance engineers will need to be HV trained

3 Bulk Fuel Storage

● The fuel storage is based on 72 hours throughout the development
AECOM Generator Options Report 6

3.1 Distributed Low Voltage (LV) Standby Generators (Option 1)

For diesel fuel oil storage facilities within habited buildings, local codes only allow a tank capacity of up to 2000 litres. This is of concern for generator
sets located within buildings such as those within the Lower Village car park, as 2000 litres of fuel will provide less than 8 hours running under full load
conditions. This is not compliant with the “One and Only” Design Standards for 72 hours storage or the suggested reduction to 24 hours.

If this reduced running period is acceptable, replenishment of these tanks can be from local fill points served by delivery vehicles.

Should this reduced operation not be acceptable, remote diesel fuel oil storage of the agreed capacity would be required. The tank would need to be
positioned in a suitable location within the development that meets fuel delivery requirements and is fully compliant with local codes. From the central
storage facility fuel would be circulated via fuel transfer pumps through a pipe in pipe distribution network to each generator daily service tank.

One possible location for a central diesel oil storage facility would be a buried tank to the North of the Hotel. (See sketch below) A tank in this position
could be filled via a fill point adjacent to the main road on the Northern most boundary of the development, which is easily accessible by refuelling oil
tankers.

For details of the fuel oil storage capacities and generator operation times refer to Section 5.0 Appendix 1

For diesel fuel oil storage facilities not located within a habited building such as those serving generator installations adjacent to transformer installations
in the private villa area, fuel oil storage can be provided to meet the reduced allowance of 24 hours operation of the generator under full load conditions.

3.2 Central HV standby generators (Option 2)

AECOM Generator Options Report 7

A centralised bulk fuel storage tank will be provided adjacent to the centralised HV generators to provide 72 hours fuel storage throughout.

The large life safety generator serving the central firefighting pumps will similarly require an adjacent bulk fuel storage tank and fill point although it is
assumed that fuel storage period will be the statutory minimum required to satisfy the life safety operation of the generator.

It is anticipated that the fuel storage requirements for the smaller life safety generators will not exceed 2000 litres. Therefore replenishment of the tanks
can be from local fill points served by delivery vehicles.

4 Summary
Further discussions
require to be held with
the Client and
Electricity Utility
company to inform the
selection of the
generator strategy for
the project.

Key decisions are:

● Extent of
back-up
supplies to
the

development
● Period of fuel storage
● Electricity utility company requirements regarding adoption of the site network and metering
● Energy strategy (central or local plant)

Based on the assumptions made in the preparation of this report, distributed low voltage generators (Option 1) appear to provide the preferred option.
The main reasons for this are as follows:
AECOM Generator Options Report 9

● The aspiration that the ring cables and transformers will be adopted by the Power Company
● Provides back up in the event of transformer and ring cable failures.
● Inherent scalability to suit phased construction
