4 General

4.1 Introduction This section contains explanatory material necessary to clarify the unique nature of RailCorp and RailCorp distribution system in comparison with the distribution systems managed and operated by the other NSW electricity distributors around which the legislation has been primarily based.

Rail Corporation New South Wales was formed by an act of Parliament on 1 January 2004. It was formed by an amalgamation of the State Rail Authority of NSW and the metropolitan section of the Rail Infrastructure Corporation. With

RailCorp Engineering Standard — Electrical Railcorp Network Management Plan Chapter 1 - Network Safety and Reliability EP 95 00 30 06 SP

© RailCorp Page 7 of 25 Issued May 2013 UNCONTROLLED WHEN PRINTED Version 3.4

The Rail Infrastructure Corporation was formed in January 2001 when the previous Rail Access Corporation (RAC) and the Rail Services Australia Corporation (RSA) were merged. RAC previously was the owner of the rail infrastructure, and RSA was the prime provider of infrastructure services (the maintainer).

In 1997 the rail system was geographically divided into 13 areas, and the provision of infrastructure services was to be made contestable. Four areas were tendered, and contracts awarded. A fourteenth area was also created in May 2000 with the opening of the New Southern Railway (the Airport Rail Line).

In 2003, the Government suspended indefinitely contestability within the rail maintenance industry and external contracts that have expired have not been renewed. This has resulted in RailCorp being the prime provider of infrastructure services in all of the areas, with Transfield Maintenance in 1 area.

4.2 Responsibility within RailCorp RailCorp has produced a Safety Management System which is summarised in Publication SMS-01-SR-2000 Safety Management System Requirements. Management of RailCorp’s Electrical Distribution Network falls under this Safety Management System.

RailCorp’s responsibilities are reflected in the three broad areas of organisation structure as follows:

4.2.1 Safety & Environment Group Within this group, the General Manager Safety Systems is responsible for providing the safety systems for work (both WH&S and electrical), for ensuring compliance throughout the Corporation with the systems and standards via an audit process, and for investigation of incidents and accidents. The prime responsibility for legislative compliance associated with the Electrical Network is with the General Manager, Corporate Safety Division. This involves coordinating the production of the Electrical Network Management Plan as required by the Regulation.

4.2.2 Service Delivery Group The Service Delivery Group focus on the delivery of; clean, safe, secure and reliable passenger services that are efficient, sustainable and to the satisfaction of our customers through effective and efficient practices. This includes customer service, security, station operations, cleaning service (internal trains and stations), passenger information, CountryLink, train operations, train crewing and network control of train services.

4.2.3 Asset Operations Group The Asset Operations Group focus on maintaining the infrastructure, delivering the major periodic maintenance program, and ensuring the performance of our rollingstock, infrastructure and communications and control assets.

Within the Asset Operations Group:

The General Manager Infrastructure Maintenance Division is responsible for the implementation of plans compliant with the relevant safety plans and standards. Within this Division a district structure has been created with field offices providing the inspection, routine maintenance, certification and emergency response functions. The existing contract with Transfield does not come under this district structure but the personnel working on this contract are classed as employees for the purpose of the Network Management Plan.

The General Manager Asset Planning and Performance Division is responsible for defining effective asset performance targets and effective asset strategies and controlling planning and programming via long term asset management plans and programmes.

The General Manager Infrastructure Renewals Division is responsible for the provision of products or services from RailCorp businesses or through external commercial arrangements and to generate external revenue to support RailCorp by realising opportunities to exploit under utilised assets and surplus capability

The day to day operation of the electricity distribution system (electrical network) is the responsibility of the Electrical System Control area under the System Control Engineer, managed by the Manager Infrastructure Operations. Electrical System Control also provides Protection and SCADA functions.

4.2.4 Engineering & Projects Group Engineering & Projects Group focus on the future rail network and ensuring delivery of the capital program.

Within the Engineering & Projects Group:

The Chief Engineers Division’s role is to:

Provide the technical vision for future development of the railway assets including strategic technical input into policy, objectives, development strategies, and ongoing operation of the rail network.

