MINUTES OF 15 TH MEETING OF WESTERN REGIONAL POWER COMMITTEE HELD ON 12TH NOVEMBER 2010 AT UDAIPUR

The Technical Co-ordination Committee and 15th Western Regional Power Committee

meetings were held on 11th and 12th November 2010 respectively at Udaipur which was

hosted by National Thermal Power Corporation Ltd. The list of participants is at

Annexure-1 (a) and Annexure -1 (b) respectively.

Shri S. C. Pandey, RED(WR), NTPC Ltd., welcomed the members and participants of

the 15th WRPC meeting and stated that NTPC is honored to host this WRPC meeting at

Udaipur. He briefly highlighted the salient features of NTPC stating that NTPC has an

available capacity of 32694 MW of which 8070 MW is in WR as on date. He stated that

NTPC have recently added 500 MW at Jhajhar in Haryana and 500 MW at Korba and

660 MW at Sipat would be commissioned in WR in FY 2010-11. He said that 16840

MW capacities under construction, another 7000 MW is under tendering process and

13000 MW under FR preparation. He added that NTPC is making efforts to achieve

75000 MW plus capacity by the year 2017 out of which 10866 MW is in WR and project

work at Mauda-I and Vindhyachal-IV is progressing satisfactorily. He stated that

NTPC’s operational performance for all running stations has been very satisfactory and

they have surpassed the Govt. of India MOU in the first half of the current financial year

and shown confidence in surpassing all the previous levels of operational performance

in current financial year with the support of WR constituents. He thanked Chairman,

WRPC for giving them the opportunity to host this meeting.

Chairman, WRPC on behalf of WRPC, welcomed the members of WRPC and

participants representing various power utilities of Western Region viz. CSPTCL,

CSPDCL, CSPGCL, GETCO, GSECL, MGVCL, MPPGCL MKVVCL MSETCL MSEGCL

MSEDCL Goa Electricity Department, DD & DNH, NTPC, POWERGRID, NPCIL, NCA,

NHDC, Torrent Power, RGPPL, GIPCL, TPC, RETL, SLDCs, WRLDC, NLDC, CEA in

15th meeting of WRPC hosted by NTPC at Udaipur.

He thanked NTPC authorities for consenting to host this meeting of WRPC and making

excellent arrangements for the meeting and for comfortable stay of the members

attending the TCC and WRPC meetings.

He highlighted the salient features of operation of WR grid during August and

September 2010 stating that these months have been comfortable because hardly any

advisory messages were issued to Western Region Constituent members and also

need was not felt to implement load regulatory measures. He requested all members to

make efforts to implement load regulatory measures in line with availability of power so

that efforts could be made to flatten the load curve to the extent possible and to ensure

that overdrawals from the system are avoided strictly during low frequency regime. He

further stated that all states have already formulated their load regulatory measures

plan and was confident that and with the experience of past years, WR will succeed in

maintaining our system in a satisfactory manner because WRPC system is known to be

one of the best managed Transmission System in the Country.

He stated that in view of the implementation of CERC Regulations 2010 w.e.f 1.1.2010

on sharing of Inter-State Charges and losses the related agenda items are included in

this agenda for discussion/ approval based on the outcome from sub-committees of

WRPC in the last quarter. The implementation agency i.e. NLDC designated by CERC

has undertaken the estimation of allocation of Transmission charges and losses at

various nodes in the region and has held three meetings of implementation committee

to review progress on various activities in this process. First phase of capacity building

workshops conducted by the Implementing agency to acquaint the regional utilities on

the new tariff is completed. Second phase of the capacity building workshop has

commenced in this month. The various transmission schemes agreed in 30th Standing

Committee Meeting of CEA on Power System Planning for Western Region that were

taken up in 14th WRPC meeting for endorsement of WR Power Committee were

separately discussed subsequently by WR constituents. During discussions at Nagpur,

more or less, there has been consensus on the detailed report of 30th Standing

Committee. He said that in case however, there are any minor modifications or

changes, the same may have to be submitted to Standing Committee because the

schemes are evolved by Standing Committee on the basis of detailed studies

conducted by CTU in association with CEA. In the special meeting, organised by Power

Grid Corporation of India at Nagpur, apart from discussions on the report of Standing

Committee, the detailed progress of various Intra-State and Inter- State transmission

schemes under five different categories was discussed. Priority transmission lines were

identified and special attention was paid to such of the transmission lines and


3

substations, wherein delay in implementation is likely to jeopardise interests of

constituent members. The participating members had assured that they will make all out

efforts to speed up construction activities so that completion of transmission projects in

a coordinated manner within time bound schedule could be ensured. Special group and

committees formed during the last WRPC meeting have discussed issues relating to

scheduling of STOA transactions related to embedded State generators and proposals

for schemes to be considered for funding through PSDF etc. The suggestions have

been included in agenda for consideration. He complemented the efforts made by the

groups towards this activity. At the end, he thanked NTPC for excellent arrangements

made by them to for the meeting and stay. He also thanked members and participants

of the meeting for attending the same and their valuable support.

ITEM No.1: CONFIRMATION OF THE MINUTES OF THE 14th MEETING OF WRP

Chairman WRPC stated that as assets are under the custody of POWERGRID, spares

fibers, if need be, shall be used on recommendation of POWERGRID with the approval

of WRPC. Referring to the amendment sought by MP Tradeco it was noted that a

meeting was being convened on 15th November at Jabalpur, wherein the issue is likely

to be discussed and resolved. As such no reservations might exist on the amendment

sought.

