 CHAPTER – 1

GENERAL

1.1 OVERVIEW

The power system in the country is operated and controlled on a regional

basis. Each region comprises a mix of state utilities, central sector
generating and transmission utilities, independent power producers and
other agencies that play an important role in the integrated grid operation.
The requirement to bring out a code, which lays down the rules,
guidelines and standards to be followed by all such agencies, was being
felt for quite some time. A comprehensive document against such
requirement had been released in December 1999, in the form of the
Indian Electricity Grid Code (IEGC) by Power Grid Corporation of India
Ltd. in its capacity as the Central Transmission Utility (CTU) and in line
with the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission’s (CERC) orders dated
21st December 1999. The IEGC brings together the different terms,
encompassing all the utilities connected to / or using the Inter-State
Transmission System (ISTS) and provides documentation in regard to
relationship between various users of the ISTS. It lays down the rules and
guidelines for planning, development, operation and maintenance of the
grid in an efficient, reliable and economical manner.

1.2 INTERNAL OPERATING PROCEDURES

1.2.1 The Section 6.0 of the IEGC covers the operational aspects for the
regional grids and clause 6.1(d) of the code specifies the requirement to
prepare the set of detailed internal operating procedure for each regional
grid to be developed and maintained by respective RLDC, in consultation
with the regional constituents. This document viz. “Operating Procedures
for Northern Region” has been prepared in line with the above
requirements and consists of the following chapters:

Chapter – 1 : General
Chapter – 2 : Network Security & System Operation
Chapter – 3 : Demand Estimation & Control
Chapter – 4 : Outage Planning
Chapter – 5 : Bilateral Agreements
Chapter – 6 : Scheduling & Despatch
Chapter – 7 : Grid Disturbances & Revival
Chapter – 8 : Event Information & Reports
Chapter – 9 : Settlement System

1.2.2 The highlights of this document are mentioned below:

1
 i) The list of important elements of the Northern regional grid in line with
the stipulations under Chapter 6 viz. Operating Code of the IEGC is
enclosed at Annex-I.

ii) Considering that demand estimation & control is under the purview of the
State Load Despatch Centres (SLDCs), chapter 3 describes briefly the
SLDC’s interface with NRLDC with respect to demand estimation &
control.

iii) Chapter 4 contains the procedure to be followed for outage planning &
availing the same, handling unforeseen outages and deferment of
planned shutdowns.

iv) In order to optimise the load-generation balance between different

control areas, the bilateral agreements between two constituents within
or outside the region play a very important role. Chapter 5 indicates the
minimum requirements of a bilateral agreement, which would facilitate
scheduling.

v) The scheduling procedure to be followed in the regional grid is indicated

in chapter 6, indicating clearly the treatment to be accorded for special
situations in Northern Region, as well as during revisions of schedule.
The order on Availability Based Tariff (ABT) states that the generation
schedule and drawal schedule issued / revised by NRLDC shall become
effective from the designated time block irrespective of communication
success. The availability of a reliable and fast communication system to
achieve the desired purpose assumes prime importance and has also
been covered in this chapter. The provisions on scheduling could be
implemented even without ABT, however these would have a total
commercial bearing only after introduction of ABT.

vi) Chapter 7 on ‘Grid Disturbances & Revival’ provides criteria for

categorizing disturbances & the declaration of normalization. The same
criteria could also be used for suspension & restoration of schedules.
This classification is however subject to change, depending on the
CTU’s scheme finalised in consultation with the constituents of all the
regions and approval by the CERC. The general precautions to be
observed and steps taken during restoration are also included in this
chapter.

vii) Timely and accurate reporting of events and exchange of information

plays an extremely vital role in an integrated system. The protocol to be
followed in such cases is indicated in chapter 8.

viii) Chapter-9 gives a broad outline of the settlement system, which is an

important post despatch activity. This activity can commence
immediately after special energy meters have been commissioned at the
different substations. The processed data from these meters would be
significant commercially after implementation of the ABT.

1.2.3 This document does not cover the procedure to be followed in case power
supply has be regulated to any utility on account of non-payment of dues.
2
 The same would be implemented by NRLDC in line with the directives
issued by CERC from time to time.

1.2.4 The details indicated in this document are intended to serve only as a
guideline for efficient system operation and are not exhaustive. In
particular, these procedures do not cover the tools required for efficient
and effective system operation and analysis viz. Communication Systems,
Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition Systems (SCADA), Energy
Management Systems (EMS), and other recording and control equipment.
It is expected that these requirements would be provided by all concerned
to enable efficient system operation. Further, these procedures are to be
read in conjunction with the various clauses as given in Indian Electricity
Grid Code (IEGC) and are without prejudice to the NRLDC’ s power to
give directions and exercises supervision and control as stated under
Sections 55(3) and 55(6) of the amended Electricity Supply Act, 1948.

1.2.5 This document would come in force with immediate effect. It would also
be reviewed annually or earlier in case significant changes taking place in
the system warrant a review.

 CHAPTER-2

NETWORK SECURITY AND SYSTEM OPERATION

2.1 OVERVIEW:

This chapter describes the actions required on the part of the system
operator to keep the network secured at all times against contingencies. It
also describes the actions required to maintain system parameters close to
nominal values in day-to-day operation.

2.2 NETWORK SECURITY

2.2.1 Background

The system planner generally designs & provides a power system, which
complies with the various transmission security standards and associated
criteria mentioned in section 3.5 of the IEGC. Nevertheless, certain
assumptions are made while planning and designing the system, which may
not be satisfied in actual operation. These deviations could be classified as:

i) Those amenable to some optimisation during operational planning

&
ii) Those outside the operator’s control.

The first category includes planned maintenance programs on the generators

& transmission lines. Attempts must be made to ensure that these planned
maintenance programs are properly coordinated & do not result in weakened
network configuration not envisaged during system planning.

The second category of events, are those outside the operator’s control such
as extreme weather conditions either affecting the reliability of transmission
system (e.g. thunderstorm, cyclones) or resulting in uneven demand growth
(e.g. widespread drought in certain pockets of the system). There could also
be departures from planned generation pattern due to various conditions.
These would fall under the category of crisis management and tackled as
such.

2.2.2 Measures To Maintain Network Security & Reliability

In order to maintain the security of the regional power system in day-to-day

operation, it is important that the planned outage of generation &
transmission system is properly coordinated. Important elements of the
regional grid, which have a bearing on the network security, are enclosed at
Annex 1. It is necessary that power system studies to assess the stability of
the network are carried out while finalizing the annual outage plan of these
important elements. The same should also be carried out during the quarterly
& monthly review by NREB Secreteriat / NRLDC.
4
Additionally, any opening of the important elements, have to be carried out
only after prior clearance of NRLDC. Emergency openings if any, have to be
carried out & immediately informed to NRLDC within a reasonable time, say
ten minutes. Likewise, tripping of any of these important elements should
also be informed to NRLDC within a reasonable time indicating the likely time
of restoration. In addition to the above, it is necessary that special attention
be paid to maintaining the reliability of the system. The following areas need
careful implementation by the concerned constituents / stations:

(i) In case of a two-bus system at any substation it must be ensured

that the segregation of feeders on the different buses is uniform.
This would help in minimizing the number of elements lost in case
of a bus fault. This is assuming the availability of bus-bar protection
at such substation(s).

