10 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017
CHAPTER 1
GENERAL
1.1 Introduction
The Western Regional Power System covers the geographical areas under Chattisgarh,
Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, UT Daman & Diu and UT Dadra & Nagar
Haveli. The regional grid operation is being coordinated by the Western Regional Load
Despatch Centre in collaboration with the respective State Load Despatch Centres.

WRLDC developed the first Operating Procedure for Western Region in consultation with
regional constituents, in November, 2000.

The Indian Electricity Act, 2003 ushered economic transactions through Short Term Open
Access within and across the region. The formation of the synchronous North-East-West-
North East (N-E-W) Grid in August 2006 integrated the regional grids as well as the inter-
state electricity market. The introduction of Power Exchanges in 2007 increased
competition among market players. The first revision of Operating Procedure was carried
out by WRLDC in June’2008 to facilitate the paradigm shift in power system and market
operation. Further improvements were carried out in December 2010 after consultation
with WR constituents in the 416th and 417th OCC meeting of WRPC. Thereafter the
Operating Procedure is being reviewed annually.

Minor changes were carried out in 2011 and 2012 to incorporate the relevant changes in
regulations and agreed practices. The Procedure underwent major changes to incorporate
the provisions of the first amendment in IEGC (effective from 17.09.2012) post the grid
disturbance of 30th and 31st July 2012.

A new era of power system operation commenced after formation of the synchronous
National Grid after the synchronization of North-East-West-North East (N-E-W) grid with
Southern Regional (SR) Grid on 31st December 2013 through 765 Sholapur-Raichur
circuit-I. The CERC notifications for IEGC (second amendment) Regulations in February
2014 & the CERC (Deviation Settlement mechanism & Related matters) Regulations-
2014 (both effective from 17.02.2014) introduced a radical change by tightening the
frequency band, de-linking the deviations from grid frequency and prescribing lower/upper
limits for deviation from schedule.

CERC order dated 22nd February 2014, in the petition 167/Suo-Motu/2012 in the matter
of the Grid Disturbance of 30-07-2012 and 31-07-2012 has mandated strict compliance to
procedures regarding Transmission Outage Coordination, Congestion Management and
control over under-drawal/overdrawal from the grid by all utilities. CERC (Terms &

11 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2014 have introduced special provisions for compliance
to CEA Grid Standards particularly in respect of protection system, telemetry and governor
operation. The above changes were incorporated in rev 8 issued in 2014.

In view of the various CERC regulations and directions, all the WRPC members were
requested in the meeting of Operational Coordination Meeting (Item of MoM) to forward
their suggestions for amendment in the Operating Procedures for Western Region. The
suggestions received have been incorporated and this document is brought out in line
with section 5.1 (f) of IEGC 2010.
1.2 Scope
The Western Region comprises of 73 regional entities viz. 50 generating stations, 12
buyers/drawee utilities and 11 inter-state transmission licensees as on 11st July 2017. This
document is applicable to all the Regional Entities of Western Region. The Operating
Procedures are without prejudice to the WRLDC’ s power to give directions and exercise
supervision and control as stated under Sections 28 and 29 of the Electricity Act, 2003.

This document supersedes the Operating Procedure issued in 2016 and shall come in
force from 21st July 2017.
1.3 Objective
This document describes operating procedures in order to operate the grid in an integrated
manner promoting reliability, efficiency and economy in conformation to the desired
security standards of the Central Electricity Authority & the Hon’ble Central Electricity
Regulatory Commission (CERC).

The objective of this procedure is to compile various provisions in the statute and
regulations for guidance of the staff of the WRLDC, SLDC and regional entities in the
Western Region. In case of any ambiguity arising in interpretation of these detailed
Operating Procedure, the meaning, intent and purpose of clauses as provided in relevant
regulation shall prevail.

1.4 Maintenance of Operating Procedures


The Operating Procedure shall be maintained by WRLDC and would be reviewed annually
or earlier in case significant changes taking place in the system warrant a review.

CHAPTER 2
NETWORK SECURITY
2.1 Introduction
This chapter highlights the actions required to be undertaken by system operators to keep
the network secured at all times against contingencies arising inside WR grid or outside
WR grid due to outage of critical corridors in NEW grid. It also describes the actions
required to maintain system parameters close to normal values in day-to-day operation.

2.2 Background
The Indian Power Grid is operating as a single synchronous interconnection of all five
regional grids in India as well as Nepal and Bhutan. Indian Grid is also connected
asynchronously to Bangladesh. The North-East-West-North East (N-E-W) grid was
synchronized with the Southern Regional (SR) grid on 31.12.2013 through 765 kV
Sholapur-Raichur circuit-I. The synchronous Indian Grid caters to a peak demand of
around 160 GW. The all India synchronous Grid has already yielded various benefits by
taking advantage of diversity of time, surplus/deficit management due to demand forecast
errors/ weather variations, increased economic transactions, improvement in overall
system security due to increase in stability margin and a stiffness of about 8000 MW/Hz.
However, synchronization has also resulted in challenges arising from contingencies,
some of which may be occurring outside the Western Region. In addition, system reliability
has to be ensured even during extreme weather conditions, uneven demand growth, delay
in commissioning of generators/transmission elements etc.

2.3 Measures to ensure Network Security and Reliability


Compliance to various CEA standards and CERC regulations is essential. In order to
maintain the security of the Regional power system.

As per the CEA Manual on Transmission Planning Criteria, Jan 2013 all the system
parameters line voltages, loadings, frequency shall be within permissible normal limits
even under N-1 or single contingency. The loading limit for a transmission line shall be its
thermal loading limit. The loading limit for an inter-connecting transformer (ICT) shall be
its name plate rating. Under N-1-1 conditions some equipment may be loaded up to their
emergency limits. To bring the system parameters back within their normal limits, load re-
scheduling of generation may have to be applied either manually or through automatic
system protection schemes (SPS). Such measures shall be applied within one and a half
hour (1 ½) after the disturbance. The emergency thermal rating represent equipment limits
that can be tolerated for a relatively short time which may be one hour or two hour.

14 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


Operators at substations/ SLDC / WRLDC would endeavor to keep the line/ ICT loadings
within operating limits and inform WRLDC in case of overloading of any element. Special
emphasis would be paid by each system operator in identifying credible system
contingencies. All possible efforts shall be made to ensure that the system is secure to
withstand the next contingency.

In order to facilitate the supervision of the network loading in Western Region, various
flow gates comprising of important transmission elements have been identified. These are
enclosed as Annex-I.

a) Action under Contingencies


A ready reckoner of suggested remedial actions for few of the credible contingencies is
enclosed at Annex-II.

WRLDC may revise the interchange schedule in case of contingencies or for better system
operation as allowed by IEGC regulations 6.4.12, 6.5.16, 6.5.17 and 6.5.20.

In line with regulation 6.4.12 of IEGC, WRLDC may direct the SLDC/ISGS/other regional
entities to increase/decrease their drawal / generation in case of contingencies e.g.
overloading of lines/transformers, abnormal voltages, threat to system security. Such
directions shall immediately be acted upon.

If required, WRLDC shall suggest NLDC to regulate the power order on inter regional
HVDC links to control the power flow on AC lines.

2.4 Congestion Management


Congestion Management in a real time system shall be as per CERC (Measures to relieve
congestion in real time operation) Regulation No. L-7/139(159)/2008, dated 22nd
December 2009 and its amendments thereof.

In line with these regulations, WRLDC in coordination with NLDC and other RLDCs shall
assess the Total Transfer Capability (TTC). Transmission Reliability Margin (TRM) and
availability Transfer Capability (ATC) to facilitate non-discriminatory open access in
transmission. The assessed TTC, TRM, ATC shall be posted in WRLDC/NLDC website.
ATC= TTC-Reliability Margin.
ATC for MTOA = TTC-RM-LTA
ATC for Advance STOA = TTC-RM-LTA-MTOA
ATC for FCFS STOA = TTC – RM-LTA-MTOA- Approved Advance STOA

15 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


Schedule Exchange between regions/ Control area have to be maintained within ATC. In
case of congestion in Real-Time or in case of violation of security criteria congestion
management would be done as per the ‘Detailed Procedure for Relieving Congestion in
Real Time Operation’ as approved by the CERC vide order dated 22.04.2013.
The summary of relevant provisions are as below:

a) Applicability of Congestion Charge: Congestion charge shall be applicable to


Regional Entities as per the CERC (Measures to relieve congestion in real time
operation) Regulations and orders on rate of congestion charge as applicable from
time to time. Congestion charge shall be levied for over drawal or under-injection
in the importing control area and under-drawal or over-injection in the exporting
control area.
b) Rate of congestion charge: The Commission may, from time to time, by order
specify the rate of congestion charge applicable to whole or a part of the region.

c) Notice for application of congestion charge: In case congestion is observed, a


warning notice shall be issued by NLDC. If the congestion persists for 2-time blocks
not-counting the time-block in which warning notice was issued by RLDC and no
affirmative action is taken by the defaulting agency, NLDC/ RLDC (s) shall issue a
notice for application of congestion charge.

d) Notice for withdrawal of congestion charge: When in the opinion of the National /
Regional Load Dispatch Centre, flow of electricity on the affected- transmission link
/corridor has come down to the ATC and remains at this level for one time block, it
may, after notice through fax/voice message and through posting on its website
and the common screen available on the Energy Management System, withdraw
congestion charge from a particular time-block: The relevant formats are given at
Annex-III
e) The notices received from NLDC shall be mailed to all regional entities and also
uploaded on the home page of WRLDC website. It shall be archived at
http://www.wrldc.org/Congestion/Default.asp.

2.5 Operational Areas of Importance


The following areas needs careful implementation by all the concerned / Power System
Users:-

16 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


a) In case of a 2-bus system, at any sub-station, it must be ensured that the
segregation of feeders on the different buses is uniform. It would help in minimizing
the effect on the system in case of a bus fault.

b) In 400kV and 765kV substations having one and half breaker scheme, it must be
ensured that the two buses at such substation remain connected at least by two
parallel paths so that any line / bus fault does not result in inadvertent multiple
outages. In case any element, say a line or an ICT or a bus reactor, is expected
to remain out for a prolonged period at such substation, the main and tie breakers
of such elements should be closed after opening the line side isolator.

