Title Objective Summary of Work Completed

1 Optimal Placement of Section-alizing Switches and Distribut-ed Generation Resources for Improving Service Reliability in Power Distribution System.Implementing Organization: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Roorkee

• The aim of the proposed work is the development of an optimal strategy for the placement of sectional-izing switches and distrib-uted generation sources for improvement in cus-tomer service reliability in radial power distribution systems

In the initial testing, the Inter-val Load flow with Distributed generation (DG) gave encour-aging results for modelling a DG as a PQ bus. However, when a DG was modelled as a PV bus, the interval based load-flow suffered from con-vergence problems.Out of the three sensitivi-ty based methods, Jacobian based method gives most accurate results. But, due to involvement of inversion of large matrix, its applica-tion with interval arithmetic gives too wide values of inter-val sensitivities to be of any practical use. Hence, Interval arithmetic based sensitivity approach is not useful.Program for distribution sys-tem reliability calculations (without DG) is being devel-oped and evaluated.

National Perspective Plan Projects

The Indian Power Sector is facing major challenges today with the introduction of reforms, globalization and liberalization policy of the government. Our country’s power system planners have given utmost importance to energy sector since beginning and that gave rise to manifold increase in installed generation capacity and transmission networks. With increase in system expansion, stability and security problems have become challenging. It is of vital importance to focus our attention now on ways and means to build expertise within the country, to find solutions for the problems existing in the system and also for the problems that may arise in the future.

Sponsored ProjectsSeismic Evaluation on Pressurized Piping LoopsThis project was sponsored by Baba Atomic Research Centre (BARC), with an outlay of Rs.30.00 Lakhs. The project has reached successful conclusion after almost 2 years of research efforts.Piping systems play a vital role in many applications, especially in nuclear power plants. The piping systems are subjected to both static sustained loads such as pressure and to dynamic loads such as earthquake. Typically, a piping system consists of straight pipes, elbows and tee joints. These elbows and tee joints deform inelastically under the influence of large forces, which could arise due to an earthquake. Although these plastic strains are usually low, they can accumulate in one direction during the load-history. This phenomenon is known as cyclic plasticity, progressive plastic deformation or ratcheting. Dynamic behaviour of pressurized piping components (Elbow and Tee) under rising amplitude seismic load is investigated experimentally. Fatigue or fatigue-ratcheting study of piping components subjected to seismic loads is carried out at the Earthquake Engineering and Vibration Research Centre, CPRI, Bangalore for predicting dynamic response. The ratcheting strains at different locations of the components are measured till failure. The levels of base excitation required to initiate ratcheting at different locations of the components are determined.

First-time TestsDiagnostics, Cables & Capacitors Division The Temperature rise test was carried out on A Pantograph. A Pantograph (or “pan”) is an apparatus mounted on the roof of an electric train or tram to collect power through contact with an overhead catenary wire. Typically a single wire is used, with the return current running through the track. The electric transmission system for modern electric rail systems consists of an upper weight carrying wire (known as a catenary) from which is suspended a contact wire. The pantograph is spring-loaded and pushes a contact shoe up against the underside of the contact wire to draw the electricity needed to run the train. The Pantograph is coupled without carbon strips for 1 hour to a circuit equivalent to 50% of the vehicle’s nominal current of (300 A) during operation and immediately afterwards for 5 minutes with a nominal current of (600 A) the vehicle during operation. The Pantograph is coupled for 30 minutes to a circuit equivalent to the vehicle’s nominal current of 50A while standing still and directly afterwards for 30 seconds at the maximum current of 70A for the vehicle while standing still. The test was performed with a conductor whose cross section is 90% of the cross section of a nominal contact wire.

Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Division • Inauguration of Illumination Laboratory at CPRI CPRI has developed comprehensive facilities for illumination research, measurements and

testing of equipment under the 11th Five Year Plan of Govt of India. The Inauguration of the newly established Illumination lab was held on Friday, 30th August 2013. The laboratory was inaugurated by Shri Pradeep Kumar Sinha, IAS, Secretary of Power, Govt. of India in the presence of Shri B.N. Sharma, IAS, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Power, Shri Raj Pal, IES, Economic Adviser, Ministry of Power and Shri. N. Murugesan, Director General of CPRI. The Illumination Lab is well equipped for testing of different types of luminaires. Special focus is on evaluation and qualification of LED luminaries as per LM 79 characteristics and solar PV based lighting systems testing as per the MNRE guidelines. Also the laboratory is equipped with facilities for testing of solar PV based inverters and UPS as per IEC 61683 standards and environmental testing as per IEC 60068 standards.

• Facility for Testing of Solar Inverter

To harness the solar energy and supplement conventional power generation systems, the solar PV power plants with grid tied systems are being installed in India. In these systems, inverters play a major role in pumping the power into the grid. Inverters work by taking the DC power from the source, such as an array of solar photo-voltaic modules (typically 250 to 600 V DC) and inverting it to AC power. According to working principle, there are many different types of inverters, such as central inverters for wide power range from 1 kW to up to 600 kW or even more, string inverters and module inverters. Inverters are based on microprocessor circuits, classic or RISC, and on power MOS or IGBT transistors. Inverters of different technologies operate with wide variations in power quality and efficiencies.