Develop and maintain current a suite of technical criteria that define the mandatory standards to which all new equipment of the particular asset classification must comply.

Develop and maintain the minimum standards to which equipment in an asset classification must comply throughout its life.

Maintain an assurance framework:

– for assessing and reporting on the integrity of existing assets; – to ensure appropriate delegation of technical authority to competent people; – for technical acceptance of new and altered assets.

The General Manager of the Chief Engineers Division is the Approver of Electrical Network Safety Rules (ENSR) suite of documents.

The Chief Engineer Electrical business unit reports primarily to the Chief Executive, via the General Manager of the Chief Engineers Division, on the integrity of the electrical network and on the adequacy of systems implemented to manage and operate the electrical network. The Chief Engineer Electrical is responsible for the delegation of Electrical Engineering Authority throughout the organisation and provides centralised engineering expertise and support. This includes production of the relevant engineering standards and electrical design schemes

The General Manager, Professional Services Division provides technical input to RailCorp infrastructure projects, from the planning stage, concept and feasibility design, through to commissioning, operations and maintenance. The structure includes six discipline-based design teams, which contain designers and project design managers working together. W

4.2.5 General Counsel and Governance Group Communications, Company Secretary and Corporate Counsel, business services, property, finance, human resources, information and communication technology, product development, safety and environment, strategy, performance and access.

4.3 RailCorp as an Electricity Distributor and a Rail Operator The prime purpose of the RailCorp electricity distribution network is to supply electricity to the NSW rail network. In this context RailCorp operates as an exempt Network Operator and an exempt Network Retailer.

For the purpose of The RailCorp Electrical Network Management Plan the 1500V Overhead Wiring is in effect excluded.

The management of safety associated with the 1500V Overhead Wiring system is captured by the Rail Safety (Adoption of National Law) Act 2012 and is included in publication SMS-01-SR-2000 Safety Management System Requirements which is submitted to the Independent Transport Safety and Reliability Regulator (ITSRR) as part of RailCorp's rail safety accreditation. The format of that publication is similar to that required for the Network Management Plan. It should be noted that the ITSRR also regulates some aspects of the safety and operation of the RailCorp electricity distribution system.

4.4 Relationship of 1500V OHW System to the Electrical Network Management Plan The RailCorp 1500V OHW system is a unique type of distribution system.

The key issue of its uniqueness is its intimate and exclusive association with a railway which is regulated by the Rail Safety (Adoption of National Law) Act 2012.

The Code of Practice for Electricity Transmission and Distribution Asset Management specifically excludes 1500V OHW.

The Code of Practice for Contestable Works is not applicable because 1500V OHW does not fall within the definition of contestable works as defined in the Electricity Supply (General) Regulation 2001.

The Code of Practice for Service and Installation Rules does not apply because neither 1500V OHW nor electric rolling stock falls within the definition of an installation.

RailCorp will report to NSW Trade and Investment, any safety incidents associated with the 1500V OHW which are considered to be appropriate and relevant to the electricity distribution industry.

It is also relevant to note that if a person is to be at risk from the 1500V OHW system, the person will also be at risk from train operations, which then becomes a Rail Safety management issue and is regulated by the Rail Safety (Adoption of National Law) Act 2012.

Most of these maps have been digitised and can be downloaded from RailCorp Intranet and printed as hard copy by RailCorp workers with access to this Intranet.

RailCorp is in the process of digitising all geographic information concerning its distribution system. Currently, all information concerning the geographic location of RailCorp’s high voltage aerial lines and cables has been digitised and this information is available to both RailCorp and non-RailCorp personnel. The extent of use of this GIS information varies from RailCorp District to District where reliance is still being placed in the former documents in some cases.

Cable search information for high voltage underground cables is generally obtained, on a fee for service basis, from the relevant District office for the area concerned. RailCorp is also registered with the “Dial Before You Dig” service.

A description of the RailCorp distribution system is contained in publication EP 00 00 00 01 TI RailCorp Electrical System General Description.