The substation operators must ensure the operation even when any lightly loaded
line is opened to control high voltage. Such opening of lines is generally
superimposed over other line outages on account of faults created by adverse
weather conditions resulting in reduced security of the system.

c) Single pole auto reclosure facility on 765 and 400 kV lines should always be in
service. Operation code shall be taken from WRLDC shall be informed before
taking this facility out of service, likewise, in case any transfer breaker at any 765
kV/400kV substation having two main and transfer bus scheme is engaged, the
same would be informed to WRLDC.
d) In order to damp out the low frequency oscillations in the system, the power system
stabilizers on the generating units above 50 MW capacities shall be tuned by the
owner as per a plan prepared by the Central Transmission Utility (CTU)/ WRPC.

e) All constituents would endeavor to operate the connected generation and reactive
power management devices such as Capacitors, Reactors, Synchronous
Condensers, Fixed Series Capacitors (FSCs), Static VAR Compensators (SVCs),
TCSCs etc. in a manner which enables stable voltage behavior at various points of
the grid under different operating conditions.

f) All constituents would also ensure healthiness of defense mechanism, SPS, U/F &
U/V load shedding, AVRs, PSS, RGMO, Operating reserves, emergency back-up
power supplies etc., and ensure that the operational security standards are
maintained for reliable and secured operation of the interconnected system.

g) In line with sections 5.2(f), 5.2(g) 5.2(h) and 5.2(i) of the IEGC, the eligible
generating units should ensure restricted governor mode of operation (RGMO).
The details of generators eligible for RGMO status in Western Region is given at
Annexure-IV

17 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


h) Switching diagrams of all generating stations (100 MW and above) and all
substations of 765 kV and 400kV, important 220kV and 132kV substations
especially those involved in the evacuation of generation shall be kept at concerned
SLDCs, WRLDC, CPCC and WRPC Secretariat to enable to co-ordinate the
system operation, outages, system restoration and operational analysis. The same
shall be updated from time to time.

i) The recording instruments such data acquisition system, disturbance recorder,


event logger, fault locator, time synchronization equipment, voice recorder and any
other such equipment in each generating station / sub-station / control centre /
SLDCs / WRLDC shall be kept in good working condition in order to record the
events and sequence. All such places shall have a common time reference whose
authenticity shall be ensured by periodic verification and validation procedure to be
developed and monitored by WRPC Secretariat.

j) Each regional constituent shall provide adequate and reliable communication


facility internally and with other constituents / RLDC to ensure exchange of data /
information necessary to maintain reliability and security of the grid. All the
agencies shall provide systems to telemeter power system parameters such as
power flow, voltage and status of switches/transformer taps etc., in line with
interface requirements and other guidelines made available to RLDC / SLDCs at
least before the date of commercial operation of the generating stations or
substation/line being connected to the ISTS.
k) In line with Central Electricity Authority (Technical Standards for Connectivity to
Grid) Regulations 2007, the requester and user shall provide necessary facilities
for voice and data communication and transfer of online operational data such as
voltage, frequency, line flows and status of breaker and isolator position and other
parameters as prescribed by the appropriate Load Dispatch Centre and agree to
maintain the communication system in good condition.

l) In line with Central Electricity Authority (Technical Standards for Connectivity to


Grid) Regulations 2007, every generating station and substation connected to the
grid at 220kV or above shall be provided with disturbance recording (DR) and event
logging facilities. All such equipment shall be provided with time synchronization
facility for common time reference.
m) For a high degree of service reliability under normal and emergency operation, at
least one main telecommunication channel with an alternate backup channel shall
be provided.

18 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


2.6 Defense Mechanism
The following defense mechanism is operational in Western Region to take care of
different credible contingencies, so as to ensure safe and secure grid operation.
a) Automatic Under Frequency Load Shedding Scheme (AULFS). In line with clause
5.2(n) of IEGC, all SEBS, distribution licenses /STUs shall provide Automatic Under
Frequency and df/dt load shedding in their respective system to arrest frequency
decline that could result in a collapse / disintegration of the grid as per the scheme
formulated by WRPC forum and shall ensure its effective application at all times to
prevent cascade tripping of generating units in case of any contingency.

In the second meeting of National Power Committee (NPC) held on 16.7.2013 the
revised setting of Automatic Load Shedding through Under Frequency relay (UFR)
and Rate of Change of Frequency Relay (df/dt relay) was approved. In line with
above the Automatic Under Frequency Load Shedding Scheme (AUFLS) and df/dt
scheme for Western Region as approved by WRPC is given at Annex-V.

All SEBs, distribution licensees, SLDC etc. shall ensure the above under frequency
and df/dt load shedding/ islanding schemes are always functional. SLDC shall
furnish monthly report of UFR and df/dt relay operation in their respective systems
to the WRPC. WRLDC shall inform WRPC Secretariat about instances when the
desired load relief is not obtained through these relays in real time operation.
WRPC Secretariat shall carry out periodic inspection of U/F relays and maintain
proper records of the inspection. WRLDC shall keep a comparative record of
expected load relief and actual load relief obtained in Real time system operation.
A monthly report on expected load relief vis-à-vis actual load relief shall be sent to
the RPC and the CERC.
It is extremely important that there should be no overlapping between the areas
covered by under frequency load shedding and that included in the manual load
shedding plan as part of demand control.

b) Automatic Under Voltage Relay Load Shedding Scheme: In addition to AUFLS and
df/dt scheme, Automatic Under Voltage Relay Load Shedding Scheme to prevent
voltage collapse in the system is deployed in WR as given at Annex-VI.

c) Islanding Scheme: To avoid total black out of the grid during system disturbances
and for early normalization, the procedure for islanding of systems and major
generating stations with associated loads may be developed constituent-wise. The
islanding schemes shall be developed/reviewed in OCC/PCC of WRPC. The
details of such schemes shall be available with WRLDC, concerned SLDCs and
19 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017
WRPC. The details of present island schemes which are operational in WR are
provided at Annex-VII.

2.7 Integration of new transmission elements and Generating units into the
grid:
CERC has notified the regulations for declaration of Commericial Operation of inter state
transmission elements vide 4th Amendement of the Indian Electrcitcy Grid Code. WRLDC
shall facilitate the activities in line with the above.

The transmission system in Western Region is growing at a rapid pace. After completion
of the construction activities; the elements is to be integrated in the grid for commercial
operation. The grid elements are to be monitored round the clock to ensure safe and
secure operation of the equipment as well as the grid. All this is possible only through
extensive cooperation/coordination and sharing of information among the concerned
utilities, SLDCs, RLDCs, RPCs and NLDC. In order to streamline the entire process of
integration of new elements and to harmonize the sharing of information at various levels
during the integration process, standard formats for uniform implementation across all
regions have been devised by NLDC. The procedure for integration of new transmission
elements belong to any transmission licencee are given at Annex-VIII(a). The formats of
the document to be submitted by the transmission licencee and RLDcs are given in Annex-
VIII(b).
Similarly, the new generator integrating into the system is entitled to draw the start-up
power under Deviation Settlement Mechanism, up to the maximum period of 21 months
(Fifteen months prior to expected date of synchronization and six months after
synchronization) from the date of commencement of drawal of start-up power from the
grid. The procedure for availing Start up power from the Grid by the Generating Stations
under commissioning phase through Deviation Settlement Mechanism is approved CERC
reference nos No. L-1/(93)/2009-CERC date 12th August, 2014.
Th key freatures of this procedure are as under:

 This procedure is applicable to Generating stations without an existing Unit under

CHAPTER 3
FREQUENCY AND VOLTAGE CONTROL
3.1 Introduction
For safe and secure grid operation, it is imperative that system parameters i.e., frequency,
voltage etc., remain close to nominal values. This section highlights the measures to be
adopted by the System Operators at WRLDC / SLDCs / Sub-SLDCs / GENCOs/
TRANSCOs at their stations for frequency and voltage control.

3.2 Frequency Control


To maintain frequency within thresholds there are three control services. They are
1. Primary Frequency Control
2. Secondary Frequency Control
3. Tertiary Frequency Control
Above control services differ in their time of response to a change in frequency from
steady state and methodology adopted.

Primary Frequency Control: Sudden changes in frequency is arrested through governor


control. Keeping governors free to operate would enable smooth control of frequency
fluctuations beyond the dead band of Governors, as well as would act as security against
grid disturbances.

Time line for primary governor control action is of the order of a few seconds i.e. 5-30
seconds and should last for at least 3-4 minutes to enable secondary control to take over
which will allow the primary reserves to be restored.

As per IEGC 5.2 (f), all Coal/lignite based thermal generating units (200 MW and above),
Open Cycle Gas Turbine/Combined Cycle generating stations having gas turbines of
capacity more than 50 MW each (w.e.f. 1st Oct 17) and all hydro units (25 MW and above),
shall have their governors in service and operating in RGMO/FGMO mode.

Secondary Frequency Control: Primary frequency control, through governor action,


arrest the fall in frequency. However, for bringing frequency back to 50 Hz, corrective
actions through secondary frequency control affecting the generation or load is to be
carried out. Time line for secondary control action is 15/30 minutes for large events. For
a large interconnection system, the secondary control is achieved through Automatic
Generation Control (AGC). To operationalize AGC, adequate reserves are to be ensured
to bring back frequency to nominal value.

27 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


CERC has issued a suo moto order on 13th Oct 15 to operationalize spinning reserves
and AGC in the country. Summary of Reserves earmarked by the Hon’ble Commission
are given hereunder.

Primary Reserves Secondary Reserves Region wise


(Distributed in All India Generators)

Region Reserve (in MW)

North 800 MW

North East 363 MW

Total 3623 MW

The quantum indicated above may change in future with increasing Renewable Energy
(RE) penetration as per the Report of the Committee on Spinning Reserves.

To start with, a pilot project on AGC is being carried at NTPC Dadri in collaboration with
Seimens, POWERGRID and POSOCO.
Tertiary Frequency Control: Large deviations in frequency cannot be handled by
secondary frequency control alone, secondary control reserves also need to be restored
through tertiary reserves. Tertiary control is the manual change in the dispatching and unit
commitment in order to restore the secondary control reserve, to manage eventual
congestions, and to bring back the frequency and the interchange programs to their target
if the secondary control reserve is not sufficient. Tertiary control, therefore, refers to
rescheduling of generation to take care of deviations in a planned manner during real time
operation that leads to restoration of primary control and secondary control reserve
margins. The tertiary reserves mandated by CERC at intra state level are as follows.

generators including IPPs.
d. Explore additional export through STOA.

iii. All constituents shall stagger their load-shedding pattern to make the load curve as
flat as possible, so as to arrest stiff high frequency excursions during load
changeover period.
iv. In case of high frequency, generation at interstate and intra state shall be backed
down upto technical minimum. In case of persistent high frequency, generators
shall be taken in Reserve Shutdown. The detailed procedure for taking units under
reserve shutdown is detailed in CERC order dated 5th May 2017.

30 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017

CHAPTER 4
DEMAND ESTIMATION & CONTROL
4.1 Objective
This chapter describes the procedures / responsibilities of the SLDCs for demand
estimation for both active and reactive power and also the provision to be made by SLDCs
to effect a reduction of demand in the event of inadequate generating capacity and / or
withdrawal of external assistance in the event of breakdown or operating problems (such
as frequency, voltage levels or thermal overloading) on any part of the grid.

4.2 Overview
Demand estimation plays a very important role in grid operation. Long term demand
estimation (five years and beyond) is an important input for generation / transmission
planning. Medium term demand estimation (one year and below) constitutes an important
input for outage planning of generating units and transmission lines. The short term
demand estimation (spanning from one week to next time block) facilitates an important
input for generation scheduling. Variation in demand in real time operation from the
estimated values should be within +-2% limits to ensure that the grid is not affected
adversely.

Demand estimation and control is essentially the responsibility of SLDCs and WRLDC
would generally not have a major role in this area except for integrating the demand value
from the constituents and projecting the same as WR demand. WRLDC however, would
give instructions to SLDCs on demand control whenever the same has a bearing on the
security of the regional grid and such instructions would have to be complied by all SLDCs.

4.3 Demand estimation


Based on the discussions in various WRPC forums it is under stood that SLDCs do
forecast demand on an annual, monthly, weekly and ultimately on daily basis which would
are used in the day ahead scheduling in line with IEGC clause 5.3(e).

a) Demand Control: The need for demand control arises on account of


following conditions:

i. Variation in demand from the estimated value (by more than 2%)
which cannot be absorbed by the grid.

ii. Unforeseen generation / transmission outages resulting in reduced


power availability.