In order to test the compliance of grid tied inverter with international standards and also to standardize the specifications, a test facility for solar / renewable based grid connected inverters has been establishes in CPRI, in its Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Division.

Using this facility performance of the inverters can be evaluated and tested as per MNRE specifications/ IEC 61683.

• Facility for testing of Solar PV Pumps Solar photo-voltaic (SPV) power is now cost competitive with conventional grid power

for many applications. Use of SPV power for water pumping in agriculture purpose is an important application because of the issue of decentralized & distributed location of loads, requirement of long distribution lines of the centralized grid and seasonal nature of loads. Terrain, depth of water & geography of agriculture pump sets location show considerable variation with regions. To cater to the requirement of testing of solar PV agriculture pump sets under varying conditions, CPRI in its Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Division is establishing a facility for testing of SPV powered AC/DC pumps of varying capacities.

Using this facility, performance of inverters and pumps can be tested as per MNRE specification / IEC 62253.

• Facility for Testing of Induction Lamp Induction lamp is based on a principle totally different from resistance heating

(incandescent), gas discharge (CFL & TFL), solid state conversion (LED). Totally devoid of wiring or electrodes, it is based on induction principle, same as that of a transformer- the secondary coil which is created by the low pressure metal and gas vapour inside the lamp bulb. The induction lamps technology is growing rapidly especially for the increasing demand in street lighting systems in a direct competition with the solid state LED lighting. Induction lamps have a luminous efficiency (lumens delivered per watt) of 100-110

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORTTo:The Governing Council Central Power Research InstituteBangalore

Report on the Financial StatementsWe have audited the accompanying financial statements of CENTRAL POWER RESEARCH INSTITUTE ( the Institute ), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2014, the Income and Expenditure Account for the year then ended, and the Receipts and Payments statement of the institute for the year thereto and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial StatementsManagement is responsible for the preparation of these financial statements in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in India. This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Institute’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Institute’s internal control . An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Appe

ndice

s

165

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

a. As disclosed in Note 4 of Schedule 17, the estimated liability of gratuity, pension and leave encashment as per the actuarial valuation as on 31.03.2012 is Rs.391.05 Crores. The value of the funds as on March 31st, 2014 created by the Institute to meet these liabilities is Rs.349.37 Crores. The provision towards these liabilities are not fully provided and since the actuarial valuation as at 31.03.2014 is not available, the impact of the same on the Statement of Affairs and the Surplus generated during the year is not ascertained.

b. The Institute carries long outstanding balances of Sundry Debtors, the review of the same to identify doubtful debts and creation of appropriate provision towards doubtful debts is not yet completed and consequently the provision for doubtful debts is not provided in the books of accounts.

c. As disclosed in Note 2 of Schedule 16, the Institute follows the accounting policy of capitalizing the assets purchased out of non plan fund at Rs. 1.00 and charging the balance amount to the Income and Expenditure account. As referred to in Note 1 of Schedule 17, the amount of such assets charged off is Rs.156.41 lakhs during the year. The said accounting policy is not in accordance with the Accounting Standard 10 – Accounting for Fixed Assets issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India.

d. As referred to in Note No 1 under Schedule 17, the Institute has transferred Rs. 253.95 lakh of revenue / capital expenditure to the Maintenance, Repairs and Obsolescence – Fund without routing the expenditure through Income and Expenditure Account. Further the interest of Rs. 78.88 lakh earned on investments earmarked for the said fund is not credited to Income and Expenditure account. The said practice is not as per the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

e. An amount of Rs.96.60 Lakhs receivable grouped in the Schedule 5 under Sponsored Scheme Deposit is long outstanding and doubtful of recovery. No provision has been made towards the same.

f. The balance of Sundry Debtors Rs.3339.88 Lakhs under Schedule 8 and the amount of Rs.2987.08 Lakhs of Deposits received from the clients under Schedule 5 are not confirmed and are under reconciliation.

Qualified Opinion

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India:

(a) In the case of the Balance Sheet, of the state of affairs of the Institute as at March 31, 2014; and

(b) In the case of Income and Expenditure Account, of the Excess of Income over Expenditure for the year ended on that date and

(c) In case of Receipts and Payment statement, of the cash flows for the year ended on that date.

14Emphasis of Matter

As referred to in Note No 5 of Schedule 17, the Institute has claimed exemption under section 10(21) in the Income Tax Returns, the same is not completely accepted by the Income Tax Department and Income Tax Demand has been raised. The appeal by the Institute has been accepted by Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals), however the Income Tax department has appealed against the orders of CIT (A). Pending completion of assessment / appeals, provision for income tax has not been made.

Our Opinion is not qualified in respect of the matters reported under the heading Emphasis of Matter.
