The Hungry Horse Powerplant is being automated. This requires a higher degree of reliability since plant staff will be reduced and plant will only be staffed during normal business hours. The new configuration with new transfer trip and line transformer arrangements in Bonneville Power Administration's new substations will put Reclamation's plant at greater risk. We are going to install the following features in the generating unit relay protective system; negative sequence relay (device 46), overcurrent relay (device 51V), overvoltage relay (device 59) and volt per hertz relay (device 24).