39 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


iii. Heavy reactive power demand, particularly during Rabi load / high
industrial activity causing low voltages
iv. Critical loading on inter-regional corridors/flow gates
v. Commercial reasons
b) In line with section 5.3.(c) of IEGC, the SLDCs would regularly carry out the
necessary exercises to estimate short term and long term demand to
facilitate planning so as to maintain their actual drawl from the regional grid
close to their schedule . The Maximum inadvertent deviation allowed during
a time block shall not exceed the limits specified in the deviation Settlement
Mechanism Regulations.

c) The constituents shall endeavor to restrict their net drawl from the grid to
within their respective drawl schedule in line with section 5.4.2(a) of IEGC.
However, , requisite load shedding (manual) shall be carried out in the
concerned State to curtail the over drawal in order to improve the frequency
above 49.9Hz, as per IEGC 5.4.2(b).

d) All constituents shall endeavor to maintain the system frequency above


49.9Hz and would cooperate for helping optimum utilization of regional
hydro resources so as to ensure maximum availability during peak hours.

e) All constituents shall ensure the availability of the defense mechanism in


place as at Annex-V.
f) Demand Response:

i. Constituents are expected to implement measures for demand


response, per IEGC 5.4.2(d). The clause is reproduced below
“The SLDCs, through respective State Electricity
Boards/Distribution Licensees shall also formulate and implement
state-of-the-art demand management schemes for automatic
demand management like rotational load shedding, demand
response (which may include lower tariff for interruptible loads) etc.
before 01.01.2011, to reduce over-drawl in order to comply para 5.4.2
(a) and (b) . A Report detailing the scheme and periodic reports on
progress of implementation of the schemes shall be sent to the
Central Commission by the concerned SLDC”

40 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


ii. Demand control would have to be exercised under low frequency
conditions by taking the following actions by constituents.

a. Scheduled load shedding as decided in OCCM/Board


meetings.

b. Un-scheduled load shedding for the load generation balancing


exercise which is planned for the following day

c. Distress load shedding due to load generation imbalance in


real time leading to frequency going below 49.9 Hz. This will
be carried out through already identified radial feeders.

g) During the demand control by scheduled load shedding as well as


unscheduled load shedding by staggering in different groups, the
changeover from one group to another shall be carried out in a gradual
manner so as to ensure that the change in load at any point of time does not
exceed 100 MW so as to avoid excursions in system parameters.

h) In case of low voltage pockets, each SLDC would identify feeders drawing
heavy quantum of reactive power and disconnect the same when voltage
goes below 380kV.

i) Load Crash: In the event of load crash in the system due to weather
disturbance or other reasons, the situation would be controlled by RLDCs
and SLDCs by the following methods:-
i. Lifting the load restrictions, if any.
ii. Exporting the power to neighboring regions by STOA
iii. Phasing out hydro
iv. Backing down or closing down of generating units
j) Distress Load Shedding
i. In case of sudden loss of generation / breach of TTC / grid contingency,
distress load shedding is carried out immediately to ensure security of
the grid.

ii. The distress load shedding is carried out by tripping of identified


66/132/220kV radial feeders from State Load Despatch Centre on
emergency call.

41 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


k) Automatic Under Frequency Load Shedding (AUFLS)

i. AUFLS is defense mechanism against disturbances and includes both


discrete relays and trend relays.

ii. The approved AUFLS scheme in Western region and the recommended
df/dt with changed grid scenario is enclosed at Annex-V

iii. The feeders for discrete and trend automatic under frequency relays
need to be widely dispersed as operation of these relays is sensitive to
the location of the disturbance.
l) Emergency Measure by WRLDC
In case of continuous violation in terms of over drawal by a constituent WLRDC
shall issue alert / warning messages to the constituent to bring its drawal back
within the limit as specified in the CERC (Deviation Settlement Mechanism &
Related Matters) Regulations-2014. Despite repeated follow up by WRLDC if
the constituent fails to comply, WRLDC shall issue instruction for manual
opening of identified radial feeders to control its over drawal in view of system
reliability. The list of feeders identified (state wise) for manual opening as
emergency measure in WRPC forum is given at Annex-XII.

CHAPTER 5
OPERATIONAL PLANNING
5.1 Objective
This chapter describes the procedures / responsibilities of the SLDCs to develop an
operational planning strategy to ensure that the shortfalls are managed efficiently through
increase in availability by garnering all other resources available and by planning of load
shedding on long term basis (one year) and fine tuning every quarterly, month ahead,
day-ahead and on the day of operation to account for demand forecasting errors, forced
and partial outages of the generating units, transmission constraints etc.

5.2 Overview
The operational planning starts one year ahead in the month of October for the period
April to March next year. The demand control measures planned include scheduled load
shedding for each of the power utilities in the region and this is prepared by the concerned
State Load Despatch Centre. The States also plan for STOA transactions in a month
ahead horizon. Actions are also planned for regulating availability from resources like
captive power plants.

The day ahead planning includes demand forecasting by the States, scheduling of power
from ISGS, MTOA as well as purchasing power through STOA / Power Exchanges. The
demand supply mismatch is mitigated through scheduled load shedding with correction
applied through planning unscheduled load shedding.

The unscheduled load shedding accounts for fluctuations in availability due to forced
outages, transmission outages, fuel related problems or demand fluctuations due to
weather related factors and other important events. The fine tuning of supply demand
balance is achieved by availing UI power on the day of operation.

5.3 Operational Planning


a) Operational Planning on yearly horizon
i. For the purpose of operational planning on annual basis, the year
considered begins in April of the year and extends till March of the next year.
ii. In the monsoon months, due to reduction of demand, most of the thermal
sets would be taken out for annual overhaul. Generating unit outage
planning is done month wise for peak and off-peak conditions and
coordinated amongst various stakeholders such that generation availability
would not lead to significant load curtailment.

44 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


iii. The transmission outage planning is also coordinated with generator outage
planning and a coordinated outage plan for both generation and
transmission is developed as per IEGC clause 5.7.4.

iv. The monthly generation availability from thermal stations is computed based
on the planned outages as indicated in the outage plan, assumed forced
outage rate (13.5%) or based on past data and assumed partial outage rates
(5%) based on auxiliary problem, fuel related problem etc.
v. The month-wise forecasted demand and availability would indicate the
surpluses/deficits in various months utility/state-wise and Load Generation
Balance Report (LGBR) is compiled for Western region by WRPC for the
period April to March next year for peak and off-peak scenarios.
vi. The LGBR as evolved forms the basis of TTC/ATC calculation for inter-
regional exchanges in both the directions for advance reservation.
b) Operational planning on quarterly horizon

i. The operational planning exercise carried out for one year horizon is
reviewed quarterly and monthly basis based on the more current
information.

ii. The quarter, April-June is having residential and commercial loads due to
summer conditions. The hydro reservoirs would be depleted and generation
from run of the river hydro plants would be minimal. The forced outages from
thermal generation are on the higher side due to high ambient temperature
with many thermal units tripping on tube leakages. All efforts would be made
to maximize generation availability to minimize the load shedding.

iii. The Second quarter, July-September signifies the monsoon season in which
the demand is on the lower side due to absence of agricultural demand and
is characterized by high hydro availability with some overflowing reservoirs
at the end of the quarter.

iv. Such overflowing hydro is used to the full extent whereas many thermal
generating stations are taken out for annual overhaul. During this quarter,
the coal based generation faces some constraints such as wet coal problem,
flame failures etc.

v. The quarter, October-December is having high demand in the grid due to


onset of Rabi season when agricultural demand is predominant with many
pump sets operating. This quarter, also being the festival season,
45 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017
commercial and residential demands are also on the higher trajectory. Most
of the thermal generating sets would be brought back from planned outage
and all efforts would be made to minimize thermal outages.

vi. The quarter, January-March will have high demand similar to that of
previous quarter due to continuation of agricultural activities. The industrial
demand would also be it its peak as this is the last quarter of the financial
year and target needs to be achieved before the budget.
c) Operational planning on monthly horizon

The power supply position of the previous month and projections for next two months are
discussed in the monthly Operation & Coordination Committee Meeting (OCCM) by all the
States and other users to draw up coordinated action plans.
d) Operational planning on day ahead basis

i. Weather Forecast: As demand pattern depends on weather, utilization of


weather forecast is necessary for planning load generation balance. Apart
from demand, generation from renewable sources are interlinked to weather
parameters. Indian Metrological Department of India has provided specially
designed web links with forecasted and now cast weather data that can be
used for operational planning on day ahead basis. The web link provided by
IMD for western region is given below
http://amssdelhi.gov.in/WRLDC/MAIN/MAIN.html

ii. Forecasting generation from renewable energy sources would help in


planning dispatch from conventional generation. In addition to above, ramp
rates of conventional generation can be predicted to address renewable
generation fluctuations.

iii. As per IEGC clause 5.3 (d) and (g), SLDC has to carry out its own demand
estimation from the historical data and weather forecast data from time to
time. Forecast of renewable generation is to be considered to plan active
and reactive power requirements.

iv. In line with clause 6.5 of IEGC, under the head of ‘Scheduling & Despatch
Procedure’, plant-wise requisitions from the States are compiled to draw up
schedule for each ISGS. The day ahead operational planning exercise helps
the state with large deficit to opt for un-requisitioned power in some of the
ISGS plants within or outside the region.

46 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


v. The state utilities bridge the anticipated shortfall by day-ahead Short Term
Open Access transactions/collective transactions (PX trades).

vi. To meet exigencies during real time operation generation reserves are to be
ensured to maintain load generation balance. The quantum of reserves to
be maintained at intra state level is detailed in Chapter 3.

5.4 Load Curtailment Planning


a. Scheduled Load Shedding

It is understood from the discussions at different forums of WRPC that the scheduled load
shedding is implemented in the following ways:-
i. Statutory cut on the maximum demand of high tension and low tension
industries.
ii. Statutory cut on the consumption of high tension and low tension industries.

iii. The rural feeders are arranged into groups and each group is shed for 8-12
hours in a day with number of groups shed at any point of time.

iv. Load shedding in urban areas for 1 ½ to 3 hours in a day during morning and
evening peak hours.

v. Single phasing through which the agricultural load and residential / commercial
loads in the rural areas are separated and only three phase loads are subjected
to shedding.

vi. Staggering of holidays through which power supply to a particular is totally cut
for about 12 hours.

vii. Recess staggering through which the lunch break and shift timings are
staggered.
b. Unscheduled Load Shedding

i. The unscheduled load shedding is effected through different set of feeders


other than those selected for scheduled load shedding.

ii. Unscheduled load shedding is done only during emergency conditions when
there is over drawal by the state beyond acceptable level & SLDC is unable to
contain drawal despite taking all other measures.

47 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


iii. Since unscheduled load shedding is not announced before hand to the public
such load shedding gets maximum public resentment and should be avoided
by deft planning.

CHAPTER 6
OUTAGE PLANNING PROCEDURE
6.1 Introduction
This chapter sets out the procedure for preparation of outage schedule for generating
units and transmission elements of the region in coordinated and optimal manner keeping
in view the regional system operating conditions and maintaining load generation balance
in the system.
Particularly it is important that the planned outages of generation and transmission system in the
important flow-gates are properly coordinated as detailed in IEGC clause 5.7.

The list of important regional grid elements of the Western regional grid which have a bearing on
the network security are available on WRLDC web site at the link
http://wrldc.org/docs/LIST%20OF%20IMPORTANT%20GRID%20ELEMENTS%20in%20WR_M

The annual outage planning is reviewed on quarterly and monthly basis in the OCC forum
of WRPC.

As per IEGC clause 5.2(c), important element shall be deliberately opened or removed
from service without concurrence of WRLDC. In the event of tripping of any of the above
elements, WRLDC shall be informed within ten minutes of the event or as soon as possible
as per clause 5.2(d) for further necessary action.

6.2 Objective
a) To formulate a coordinated outage programme of transmission lines and
generating units for the regional grid, considering all the available regional
resources and taking into account transmission constraints as well as other
requirements.

b) To minimize surplus or deficit, if any, in the requirement of power and energy and
help to operate system within system standards.

c) To maintain adequate generation and transmission availability after taking into


account the outages and to achieve the security standards.

6.3 General
a) Stipulations in this chapter are applicable to all generating units above 100 MW
(Thermal), 50MW (Hydro) and transmission elements as specified in the List of

WRPC and reviewed during the year on quarterly and monthly basis in line with
IEGC clause 5.7.4.

c) WRPC shall prepare draft coordinated annual outage plan for generation units and
transmission elements to optimize the utilization of available resources.

d) OCC meeting is the formal inter-face of WRPC with WRLDC, SLDCs, CTU, ISGS,
UMPPs, IPPs and other constituents for reviewing the annual outage plan on
quarterly /monthly basis.