(ii) In 400 kV substations having a breaker and a half 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 period say beyond eight hours at such substation,
the main & tie breakers of such elements should be closed after
opening the line side isolator. This should be done after taking all
suitable precautions to avert inadvertent tripping. This of course
assumes that no maintenance is planned on such breakers /
isolators.

(iii) The substation operators must ensure the above condition even
when any lightly loaded line is opened to control overvoltage. 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.

(iv) Single pole auto-reclose facility on 400 kV lines should always be

in service. NRLDC’s approval would be required for taking this
facility out of service. Likewise, in case any transfer breaker at any
400 kV substations having two main and transfer bus scheme is
engaged, the same would be informed to NRLDC.

(v). In order to damp out the low frequency oscillations in the system,
the power system stabilizers on the generating units would be
tuned as per the programme drawn out by the Central
Transmission Utility (CTU), in consultation with the constituents.

(vi). All constituents would endeavour to operate the connected

generation and reactive power management devices such as
Synchronous Condensers, Static Var Compensators (SVCs) etc in
a manner which enables stable voltage behaviour at various points
of the grid under different operating conditions.

(vii). In line with section 6.2(e) to 6.2(g) of the IEGC, the generating
units should be on free governor operation.
5
2.2.3 Defence Mechanisms For The System

Despite the utmost caution exercised during operational planning and

implementing all the above steps to improve network reliability, the possibility
of a large-scale disturbance in the region cannot be totally eliminated. This
situation calls for suitable defence mechanisms to be available in the system,
which would take care of such large disturbances. At least the following
schemes should be operational in the Northern Region.

i) Underfrequency relay load shedding scheme

NREB Secreteriat would formulate a suitable under frequency relay load

shedding scheme for the Northern Region in consultation with all the
constituents and NRLDC. Such a scheme would be formulated considering
the largest single credible contingency occurring in the system and based on
both flat frequency as well as rate of change of frequency. The details of the
scheme would be documented and circulated to all constituents and NRLDC
for implementation. The scheme would be reviewed and updated once every
six months. Further, from the viewpoint of system security, it is extremely
important that there should be no overlapping between areas covered by
underfrequency relay load shedding and that included in the manual load
shedding plan as part of demand control. This would ensure that the
automatic relief through these relays would be available to the system under
all conditions. Effectiveness of the scheme would be monitored periodically
by NRLDC in line with clause 6.2(m) of the IEGC. The same would also be
monitored in the monthly meetings of the Operation Co-ordination Committee
(OCC) of NREB.

ii) Islanding scheme

In order to isolate the healthy subsystems following a large-scale

disturbance, NREB Secreteriat would formulate an islanding scheme for the
region in consultation with all constituents and NRLDC. The scheme would
be based on underfrequency. The details of the scheme would be
documented and circulated to all constituents and NRLDC for
implementation. The scheme would be reviewed at least once every six
months.

2.2.4 Recording Instruments And Communication Facilities

i) The recording instruments such as Data Acquisition System, Disturbance

Recorder, Event Logger, Fault Locator, Time Synchronisation Equipment,
and any other such equipment in each generating station / substation /
control centre / SLDCs shall be kept in good working condition in order to
record the events and their sequences. All such places shall have a common
time reference so that any event can be coordinated with respect to different
locations having common time base.

ii) Each regional constituent shall provide adequate and reliable communication
facility with NRLDC as well as internally and with other constituents in order

6
 to ensure exchange of data / information necessary to maintain reliability and
security of the grid.

2.3 SYSTEM OPERATION

One of the main assumptions of the power system planner is that the system
parameters viz. frequency, voltage remain close to nominal values. This
section lists the measures to be adopted by the system operators at SLDCs /
ISGS / substations for frequency and voltage control.

2.3.1 Frequency Control

2.3.1.1 Frequency band

All the regional constituents would make all possible efforts to ensure the
maintenance of grid frequency within the normal band i.e. 49.0 to 50.5
Hz.This would be ensured by adhering to the following steps:

i) Each SLDC shall regulate the load / own generation under its control
so that it may not draw more than its net drawal schedule during low
frequency conditions and less than its drawal schedule during high
frequency conditions.

ii) Each of the Inter State Generating Station (ISGS) shall maintain
generation such that it may not generate less than its generation
schedule during low frequency conditions and more than its
generation schedule during high frequency conditions

iii) In case any state constituent is likely to face power shortage situation
despite requisitioning its full entitlement from ISGS, then it shall
endeavour to enter into a bilateral agreement with the other state
constituents having a power surplus and vice-versa. In any case,
during low frequency conditions no state would carry out
overdrawals.

iv) Sudden reduction in generator output by more than one hundred

(100) MW unless under an emergency condition or to prevent an
imminent damage to the equipment shall be avoided, particularly
when frequency is falling below 49.0 Hz.

v) Sudden increase in load by more than 100 MW by any SLDC,

particularly when frequency is falling below 49.0 Hz. and reduction in
load by such quantum when frequency is rising above 50.5 Hz. shall
be avoided.

2.3.1.2 Preventive measures during high frequency conditions

While the grid frequency is higher than 50.5 Hz, the MW generation at no
generating station (irrespective of type and ownership) shall be increased.
Provided that when the frequency has risen from a previous lower level to
50.5 Hz. or higher, and due to normal governor action, the MW output of a
7
 generating unit has fallen to a level requiring oil support or which results in
unstable operation of the unit, then the MW output may be increased to the
lowest level,
- at which oil support is not required, and
- at which the unit can operate in a stable and safe manner.

Similarly, no generating unit shall be synchronised with the grid while the
grid frequency is above 50.5 Hz. or higher, except with the specific
concurrence of NRLDC and in case of nuclear units, which may have to be
re-synchronised to prevent poisoning out of the reactor. NRLDC would
separately issue frequency linked despatch guidelines to be followed by
each power station.

2.3.1.3 Regulatory measures by NRLDC under low frequency conditions

NRLDC would observe the drawal pattern of the SLDC’s control area &
attention would also be drawn to wilful overdrawals resulting in low
frequency operation. All SLDCs are expected to suo moto curb such
overdrawals and abide by NRLDC’s instructions in this matter. In case of
any violation, NRLDC would take such action as it may deem fit including
physical regulation.

2.3.1.4 Free governor mode of operation

Constituents would ensure that the generating units synchronised with the
grid are operated on free governor mode of operation and with necessary
primary and secondary control in line with sections 6.2 (e), 6.2 (f), 6.2 (g),
and 6.2 (h) of IEGC.

2.3.1.5 Interregional exchanges

NRLDC shall endeavour to exchange power with the neighbouring regions

on opportunity basis in addition to the interregional bilateral agreements
already in vogue. The prime consideration for such exchange would be,
improvement in the grid parameters as well as system reliability and
economy.

2.3.2 Voltage Control

2.3.2.1 Operating range

As defined in the IEGC section 6.2 (g), the operating range of the voltage at
various voltage levels of grid is as follows:

Voltage in KV (rms)

Nominal Maximum Minimum

400 420 360
220 245 200
132 145 120

8
 The maximum and minimum values in the above table are the outer limits
and all the constituents would endeavour to maintain the voltage level well
within the above limits.

