 Issuing No Objection Certificate/Standing Clearance for
inter-state open access transactions and facilitating the same
consequent upon the approval from Nodal RLDC.
 SLDC shall effect real time monitoring of difference
between generation and load of the area covered by each
islanded scheme in operation. In case of large deviation,
SLDC shall effect appropriate changes in area covered by an
islanding scheme by making operative or blocking the
tripping of lines through respective under frequency relays.
These changes have to be informed to ERPC/ERLDC as and

 SLDC shall effect real time monitoring of difference
between generation and load of the area covered by each
islanded scheme in operation. In case of large deviation,
SLDC shall effect appropriate changes in area covered by an
islanding scheme by making operative or blocking the
tripping of lines through respective under frequency relays.
 The In-charge of Grid Substations where under frequency
relays for islanding purposes are installed shall confirm to
SLDC through a numbered message, the status of UF relays
which are blocked / made operative as per latest system
conditions / changing loads. No alterations in Under
Frequency Relays (UFR) status/settings shall be made
without specific approval through a coded message from
SLDC. At the time of change in system status necessitating
blocking / operating of these relays, the shift engineer of LD
centre shall convey the changed requirement to respective
GSS and obtain confirmation that the relay status has been
suitably changed. It has to be ensured that due permission is
taken from ERLDC in respect of any such tripping of inter-
state lines and interconnection with ISTS.
 The power system operation is a dynamic situation, the
SLDC shall keep on monitoring the system status at least
once in every shift and ensure that status of UFRs be kept
suitably operative / blocked with correct settings as per
system requirements, so that in the event of major grid
disturbance, Islanding takes place smoothly.

as such shutdown affecting power supply in the Distribution
licensee area and if possible make an alternative
arrangement for supply of power through alternative
transmission lines before allowing for shutdown.
 To prepare daily report of power position, record schedule &
actual drawl of DISCOMs, schedule & actual injection of
power by the intra state generators for preparation of
monthly energy accounting & Deviation schedule of
DISCOMs & Intra State Generators and forward the same to
the Commercial wing of SLDC.
 To prepare daily & weekly report of power supply positions
and forward the same to MD / North, MD / South, MD /
Transmission & CMD / BSP(H)CL.

 To check the time drift and take appropriate action in
consultation with ERLDC and match the same with the intra
state generators for proper energy accounting and audit.
 In order to isolate and save healthy parts of the grid during
any disturbance, under frequency islanding schemes have to
be designed and developed based on system study and
simulating the conditions requiring isolation of a generator
from rest of the grid.

with ERPC and shall modify as per system requirement.
 SLDC shall formulate one or more sets or subsets of
islanding scheme(s) to prevent tripping of generating units
operating within the state.