6.4 Outage Planning Process


a) Annual Outage Planning
The following calendar shall be followed in respect of annual outage planning for the
ensuing financial year:-

i. The constituents and users will forward the required data for outage planning for
the next financial year to WRPC Secretariat by 31st October for peak and off-peak
conditions

ii. WRPC Secretariat will issue the draft outage plan to all the regional constituents
and WRLDC by 30th November. For peak and off-peak conditions.

iii. The mutually agreed final outage plan shall be intimated by WRPC Secretariat to
all regional constituents, users and WRLDC for implementation by 31st December
for peak and off-peak conditions.
b) Monthly Reviews:

The annual outage plans formulated as above shall be reviewed on monthly basis as
per following programme:-

Monthly review of the outage plan for the current month and the consecutive month
would be done in the OCC meeting of WRPC. WRPC Secretariat would issue the
outage plan, as decided in this meeting, to all the constituents and WRLDC by next
day of the OCC meeting. The coordination procedure for transmission element shut
down as approved in 446th OCC meeting of WRPC and subsequently discussed in
OCC meeting is given at Annex-XIII. As decided in 470th OCC meeting utilities should
include bay outages in the list to WRPC for discussion and concurrence in the monthly

51 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


OCC meeting. In 488th OCC meeting it was decided that 490th OCC onwards planning
will be done on calendar month basis and proposal shall be submitted by 5th working
day of the respective month. Unforeseen outages, which are not approved in OCC
meeting, shall be taken with WPRC as per procedure approved in 497 th meeting and
changes thereafter.

c) Unforeseen/emergency outages & Rescheduling of Outages after monthly


schedules, in the event of any requirement to re-schedule the planned shut down
or to avail an emergency / unforeseen shutdown, the concerned constituent shall
forward request to WRLDC indicating the nature of emergency or the reasons of
deferment. WRLDC would approve such unforeseen outages / rescheduling of an
already planned outage based on the exigency vis-à-vis system conditions with
intimation to WRPC.

6.5 Availing of Shut Downs for Transmission Elements.


a) The month outage list for transmission elements enclosed in the OCC-MoM is
shared by WRLDC in MS Excel format with all Users through a online web portal.
The link of this web portal is given below
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1M-
JeQbm6Cer8dB0uHStyPcGIMs95Us7TqqFrxq77mGY/edit#gid=863831921

Authorized users can view and write remarks on this online web portal.

b) All seeking shutdown of elements are requested to ensure that the readiness to
avail shutdown is filled in the Google Sheet on D-3 date. Filling readiness for
OPGW work on daily basis is also mandatory.

c) Outage of State owned EHV lines has influence on powerflow on parallel corridor.
Therefore it is desirable that readiness to avail outage on State owned EHV lines
is also updated by respective SLDCs in Google sheet on D-3 date.

d) Requests for re-scheduling an OCC approved outage can also be filled in the
Google Sheet on D-3 date.

e) Only elements whose readiness is filled shall be considered in simulation studies


conducted at WRLDC/NLDC on D-2 date.

f) If there is a request to take outage of one line and another request to take A/R in
non-auto mode for OPGW work on second line from the same substation then
generally approval for only one out of these two would be given.

52 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


g) The reliability consent / suggestion in respect of an outage can be viewed on D -2
date in the google sheet. The same sheet shall be sent as attachment through
email from WRLDC outage coordinator on D-1 date in this group. This sheet would
be available with SCM, WRLDC control room for further coordination in real-time.

h) Before sending the gang on site the respective utilities must check whether the
reliability consent is given for that outage or not.

i) On the date of the outage the concerned utility must talk to the WRLDC control
room and seek operation code for switching the element to be taken under outage.
The Sl. No. of the outage may be quoted by the requesting agency to help the
WRLDC Shift Charge Manager in locating the element on the Reliability Consent
sheet.
j) WRLDC operation code for an outage would be issued only to ISTS licencees,
SLDCs, ISGS, Regional entity generators or entities who are directly under
jurisdiction of WRLDC. Entities embedded within the State are requested to route
their requests through the concerned SLDCs only.

k) In case of outage on these elements, for any reason, the constituents, willing to
cancel the shutdown approved in OCC, will have to inform WRLDC at least three
days before the date of shutdown.

l) The code issued by WRLDC for opening / revival of the circuit signifies such
approval only from the system point of view notwithstanding anything contained in
safety measures and other switching operations to be carried out locally. The
related line / substation personnel would be responsible for ensuring all safety
precautions while opening / closing of any element to avoid any threat to operating
personnel and equipment.

m) During the period of shutdown all efforts should be made for timely return of
shutdown and delays if any shall immediately be reported to WRLDC along with
the reasons and likely time of return of shutdown.

n) Where it is foreseen that return of Permit to Work could be delayed due to physical
distance involved in case of a transmission line, mobile/satellite phone would be
used for communication with the substation to minimize the outage period.

o) Any maintenance work on opportunity basis proposed to be carried out by related


agencies during a 765 & 400kV line/ICT shutdown would be carried out in
consultation with WRLDC. WRLDC Control room will issue a code for such works
to the requesting agency looking into the system conditions. Such works needs to

53 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


be winded up/returned by requesting agency before the agency availing outage
finishes their work.

6.6 Availing outage of Generating Units


a) Constituents will inform WRLDC and respective beneficiaries before availing
planned unit outages in real time and if the outages cannot be availed, the same
shall be intimated to WRLDC.

b) In case of deviation from scheduled plan, the same shall be intimated to


beneficiaries and WRLDC/WRPC in advance.
c) For planned generation unit outages, constituents will confirm WRLDC three days
in advance (i.e. on D-3 basis) regarding their outage programme. In case the
readiness for availing the outage is not intimated on D-3 basis to WRLDC the
outage shall be deemed cancelled.

CHAPTER 7
SHORT TERM OPEN ACCESS PROCEDURES
7.1 Introduction
With the implementation of Hon’ble CERC order on Short Term Open Access (STOA),
bilateral exchanges have provided a suitable edge to constituents in planning and
minimizing the gaps in demand and availability. The processing of STOA applications,
scheduling, revision, billing, reconciliation & financial settlement etc are done by WRLDC
as per the CERC (Open Access in ISTS) regulations-2008 & subsequent amendments &
the CERC approved ‘Procedure for scheduling bilateral transactions’.

PX Procedure: Any regional entity generator / seller of WR intending to sell power over
the PXs needs to obtain prior standing clearance / NoC from WRLDC for a specified
quantum & duration. For seeking NoC the entity has to submit the following documents to
WRLDC at least 3 days in advance wrt the proposed date of PX transaction.

i. A covering letter mentioning the quantum in MW & time duration for which NoC
is required
ii. An affidavit in the format PX-V given at Annexure-XIV

In case of an ISGS / CGS in WR with long term beneficiaries, seeking to sell the
requisitioned surplus (URS) power over the PX the ISGS/CGS shall have to obtain written
consent of the corresponding beneficiaries who have surrendered their entitlements. The
original beneficiary shall communicate its consent to the ISGS by 9:45 AM each day about
the quantum and duration of power for next day for sale in the market or can give a
standing consent to the ISGS.

STOA Procedures
As per the Electricity Act 2003, nondiscriminatory provisions for the use of transmission
lines or distribution system or associated facilities with such lines or system by any
licensee or consumer or a person engaged in generation in accordance with the regulation
specified by the appropriate Commission shall be provided. Hence, the transmission
utilities shall allow access of their system for Open Access customers without any
prejudice.

a) As per the open access regulations, reservation of transmission corridor for


bilateral transactions can be made in the following ways:-
i. Advance Reservation

56 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


ii. First come first serve basis
iii. Day ahead basis
iv. Day ahead / same day in a contingency

b) Applications for day-ahead transactions shall be processed only after processing


of the collective transactions of the Power Exchange.

c) Procedure for scheduling of bilateral transactions and collective transactions are


as per CERC STOA regulations.
d) The STOA application shall include all necessary information as per the formats
and procedures prescribed by the POSOCO from time to time.

e) Wherever the proposed bilateral transaction has a State utility or an inter-state


entity as a buyer or a seller, concurrence of concerned State Load Dispatch Centre
shall be obtained in advance and submitted along with the application.

f) If the SLDC has not communicated any deficiency within 2 days of receipt of the
application and refusal of ‘no objection’ within specified time,’ no objection ‘shall
deem to have been granted.

g) Provided further that where concurrence is deemed to have been granted by the
SLDC, the applicant while making the application, shall submit an affidavit duly
notarized, declaring that a) SLDC failed to convey ‘no objection’ within specified
time and b) Necessary infrastructure for time block wise metering and accounting
in accordance with IEGC, is in place.

h) The constituents / traders shall seek the consent / approval of WRLDC as the case
may be well in advance especially whenever a transmission constraint is foreseen
to facilitate advanced booking of the transmission corridor and optimum utilization
by all the constituents.

i) While approving / consenting the STOA application, WRLDC shall check primarily
the following points of relevance.
i. Corridor availability
ii. Valid agreement between buyer/seller/trader shall be produced on demand.
iii. Consent from all the relevant utilities and RLDCs
iv. Payment status of necessary STOA charges.

57 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


7.2 STOA Implementation
a) The details regarding such STOA agreements and their implementation
philosophies are explained below. WRLDC would require above information in
respect of STOA for
a) Working out the net drawal schedule of each constituent

b) Checking for transmission constraints, if any, arising out of


such exchanges

b) The revision in the Advance and FCFS STOA category is allowed with two days
advance notice.
c) No revision in day-ahead and contingency

d) No post-facto revisions of schedule would be carried out on account of bilateral


transactions.

7.3 STOA curtailment and revision


During transmission constraints, the STOA transactions will be curtailed first to ease the
congestion. Open access bilateral transactions would generally be curtailed first followed
by the collective transactions as per IEGC 6.5.28

The curtailment in case of tripping of unit, will be done as per IEGC 6.5.19. The clause is
reproduced below:
Clause 6.5.19. ”Notwithstanding anything contained in Regulation 6.5(18), in case of
forced outage of a unit for a Short Term bilateral transaction, where a generator of capacity
of 100 MW and above is seller, the generator shall immediately intimate the same along
with the requisition for revision of schedule and estimated time of restoration of the unit,
to SLDC/RLDC as the case may be. With the objective of not affecting the existing
contracts, the revision of schedule shall be with the consent of the buyer till 31.07.2010.
There-after, consent of the buyer shall not be a pre-requisite for such revision of schedule.
The schedule of the generator and the buyer shall be revised, accordingly. The revised
schedules shall become effective from the 4th time block, counting the time block in which
the forced outage is declared to be the first one. The RLDC shall inform the revised
schedule to the seller and the buyer. The original schedule shall become effective from
the estimated time of restoration of the unit. However the transmission charges as per
original schedule shall continue to be paid for two days.

58 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


The time of restoration will be informed by the generator along with transaction details at
the time of reporting the tripping.