2.3.2.2 AVRs Controls

All generating units shall keep their Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVRs) in
operation and Power System Stabilisers (PSS) in AVRs shall be tuned in line
with clause 6.2 (j) of IEGC

2.3.2.3 VAR Exchange by Constituents

The constituent states shall take action in regard to VAR exchange with the
grid looking at the topology and voltage profile of the exchange point. In
general the beneficiaries shall endeavour to minimise the VAR drawal at
interchange point when the voltage at that point is below nominal value and
shall not return VARs when the voltage is above the nominal value. In fact
the beneficiaries are expected to provide local VAR compensation so that
they do not draw any VARs from the grid during low voltage conditions and
do not inject any VARs to the grid during high voltage conditions.

2.3.2.4 VAR Generation / Absorption by Generating Units

In order to improve the overall voltage profile, the generators shall run in a
manner so as to have counter balancing action corresponding to low / high
supergrid voltage and to bring it towards the nominal value. In order to
achieve the same, all generators shall generate reactive power during low
voltage conditions and absorb reactive power during high voltage
conditions as per the capability limits of the respective generating units. The
On-Load Tap Changers (OLTCs) on the generator transformers wherever
available, should also be used to achieve this. Off load tap changers would
also be used to take care of seasonal variations in the voltage profile.

2.3.2.5 Transformer taps

The transformer tap positions on different transformers forming important

elements of Regional Grid shall be changed as per requirements in order to
improve the grid voltage. NRLDC shall coordinate and advise the settings of
different tap positions and any change in their positions shall be carried out
only after consultation with NRLDC.

2.3.2.6 Control at Grid Substations / Generating Stations

The following specific action at Grid Substations / Generating Stations shall

be taken in the event of voltage going high / low.

i) In the event of high voltage (e.g., 400kV bus voltages going above
410kV), the following specific steps would be taken by the
respective grid substations / generating station at their own, unless
specifically mentioned by NRLDC otherwise;

9
 ! The bus reactors be switched in
! The manually switchable capacitor banks be taken out
! The switchable line/ tertiary reactors be taken in
! Operate synchronous condensers for VAR absorption
! Operate hydro generators / gas turbines as synchronous
condenser for VAR absorption wherever possible
! Opening of the lightly loaded lines in consultation with
NRLDC, keeping in view the security of the balance
network.

ii) In the event of low voltage, (e.g., 400kV bus voltages going down
below 390kV), the following specific steps would be taken by the
respective grid substations / generating station at their own, unless
specifically mentioned by NRLDC otherwise;

! The bus reactors be switched out

! The capacitor banks be switched in
! The switchable line / tertiary reactors be taken out
! Operate synchronous condensers for VAR generation
! Operate hydro generators / gas turbines as synchronous
condenser for VAR generation, wherever possible
! Closing of lines which were opened to control high voltage,
in consultation with NRLDC

2.3.2.7 Load management for controlling the voltage

All the state constituents shall identify the radial feeders in their areas which
have significant reactive drawals and which can be disconnected in order to
improve the voltage conditions in the event of voltage dropping to low levels.
The details of all such feeders shall be kept handy in the respective control
rooms and standing instruction would remain with the operating personnel to
obtain the requisite relief in the hour of crisis by disconnecting such feeders.

2.3.2.8 Regulatory measures by NRLDC to prevent voltage collapse

In case the state constituents do not take the requisite measures and the
voltage drops down to critically low levels (say 360kV and below at 400kV
bus), then NRLDC may resort to regulatory measures by opening of lines
including those, feeding radial loads in the areas of defaulting constituents.
While taking such action, NRLDC would duly consider that the same does
not result in affecting ISGS generation.

2.3.2.9 Switching-off of the line reactors in case of low voltage

In the event of persistent low voltage conditions, selected line reactors

would be switched off as a voltage control measure. The switching off of
such line reactors and reviving them back would be carried out as per the
instructions issued by NRLDC, after taking the line under shutdown.

2.3.2.10 Switching-off of the lines in case of high voltage

In the event of persistent high voltage conditions when all other reactive
control measures as mentioned earlier have been exhausted, selected lines
10
 shall be opened for voltage control measures. The opening of lines and
reviving them back in such an event would be carried out as per the
instructions issued by NRLDC in real time and as per the standing
instructions issued from time to time. While taking such action, NRLDC
would duly consider that the same does not result in affecting ISGS
generation.

2.3.3 Line loading

In addition to frequency & voltage control measures outlined above, each

system operator would also have before him the thermal loading limits,
surge impedance loading and the loading permitted from stability
considerations for each line listed under important elements. Each system
operator at SLDC / substations would endeavour to keep the line/ ICT
loadings within limits and inform NRLDC in case of overloading of any
element. Special emphasis would be paid by each system operator in
identifying credible system contingencies & continuously evaluating the
system under his control against these contingencies.

It is expected that with the implementation of Availability Based Tariff in

Northern Region, the NRLDC’s focus would gradually shift from the actions
listed under the heading ‘System Operation’ above to Network Reliability
and Security. All the constituents would extend the necessary cooperation to
NRLDC in this endeavour.

2.3.4 Operating manpower

The control rooms of all SLDCs, power plants, grid substations as well as
any other control centres of regional constituents shall be manned round
the clock by qualified and adequately trained manpower who would remain
vigilant and cooperative at all the times so as to maintain the system safety
and security and operate it in a most optimum manner.

 CHAPTER – 3

DEMAND ESTIMATION AND CONTROL

3.1 OVERVIEW

Demand estimation plays a very important role in system operation. Long-

term demand estimation (five years and beyond) is an important input for
generation planning. In the medium term, say one year, it constitutes an
important input for outage planning of generating units and transmission
lines. In the short term, say within one week, it is an important input for
generation scheduling. Variation in demand in real time operation from the
estimated values could either be absorbed by the grid or affect it
adversely. Even if the estimates are accurate, the generation could vary
from scheduled values adversely affecting the grid. Demand control then
plays an important role in arresting these adverse effects on the grid.

Demand estimation and control is essentially the responsibility of SLDCs

and NRLDC would generally not have a major role in this area. NRLDC
would give instructions to SLDCs on demand control whenever the same
has a bearing on the security of the regional grid & such instructions
would have to be complied forthwith by all SLDCs.

3.2 DEMAND ESTIMATION

3.2.1 The SLDCs would forecast demand (MW peak & energy in MWh) on an
annual, quarterly, monthly, weekly and ultimately on daily basis, which
would be used in the day-ahead scheduling. Each SLDC is expected to
maintain a historical database for the purpose and be equipped with the
state-of-the-art tools such as Energy Management System (EMS) for
demand forecasting. Ideally, the forecasts should be on hourly basis
(8760, 720 & 168 values respectively in the annual, monthly and weekly
forecasts) rather than mentioning only the peak MW and energy
requirements for the period.

3.2.2 The annual, quarterly and monthly demand forecasts would be used in
the outage plan prepared by REB Secreteriat in consultation with all the
constituents.

3.2.3 Attention would also be paid by SLDCs in demand forecasting for special
days such as important festivals and National Holidays having different
crests and troughs in the daily load-curve as compared to normal days.

3.2.4 The above demand estimation covers only active power. It is also
important that, the reactive power requirements are also forecasted right
from substation level by each SLDC. The reactive power planning
exercise and programme for installation of reactive compensation
equipments should take care of these requirements also.
12
3.3 DEMAND CONTROL

3.3.1 As stated earlier, primarily the need for demand control would arise on
account of the following conditions.

(i) Variations in demand from the estimated or forecasted

values, which cannot be absorbed by the grid.

