I. INTRODUCTION
Northern power plants are mostly hydro and coal fired [10].
Gas turbines and diesel generators surround the load centers in
Central Luzon and Metro Manila. A 650 MW thermal power
plant is located south of Metro Manila. The power plants in
the south of Luzon are natural gas power plants comprising
about 2,760 MW, 1,875 MW coal fired and geothermal plants
of 954 MW capacity [10]. Luzon power grid has about a
1,000 MW generation reserve margin according to the
National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), the
nation's grid concessionaire responsible for the operation and
maintenance of the three major island power grids [9].
There are thirty (30) provincial areas supplied by the Luzon
power grid where Metro Manila takes about 50% of the
electric demand. Interchange 230 kV substations, specifically;
Balintawak, Araneta, Zapote, Dolores and Sucat serve the high
demand in Metro Manila [11]. Various industries, including
steel, cement and mining; government agencies and utilities;
electric cooperatives and private distribution utilities, and
economic zones constitute the load profile for Luzon.
B. Visayas
The power transmission system in Visayas has 230 kV and
predominantly 138 kV voltage levels, presented in Figure 3. A
combination of high voltage overhead transmission lines and
submarine cables provide power to five (5) islands, namely:
Leyte-Samar, Bohol, Cebu, Negros and Panay. The 230 kV
and 138 kV transmission lines have more than 2,100 ckt-km,