"Provided that the generator or trading licensee any other agency selling power from the
generating station or unit(s) thereof may revise its estimated restoration time once in a
day and the revision schedule shall become effective from the 4th time block, counting
the time block in which the revision is advised by the generator to be the first one.”
The revisions in FCFS/Advanced STOA initiated by different utilities is as follows

i. Revision initiated from Trader/Applicant side


- Only downward revision is permissible
- Only FCFS/Advanced STOA are eligible for this
- Intimation by the applicant 2 clear days in advance i.e. a revision request must
reach RLDC by 17:30 hours of D-3 for implementing revision on D-day

ii. Revision of day ahead / contingency STOA initiated from Generator


- A generator/seller could request for revision on its own or via the trader for an
approved day ahead / contingency STOA transaction only in case of tripping of a
generating unit of capacity 100 MW or more. For sellers this dispensation could be
available provided the source of generation was indicated at the time of STOA-
application & a unit of the corresponding source-generator had tripped.
o The quantum/duration of revision
o Expected time of revival of the STOA
- The revised schedule shall be effective from 4th time block. This provision is not
applicable for PX transactions.

iii. Revision initiated from SLDC


- Schedule Curtailment under transmission constraint in STU network
- SLDC to clearly specify the STOA transactions to be curtailed for relieving the
transmission constraint.

iv. Revision initiated by WRLDC


- Schedule Curtailment under transmission constraint in ISTS network
- Schedule shall be curtailed in the order RRAS->STOA->PX->MTOA->LTA as
applicable.

7.4 Default in payment of open access charges


c) In case of default in payment of the application fee or the chargesspecified under
these regulations, the nodal agency may, in its discretion, decide not to schedule

59 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


the transaction, or to cancel the scheduling of already scheduled transaction or not
to entertain any application of such persons in future until such time the default is
cured.

d) Notwithstanding the above, the person committing default in payment shall pay
simple interest at the rate of 0.04% for each day of default.

Denial of Open Access by RLDC


RLDC can deny open access as per Sec-25A of CERC(Open Access) Regulations &
CERC order in 142/MP/2012 for consistent & willful default by an entity in payment of
following charges.
- DSM charge,
- Reactive energy charge,
- Congestion charge
- RLDC/NLDC fees & charge including ULDC charge.
- Transmission charge
- DSM/UI charges to SLDC by an intra-state entity for a short term inter-state
transaction.

RLDC can stop Open Access from the ‘default trigger date’ which is 90 days from the ‘due
date’, without approaching the Commission in terms of order of the Commission (dated
02.09.2015) in petition 142/MP/2012. The relevant para (Para 55, page 48) is reproduced
under for reference.
“55.It is to be noted that while RPS Regulations can be invoked for default on the part of a
regulated entity to pay the dues of generating companies and transmission licensees, Regulation
25A can be invoked for wilful and consistent default in paying UI/deviation charges, transmission
charges, reactive energy charges, congestion charges, and fees and charges for NLDC/RLDCs.
Therefore, only in case of default in payment of transmission charges, both Regulation 25A of Open
Access. Regulations and RPS Regulations can be invoked. In our view, when regulation of power
supply under RPS Regulations is resorted to for default in payment of transmission charges,
Regulation 25A should be invariably invoked as otherwise the defaulting entity would defeat
the regulation of power supply by scheduling under short term open access. Therefore, the
„wilful and consistent‟ default will be construed differently in both cases. In our view, default in
payment for a period of 90 days from the due date of payment of UI/deviation charges,
transmission charges, reactive energy charges, congestion charges and RLDC fees and charges
shall be considered as trigger point for invocation of Regulation 25A of Open Access Regulations
to deny short term open access to the defaulting entity. However, where a transmission licensee
resorts to regulation of power supply, denial of open access under Regulation 25A of Open Access

60 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


Regulations shall be triggered from the date of commencement of regulation of power supply
under RPS Regulations. As regards the second issue as to whether NLDC/RLDCs will be
required to approach the Commission for invoking Regulation 25A of Open Access Regulations
on case to case basis, it is clarified that NLDC/RLDCs shall be guided by the principle of default
trigger date as clarified above and shall not be required to approach the Commission for specific
directions in this regard on case to case basis”.

CHAPTER-8
SCHEDULING AND DESPATCH PROCEDURES
8.1 Overview
Section 6.4 of the I.E.G.C details the demarcation of responsibilities for the purpose of
scheduling and despatch. This chapter describes the procedure for scheduling with the
treatment to be accorded for special conditions also.

8.2 General
WRLDC shall coordinate interchange scheduling through the Web based Interface. All the
regional entities shall upload the DC/Requistion through above interface.
For the purpose of scheduling, each day would be divided into 96 blocks of 15-minutes
duration each and for each block, WRLDC would intimate each SLDC the drawl schedule
and to each ISGS and other generators, the generation injection schedule in advance as
outlined in section 8.3 below.
“The system of each regional entity shall be treated and operated as a notional control
area. The algebraic summation of scheduled drawal from ISGS and from contracts
through long–term access, medium-term and short–term open access arrangements shall
provide the drawl schedule of each regional entity, and this shall be determined in advance
on day-ahead basis. The regional entities shall regulate their generation and/or
consumers’ load so as to maintain their actual drawal from the regional grid close to the
above schedule. Deviation, if any, from the drawl schedule, shall be within the limits
specified by the Central Commission in DSM Regulations and it shall not cause system
parameters to deteriorate beyond permissible limits and shall not lead to unacceptable
line loading. Such deviation from net drawal schedule shall be priced through the
Deviation Settlement (DSM) mechanism as specified by the Central Commission.”

The power system under each SLDC constitutes a notional control area and hence the
State would be required to maintain their actual drawl from the grid close to such net drawl
schedule by regulating own generation and / or load, particularly when frequency falls to
49.9Hz and going above 50.05 Hz.

The dispatch schedule of each ISGS shall be some of the requisitions made by each of
the beneficiaries, restricted to their entitlements and subject to the maximum and minimum
value criteria and any other technical constraints as indicated by WRLDC.

WRPC Secretariat would ensure that any change in the allocations from each ISGS
is finalized and intimated to all concerned at least 24 hours in advance to facilitate trading

63 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


of such capacity if required. This is in line with spirit of clause 5.1.3 of the ABT order of
CERC.

8.3 Forecasting of Demand and RE Generation


IEGC mandates each SLDC shall carry out its own demand estimation from the historical
data and weather forecast data from time to time. Based on this demand estimate and the
estimated availability from different sources, SLDC shall plan demand management
measures like load shedding, power cuts, etc. and shall ensure that the same is
implemented by the SEB/distribution licensees.

RE generation is uncertain and variable but uncertainty and variability can and should be
minimized to the extent possible through proper forecasting. As per 6.5(23).iii of IEGC
(3rd Amendment) RLDC shall do forecasting for Regional Entity wind/solar generators for
system secutity purpose only. Eligible RE generators may use this forecasting for
scheduling their generation with no liability on RLDC on account of commercial impact
due to deviation.

8.4 Scheduling and Despatch Procedure


By 6 AM every day, the ISGS shall advise the concerned RLDC, the station-wise ex-power
plant MW and MWh capabilities foreseen for the next day, i.e., from 0000 hrs. to 2400 hrs.
of the following day.

The above information of the foreseen capabilities of the ISGS and the corresponding MW
and MWh entitlements of each State, shall be compiled by the RLDC every day for the
next day, and advised to all beneficiaries by 8 AM. The original beneficiary shall
communicate its consent to the ISGS by 9:45 AM each day about the quantum and
duration of power for next day for sale in the market The SLDCs shall review it vis-à-vis
their foreseen load pattern and their own generating capability including bilateral
exchanges, if any, and advise the RLDC by 3 PM their drawal schedule for each of the
ISGS in which they have Shares, long-term and medium-term bilateral interchanges,
approved short term bilateral interchanges.

While availability declaration by ISGS may have a resolution of 1 MW and 1 MWh, all
entitlements, requisitions and schedules shall be rounded off to the nearest decimal to
have a resolution of 0.1 MW.

The SLDCs may also give standing instructions to the RLDC such that the RLDC itself
may decide the best drawal schedules for the States.
a) Scheduling MTOA Transactions:

64 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


Following is the extract in the procedure approved by CERC regarding scheduling of
MTOA transactions:
“17. Scheduling of Medium Term Open Access transaction. The scheduling jurisdiction
and procedure, curtailment and revision of schedule of MTOA transactions, metering,
energy accounting and accounting of Deviation charges shall be as per the Regulations
and the Indian Electricity Grid Code, as amended from time to time. While scheduling on
day-ahead basis, long-term access customers would have the highest priority, followed
by medium term customers and then followed by short-term customers. “

Underutilization of transmission capacity: In case it is observed by RLDCs that the


MTOA/LTA customer request for scheduling is consistently (for more than 5 days) lower
than the capacity granted by the Nodal Agency (i.e.; CTU), RLDC may issue a notice to
such MTOA/LTA customer asking the reasons for such under-utilization. The MTOA
customer shall furnish the reasons for such under-utilization and will provide such details
like the reduced requirement, likely period, etc. by the following day. The un-utilized
transfer capability will then be released for scheduling of Short-term open access
transaction.”

b) Scheduling of collective transactions:

i. NLDC shall indicate to Power Exchange(s), the list of interfaces/control


areas/regional transmission systems on which unconstrained flows are required to
be advised by the Power Exchange(s) to the NLDC.

Power Exchange(s) shall furnish the interchange on various interfaces/control


areas/regional transmission systems as intimated by NLDC. Power Exchange(s)
shall also furnish the information of total drawal and injection in each of the regions.
Based on the information furnished by the Power Exchanges, NLDC shall check
for congestion. In case of congestion, NLDC shall inform the Exchanges about the
period of congestion and the available limit for scheduling of collective transaction
on respective interface/control area/transmission systems during the period of
congestion for Scheduling of Collective Transaction through the respective Power
Exchange. The limit for scheduling of collective transaction for respective Power
Exchange shall be worked out in accordance with CERC directives.

Based on the application for scheduling of Collective Transaction submitted by the


Power Exchange(s),

65 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


NLDC shall send the details (Scheduling Request of Collective Transaction) to
different RLDCs for final checking and incorporating them in their schedules. After
getting confirmation from RLDCs, NLDC shall convey the acceptance of scheduling
of collective transaction to Power Exchange(s). RLDCs shall schedule the
Collective Transaction at the respective periphery of the Regional Entities.

ii. The individual transactions for State Utilities/intra-State Entities shall be scheduled
by the respective SLDCs. Power Exchange(s) shall send the detailed break up of
each point of injection and each point of drawal within the State to respective
SLDCs after receipt of acceptance from NLDC. Power Exchange(s) shall ensure
necessary coordination with SLDCs for scheduling of the transactions.

iii. Timeline for above activities will be as per detailed procedure for Scheduling of
Collective Transaction issued in accordance with CERC (Open Access in inter-
state transmission) Regulations, 2008 and as amended from time to time.
c) By 6 PM each day, the RLDC shall convey:

i. The ex-power plant “despatch schedule” to each of the ISGS, in MW for different
time block, for the next day. The summation of the ex-power plant drawal
schedules advised by all beneficiaries shall constitute the ex-power plant
station-wise despatch schedule.

ii. The “net drawal schedule” to each regional entity, in MW for different time block,
for the next day. The summation of the station-wise ex-power plant drawal
schedules from all ISGS and drawal from /injection to regional grid consequent
to other long term access, medium term and short-term open access
transactions, after deducting the transmission losses (estimated), shall
constitute the regional entity-wise drawal schedule.

d) The SLDCs/ISGS shall inform any modifications/changes to be made in drawal


schedule/foreseen capabilities, if any, to RLDC by 10 PM or preferably earlier.

e) The ISGS hydroelectric generating stations are expected to respond to grid


frequency changes and inflow fluctuations. They would, therefore, be free to
deviate from the given schedule as long as they do not cause a grid constraint.

f) The declaration of the generating capability by hydro ISGS should include limitation
on generation during specific time periods, if any, on account of restriction(s) on
water use due to irrigation, drinking water, industrial, environmental considerations
etc. The concerned Load Despatch Centre shall periodically check that the
generating station is declaring the capacity and energy sincerely, and is not

66 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


manipulating the declaration with the intent of making undue money through
gaming.