(ii) Unforeseen generation / transmission outages resulting in

reduced power availability.

(iii) Heavy reactive power demand causing low voltages.

(iv) Commercial reasons.

3.3.2 As already mentioned in section 7.4.5 of the IEGC, the SLDCs / STUs
would regularly carryout the necessary exercises regarding short-term
and long-term demand estimation for their respective states to enable
them to plan in advance as to how they would meet their consumers load
without overdrawing from the grid. Further, a tight control on the drawals
from the grid is not mandated and the deviations from the schedule would
be priced appropriately. However, the following deviations from the
schedule & other violations would have to be controlled by the SLDCs.

(i) Overdrawals at frequencies below 49.0 Hz.

(ii) Underdrawals at frequencies above 50.5 Hz.

(iii) Reactive power drawals/injection causing low/high voltage

respectively.

3.3.3 Demand control would have to be exercised under these conditions by the
SLDCs, which could be done by either of the following methods or a
combination thereof.

(i) Manual demand disconnection.

(ii) Shutting off or reconnecting bulk power consumers having a

special tariff structure linked to number of interruptions in the
day.

(iii) PC based system for rotational load shedding with facilities

for central programming and uploading of the disconnection
schedule for the day from the SLDC / Sub-LDC to the
substations.

3.3.4 During the demand control by manual disconnection of loads by

staggering in different groups, the roster changeover from one group to
another shall be carried out in a gradual and scientific manner so as to
avoid excursions in the system parameters.

13
3.3.5 Each SLDC would also identify feeders drawing heavy quantum of
reactive power and disconnect the same under low voltage conditions. As
already mentioned in Sec.2.3.2.3 of Chapter-2, necessary metering
arrangements for identifying such feeders would be provided by the
SLDCs.

3.4 LOAD CRASH

3.4.1 In the event of load crash in the system due to weather disturbance or
other reasons, the situation would be controlled by the SLDCs/ ISGS by
the following methods:

i) Backing down or closing down of generating units

ii) Lifting of the load restrictions, if any
iii) Exporting the power to neighbouring regions

While implementing the above it may be ensured that the provisions in

section 2.3.1.1(iv) & (v) should not be violated. Further in case of hydro
generation linked with irrigation requirements, the actual backing down or
closing down of units shall be subject to limitations on such account.

 CHAPTER-4

OUTAGE PLANNING

4.1 OVERVIEW

The earlier chapters have dwelt on the network security, reliability and
demand estimation. The next logical step is outage planning of generating
units, transmission lines and ICTs subject to the above constraints. This
would have to be done in line with section 6.7 of the IEGC. As already
mentioned earlier, the list of important elements of the Northern Regional
Grid is enclosed at Annex-I. Outage planning would be done centrally only
in respect of these lines, ICTs and generating units, allowing sufficient
discretion to the SEBs / STUs in respect of other lines and units, unless
otherwise decided by NREB Secreteriat. Outages in the system have an
effect on the network security and have to be planned carefully. Power
system studies would have to be done by the NREB and NRLDC for the
outage planning (up to monthly review) and for day-to-day operations
respectively, to assess the effect of outages on the grid security. Further,
outage plan finalised would also have commercial implications for each
SEB / STU / ISGS after the implementation of ABT in the region, the
same would have to be done meticulously.

4.2 OUTAGE PLANNING PROCESS

4.2.1 Annual Outage Planning

The following calendar shall be followed in respect of annual outage

planning for the ensuing financial year:

(i) Constituents will forward to NREB Secretariat the required data for
planning for the next financial year, by 30th November.

(ii) NREB Secretariat will issue the draft outage programme to all the
regional constituents and NRLDC by 31st December.

(iii) The mutually agreed final outage plan shall be intimated by NREB
Secretariat to all regional constituents and NRLDC for
implementation latest by 31st January.

4.2.2 Quarterly And Monthly Reviews

The annual outage plans formulated as above shall be reviewed on

quarterly and monthly basis as per following programme:

(I). In the months just preceding to each quarter i.e. during the second
fortnight of March, June, September and December the outage
plans for the balance part of the financial year shall be reviewed in
15
 joint meetings to be attended by all regional constituents and
NRLDC and co-ordinated by NREB secretariat. The revisions in the
outage plans if any on the basis of above quarterly meetings shall
be issued by NREB Secretariat to all concerned before the end of
the respective months i.e. by 31st March, 30th June, 30th
September and 31st December respectively.

(ii). Monthly review of the outage plan for the current month and the
consecutive month would be done in the Operation Co-ordination
Committee (OCC) of NREB meeting, generally held in the first
week of every month. NREB Secretariat would issue the outage
plan so frozen in this meeting, to all constituents and NRLDC within
next two working days.

4.2.3 Unforeseen outages and re-scheduling of outages after freezing of

monthly schedules

In the event of any requirement to re-schedule any planned shutdown or

to avail an emergency / unforeseen shutdown not anticipated earlier, the
concerned constituent shall forward such request to NRLDC indicating the
nature of emergency or the reason for deferment. NRLDC would approve
such unforeseen outages / re-scheduling of an already planned outage
based on the exigency of the case vis-à-vis system conditions. In case,
any spill over to the next month occurs on account of the deferment, the
same would have to be brought to the notice of the Operation Co-
ordination Committee by the concerned constituent.

4.3 AVAILING OF SHUTDOWNS

4.3.1 NRLDC would review on daily basis the outage schedule for the next two
days and in case of any contingency or conditions described in Sec.6.7.4
(g) of the IEGC, defer any planned outage as deemed fit clearly stating
the reasons thereof. The revised dates in such cases would be finalised in
consultation with the constituent.

4.3.2 For a transmission element the outage of which shall affect more than one
constituent, the information about the approval or deferment shall be
communicated by NRLDC to all such constituents so that they may
remain informed about the said outage

4.3.3 In respect of important elements of the grid, a final code would have to be
obtained from NRLDC before taking the said element for maintenance. All
preparatory works for maintenance must be done well in advance before
availing the code so as to avoid any idling time. Similarly, a code would
have to be obtained from NRLDC before reviving the element after shut
down.

4.3.4 The code issued by NRLDC for opening / revival of the circuit signifies
such approval only from the system point of view notwithstanding
anything contained in respect of safety measures and other switching
operations to be carried out locally. The related line / substation personnel
would be responsible for ensuring all safety precautions to be followed
16
 while opening / closing of any element to avoid any threat to operating
personnel and equipment.

4.3.5 During the period of shutdown, the constituent(s) shall keep NRLDC
apprised regarding the status of work and the likely time of return of the
shut down. All efforts shall be made by the constituents for timely return
of shutdowns and delays if any shall immediately be reported to NRLDC
along with the reasons and likely time of return of shut down.

4.3.6 Where it is foreseen that return of Permit To Work (PTW) could be

delayed due to physical distance involved in case of a transmission line,
mobile satellite phones would be used for communication with the
substation to minimise the outage period.

4.3.7 Any maintenance work on oppurtunity basis proposed to be carried out by

related agencies during a 400 kV line / ICT shutdown would need the
approval of NRLDC. The same if approved, would also be intimated by
NRLDC to the agency, which initially applied for the planned shutdown.

