GRID PROTECTION
3.1 GRID DISTURBANCES AND PROTECTION RELATED ACTIVITIES :
Categorisation of Grid Incidents and Grid Disturbances :
Central Electricity Authority has issued Grid Standard, which classifies Grid
Incidents as GI-I, GI-2 & Grid Disturbances from GD-1 to GD-5 in the increasing
Order of Severity.
Categorisation of Grid Incidents :
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 and above;
Categorisation of Grid Disturbances :
Category GD-1 : When less than 10 % of the antecedent generation or load in a
regional grid is lost;
Category GD-2 : When 10 % to less than 20 % of the antecedent generation or
load in a regional grid is lost;
Category GD-3 : When 20 % to less than 30 % of the antecedent generation or
load in a regional grid is lost;
Category GD-4 : When 30 % to less than 40 % of the antecedent generation or
load in a regional grid is lost;
Category GD-5 : When 40 % or more of the antecedent generation or load in a
regional grid is lost.
The details of Grid Disturbances and Grid Incidents, which occurred in the
Southern Region have been enclosed as "Annexure XXV - GD 1" and "Annexure
XXV - GI 1&2" respectively.
3.2 FUNCTIONS OF PCSC :
The functions of the Protection Coordination Sub-Committee in brief are as follows:
a) Analysis of the Grid Disturbances, System Occurrences and other trippings
and to suggest measures to avoid their recurrence.
b) Coordination of settings of protective relays in the Regional System to
maintain the security of the Grid.
c) Periodical review of under frequency load shedding schemes, df/dt load
shedding schemes and other protection schemes adopted in the Grid.
d) Review of the implementation of recommendations made by the Inquiry
Committee of the Grid Disturbances in the region concerning to above
matters.
e) To suggest, discuss and implement Special Protection Schemes to take care of
major loss of import / generation so as to ensure security of the Grid.
The Protection Sub-Committee of SRPC analyzed the Grid Disturbances,
System Occurrences and other trippings that occurred in the Southern Regional Grid
and suggested measures to avoid their reoccurrence.
3.3 ISSUES DELIBERATED IN PCSC :
The Grid Occurrences and Minor Trippings that took place in the constituent
systems were discussed in detail in the Protection Coordination Sub-Committee
(PCSC) meetings. Necessary guidelines / remedial measures, suggested by the
Protection committee were taken up for implementation by the Constituents to avoid
its reoccurrence.
The following issues were deliberated / implemented by the constituents in the
Protection Sub-Committee of SRPC during the year 2014-15 :
a. The following meetings were held to ascertain the status of implementation of
Protection Audit recommendations of Phase I and II to the Honorable CERC:
i. A Special Meeting was held on 19th August 2014. It was informed to
all SR constituents that who had not completed their recommendations
were requested to kindly approach Honble Commission through
petition.
ii. Another Review Meeting was conducted during the 40th meeting of
PCSC.
b. The second circuit of 765kV Sholapur - Raichur line of M/s RSTCL was
commissioned on 30th
June 2014. 765kV Wardha - Aurangabad D/C line has
also been commissioned recently. With these reinforcements, the synchronized
operation of SR entered into the next phase facilitating enhanced interchanges
between NEW-SR grids. The modifications in the related Special Protection
Scheme (SPS), necessitated by this interconnection were discussed.
c. A Meeting was held under the Chairmanship of Secretary, MoP on 11th March
2014 to discuss the report of Task Force on Power System analysis under
Contingency. With reference to the outcome of this meeting, the Members
were urged to initiate action / follow up measures as given in the report. The
Requirements related to Power System Protection include the following:
i. System studies group to be formed for monitoring various
requirements for studies.
ii. Islanding schemes to be reviewed.
iii. Database of relay settings to be created.
d. A Working Group meeting of PCSC was held on 30th
July, 2015 to discuss the
implementation of Task Force on Power System Analysis under
Contingency, Review of Islanding Schemes, and df/dt.
e. On the issue of quantum of df/dt relief to be obtained in the SR, the
Constituents had been requested to implement the following df/dt setting as
recommended by the Working Group of PCSC :
Stage-1 : 49.7 Hz & 0.2 Hz/sec
Stage-2 : 49.5 Hz & 0.3 Hz/sec
However, in view of non-uniformity in the df/dt settings adoption across the
country, TANTRANSCO had requested to continue with the existing df/dt
settings till a final decision on uniform settings is taken. The issue had been
put up to National Power Committee (NPC) and the SR settings would be
reviewed after the decision is taken at NPC level.
f. Islanding Schemes for Southern Region were finalized and implemented with
feeder tripping frequency at 47.9 Hz. Presently, there are four islands in SR as
given below :
1. Hyderabad Islanding Scheme with anticipated load Generation as 2500
MW
2. Chennai Islanding Scheme with anticipated load Generation as 3000 MW
3. Neyveli Islanding Scheme with anticipated load Generation as 3600 MW
4. Koodankulam Islanding Scheme with anticipated load Generation as
2100 MW.

System Management Suite to the Constituents for handling the relay settings
and database management during 36th
PCSC meeting. In principle approval
was given by constituents for the procurement of software package, through
PSDF, during the 26th
SRPC meeting. The constituents were requested to
provide their written consent and also indicate their requirements to finalize
the modalities of its execution in this regard.
h. KSEBs suggestions / recommendations for providing settings for High Set
Earth Fault Relay on HV side of Generator Transformer (with Star connection
on HV side and Delta connection on LV side) were discussed.

l. CEAs Standing Committee (comprising experts from various organizations)
formed to investigate the failure of equipments at 220 kV and above Sub-
Stations, had revised formats for reporting failures of substation equipment
and failure of transmission line towers at 220 kV & above. The Constituents
were apprised of these new formats and requested to send the Equipment
Failure Reports to CEA as per these new formats.

3.5 ISLANDING SCHEMES IN THE SOUTHERN REGION :
a. Islanding is a defense mechanism of splitting the larger power system in
distress into smaller systems with relatively balanced load / generation in each
of the split systems when power system may occasionally land in a situation of
acute load / generation unbalance when its frequency nose dives. This may
happen in un-intended system splitting or even by sudden loss of large source.
Such events would be characterized by high rate of decline of frequency,
compounded by the tripping out of generating units on under-frequency or on
process protection when the frequency falls to such low values when auxiliary
services fail to meet the plant process requirements. The approved Islanding
Schemes in Southern Region are non-adaptive in nature; Islands are formed
with anticipated Load Generation balance and with tripping of pre-decided
feeders at 47.9Hz. They are :
(i). Hyderabad Islanding Scheme :
Anticipated Load Generation = 2500 MW

4. GMR = 80 MW
5. MAPS = 440 MW
6. North Chennai TPS Stage II = 1200 MW
(iii). Neyveli Islanding Scheme :