g) Since variation of generation in run-of-river power stations shall lead to spillage,


these shall be treated as must run stations. All renewable energy power plants,
except for biomass power plants, , and non-fossil fuel based cogeneration plants
whose tariff is determined by the CERC shall be treated as ‘MUST RUN’ power
plants and shall not be subjected to ‘merit order despatch’ principles.
h) Run-of-river power station with pondage and storage type power stations are
designed to operate during peak hours to meet system peak demand. Maximum
capacity of the station declared for the day shall be equal to the installed capacity
including overload capability, (if any) minus auxiliary consumption, corrected for
the reservoir level. The Regional Load Despatch Centers shall ensure that
generation schedules of such type of stations are prepared and the stations
dispatched for optimum utilization of available hydro energy except in the event of
specific system requirements/constraints.
i) WRLDC will ensure following points while preparing the schedule.

a. The final drawl / dispatch schedule shall not give rise to any transmission
constraints. In case of such constraints, WRLDC shall moderate the
schedule to the required extent as per IEGC clause 6.4.12, 6.4.15

b. The final drawl / dispatch schedules shall be operationally reasonable


particularly in terms of ramping up / ramping down rates and ratio between
minimum and maximum generation levels.

c. The procedure to be followed for STOA bilateral curtailment has already


been indicated in Chapter-7

8.5 Revision of Schedules


a) In case of a forced outage of a unit, WRLDC will revise the schedules on the basis
of revised DC. The revised schedule will become effective from the 4th time block
counting the time block in which the revision is advised by the generator to be the
first one.

b) In the event of a situation arising out of bottle neck in evacuation of power due to
transmission constraints, WRLDC shall revise the schedule which shall become
effective from the 4th time block counting the time block in which the transmission
constraints has been brought to the notice of WRLDC as a first one. During the first

67 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


three time blocks, the schedules shall deem to have been revised to be equal to
the actual generation of ISGS and drawl by the States.

c) Revision of declared capability by generator and requisition by the beneficiaries for


the remaining period of the day shall be permitted with advance notice. Revised
schedules / declared capability in such cases shall become effective from the 4th
time block counting the time block in which the request for revision has been
received by RLDC to be the first one.
d) In case of transmission constraints, curtailment shall be done by WRLDC as per
IEGC clause 6.5.28.
e) The procedure for STOA curtailment is outlined in Chapter-7 at 7.4

f) If at any point of time, WRLDC observes that there is need for revision of schedules
in the interest of better system operation, it may do so on its own and in such cases,
the revised schedules shall become effective from the 4th time block counting the
time block in which the revised schedule is issued by RLDC to be the first one.

g) On completion of the operating day, the final schedule as implemented shall be


issued by WRLDC after incorporating all before the fact changes during the day of
operation.

h) The final schedule implemented by WRLDC shall be open to all constituents for
checking / verification for a period of five days and mistakes/omissions, if any,
would be rectified
i) Revision of STOA Transactions: Already outlined in capter-7

j) As per clause 6.5.17 of IEGC (2nd Amendment), revision of schedules during grid
disturbance is shall be done as given below
a. Schedule = Actual during the disturbance

b. WRLDC shall post a notice on web site declaring the “Grid Disturbance” in
case it has occurred in WR.
c. Certification of GD & its duration shall be done by RLDC

8.6 Scheduling of Un-requisitioned surplus


As per CERC order dated 5.10.2015 in petition No. 310/2014, generating stations whose
tariff is determined by this Commission under section 62 or adopted by this Commission
under section 63 of the Act shall be permitted to revise their schedule for URS power from

68 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


one beneficiary to another beneficiary of the same power station in terms of Regulation
6.5.18 of the Grid Code within 4 time blocks. Consent of the original beneficiary and the
new beneficiary shall be submitted by the ISGS intending to avail revision of schedule to
the concerned RLDC by mail.

In case original beneficiary requests back for its share of power then its schedule and
schedule of beneficiary who had availed URS power may be revised within four time
blocks as per the IEGC provisions and as amended from time to time.

8.7 Technical Minimum and Reserve Shut Down (RSD)


The regulation on Technical Minimum and RSD was notified by CERC vide IEGC 4th
Amendement. WRLDC shall facilitate the above in line with the detailed procedure
prepared by NLDC and approved by CERC vide order L-1/219/2017-CERC dated 5th May
2017.

8.8 Scheduling under Ancillary Services and Spinning Reserves


WRLDC/NLDC shall coordinate scheduling of eligible generating stations under Ancillary
services and Spinning reserves as per the detailed procedure prepared by NLDC and
approved by CERC in line with Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Ancillary
Services Operations) Regulations, 2015 vide notification 18/1/2013/Reg.Aff.(AS
Regul.)/CERC dated 13th August 2015.

8.9 SSP Scheduling


SSP is a joint power project shared by Maharashtra, Gujarat and M.P. The scheduling of
SSP is done by Narmada Control Authority (NCA) as mandated by IEGC clause 1.3 iii)
and 6.3.

Scheduling of SSP (Best Fit Schedule) by Narmada Control Authority (NCA): In line with
IEGC section 1.3(iii), NCA, being the nodal agency for scheduling generation of Sardar
Sarovar Hydro Power Plant (6x200 MW + 5x50 MW, has developed a procedure (viz. Best
fit Schedule) for optimal scheduling of SSP generation in consultation with all three
beneficiary states viz. Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra & Gujarat. The Best fit methodology
has been approved in WRPC forum & implemented by NCA under intimation to WRLDC
from February 2014. A summary of the methodology adopted by NCA for scheduling SSP
generation is given at Annex-XV.

8.10 Scheduling of Wind and Solar generation

69 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


Scheduling of Wind and Solar generation shall be done as per IEGC clause 6.5.23.
Deviation Settlement shall be in line with the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission
(Indian Electricity Grid Code) (Third Amendment) Regulations, 2016.

8.11 Exchange of Information


In order to avoid any adverse commercial effect on the ISGS/SLDCs, the need for a
reliable and fast communication arrangements for exchange of information in respect of
scheduling need not be over emphasized.

a) The revision of schedule would be required under the following conditions as


detailed at 8.4.above
i. Forced outage of an ISGS unit
ii. Transmission constraints resulting in output reduction in any ISGS
iii. Revision of DC by any ISGS
iv. Revision of requisition by any beneficiary

v. Suo Moto revision by WRLDC in the interest of better system operation and
system constraints. Format for giving intimation to the constituents regarding
Suo Moto Revision by WRLDC is given at Annex-XVI.

As the time available for schedule revision is limited (half an hour only) , some of the steps
mentioned in section 8.3 above would be skipped for e.g., in cases i), ii) & iii) above, there
need not be any fresh requisition from the beneficiaries and WRLDC would assume as
follows:

i. On occasions of downward revision: The constituents requisition will be


deemed as earlier MW requirement or maximum revised entitlement whichever
is less.

ii. On occasion of upward revision: The constituents requisition will be deemed as


earlier MW requirement if there were under-requisition by the constituents prior
to the revision otherwise the constituents requirement will be deemed as full
revised entitlement.

b) In view of large volume of information needed to be exchanged in a time bound


manner, the transfer of information between WRLDC and other constituents i.e.,
constituent States and ISGS will be carried out on internet only. The data available
on WRLDC website is to be checked by the regional entities. Any discrepancies

70 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


observed should be brought to the notice of WRLDC Control Room executives
immediately for necessary verification and corrections if any.

However, in case of contingencies like internet failure etc., the transfer of information could
be effected through alternate mode i.e., fax / telephone on request of concerned
SLDC/ISGS.

The ISGS, beneficiaries and all other users shall, by continuous access, seek the
information from WRLDC websites (www.wrldc.org / www.wrldc.in). Utilities can search data
from WRLDC website for their requisitions and declared capacities, as relevant to them.
In case of any discrepancy, it may please be brought to the notice of WRLDC Control
room, immediately.

At the end of the day, the final schedule as implemented after incorporating all before the
fact changes during the day of operation shall be made available by WRLDC on the
website.

CHAPTER 9
GRID DISTURBANCES AND REVIVAL PROCEDURES
9.1 Objective
The objective of this chapter is to facilitate restoration and resynchronization of affected
constituent systems in the wake of grid disturbance in the shortest possible time taking
into consideration all essential requirements like traction loads, industrial loads,
generation capability and the operational constraints of transmission system.

9.2 Overview
As per CEA regulations on Grid standards 2010,
a) “Grid disturbance” means tripping of one or more power system elements of
the grid like a generator, transmission line, transformer, shunt reactor, series
capacitor and Static VAR Compensator, resulting in total failure of supply at
a sub-station or loss of integrity of the grid, at the level of transmission
system at 220 kV and above.

b) “Grid incident” means tripping of one or more power system elements of the
grid like a generator, transmission line, transformer, shunt reactor, series
capacitor and Static VAR Compensator, which requires re-scheduling of
generation or load, without total loss of supply at a sub-station or loss of
integrity of the grid at 220 kV and above.

In the event of a grid disturbance, highest priority is to be accorded to early


restoration / revival of the system. During restoration, it is possible that system may
have to be operated with reduced security standards and under suspension of all
commercial incentives / penalties. This chapter forms the guidelines for
classifications of disturbances into different categories for the purpose of analysis
and reporting.

9.3 Grid incidents and disturbances


a) Classification of Grid incidents and disturbances
As per CEA regulations on Grid standards 2010, the categorization of grid incidents and
grid disturbances shall be as follows:-

73 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


b) Categorization of grid incidents in increasing order of severity,-

Category GI-1 - Tripping of one or more power system elements of the Grid like a
generator, transmission line, transformer, shunt reactor, series capacitor and Static VAR
Compensator, which requires re-scheduling of generation or load, without total loss of
supply at a sub-station or loss of integrity of the grid at 220 kV

Category GI-2 - Tripping of one or more power system elements of the grid like a
generator, transmission line, transformer, shunt reactor, series capacitor and Static VAR
Compensator, which requires re-scheduling of generation or load, without total loss of
supply at a sub-station or loss of integrity of the grid at 400 kV
c) Categorization of grid disturbance in increasing order of severity,-

Category GD-1 - When less than ten per cent of the antecedent generation or load in a
regional grid is lost;

Category GD-2 - When ten per cent to less than twenty percent of the antecedent
generation or load in a regional grid is lost.

Category GD-3 - When twenty per cent to less than thirty per cent of the antecedent
generation or load in a regional grid is lost;

Category GD-4 - When thirty per cent to less than forty per cent. of the antecedent
generation or load in a regional grid is lost;

Category GD-5 - When forty per cent or more of the antecedent generation or load in a
regional grid is lost.

Explanation: For the purpose of categorization of grid disturbances, percentage loss of


generation or load, whichever is higher shall be considered.

The dispatch schedule for ISGS, Other Gencos and net drawl schedules (including STOA)
for constituents would be suspended on case to case basis as decided by WRLDC looking
into the network and generation affected. As per IEGC clause 6.5.17, scheduled
generation of all the ISGS and scheduled drawl of all the beneficiaries shall be deemed
to have been revised to be equal to their actual generation/drawl for all the time blocks
affected by the grid disturbance. Certification of grid disturbance and its duration shall be
done by WRLDC.

d) In any case, if only one state system or one ISGS is affected, the schedules would
not be suspended but only revised.

