Agenda for 116th OCC Meeting of SRPC to be held on 10th February 2016.
5.2.2
Coastal Energen Private Limited vide letter dated 07.01.2016(Annexure- 5C) had informed
that as per the Meeting held on 11.12.2015 at CEA New Delhi regarding Synchronization
and declaration of CoD of Unit 2 of Coastal Energen , Coastal Energen can export only 450
MW as against 1100 MW with both the units of NTPL running at full load and exporting 950
MW. The total power evacuation from Coastal-NTPL Pooling Station Complex should not
exceed 1350 MW. It was appraised that both the units at full capacity is necessary to
supply power and also service the loans and interest to 18 banks which have funded the
project.
Coastal Energen had proposed the following SPS to restrict the power flow in NTPL Bus to the
extent of 1350 MW and to maintain grid stability.
 With 2 Units of Energen running at full load and if Coastal-Pooling Station 400 kV
line trips one unit of Energen will trip instantaneously.
 As a back up to the above Directional Over Current Relay will be provided for
Coastal – NTPL 400 kV line to trip the Unit/Units at 650 A(450 MW)
It was requested that Coastal Energen may kindly be permitted to incorporate the proposal for
running both the units till June 2016 and they had committed that by that time both Coastal
Energen and PGCIL would complete the proposed evacuation lines.
The above proposal was discussed in 50th PCSC Meeting and the following was noted and the
issue was flagged to 116th OCC Meeting.
5.3

SRLDC had stated that there are two scenarios to be taken into account:
a) If SPS works: Generation will be reduced without load shedding. Then the
demand has to be met by increasing the 765 kV Raichur-Sholapur flow which will
cross its ATC limit.
b) If SPS does not works: The end equipment of NTPL station will be affected as it
is allowing power flow more than its limit (1350 MW).

SRLDC had informed that the proposed SPS should incorporate both reduction in
Generation and shedding of loads to maintain the Load-Generation Balance of that area.
The SPS can be implemented if the corresponding State has to agree to identify separate
loads to be shed for this Generation loss.
Request to issue certificate for claiming additional as per CERC Guidelines:
PGCIL SR I vide letters dated 19.01.2016 (Annexure-5D) requested that necessary
certificate may kindly be issued to enable POWERGRID get additional 0.5% ROE as per
the clause 24.2 III of CERC Tariff Regulation for 2014-19 block for early commissioning of
the following transmission elements:
 Kurnool – Raichur 2nd 765KV S/C Line along with associated bays and equipments
at Kurnool and Raichur Substations under ISGS Krishnapatnam : It was stated that
the line has been put into commercial operation w.e.f. 21.06.2014 i.e.
commissioned 1.35 months ahead of CERC completion schedule.
 Kurnool(New) – Raichur 765KV S/C Line along with associated bays and
equipments at Kurnool and Raichur Substations under SRSS - XXII: It was stated
that the line has been put into commercial operation w.e.f 15.12.2015 i.e.

MAPS Regarding
TANTRANSCO vide letter dated 06.01.2016(Annexure-5E) had informed that as per
MAPS approval for line clear was issued for replacement of Y phase CT in bus section
Breaker. All the arrangements/precautionary measures had been taken to limit the line
loadings of other 230KV feeders for proceeding line clear on 05.01.2016. The flow in 230
KV MAPS – S.P. Koil feeder was 98.5 MW in each circuit which was as expected before
the line clear approved. At 12:40 hrs, MAPS Unit I went on house load and generating 17
MW. OD/MAPS requested SLDC for taking Arni line back into service. But line isolator was
opened at 230 KV Arni SS for line maintenance works.
The MAPS – S.P. Koil I&II lines were available for evacuation of MAPS generation. It was
requested by TANTRANSCO that the reason for Unit I going on house load when Grid
connectivity was available for evacuation, may be communicated for taking further course
of action. It was also informed that the maintenance work was programmed in both 230KV
MAPS – Arni line and 230 KV MAPS – Acharapakkam line, when both lines under
shutdown (Bus B shutdown) on 08.01.2016 when CT replacement of MAPS is planned.

TPCIL Line II from Nellore PS & NCC Line I from Nellore PS were tripped together. Both
TPCIL & NCC plant went for a black out. Before outage TPCIL Unit I and Unit 2 were
loaded upto 625 MW & 510 MW respectively. It was found that while line II breaker was
tripped both at TPCIL and NPS ends instantly through Zone-1 fault sensing in distant relays
Line-1 tripped at NPS end on Zone -2. TPCIL expressed concern that any unwarranted
tripping not only gives a huge commercial impact on them but also stresses the machine
because of load through off and requested that SRLDC may kindly look into the matter and
may instruct the concern accordingly.
The issue was taken up in the 115th OCC Meeting and it was felt that the relay setting issue
was a protection issue and was suggested to flag the issue to next Protection Committee to
be held on 27th January 2016. It was noted that the issue has been deliberated in the 50th
PCSC Meeting. The generation loss was 1270 MW and categorized under GD-1. SRLDC
was requested to come back on the commercial issues since both the lines had tripped and
to clarify that whether this outage period can be treated as evacuation constraint/ grid
disturbance and the deviation account could be prepared as per Regulations. SRLDC to
appraise.