 CHAPTER-5

BILATERAL AGREEMENTS

5.1 OVERVIEW

With the implementation of Availability Based Tariff (ABT), bilateral

exchanges are expected to provide a suitable hedge for constituents to
minimise the Unscheduled Interchanges (UI). The number and quantum
of such exchanges are therefore likely to go up tremendously and
therefore it is necessary that a proper mechanism is in place to implement
and encourage such transactions. The details regarding such
agreements and their implementation philosophy are explained below.

5.2 BILATERAL AGREEMENT DETAILS

5.2.1 NRLDC would require information in respect of bilateral exchanges for the
following:

(i) Working out the net drawal schedule of each constituent.

(ii) Checking for transmission constraints, if any arising out of such
exchanges.

In view of the above, it is necessary that a copy of the bilateral agreement

between any two constituents be lodged with NRLDC. Further in view of
(ii) above, it would be desirable for the constituents to seek the opinion of
NRLDC before signing any bilateral agreements whenever any
transmission constraint is foreseen. NRLDC’s concurrence in such cases
would be without prejudice to the conditions prevailing in real time,
necessitating a suspension of such exchanges at any time.

5.2.2 The bilateral agreement must include the following minimum information.

(i) The date & time of commencement of the agreement and duration
for which it shall remain in force.

(ii) MW exchange (ceiling value) for each 15 minutes time block and
MWH for the entire day (ceiling value).

(iii) The delivery / take-off point for the purpose of accounting for
transmission losses.

(iv) Details of capacity charges and energy charge payments along

with the arrangements for payment.

(v) Wheeling charges if any, payable to any agency and the

arrangements thereof.

18
 (vi) Details of information that shall be exchanged with NRLDC in
respect of day-ahead scheduling and revisions thereof.

(vii) The force-majeure conditions under which the agreement can be

suspended / discontinued and the period of such notice.

5.2.3 Further it is recommended that in case of bilateral transactions involving

wheeling of power through a third agency, the issue of wheeling charges
must be resolved satisfactorily and quickly before the bilateral agreement
is signed.

5.3 BILATERAL AGREEMENT IMPLEMENTATION

5.3.1 Each of the constituents involved in the bilateral agreement would

intimate NRLDC on daily basis the quantum of the power to be
exchanged on 15-minute time block basis for the next day. This would
enable NRLDC to include the quantum of such transfer in day-ahead
schedules (in case of the agreement with a state in another region, this
information can be passed through concerned RLDC). Similar treatment
would be accorded for revision in schedule during the course of the day

5.3.2 In case the figures given by the two constituents for any day is at variance
with each other, NRLDC would accord the following treatment for working
out the net drawal schedules.

(i) If neither of the constituents gives any information in the day-ahead

schedule, then it would be treated as ‘nil’.

(ii) If only one constituent gives the information in the day-ahead

schedule, then the quantum would be according to such
information limited to the ceiling values indicated in the bilateral
agreement.

(iii) If both the constituents indicate a different quantum then the lower
of the two values would be taken.

5.3.3 No post-facto revisions of schedule would be carried out on account of

bilateral transactions.

 CHAPTER-6

SCHEDULING AND DESPATCH

6.1 OVERVIEW

In the classical context, scheduling implies drawing up a generation

programme to cater to a certain forecasted power demand at a minimum
cost subject to certain network constraints. This assumed that adequate
generation is available to cater to the demand at all times and all one
needed to decide was which units would have to be scheduled for how
much time period. In our context, however, considering the large number
of utilities and the fact that power shortages are common, scheduling
acquires a different connotation. In addition to scheduling generation from
Inter State Generating Stations (ISGS), drawal schedules of SLDCs are
also required to be drawn up.

With the de centralised market mechanism being adopted for the country,
the power system under each SLDC constitutes a notional control area.
The states would have full operational autonomy and their SLDCs shall
have the total responsibility for scheduling and despatch of their own
generation (including generation of their captive licensees), regulating the
demand of their customers, scheduling of their drawals from ISGS,
arranging any bilateral exchanges and regulating their net drawal from the
regional grid. Section 7.4 of the IEGC indicates in detail the demarcation
of responsibilities for the purpose of scheduling and despatch. This
chapter illustrates the procedure for scheduling with the treatment to be
accorded for special situations.

6.2 GENERAL

6.2.1 For the purpose of scheduling each day would be divided into 96 blocks of
15 minutes duration each and for each block NRLDC would intimate each
SLDC the drawal schedule and to each ISGS the generation schedule in
advance and as outlined in Section 6.3 below.

6.2.2 The net drawal schedule of any state would be the sum of the ex-power
plant schedules from different ISGS and any bilateral exchange agreed
with other constituent state in Northern or any other region less estimated
transmission losses. The states would be required to maintain their actual
drawal from the grid close to such ‘net drawal schedule’ by regulating their
own generation and / or consumer’s load.

6.2.3 The generation schedule to each ISGS shall be the sum of the
requisitions made by each of the beneficiaries, restricted to their
entitlements and subject to the maximum and minimum value criteria or
any other technical constraint as indicated by NRLDC.

20
6.2.4 The states shall endeavor to maintain their drawals in such a manner that
they do not overdraw from the grid whenever the frequency is below the
normal value and do not underdraw whenever the frequency is above the
normal value. Similarly, each ISGS shall also endeavor to maintain their
generation in such a manner that they do not generate above schedule
during the period when frequency is above the normal value and do not
generate below schedule, whenever the frequency falls below normal
value.

6.2.5 The format of the generation schedule for all the ISGS and drawal
schedules for all the states shall be as per Annexe-II.

6.2.6 The generation scheduling for the stations under Bhakra Beas
Management Board (BBMB) would be co-ordinated & finalised well before
1500 hrs by BBMB in accordance with the requirements of the beneficiary
states viz. Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh and
subject to the irrigation and hydrology constraints. The schedules so
finalised for each BBMB station would be communicated to NRLDC by
1500 hrs every day.

6.2.7 NREB Secretariat would ensure that any change in the allocations from
each ISGS is finalised and informed to all concerned at least a month in
advance so that trading of such capacity is facilitated. This is in line with
the spirit of clause 5.1.3 of the ABT order of the CERC.

6.3 SCHEDULING AND DESPATCH PROCEDURE:

6.3.1 By 1000 hrs everyday each ISGS shall advise NRLDC the station-wise
ex-power plant MW and MWh capabilities foreseen for the next day i.e.
between 0000 to 2400 hrs of the following day, at 15 minutes interval.

6.3.2 The above information shall be compiled by NRLDC and the MW and
MWh entitlements available to each state during the following day at 15
minutes interval shall be intimated by NRLDC to states by 1100 hrs.

6.3.3 After receipt of the information in regard to the availability from different
ISGS, all the states shall review such availability vis-à-vis their foreseen
demand and their own generating capability, including the bilateral
exchanges if any. By 1500 hrs the SLDCs would advise NRLDC their
requisition in each of the ISGS alongwith the bilateral exchanges they
intend to have with the other state / states and the estimates of demand /
availability in their own states. BBMB would also advise NRLDC of the
generation schedule finalised for its stations in consultation with its
partner states by 1500 hours. While indicating their station-wise
requisitions SLDCs must ensure that the step increase is not more than
1% of the previous requisition. SLDCs, while finalising their requisition
from ISGS, shall also consider estimated losses that would be deducted
from their ex-power plant schedules in ISGS & BBMB stations.