6 Analysis Of Hazardous Events RailCorp has a Safety Management System (SMS) for managing the safety risk from hazardous events. SMS-07-SP-2089 Manage Operational Safety Risk is the relevant system requirement from the SMS. This document contains the key requirement to manage RailCorp operational safety risks to a level that is either broadly acceptable or tolerable and So Far As Is Reasonably Practicable.

Knowledge about safety risk is captured and managed in the Safety Risk Register which is a structured representation of the causes and consequences of potential hazards, referred to as Specific Hazards, arising from the operation and maintenance of the RailCorp railway. The Safety Risk Register enables the safety risk profile to passengers, employees and members of the public associated with RailCorp’s operations to be determined. The controls designed to reduce the risk from these Specific Hazards have been identified and reside in the structure of the Safety Risk Register. Responsibility for managing the effective implementation and maintenance of these controls has been assigned to Control Owners and is delegated to Control Implementers. The responsibility for managing the Safety Risk Register itself resides with Risk Division.

The collaboration between RailCorp Electrical Engineers and Risk Division to identify and incorporate the hazards, causes, consequences and controls associated with RailCorp’s electrical distribution network into the Safety Risk Register is complete. An Electrical Hazard Register now exists as part of RailCorp’s Safety Risk Register within its risk management tool First Priority Enterprise and will be used as the foundation for future risk management activities associated with electrical distribution.

7 Emergency Procedures The procedures for the management of emergencies, including verification of effectiveness, are outlined in the “Incident Management and Emergency Response” section of RailCorp SMS which includes, in particular, the following publications :–

SMS-15-OP-2132 - Develop and Implement Site Incident Management Plan SMS-15-SP-2075 - Emergency Preparedness SMS-15-GD-0638 - Incident Response Guide The Incident Response Guide standardises the approach adopted by RailCorp for all types of emergencies, including those associated with the electrical network.

The manual requires each district to have detailed procedures for electrical incidents tailored for their work locations.

8 Asset Management Strategies All RailCorp assets, including those associated with the Electrical Distribution Network, are managed in accordance with publication SMS-04-SP-2064 Asset Lifecycle Management.

This publication sets out the requirements for the specification and management of RailCorp assets that could impact safety of, or safety upon, the RailCorp Network. RailCorp complies with the Code of Practice – Electricity transmission and distribution asset management requirements and applies systems engineering and life cycle science to decisions relating to its assets.

RailCorp holds insurance covering legal liability to third parties for personal injury and/or property damage arising out of the business and/or products as a result of an occurrence. With

10 Standards and Codes

10.1 RailCorp Electrical publications The standards which are published by the Chief Engineer Electrical and which RailCorp conforms to for the design, installation, operation and maintenance of its distribution system, are listed in Appendix A.

10.2 Other RailCorp publications

10.2.1 Electrical Network Safety Rules (ENSR) The ENSR Manual is part of RailCorp’s Safety Management System (SMS) which is published by RailCorp’s Safety and Environment Group.

RailCorp conforms to all SMS documents. The ENSR Manual documents applicable to the design, installation, operation and maintenance of its distribution system, are listed in Appendix B.

10.2.2 Other SMS Documents Other SMS documents outside of the ENSR Manual which are applicable to the design, installation, operation and maintenance of RailCorp distribution system, are included in RailCorp’s SMS system which is structured as described in document SMS-01-SD-2000 Safety Management System.

For example,

• Element 11 Training and Competence includes guide SMS-11-GD-0244 Personnel Certifications – Electrical Authorisations.

• Element 6 Work Health & Safety includes guide SMS-06-GD-0268 Working around Electrical Equipment.

10.3 Codes of Practice RailCorp has incorporated the Codes of Practice listed in Section 3 of each Chapter of the Network Management Plan in the design, installation, operation and maintenance of its distribution system; except as indicated in Section 10.4.

10.4 Departures from Codes of Practice

10.4.1 Service and Installation Rules RailCorp departs from this code in the manner specified in Section 8 of document EP 95 00 30 03 SP RailCorp Network Management Plan – Chapter 2 - Customer Installation Safety.