CEA vide letter dated 01.01.2016 had circulated Minutes of 4th NPC Meeting held at
CEA, New Delhi on 10th December 2015. (Annexure- 5J )
The following issues were discussed and the decisions/actionable points are listed below:
 Reactive Power Planning
9
Agenda for 116th OCC Meeting of SRPC to be held on 10th February 2016.
 All States to carry out reactive power planning not only at transmission level but also at
distribution level and prepare schemes to maintain voltage profile as per relevant
Regulations / Standards.
 NPC agreed that states should adopt a proactive approach in the matter of reactive
power planning, and that the provisions regarding reactive power planning similar to
those mandated in the IEGC for the CTU should be included in the respective State
Grid codes. It was decided that RPCs would follow up the matter further with the
states.

Ensuring proper functioning of Under Frequency Relay (UFRs) and df/dt relays
 NPC opined that under-frequency relays based automatic load shedding scheme was
meant to ensure grid security, and therefore, it would not be appropriate to do away
with the requirement of inspection of a targeted number of relays by the RPCs in a
year. Keeping in view the manpower constraints in RPC secretariats, it was suggested
that instead of inspection of one-third number of total relays in a region, at least 20%
of the under frequency relays installed in the respective regions should be physically
inspected by respective RPCs in each year besides self-certification by the STUs.
Regarding self-certification by the STUs regarding healthiness of the UFRs as per
checklist proposed by NRPC, Other RPCs were requested to forward their comments /
suggestions to NPC for evolving a uniform procedure across the states at the next
meeting.
 Automatic Under Frequency Load Shedding (AUFLS) scheme:
 NPC expressed satisfaction that barring a few states, the revised AUFLS scheme had
been implemented by the states in the country. It was decided that the RPCs would
take up the matter of implementation of the scheme with the states which had not so
far implemented the same and inform the progress at the next meeting.
 Membership of POSOCO in NPC:
 All the RPCs informed that the proposal of Membership of NLDC in the NPC is
agreeable to them. Accordingly, The Committee requested Member Secretary (NPC)
to take up with MoP the necessary amendment in the resolution of constitution of
NPC.
 Treatment of Bilateral short term and collective transaction in case of grid
disturbances
 The Committee felt that the matter be first deliberated threadbare among the officers
at the level of SE/EE of the RPCs, who deal with the work of regional energy
accounting, and a report / recommendations thereon could be put up by them during
next meeting for deliberations by the NPC.
 Committee constituted a Working Group with following composition:

Director level representative from GM Division, CEA

SE/EE (Commercial) level representative from each RPC

AGM level representative from NLDC

Director (NPC) -Member Secretary/Convener
 The Working Group would examine & discuss possible options for Treatment of
Bilateral short term and collective transactions in case of grid disturbances and submit

its recommendations within two months for consideration of NPC at its next meeting.
 NPC requested CEA, RPCs and NLDC to nominate their representative for the above
Working Group.
 Power swing blocking (PSB) setting in Distance relays:
 NPC while agreeing to NRPC's opinion to have a uniform PSB setting across all
regions, decided to maintain status quo in different regions and wait for the report of
the Consultant appointed for implementation of the recommendations of the 'Task
Force for Power System Analysis under contingencies' before further deliberations in
the matter.
 Review settings of df/dt relays and UFR based automatic load shedding schemes