6.3.4 By 1700 hrs NRLDC shall convey to each ISGS the generation schedule
i.e., ex-power plant despatch schedule and to each state the net drawal

21
 schedule i.e. the schedule at the periphery of the state (after deducting
the apportioned estimated transmission losses).

6.3.5 The SLDC/ ISGS may inform the modifications/ changes to be made if
any in the above schedule to NRLDC by 2200 hrs.

6.3.6 On receipt of such information and after consulting with the concerned
constituents if required, the NRLDC shall issue the final generation /
drawal schedule to each ISGS/SLDC by 2300 hrs.

6.3.7 The following specific points would be taken into consideration while
preparing the schedules:

(i) While finalising the drawal and despatch schedule as above,

NRLDC shall also check that the resulting power flows do not give
rise to any transmission constraints. In case, any constraints are
foreseen, then NRLDC shall moderate the schedule to the
required extent, under intimation to the concerned constituents.

(ii) After receipt of the requisitions from different states, while finalising
the generation schedule for ISGS, if it is found by NRLDC that such
schedules are not operationally reasonable particularly in terms of
ramping up / ramping down rates and ratio between minimum and
maximum generation levels, then NRLDC shall moderate the
schedule to the required extent under intimation to the concerned
constituents. The ramping up/ ramping down rates in respect of
different categories of stations would be based on the technical
data as substantiated by the generating stations and as mutually
agreed by the constituents. As regards the technical minimum, it
would have to be decided mutually between the beneficiaries and
the ISGS with subsequent information to NRLDC.

(iii) The procedure to be followed for bilateral agreements has already

been indicated in Chapter-5.

6.4 REVISION OF SCHEDULES:

6.4.1 In case of forced outage of a unit, NRLDC will revise the schedules on the
basis of revised declared capability. 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.

6.4.2 In the event of a situation arising due to bottleneck in evacuation of power

due to transmission constraint, NRLDC shall revise the schedule which
shall become effective from the 4th time block, counting the time block in
which the transmission constraint has been brought to the notice of
NRLDC as the first one. During the first three time blocks also the
schedule shall deemed to have been revised to be equal to the actual
generation by the ISGS and drawal by the states.

6.4.3 In case of any grid disturbance, the scheduled generation of all the
generating stations and scheduled drawal of all the beneficiaries shall be
22
 deemed to have been revised to be equal to their actual
generation/drawal for all the time blocks affected by the grid disturbance.
The exact duration of such grid disturbance would be declared by NRLDC
on the basis of mutually agreed guidelines.

6.4.4 Revision of declared capability by generator(s) and requisition by

beneficiary(ies) for the remaining period of the day will also be permitted
with advance notice. Revised schedules / declared capability in such
cases shall become effective from the 6th time block, counting the time
block in which the request for revision has been received in RLDC to be
the first one.

6.4.5 Similarly, in case any constituent seeks a revision in the bilateral

schedules, the same would have to be confirmed by the other partner
within a period of one hour. The revised schedules would come in to
effect as per the procedure described in Chapter-5 and made effective
with effect from 6th time block from this instant.

6.4.6 If, at any point of time, RLDC observes that there is need for revision of
the 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.

6.4.7 On completion of the operating day i.e. after 2400 hrs, the final schedule
as implemented shall be issued by NRLDC after incorporating all before
the fact changes during the day of operation.

6.4.8 Various steps involved in the scheduling and the final schedule issued by
RLDC shall be open to all the constituents for any checking/verification for
a period of 20 days. In case any mistake/omission is detected, NRLDC
shall forthwith make a complete check and rectify the same.

6.5 SPECIAL SITUATIONS RELATED TO SCHEDULING

There would be certain situations needing special treatment while

scheduling. These situations are indicated below along with the
suggested procedure to be followed by NRLDC in such cases.

6.5.1 Standing instructions by SLDC to NRLDC for deciding the best

drawal schedule

The above situation is permitted as per section 7.5.5 of the IEGC.

However in the spirit of de-centralised scheduling market mechanism, it is
expected that such SLDC should convey to NRLDC at least the following
information on 15-minute time block basis:

• Total MW required from the grid at its periphery

• MW schedule for bilateral exchanges

Based on the above information, NRLDC would work out the requisitions
from each ISGS considering the merit order of energy charges in respect
23
 of ISGS stations after translating the above MW values to ex-power plant
(considering an estimated level of transmission losses). This is without
prejudice to the procedure given for treatment of bilateral exchanges in
Chapter 5.

6.5.2 Scheduling of the ISGS hydro stations

(i) In respect of hydro power stations where the MWh generation for
the day is fixed depending on the water inflows, MWh entitlement
of each beneficiary is fixed for the day. In case the beneficiaries
are allowed full freedom to requisition on 15-minute time block
basis restricted to their MWh entitlement for the day, it may result
in an ISGS schedule not practicable for the generator to follow
(part load or high cavitations zone operation on sustained basis). It
is therefore proposed that each SLDC submits its proposed total
requirement from the grid, for the next day to NRLDC by 1000
hours (format E at Annex-II). An interim schedule would be worked
out by adding this forecasted requirement for each state with a
weightage corresponding to percentage entitlement of the state in
that ISGS. This interim schedule would be rounded off to the
nearest feasible MW for the ISGS station to get the final schedule
of the ISGS. With this procedure, the generation schedule would
adequately reflect the weightage accorded to:

• MW demand of each beneficiary in the ISGS

• Percentage entitlement of each beneficiary in the
ISGS
• Operational constraints for each ISGS

The entitlement for each beneficiary would be worked out based on

this ISGS schedule and percentage entitlement of the beneficiary.
The above is a general procedure suggested and in case of
extremely low water inflows, the hydro stations would be scheduled
for operation only during the peak hours.

(ii) Another related problem while scheduling ISGS hydro power

stations is planning the filling of reservoir and its depletion. This
problem is presently confined only to Chamera power station in
Northern region but could be generalised to other ISGS reservoir
based hydro stations likely to come up in the future. In case all the
three units at Chamera are available and scheduled round the
clock and the reservoir is full, then the complete reservoir would be
depleted in 5-6 days during the winter period. This may however
not be desirable as water may require to be conserved for
contingencies. Therefore the strategy for reservoir filling and
depletion in respect of ISGS hydro would be reviewed in the
monthly OCC meetings of NREB, when the outage plan is
reviewed. Based on the strategy evolved, the ISGS hydro stations
would declare their MWh capability accordingly in the daily
scheduling.

6.5.3 Allocation of un-requisitioned surpluses

24
 In line with section 5.7.3 of the CERC’s orders on ABT, each ISGS could
negotiate the terms with any beneficiary for such un-requisitioned power
on day-to-day basis. A copy of all such agreements would be made
available to NRLDC and NREB Secreteriat. These agreements would get
first priority in allocation of un-requisitioned surpluses.

