http://srldc.in/Reports.aspx under the menu: Reports->Daily->
"TL under Forced Outage").
4.4 Certificate for Healthiness of Batteries
 As per the MoP direction, given in pursuant to recommendations of the Enquiry
Committee (NEW grid disturbance on 30th & 31st July, 2012), the monthly
certificate for healthiness of batteries, installed at 220 KV and above voltage level
Substations (for power supply to Relays, RTUs and PLCC equipment) are required
to be obtained by RPC’s from their respective Constituents and furnish the same
to CEA/ MoP.
 With reference to above, the Constituents have been requested to submit the

5. Protection Audit of various 220 kV & above Stations in Southern Region

As proposed by the PCSC-80, conduction of protection audit of various 220 kV &
above Stations in Southern Region was approved in the 35th meeting of SRPC.
Nominations in this regard were obtained from all Utilities. The list of stations to be
audited and tentative schedule were discussed in PCSC-86 and had been circulated
vide SRPC mail dated 04.09.2019. Audit related instructions had been conveyed vide
SRPC mail dated 24.09.2019.
As per the schedule the Protection audit of 19 substations scheduled in the month of
October and 33 substations scheduled in the month of November were successfully
completed. All officers nominated for audit in the month of December are requested
to take necessary measures for smooth conduct of audit. All coordinating Officers of
audits are also requested to ensure that filled in audit formats reach the concerned
audit team with a copy marked to SRPC well in advance.
During Protection audit of some stations it has been noted that in spite of enabling
Autoreclosure in many lines at 220kV and above, they have been kept in non-auto
mode. Constituents are requested to furnish status of implementation of A/R on all
lines at 220kV and above clearly indicatating whether A/R is in service or enabled in
non-auto mode.
6. Updating of Protection Audit format
All SR constituents were requested to share their suggestions/ modifications/ deletions

required in the protection audit format, vide SRPC mail dated 02.08.2019, so as to update the
same as per recent trends followed in industry. Inputs have been received from TSTRANSCO
only. All constituents are requested to furnish the inputs in this regard before 06.12.2019 for
compiling and further discussion in forthcoming PCSC meeting.
7. Other Protection Issues, if any, with the permission of the Chair
8. Sending Agenda items for the PCSC meetings
As per the Guidelines of CEA/MOP, it has been decided to conduct the PCSC meetings on
monthly basis. It is requested that Agenda Items for the PCSC meetings, if any, may please
be sent latest by 5th working day of the month to SRPC Secretariat to compile and circulate
the same so as to have fruitful discussions in the PCSC meetings.
9. Date of next PCSC meeting
The tentative date of 89th meeting of PCSC is 13th& 14th February 2019.