74 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


e) In case of transmission constraints, curtailment shall be done by WRLDC as per
IEGC clause 6.5.28

9.4 System Revival


The recovery of the system shall be carried out in line with the document ‘Recovery
Procedure for Western Region’

The general guidelines and precautions to be followed during system revival are indicated
below:

While building up the system, it would be ensured that the voltage at the charging end
remains within limits by taking reactive support from Generators and ensuring all Bus
reactors/ line reactors in service.

a) Security of the network being built up would be strengthened at the earliest by


closing the parallel lines available in the restoration path.

b) Priority would be accorded for extending supply to Railway tractions and


installations where safety is of paramount important such as Nuclear power
stations

c) All switching instructions for a particular system have to emanate from a single
agency i.e. SLDC/CPCC as the case may be. For synchronization of two systems,
WRLDC would be the coordinating agency.

d) During revival, only authorized personnel would be present in Control room of


substation / power station / SLDC / WRLDC so as to expedite restoration.

e) In line with section 5.8(e) of IEGC, all communication channels for restoration
process shall be used for operational communication only until the grid normalcy is
restored.
f) Restricted Governor Mode of Operation and generators with excitation control
would help in proper frequency/voltage control.

g) Synchronizing facility available at major grid substations will be used so as to have


flexibility in choosing the point of synchronization.

h) All SLDCs / ISGS/ISTS / RLDC and other users shall make available a copy of the
latest ‘Recovery Procedures for Western Region’ for ready reference to their
operating staff in Control room.

9.5 Declaration of System Normalization

75 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


System normalization will be declared by WRLDC as follows:
a) All major sub-systems have been synchronized and

b) A minimum of around 50% of the total loss of generation at ISGS stations during
the incident have been revived or 50% of the last normal day’s system demand is
catered.

9.6 Disturbance Recorders


Following are the provisions in various statutes related to disturbance recorders:

 IEGC (2010) clause No. 4.6.3

 IEGC (2010) clause No. 5.2 (r)

c) Generating stations.

76 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


9.7 Event Reporting for GD/GI events:
In compliance to Section 5.9.6 of IEGC WRLDC will report any GI/GD event to all users
of WR grid and NLDC in the form of a flash report (Format given at Annex-XVII) after
getting firsthand information from the site over phone / email. Subsequently a detailed
analysis of the event shall be carried out by WRLDC on receiving relevant data
(Disturbance Recorder output/Event Logger output/Sequence of Events (SOE)
data/Relay & Window indication etc.) from site and a detailed report be prepared and
communicated to all SLDCs/STUs/users/NLDC. The utility in which system the incident

CHAPTER 12
SCADA / EMS IN WESTERN REGION
12.1 Introduction
It has always been the endeavour of WRLDC to undertake projects to implement state of
the art tools and deploy new technology in its operation, more so, considering the rapid
expansion of the western regional grid. Various facilities and brief description on some of
the major technological deployment are given in the subsequent sections:

1. EMS / SCADA system

EMS/SCADA package has been commissioned in Western Region for the first time under
Unified Load Dispatch & Communication (ULDC) project during July 2006 to facilitate load
dispatching functions. The scheme envisaged installation and commissioning of Remote
Terminal Units, integration of existing RTUs in Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh,
Goa and Union Territory of Daman & Diu and Dadra & Nagar Haveli, installation and
commissioning of dedicated communication system comprising of fiber optic and PLCC
system, installation and commissioning of auxiliary power system such as UPS, DG set,
48V DC supply system and installation of EPABX system. Under the scheme, the
Regional Load Despatch Centre (RLDC ) and Central Project Coordination Centre
(CPCC) were established at Mumbai and Jabalpur respectively whereas State Load
Despatch Centers (SLDCs) were established at Bhilai (Chhattisgarh), Gotri (Gujarat),
Jabalpur (M.P) and Panjim (Goa). Under each SLDC, sub-LDCs were also established.
ULDC scheme operates in a hierarchical structure consisting of state-of-art equipment
and advanced SCADA-EMS functions. The scheme has been phased out on 13 October
2015 after expiry of 5 years Long Term Service Agreement (LTSA) with the supplier (M/s
GE India). Presently new EMS/SCADA supplied by M/s GE T&D (formerly Alstom T&D)
has been installed in Western Region Load Despatch Centre and SLDC/Sub-LDCs of
Gujarat , Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, GOA , DD and DNH. Under this project SCADA
system is being installed for first time in Daman & Diu and Dadra & Nagar Haveli. Further
for the first time, full fledged disaster recovery facilities at - State and regional levels have
been planned. Accordingly backup control centres have been established for Western
Region Load Dispatch Centre, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, GOA under the
new EMS/SCADA project. Migratation to new EMS/SCADA at all control centers has been
completed on 31st March 2016.
Some features of the New EMS / SCADA system are listed below:-

 Installation of SCADA/EMS system at Main & Backup Control Centers of WRLDC,


MPPTCL, GETCO, CSPTCL and GSED and SCADA Systems at Union territories of
Daman Diu (DDED) & Dadra Nagar Haveli (DNHED).
 The Back up Control Centres are capable to perform all functions of the Main control
Centre except DTS.
 Integration of existing & new RTUs with Main & Backup Control Centers.

87 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


 Installation of Data Concentrators/ Terminal Servers.
 Integration of SCADA/EMS systems of MSETCL with Main & backup control,centers
of WRLDC.
 Integration of Wide area measurement system (WAMS)/Phasor Data concentrator
(PDC) with Control Centers.
 Integration of Renewable Energy Control Centers with Main and Backup Control
Centers.
 Installation of Auxiliary Power supply system for Main and backup control Centers.

Data flow philosophy under the new EMS/SCADA system:

Under the new scheme, RTU data is


communicated to both main and backup
control centre at Sub LDC, SLDC and RLDC
for direct reporting RTU. Subsequently real
time values are configured on ICCP to update
in hierarchical manner for main control centres
at SLDC, RLDC & NLDC where as back up
control centres are also configured in similar
manner as per data flow philosophy. Data flow
from sub station / Generating station upto
NLDC is shown in the figure.

2. Brief Overview on NEW SCADA from


Alstom
The GE SCADA/EMS system in WRLDC has
been replaced by GE (formerly Alstom) SCADA/EMS system, under Replacement /
Upgradation of Existing SCADA/EMS Systems at WRLDC and SLDCs of Western Region.
The applications of the new SCADA system are broadly grouped into the following:

i) SCADA Applications
ii) Information Storage and Retrieval (ISR)
iii) Network Management System (NMS)
For the first time fully functional back-up control centre is implemented as part of the
project which will address business continuity concerns, crisis management and disaster
recovery.

88 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


Typical functions required for electrical grid operation are included under SCADA
applications and are briefly mentioned in this section. Field data is accessed through RTU
data acquisition. Analog, Status and SoE data are acquired through either periodic scans
or by exception. Demand scan feature is also available under predefined situation and on
user intervention. Both IEC 60870-5-104 and IEC 60870-5-101 protocols are supported
for RTU data acquisition. Exchange of real-time data with other Control Centres and
between Main and Back-up Control Centre is ensured through industry standard protocols
like ICCP- over a network of communications links; Data Exchange with Information
Storage and Retrieval (ISR) system as well as with offline system facilitate post event data
analysis, reporting, database updating through csv, spreadsheet, excel, etc. Data
Processing facilities prepare the data from various sources like telemetry, calculations,
manual entry, web services of offline applications, EMS applications, ICCP, SoE, ISR, etc
for use by the power system applications of the SCADA system.
SCADA/EMS application consists of Topology Processor for power system network status
processing function. Topology Processor analyses the open/closed status of switching
devices, such as circuit breakers and isolators, so that substation/network topology is
appropriately displayed for real time operation. Topology Processor is configured to
distinguish energized, de-energized (line open from both ends) and partially energized
(line open from one end) power system elements such as lines, transformers, bus-bars,
generating units etc. so that associated displays correctly show the field status of the
substation/network. The topology is re-evaluated and updated on status change of
switching devices. Sequence of Events (SoE) data are time stamped chronological listing
of status change/events, collected from the RTUs directly and through connected control
and is helpful for various data analysis, say, event analysis.
Information Storage and Retrieval (ISR) system facilitate storage, archival and retrieval of
process parameters to create valuable information for grid operation. It has provisions to
access this data and display it through high-quality graphics, plots, trend and Management
Information System (MIS) reports. Data historian captures raw production data in real-
time and facilitates user-configurable graphical visualization, reports and analysis. It
enables display of current and past operating conditions on desktops throughout the
enterprise beyond the control room. The data historian provides operators, engineers and
management with direct access to a single integrated source of information.
Network Management System (NMS) performs important functions like, Security
Management to protect systems and network from unauthorised access, manage user
access, define rights and privileges. It provides Inventory and Performance Management of
the network as well as does Fault Management to recognise, log and identify fault on network
and connected machines, nodes or devices.

3. Communication Facilities
Dedicated Communication network for reliable real time data flow for grid operation has
been commissioned under ULDC scheme. The communication system is being further

89 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


augmented by POWERGRID under Master Communication Plan (MCP) for Western
Region. Under MCP, 10,000 kms of OPGW is under installation in Western Region with
upgraded end equipment. The proposed communication network for Western Region is
given below.

12.2 SCADA Data acquisition


The SCADA system has been designed for continuous real time data availability for grid
operation and control with high level of reliability. In order to achieve this, redundancy has
been provided at communications and at each SCADA function level. Real time data
comprising of around 508,000 number of analog measurands (MW, MVAR, KV,
Frequency, OLTC tap position) and approximately 60,000 number of status indication
points (Isolator, Circuit breaker, Sequence of events – protection operation) are being
acquired at WRLDC from more than 180 nodes (mostly above 400 kV) across the Western
region. Data from these nodes are updated every 10-12 seconds for analog measurands
and every (2) 4 seconds by exception for status indication points. The real time data are
archived to historical data base in eDNA historian and various reports, analysis, graphs,
charts etc. are prepared for reporting day-to-day functioning to various agencies/

90 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


departments including CEA and MOP. Important parameters from stations in other regions
are also available at WRLDC through ICCP from NLDC.

12.3 SCADA Operational Requirements


a) Validation / Correctness of Data :
The entire gamut of real time monitoring of the regional grid and EMS functions
depends upon the availability, reliability and authenticity of telemetered data. It is
therefore essential that various control centers viz, RLDC / SLDCs / Sub LDCs /
substations take responsibility towards authenticity / validation of the data on a
regular basis so that the facilities created in the scheme is optimally utilized to
benefit grid operation. It is therefore considered essential that each control centre
i.e., RLDC/SLDCs/Sub LDCs/substation takes up the exercise of data validation /
authenticity periodically preferably once in three month or whenever any
discrepancy is noticed to ensure that error free data from various nodes are
available to the control centers.
b) Availability of Speech and Data Communication System

In the event of commissioning of new generating station / substation / transmission


elements etc., it is essential that reliable and efficient speech and data
communication system are provided by the concerned agency to facilitate data up
to WRLDC / SLDC as the case may be. In this connection, clause 4.6.2 of IEGC is
relevant and hence reproduced below:

Reliable and efficient speech and data communication system shall be provided to
facilitate necessary communication and data exchange, and supervision / control
of the grid by the RLDC, under normal and abnormal conditions. All agencies shall
provide systems to telemeter power system parameter such as flow, voltage and
status of switches / transformer taps etc. in line with interface requirements and
other guidelines made available to RLDC / SLDC as the case may be, shall also
be established by the concerned agency as specified by CTU in connection
agreement. All agencies in coordination with CTU shall provide the required
facilities at their respective ends and RLDC / SLDC as specified in the connection
agreement.