6.6 EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION:

6.6.1 With the implementation of ABT, the generation schedules and drawal
schedules would have a bearing on the energy charge payments to ISGS
and Unscheduled Interchange. Therefore, the timely and accurate
exchange of information in regard to schedule is of paramount
importance. This aspect gains extra importance particularly in view of the
CERC order on ABT dated 04.01.2000 wherein under schedule 1.0, para
xvi it is stated that “Generation schedule and drawal schedules
issued/revised by RLDC shall become effective from designated time
block irrespective of communication success”. In order to avoid any
adverse effect commercially on the ISGS / SLDCs, the need for a reliable
and fast communication arrangement for exchange of information in
respect of scheduling cannot be overemphasized. The arrangement
described below shall be followed to meet such an objective.

6.6.2 As already mentioned in 6.4 above, revisions of schedule would be

required under the following conditions:

i) Forced outage of an ISGS

ii) Transmission constraint resulting in output reduction from any
ISGS
iii) Revision of declared capability by any ISGS
iv) Revision of requisition by any beneficiary either due to increase in
demand not forecasted earlier or due to tripping of any of its unit.
v) NRLDC on its own accord in the interest of better system
operation.

As the time available for schedule revision is limited (half-an-hour to one

hour only), some of the steps mentioned in Section 6.3 above could be
skipped. For example, in the cases (i), (ii) and (iii) above, there need not
be any fresh requisition from the beneficiaries and NRLDC would assume
that the MW requirement of the SEB from the grid would be the same as
given in the day-ahead schedule. The station wise requisition from each
ISGS would be re-worked by NRLDC in line with the procedure described
in 6.5.3 above. In respect of (iv) above, revised requisition would be
needed only from the beneficiary seeking such revision.

6.6.3 Considering the large volume of information needed to be exchanged in a

time bound manner, the transfer of information between NRLDC and
other constituents i.e. states and ISGS shall be carried out on PC-to-PC
communication link through INTERNET / Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN).

6.6.4 For this purpose NRLDC would have a dedicated INTERNET connection
on a leased circuit. In order to have fast access on the network, all the
25
 constituents should also endeavour to have fast/dedicated connectivity on
INTERNET.

6.6.5 The ISGS and states shall upload the information to NRLDC site in regard
to scheduling at the agreed time and download the generation schedules
and drawal schedule from NRLDC site at the designated times.

6.6.6 In case any ISGS/State is desirous of changing the schedule, it shall

contact NRLDC telephonically and also notify the requisite information
telephonically / e-mail / fax/ coded message immediately. The clock
timings of NRLDC at which the telephonic information is received, would
be reckoned as the starting block for schedule revision.

6.6.7 NRLDC shall incorporate the required changes and the information in
regard to revision of schedule shall be flashed to the constituent
telephonically or e-mail / fax / coded message and accordingly the
constituents can download the revised schedule from NRLDC site.

6.6.8 In case NRLDC wants to revise the schedule due to transmission

constraints or otherwise, then the required intimation will be flashed by
NRLDC to the constituents telephonically/fax/coded message and
accordingly the constituents can download the revised schedule from
NRLDC site.

6.6.9 Each message sent by a constituent to NRLDC or vice-versa shall be duly

numbered and the date and time of issue shall be invariably stamped
along with the subject and revision number etc.

6.6.10 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 NRLDC on the network and accordingly can be
downloaded by the constituents.

6.6.11 The conventional voice / fax arrangement would act as back-up in case of
failure of PC -to- PC communication link through INTERNET.

 CHAPTER -7

GRID DISTURBANCES AND REVIVAL

7.1 OVERVIEW:

A ‘Grid Disturbance’ denotes the situation under which a set of

generating units / transmission elements trip in an abrupt and unplanned
manner affecting the power supply in a large area and / or causing the
system parameters to deviate from the normal values in a wide range.
In the event of a grid disturbance, utmost priority is to be accorded to
early restoration / revival of the system. It is possible that during such a
situation the system may have to be operated with reduced security
standards and suspension of all commercial incentives / penalties. This
chapter describes the guidelines for classification of disturbances into
different categories, for the purpose of analysis and reporting. The
milestone to be reached so as to consider the system as normal is also
indicated. The general precautions to be observed, while restoring a
disturbed system is also covered in this chapter. The detailed sequence
to be followed for restoration would be as per the companion volume
‘Black Start Procedures for Northern Region’ brought out by NRLDC.

7.2 CLASSIFICATION OF GRID DISTURBANCES:

The suggested criteria for classifying grid disturbances, is indicated in the

Table below.

CLASSIFICATION OF GRID DISTURBANCES

Sl.No. Category Severity Description
No.
1. A Major Total blackout in the region
OR
Loss of 40% or more of the antecedent
generation in the system
OR
Separation into two or more
subsystems and loss of 30% or more
of the antecedent generation
2. B Moderate Loss of 20 - 40% of the antecedent
generation in the system
OR
Separation into two or more
subsystems having antecedent
load in each of the first two
subsystems equivalent to thirty
percent (30%) or more of the
antecedent generation.
OR
Instantaneous loss of load
27
 corresponding to more than 15% of
the antecedent generation
3. C Minor Loss of 10 – 20% of the antecedent
generation in the system
OR
Total loss of power supply at a
power station contributing 5% or
more to the antecedent generation
OR
Total loss of power supply at a
220kV or above substation catering
to load corresponding to 5% or
more of the antecedent generation
OR
Separation into two or more
subsystems having antecedent
load in each of the first two
subsystems equivalent to five
percent (5%) or more of the
antecedent generation.

The above is a general guideline for the purpose of analysis and

reporting. The generation schedules for ISGS and net drawal schedules
for states would be suspended for the first two categories viz. A and B
while for category C, it would be on case-to-case basis as decided by
NRLDC. However, if only one state system or one ISGS is affected, the
schedules would not be suspended even for category-B disturbances but
only revised.

7.3 SYSTEM REVIVAL:

7.3.1 The recovery of the system shall be carried out as mentioned in the
companion document ‘Black Start Procedures for Northern Region’
prepared by NRLDC in consultation with constituents and amended from
time to time.

7.3.2 The general guidelines and precautions to be followed during system

revival is indicated below:

i) While building up the system, it would be ensured that the voltage

at the charging end remains within limits. A small amount of
essential load should be connected at each substation before
extending the network. However, the ultimate objective viz.
building up of the network should not be lost sight of, while
connecting the loads.

ii) Security of the network being built up would be strengthened at

the earliest by closing the parallel lines available in the restoration
path.

iii) Priority would be accorded for extending supplies to railway

traction and installations where safety is of paramount importance
28
 such as nuclear power stations.

iv) All switching instructions for a particular system have to emanate

from a single agency viz. SLDC/CPCC as the case may be. For
synchronisation of two systems, NRLDC would be the co-
ordinating agency. Wherever a communication problem is
foreseen, proper standing instructions would be issued to the
substation engineers for implementation.

v) During revival of the system, only authorised personnel would be

present in control rooms of substations / power stations / SLDCs /
NRLDC so as to expedite restoration of the system.

vi) In line with Section 6.8(e) of IEGC, all communication channels

required for restoration process shall be used for operational
communication only, till grid normalcy is restored.

vii) All generating units would be on free governor operation and the
excitation controlled to maintain proper voltage profile.

viii) Synchronising facility should be available at major grid

substations so as to have maximum flexibility in choosing the
point of synchronisation.