10.4.2 Contestable works This document does not comply with the Code of Practice Contestable Works in that RailCorp does not have an accreditation system for providers of contestable works on its distribution system.

The primary function of the RailCorp distribution system is the supply of electricity for electric traction and for signalling and the risks associated with the connection of installation work in RailCorp DC traction area are considered to be best managed at this time by limiting the works to be carried out only by RailCorp Authorised staff. This is primarily due to the risk of DC traction return and fault current returning to RailCorp Traction Substations via neutral conductors and earthing systems instead of the rails. This risk is increased with the use of the Multiple Earthed Neutral (MEN) System of Earthing (See AS/NZS 3000:2007 Fig 5.1) on installations in RailCorp DC Traction area. RailCorp distribution system earthing design is specifically configured to minimise the risk of this occurring and RailCorp Authorised staff are specifically trained in these unique requirements.

Accreditation may be considered in individual cases, for instance a large project, for which accreditation requirements will be covered by a contract specification.

The small volume of connection work, and the aforementioned risks, renders the development of an accreditation system that encourages numerous service providers technically and commercially inappropriate at this time.

10.4.3 Electricity Service Standards The RailCorp electrical network has interfaces with three other Distributors’ HV networks. These HV connections supply all of the energy to the RailCorp system. Two of the electrical distributors are Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy. The third organisation is TransGrid’s with a connection to their HV network at Wallerawang. RailCorp will continue to purchase its bulk energy from the abovementioned licensed network service providers.

Proportion of electricity end usage for the RailCorp network is generally as follows:

• 1500V DC Traction Supply to Trains – 82% • Signals & other rail critical Loads – 3% • Railway Stations – 10% (mainly RailCorp with some private tenant shops) • RailCorp Workshops – 5% • Others – 1%

The majority of the above supplies (traction, railway stations, signals, offices, and workshops) are not individually metered.

On some railway stations there are tenant customers (kiosks, small newsagencies etc) that derive their electricity from the railway station supply. RailCorp separately meters and bills these customers. These customers are generally connected to the RailCorp electricity network as a matter of historical convenience and ease of connection. All these customers are covered by a standard RailCorp customer connection contract.

RailCorp will not be implementing this code for these customers. The small number of customers (at present 261) and the unique nature of our network render implementing this code impracticable.

11 Managing of persons working on or near RailCorp Electricity Network

11.1 Training RailCorp ensures that personnel carrying out work on the RailCorp distribution system have been trained in accordance with the requirements of publication SMS-11-SP-2011 Training and Competence. This includes work which requires specific electrical authorisations as defined in publication SMS-11-GD-0244 Personnel Certifications – Electrical Authorisations. RailCorp conducts audits on the Districts training records in accordance with documents SMS-19-SP-2079 Safety Audit and SMS-19-OP-2122 Conduct Safety Audits.

As a guide a training/competencies matrix has been developed to support the industry publication EA 18 Guide to the Training of Personnel Working on or near Electricity Works and is attached as Appendix C.

11.2 Authorisation The types of work on the RailCorp distribution system for which electrical authorisation is required are specified in document SMS-11-GD-0244 Personnel Certifications – Electrical Authorisations.

The responsibility for granting of authorisation rests primarily with RailCorp’s Chief Engineer, Electrical (CEE) of the Chief Engineers Division. However the CEE may delegate a person to certify persons as defined in section 6 of SMS-11-GD-0244 Personnel Certifications – Electrical Authorisations. Accordingly, RailCorp’s System Control Engineer, Electrical System Control, also has responsibility for certifying competence in some requirements to be met for electrical authorisation. RailCorp Learning & Development Division of the Human Resources Group also has responsibility for authorising Accredited Electrical Permit Holders.

Access to and operation of electrical equipment comprising RailCorp’s distribution system is restricted by the use of a range of RailCorp standard locks as described in document SMS-06-EN-0555 Locking Systems for Electrical Equipment. Upon Authorisation to perform work on RailCorp distribution system, persons so authorised are issued with keys appropriate to the duties covered by such authorisation.