Review of df/dt relays
NPC opined that in the event of a sudden loss of generation or any grid disturbance,
the rate of fall of frequency would vary from one location to another, and it would also
vary from one point of time to another at a particular location depending upon the
distance from the location of the fault. Therefore, there could be no uniform setting of
df/dt relays in different regions. In view of this, NPC decided that settings would be
determined by each RPC separately after detailed study of load and generation
balance in different areas of the region and communicate the same to the Committee
for ratification.
Review of Automatic Under-Frequency relay based Load-shedding Scheme
(AUFLS)
NPC decided to maintain status quo in respect of AUFLS. It was also agreed by the
RPCs to initiate the process of mapping of feeders covered under AUFLS scheme
like SRPC with a view to ensuring proper implementation of the scheme and also
have a real time assessment of load-relief likely to be available under the scheme if it
operated.
 Transfer capability determination by the states
 It was decided after detailed discussion that to begin with, power system study for
assessment of operational limits / power transfer capability for each state will be done
by the concerned RLDC in association with concerned SLDC. Monthly TTC/ATC will
be uploaded by the SLDCs at their respective websites and also communicated to
concerned RLDC & NLDC subsequently.
 Reasons for demand -supply gap and its variation:
 The reason for demand-supply gap needed to be clearly mentioned to reflect true
picture of power supply position in different states and also to invite attention of
various agencies including policy makers to the specific problem areas in the power
sector for suitable solution. It was requested to RPCs to advise the states in their
respective regions to intimate broad break-up of demand-supply gap due to various
reasons, or at least, the main reason(s) for demand-supply gap in each month. It was
suggested that this matter could be discussed in the OCC forum of RPCs on regular
11
Agenda for 116th OCC Meeting of SRPC to be held on 10th February 2016.
basis and the reasons for demand-supply gap ascertained from the States therein and
communicated to CEA.
 RPCs agreed to take action accordingly and furnish the above information to CEA
along with the power supply position related data every month.
 Coordinated outage planning of transmission elements:
 NLDC stated that they were experiencing difficulty in coordinating planned shutdown
of inter-regional lines with the concerned RPCs as some RPCs were approving
shutdowns early in the month, while other RPCs were doing so somewhat later in the
month. Keeping in view the specific issue raised by NLDC, it was agreed that all RPCs
would conduct OCC meetings in a distributed manner by 15th of every month for
finalising the planned shutdown of different transmission lines including inter-regional
ones for the following month, and 10 days time would be allowed to NLDC to finalize
TTC/ATC etc. of various inter-regional corridors taking approved shutdowns into
consideration.
 Fund Requirement for NPC
 It was agreed that for the time being, expenditure towards hosting the various
meetings of NPC meetings would be met by RPCs on rotational basis.
 Common Commercial Input data formats for all RPCs (Agenda from WRPC):
 It was decided that the committee formed for finalization of methodology for treatment
of collective transactions may also look into this issue and formulate a uniform
accounting philosophy in Regional Energy Accounts being prepared by the RPCs.
 PSS tuning:
 The Enquiry Committee constituted by GOI to enquire into grid disturbances of July
2012 had recommended proper tuning of electronic devices and PSS of generators.
Accordingly, NRPC submitted their recommended procedure to NPC for comments I
adoption by other RPCs so as to bring uniformity across all the regions.
 It was agreed that other RPCs would examine the proposal of NRPC and will revert
back in the next NPC meeting.

points:
KGS-1, 2, 3& 4 Start up transformers (SUT-1, 2, 3 & 4) have on load tap
changers and they are working on for extending the tap position indication of
SUT-1, 2, 3, SUT-4, ICT-1 & ICT-2 to SRLDC by using dual output transducers
units. During KGS-4 annual shutdown in Oct 2015, dual output transducer is
installed in SUT-4. Subsequent to completion of wiring up to RTU panel in Kaiga
switchyard, SR-II, PGCIL has been informed for carrying out necessary SCADA
point configuration. Job on other transformers will be completed in next planned

KKNPP Related Issues :
 SCADA Inputs to be ensured from KKNPP
KKNPP representative informed that out of 13 pending SCADA points, 11 points were extended
upto RTU.
 Need for additional Reactors.
 The issue was deliberated in the special meeting held on 20.10.2015 and it was decided that
KKNPP would take suitable measures to ensure that no VAR injection takes place (from LV
side) at voltages greater than 400 kV.
 SRLDC pointed that KKNPP was not neither absorbing MVAR ( upto agreed 150 MVAR) nor
installing Reactors and high voltages were prevailing at Kudankulam area. SRPC/SRLDC
reiterated that even though reactor was not envisaged in the planning condition, as per IEGC
Regulations reviewing the present conditions subsequently also reactor needed to be
installed if found necessary. It was emphasized that reactor could be put at Madurai end or
Thirunelveli end instead of putting at Kudankulam end to bring the voltage at permissible
limit.
 Auto reclosure for KKNPP-Madurai line
 SRLDC pointed out that auto-reclose for KKNPP-Madurai line was also to be taken up.

Energy Generation data Management from Renewable Energy Sources
Energy Generation from RES connected to Grid is being collected by CEA from
SLDCs.
In the Special Meeting held on 20.07.2015 the following was noted :
 TANGEDCO had informed that a comprehensive scheme from the Energy
Meters along with AMR was under implementation. The scheme covered 4,500
existing Energy Meters along with 8,500 new Energy Meters.
 On a query it was confirmed that Real Time Data (2-4 seconds) would also be
available at SLDCs. The scheme was being planned through GPRS and a
number of service providers were covered. This would improve the visibility of
wind generation significantly and assist in judicious decision making by the
operators at SLDC.
 It would take another 4 months to complete the scheme. SRLDC stated that the
scheme needed to be integrated to New SCADA.