7.4 DECLARATION OF SYSTEM NORMALISATION:

7.4.1 After a category ‘A’ or ‘B’ disturbance, the system would be deemed to
have been normalised if

i) All subsystems have been synchronised and

ii) 80% of the total loss of generation at ISGS stations, during the
incident, has been revived.

7.4.2 After a category-C disturbance, the system would be deemed to have been
normalised if,

i) All subsystems have been synchronised

ii) Power has been extended to each affected grid substation

iii) At least one unit at the affected power station has been
synchronised (subject to a maximum of three hours of receipt of
start-up power)

7.5 INTER REGIONAL SUPPORT

29
In case of disturbance or any other contingency in the Northern Region or any
other neighbouring region, NRLDC shall permit exchange of such power with
the neighbouring region on Unscheduled Interchange (UI) basis, needed to
meet the essential load, start-up-power, railway traction and other such
emergent requirements for the duration of such contingencies.

 CHAPTER-8

EVENT INFORMATION AND REPORTING

8.1 OVERVIEW

Timely and accurate reporting and exchange of information plays a very

important role in system operation. Since the Northern Regional Grid has
a large number of constituents with wide spread boundaries, the manner
in which the information flow would take place becomes very important.
This is particularly important during a grid disturbance or a crisis situation.
Timely and accurate information flow under such conditions would greatly
reduce an element of uncertainty and help people in making an informed
decision. In case system restoration is likely to get delayed, it is important
that the general public is also well informed to avoid any unrest. Such
instances could result in a major credibility crisis for the Electricity Supply
Industry (ESI) and has to be avoided at all cost. This chapter describes
the information to be exchanged between the constituents and NRLDC
and its periodicity.

8.2 EVENT INFORMATION

8.2.1 Any tripping of an element falling under the list of “Important elements of
Regional Grid”, whether manual or automatic, shall be intimated by the
control centre of the constituent to NRLDC in a reasonable time say within
ten (10) minutes of the occurrence of the event. Along with the tripping
intimation, the reason for tripping (to the extent determined) and the likely
time of restoration shall also be intimated. Such intimation can be on
telephone or fax or e-mail.

8.2.2 Any operation planned to be carried out by a constituent which may have
an impact on the regional grid, or on any of the “Important Element of
Northern Regional Grid”, shall be reported by the constituent to NRLDC in
advance.

8.2.3 Any operations planned to be carried out on the instructions of NRLDC

which may have an impact on the system of a constituent / constituents
shall be reported by NRLDC to all such constituents in advance.

8.2.4 The intimation and the exact time of revival of an element falling under the
category of “Important Elements of Northern Regional Grid” whether
revived after a tripping or after a prolonged outage shall be intimated to
NRLDC immediately.

8.3 REPORTING SYSTEM

31
 The details of the Event Reports and the Periodic Reports to be prepared
and issued by Constituents / NRLDC are as follows:

8.3.1 Event Report (Constituent to NRLDC)

In the event of tripping of any element falling under the category of

“Important Elements of Northern Regional Grid” the “EVENT REPORT”
shall be sent by the concerned constituent to NRLDC within a period of
four (4) hours of the occurrence of the event in the form detailed under
Section 6.9.6 of IEGC. Such report shall follow the telephonic / flash
reporting the constituent would do in a reasonable time, say within ten
(10) minutes of the occurrence of the event as stated under para 8.2.1
above.

8.3.2 Grid Disturbance Report (Constituent to NRLDC)

In the event of a grid disturbance the constituents whose areas / stations

get affected in the disturbance shall submit a report to NRLDC at the
earliest. Along with the report clear copies of Disturbance Recorder (DR),
Sequential Event Recorder (SER) and Data Acquisition System (DAS)
outputs, relay flag indications and restoration sequence would be sent so
as to reach NRLDC at the earliest and not later than within three (3)
working days of the incident.

8.3.3 Grid Disturbance Report (NRLDC to Constituents)

 CHAPTER -9

SETTLEMENT SYSTEM

9.1 OVERVIEW

The settlement system is an important part in implementation of

Availability Based Tariff (ABT). The system involves metering, data
collection and processing, energy accounting and raising of bills by the
different constituents. This chapter indicates the roles and responsibilities
of the different constituents in making the settlement system operative.
The activities listed under section 9.2 & below would commence
immediately after special energy meters are installed and energised at
inter-utility exchange points.

9.2 METERING AND DATA COLLECTION

9.2.1 As per Chapter 7, Clause 7.4.14 of IEGC, CTU shall be allowed to install
Special Energy Meters on all interconnections between the regional
constituents and other identified points for recording of actual net
interchanges and average frequency on 15-minute time block basis and
MVARh drawals under low/high voltage conditions.

9.2.2 In the Northern Region, all such inter-utility exchange points have already
been identified and shall be equipped with Special Energy Meters in order
to record the values stated above.

9.2.3 All the constituents shall extend the necessary assistance in timely
collection of data from these meters. For this purpose, a Data Collection
Device (DCD) would be handed over generally to each sub-station where
special energy meters are installed by POWERGRID. The agency in
whose sub-station / power station these Special Energy Meters are
installed would be responsible for transferring the data from the meters to
DCD and thereafter from the DCD to a local Personal Computer (PC) to
be provided by the agency. The data would then be transferred from the
sub-station to NRLDC on Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) /
Internet. The above activities would be carried out on weekly basis and
shall be completed between 0030 - 0400 hrs every Monday, wherever
DCD & PC location is the same and between 0030-1000 hrs. in case PC
is located at an adjacent sub-station. However till the existing
infrastructure limitations are overcome, the data could be transmitted to
NRLDC latest by 1300 hrs.

9.2.4 NRLDC would be circulating from time-to-time the responsibility schedule

for data collection along with back-up modes of data communication.

9.3 DATA PROCESSING

34
9.3.1 Based on above meter readings, the computation of the net injection of
each ISGS and actual net drawal of each beneficiary shall be carried out
in line with clause 7.4.15 of IEGC. This information along with the
schedules with all post-facto corrections would be forwarded by NRLDC
to NREB Secretariat by Thursday noon (for the previous Monday to
Sunday period) to enable the latter to prepare and issue the Regional
Energy Account.

9.3.2 As mentioned in Section 9.2.3 above, all the energy meter data would
reach NRLDC by 1000 hours every Monday. NRLDC would carry out
data validation and in case of any problem, request any sub-station to
send the data again. Each substation would therefore have the necessary
back up of data on floppies while carrying out the steps in 9.2.3 above.

9.3.3 Reactive energy transactions between SEB to SEB and from one SEB to
the ISTS points would also be worked out by NRLDC & communicated
to NREB Secretariat and all the constituents.

9.3.4 All computations carried out by NRLDC shall be open to all constituents
for checking / verification for a period of 20 days and mistakes/
omissions detected, if any, would be rectified.

9.4 ENERGY ACCOUNTING

9.4.1 NREB Secretariat would process the information provided by NRLDC to

work out the following on a monthly basis:

- Capacity charges payable by each beneficiary to each ISGS.

- Energy charges payable by each beneficiary to each ISGS.

- UI charges payable between each beneficiary and ISGS.

- Reactive energy charges payable between constituents and the

pool.

9.4.2 All computations carried out by NREB Secreteriat shall be open to all
constituents for checking / verification for a period of 20 days and
mistakes / omissions detected, if any, would be rectified.
