5. Frequent tripping of 220kV Asupaka-Lower Sileru line
a. The issue of frequent tripping of 220kV Asupaka – Lower Sileru line was discussed in
PCSC-92 held on 29th September 2020. It was informed in the meeting that frequent
faults were occurring in the line due to vegetation along the length of the line.
b. It was also informed that the auto reclose in the line is in disabled condition.
TSTRANSCO had informed that auto reclosure at Asupaka end was disabled since AR
was not in service at Lower Sileru end. APGENCO had informed that Auto Reclosure
at Lower Sileru end would be enabled within a week’s time.

6. Review of Protection audit recommendation – Power swing block
a. TANTRANSCO, vide email dated 22.09.2020, had informed that, the following recommendation regarding power swing was made during the Protection audit of 400kV Manali and 230kV NCTPS SS conducted in 2019:
i. Zone 1 Trip, Higher Zones block for a delay of unblocking time delay (2sec) and then trip.
ii. Block all zones with out-of-step tripping enabled at electrical zero locations by carrying out required system studies.
b. TANTRANSCO had adopted block all zones with unblocking time of 2 sec. If any line fault is detected, unblock immediately and initiate tripping. TANTRANSCO stated that with this philosophy no unwarranted tripping have been encountered.
c. They also stated that with reference to audit recommendation and to trip the breaker in Zone-1 during recoverable swing condition, the probability of damage to breaker is high (as stated in the Ramakrishna Committee recommendation). The electrical zero locations of grid during power swing may vary according to the grid conditions. (major contribution is from RE source).
d. TANTRANSCO has requested to drop the above protection audit point and to continue with their existing philosophy of “block all zones with unblocking time of 2 sec. If any line fault is detected, unblock immediately and initiate tripping”.
e. The issue may be discussed in meeting.