Every new substation/generating station, after verifying each data point with
WRLDC, is required to submit necessary details as per format B-3 during FTC (first
time charging) request. Confirmation from SCADA is given based on verification of
these details submitted and is an inherent part of approval procedure for first time
charging requests.
91 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017
c) Availability of RTUs

Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) constitute an important element of the SCADA


system for transfer of analog measurands and status indications continuously from
various nodes to the control centre. Hence, it is essential that RTUs installed in the
system and reporting to different control centers are monitored and maintained in
a proper way to ensure continuity of data. Failure of any RTU may cause stoppage
of data and thereby may lead to operational problem. Hence, it is important that
any problem encountered in RTU causing failure of data to the control centre is
attended at the earliest preferably within 24 hours so that information flow is
restored. Further redundant RTU/Gateway is to installed by substation/generating
stations with secondary channel for ensuring minimum down time.
d) Availability of Dedicated Communication System

In order to transfer the real time data from RTUs to sub-SLDCs / SLDCs / WRLDC,
communication backbone network consisting of fiber optic and PLCC links are
provided and the same need to be maintained properly. In case of any failure of
the link i.e., fiber cut between two locations causing complete failure of upstream
data, failure of supply to the repeater station etc., immediate action needs to be
initiated by the concerned authority to restore the system data as quickly as
possible preferably within 24 hours to avoid any operational problem. Data
communication protection path is required to be established for every path
especially for nodes connected to critical grid elements and major control areas
e) Upkeep / Maintenance of Control Centers

All out efforts should be made by WRLDC / SLDC / sub-SLDCs to ensure that
proper environmental conditions are maintained in all the control centers for proper
functioning of the equipment and in the event of failure of any auxiliary system such
as Air conditioning, UPS etc., immediate action is initiated by the concerned to
restore the system at the earliest. Quarterly Preventive maintenance activities of
SCADA system is done wherein all servers are cleaned and backups are taken.

12.4 Energy Management System (EMS)


Real time Network Analysis or State estimation is carried out periodically every five
minutes. The network modelling is done in parallel with SCADA configuration and the
database is updated as and when a new modification or addition in the network occurs.
The information about the integration of new element in the grid is collected beforehand

92 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


and is modelled in the network before its first time charging. The EMS in SCADA system
is used by real time security desk for evaluating important contingencies by doing
powerflow on the base case provided by State estimator. The EMS system is used for
monitoring the real time angles between important corridoors thus keeping the stress on
the system in check.

12.5 SCADA data on WRLDC intranet


All the analog data reporting in SCADA system are archived in historian. Daily reports of
all Western region important grid parameters such as generation, demand, line flows,
400kV and 765kV bus voltages, constituent’s actual drawl from grid, ICT flows etc. are
generated and posted in Intranet at WRLDC. A Web-browser based interface is provided
on WRLDC intranet for access of all historical data by user departments for their
respective requirements.

CHAPTER 13
WIDE AREA MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS IN WR
13.1 Introduction
One of the greatest advantages of synchrophasor technology is availability of time
synchronized data obtained from various grid stations spread across a wide geographical
area covering thousands of square kilometers. With the help of Synchrophasor
technology, system operators can monitor the magnitude and angle of each phase of the
three phase voltage/current, frequency, rate of change of frequency and angular
separation at every few millisecond interval (say 40 milliseconds) in the Load Despatch
Centre. Thus the transient / dynamic behavior of the power system can be observed in
near real-time at the control centre which hitherto was possible only in offline mode in the
form of substation Disturbance Records or through offline dynamic simulations performed
on network models.

The endeavor started with a demo project in the year 2012 with two Phasor Measurement
Units (PMUs) at Raipur and Bhadrawati substations and one Phasor Data Concentrator
(PDC) at WRLDC, subsequently interim project with eleven number of PMUs was
commissioned. As on date twenty PMUs are reporting to WRLDC PDC from eighteen
substations.

In continuation to pilot projects, during FY 2016-17 around 22 Substations consisting of


150 individual PMUs have been successfully integrated with newly commissioned
WRLDC WAMS system under Unified Real Time dynamic State measurement (URTDSM)
project.

Thus within a span of five years synchrophasor initiatives resulted in understanding and
harnessing the benefits of the technology with a vision towards large scale deployment of
PMUs all over the grid.

13.2 WAMS Pilot Projects details


WRLDC has installed PMUs (National Intruments-cRIO-9024) in selected eleven locations
under WR PMU/PDC Interim Pilot Project, four PMUs (SEL) under NLDC project, Three
PMUs are installed by Independent Power Producer (IPP). PDC installed to align and
aggregate all Nineteen PMUs data at WRLDC. Visualization and historian software is
installed at WRLDC to store data as well as operator console visualization. Real time data
is being transmitted through dedicated communication links from respective sites, and are
having a bandwidth ranging from 512Kbps to 2Mbps depending upon location and

94 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


feasibility. All the PMUs transfer the Synchrophasor data to PDC in IEEE C37.11-2005
standard.

13.3 WAMS Applications at WRLDC


The availability of Synchrophasor data at control center has become first-hand information
for grid operator to view and analyze any transient phenomenon occurring in the grid.
Various events that were un-noticed with present SCADA system can now be detected
and analyzed, opening up a completely new era in power system monitoring and control.
There is a paradigm shift in monitoring the grid after the commissioning of Synchrophasor
pilot projects. Now-a-days control centre operator first observes the signature of events
through PMUs data and then refers to SCADA system for the details of the events.

Applications based on Synchrophasor data has become an effective tool for analysis of
grid events and facilitated preparation of an accurate ‘first information report’ of an event
occurring in the grid.

96 | O p e r a t i n g Procedure for Western Region 2017


Apart from post fault analysis, synchrophasor data has been utilized for monitoring &
analysis of oscillation, Computation of Frequency Response Characteristic, Validation of
correct operation of protection system, island detection & re-synchronization of grid,
Dynamic model validation, Visualization of special events such as HVDC frequency
controller testing.

Various customized displays have been made for providing situational awareness on the
grid at WRLDC control room. These displays include frequency, df/dt, sequence voltages,
sequence currents, phase voltages, phase currents and low frequency modes existing in
the system.

The schematic diagram is as under:

Sequence of islanding:
a) One unit at KAPS will be selected for islanding operation and remaining unit will be
selected for house load operation.
b) At 48.60 Hz frequency, load shedding at Vapi S/S will take place in order to restrict
the load of Vapi S/S to about 185 MW.
c) At 48.40 Hz frequency, tripping of 220 KV feeders except 220 KV D/C KAPP - Vapi
at Vapi S/S will take place.
d) At 48.20 Hz frequency, tripping of 220 KV feeders except 220 KV D/C KAPP - Vapi
at KAPS end will take place. Hence, island will be formed at 48.20 Hz.
6. Sugen Islanding scheme (under implementation):
Sugen is having three units of 382.5 MW each.

The schematic diagram of island is as under:

Setting of Sugen islanding scheme:

1. At 48.50 Hz, 220 KV D/C Sugen - Kim line will be opened.

Annex-XV
BEST FIT Scheduling of SSP
SALIENT FEATURES

1. Based on quantum of water allocated for RBPH in Ten Daily issued by SSRRC,
NCA will provide information of total machine hours and MW generation possible
for a given day in advance to the power beneficiary States.
2. On receipt of above information, each power beneficiary State will submit their
demand (P1) set to NCA in terms of MW (15 minutes time block wise
requirement).
(i) Based on the first priority demand (P1) set submitted by each power
beneficiary States EMC, NCA will prepare a provisional “Best Fit
Schedule” and will intimate to each power beneficiary States.
(ii) In case, even after accommodating the first priority demand (P1) set of
a beneficiary State, some energy still remains to be allocated to them or
if any beneficiary State want to have a review in the power allocated in
the provisional “Best Fit Schedule” then they can submit the additional
demand (P2) set.
3. Based on the additional demand (P2) set if submitted by States within the
prescribed Time Line then the provisional “Best Fit Schedule will be tuned
accordingly and the day ahead schedule will be finalized and intimated to all
concerned parties.
4. EMC, NCA will prepare “Best Fit Schedule” for the next day as per the following
method (Td=Total sum Demand of each power beneficiary State, Tav= Total
Availability in MW in a time block)
In a time block if:
a. Situation I :
If Td <= Tav, then the power allocated in that time block will be as per the
demand submitted by each power beneficiary State
Example:
GUJ MAH MP Total Demand Total Availability
Entitlement 168 595.5 283.5 1050
Demand 175 350 175 700
Total 175 350 175
Allocation

b. Situation II:
If 1 or 2 states submit demand less than their entitlement, then their non-
requisitioned share will be allocated to other power beneficiary State
requesting power more than their share.
Example:
GUJ MAH MP Total Demand Total Availability
Entitlement 168 595.5 283.5 1050
Demand 175 350 875 1400
Total 175 350 525
Allocation
c. Situation III:
If Td >Tav & All the three states submit demand more than their
entitlement then Tav will be allocated in 57: 27:16 as per their power
share mentioned in NWDT award.
Example:
GUJ MAH MP Total Demand Total Availability
Entitlement 168 595.5 283.5 1050
Demand 175 700 875 1750
Total 168 595.5 283.5
Allocation

If there is any mutual agreement among three power beneficiary States


then for particular time blocks adjustment will be made accordingly.

5. REAL-TIME COORDINATION OF NCA WITH WRLDC

• Revision of schedule in Real-time by WRLDC

“Shift-in-Charge, EMC, Control Room, NCA, Indore shall be responsible for real
time interaction with WRLDC, SLDC-Jabalpur, Kalwa and Gotri for operation of
SSP machines, any revision in the schedule, running of machines in Condenser
mode and opening of any transmission lines to contain high voltage.”[Para 6.8 of
the Best-fit Scheduling Procedure]

NCA shall revise the schedule in real-time under emergency conditions of Grid
requirement (.e.g withdrawal/stoppage of generation, line/corridor congestion)
informed by WRLDC for ensuring Grid security. [Para 10 of the Best-fit Scheduling
Procedure]

• Settlement of Energy in case schedule is revised on WRLDC’s


instruction

“If in any time block RBPH machines were not initially scheduled in the Day ahead
schedule but on the request of WRLDC to meet the Grid requirement if any RBPH
machines do run then the energy so generated (Sum of recorded readings of all
the 6 Nos. of SEM (PGCIL) installed after Generator Transformer of each RBPH
machines) in that time block will be distributed in the ratio prescribed in NWDT
Award.” [Para 8.8 (v) of the Best-fit Scheduling Procedure]

“If in any time block WRLDC request to run additional machines then the power
generated from these additional machines will be allocated to each power
beneficiary State in the ratio prescribed in NWDT Award”. [Para 8.8 (vi) of the
Best-fit Scheduling Procedure]

“If in any time block WRLDC request to stop scheduled RBPH machines then the
shares of each power beneficiary States will be reduced in the ratio of the power
allocated to them in that time block”. [Para 8.8 (vii) of the Best-fit Scheduling
Procedure]

• Revision of schedule in Real-time in case of excess inflows


In case of excess inflows to SSP on account of either rains at the upstream of
SSP or more releases than the projected, from the upstream Hydro Electric Power
Projects the generation schedule will be revised in consultation with WRLDC. This
additional Power generation at SSP would be allocated to the power beneficiary
States in the ratio prescribed under NWDT Award. [Para 10 of the Best-fit
Scheduling Procedure]

• Compliance of instructions of WRLDC by NCA

“Shift-in-Charge, EMC, Control Room, NCA shall comply with the Real Time
instructions of WRLDC regarding operation of RBPH machines in generation and
condenser mode and also opening of SSP tie lines for control of over-voltage or
for Grid security subjected to the observation of SSP water level prescribed in the
Ten Daily OM issued by SSRRC and safety precaution prescribed for SSP by the
administrative machinery.” [Para 8.7 of the Best-fit Scheduling Procedure]

• Settlement of energy during operation of SSP machines in condenser


mode

“The power that would be generated at Sardar Sarovar and pumped into the
Grid would be but a small fraction of the Grid capacity. The generation of
power has not to be viewed in terms of Megawatts generated in any period
but in terms of energy (Megawatts hours) produced during the period and
absorbed in the Grid system.” [Para 2.10.2 of Report of Narmada Water
Dispute Tribunal]

“If any RBPH machine operated in the condenser mode, then in those time blocks
the power consumed by machines operating in SCO mode will be taken as zero
as per the decision taken in the 41st PSC of NCA, 47th CCM of WRPC and 5th
WPRC meetings.”[Para 8.8 (iii) of the Best fit scheduling procedure by NCA]