The Committee discussed and agreed to the same. The minutes of the 14th WRPC meeting were confirmed without any amendments. ITEM No.2: INCLUSION OF NON-ISTS ASSETS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF POINT

CONNECTION METHOD FOR POINT OF CONNECTION CHARGES

Member Secretary, WRPC stated that CERC Regulations, 2010 on "Sharing on

transmission charges and Losses" regulation 2010 are to come in force from 1.1.2011.

The determination of transmission charges as per this Regulation is required to be

limited to the network owned, operated and maintained by the ISTS Licensees or those

transmission licensees / SEBs whose assets have been certified by RPCs as being

used for inter-state transmission.

Only such assets as above will be included in for implementation of point connection

method for point of connection charges. Preparation of a cogent network requires

consideration of state owned lines also. The YTC for such lines shall be based on the

YTC of the transmission licensee / SEB as approved by the Appropriate Commission.

Member Secretary, WRPC stated that in 56th Commercial Committee meeting of WRPC

held on 22.10.2010 the matter to identify the lines owned and operated by the

States/transmission licensees that would come under the category of Certified ISTS

lines and required to be certified by the RPCs was discussed. GETCO, MPPTCL,

CSPTCL had submitted the list of state lines used for Inter-state transmission of power

for inclusion in certification by the WRPC. The Commercial Committee had discussed

and recommended criteria to be adopted for identifying such lines as follows:-

1. Connectivity of State transmission utilities of the region with CTU network within the regional boundary: The state transmission utilities of the region should


5

be connected to ISTS (CTU) network. In case of no direct connection by CTU line,

the intervening state owned lines(s) with the shortest path to the nearest ISTS (CTU)

sub-station/line, at the highest voltage level would be considered for inclusion in

POC charge and would require certification by RPCs.

Application: With the above Gujarat, Maharashtra, MP, Chhattisgarh systems are

well connected to ISTS network. However Goa and Diu are not directly connected

to CTU network.

In the case of Goa, Mapusa is ISTS (CTU) node and 400 kV Mapusa-Kolhapur D/c

is ISTS (CTU) line. But this line is not connected to the ISTS (CTU) network, the

nearest point up to which connectivity through State system is to be established is

400 kV Chandrapur, which receives power from ISGS stations over ISTS (CTU)

network from 400 kV Bhadravati-Chandrapur line of CTU. Thus the path on 400 kV

is Chandrapur – Parli – Solapur – Karad - Kolhapur may be considered for POC

charge as Certified ISTS lines.

In the case of Diu, considering the lines that are coming up by March, 2012, the

nearest point up to which connectivity through State system is to be established is

400 kV Jetpur, which would receive power from ISGS stations over ISTS (CTU)

network from 400 kV Mundra - Jetpur ISTS (CTU) line nearest ISTS (CTU). From

400 kV Jetpur sub-station of Gujarat State, the state lines of Gujarat system that

provide connectivity to Diu are 220 kV Jetpur- Keshod-Timbdi-Dhokadva and and 66

kV Dhokadva -Una which may be considered for POC charge as Certified ISTS

lines.

2) Connectivity of inter-regional transmission lines in the State with CTU network within the regional boundary: The Inter-Regional lines emanating from a

State in the own region which transfer Inter-Regional power should get connected to

the nearest ISTS (CTU) network in own region. The inter-regional line transferring

power is either CTU owned line or State owned line. In case of no direct connection

of the State sub-station of own region of the inter-regional line, the intervening state

owned line(s) with the shortest path to the nearest ISTS (CTU) sub-station/line, at

the highest voltage level in the own region would be considered for inclusion in POC


6

charge and would require certification by RPCs. Lower voltage paths or parallel

paths, if any, will not be considered.

Application:

(i) 400 kV Kansari (Zerda)-Kankroli line is an ISTS (CTU) Inter Regional Line. The

400 kV Kansari (Zerda) sub-station of Gujarat State does not have direct

connectivity with CTU point in the own region. The nearest CTU network point is at

400 kV Dehgam. The connectivity from 400 kV Dehgam - Soja- Zerda lines may

be considered for POC charge as Certified ISTS lines.

(ii) 220 kV Budhipadar - Raigarh is Inter Regional (IR) CTU line and two circuits 220

kV Budhipadar- Korba (E) are state owned Inter-regional lines which are also ISTS

lines between States of the two regions viz. ER and WR. Korba (E) is connected to

ISTS line 220 kV Raigarh-Korba (E). Hence State owned portions of 220 kV two

ckts, Korba (E)-Budhipadar getting connected to ISTS network at Korba (E) itself

may be considered for POC charge as Certified ISTS lines.

(iii) 220 kV Badod-Kota and Badod-Modak are state-owned Inter-regional lines. These

get connected to nearest ISTS (CTU) sub-station at Indore or Nagda. The nearest

connectivity to either Indore or Nagda ISTS (CTU) sub-station may be considered

for certified ISTS lines-namely either 220 kV Indore(Jaitppura)-Ujjain-Badod or

220kV Nagda-Ujjain-Badod. The State-owned portions of 220 kV Badod-Kota and

Badod-Modak alongwith the connectivity of state owned lines with CTU point either

at 220 kV Indore or at 220 kV Ujjain may be considered for POC charge as

Certified ISTS lines.

220 kV Auraiya-Malanpur and Auriya - Mehgam is an IR line. The nearest ISTS

(CTU) sub-station is 220 kV Gwalior. The connectivity is 220 kV Malanpur -

Mehgaon (Gwalior) and 220 kV Malanpur-Gwalior (PG). Hence State owned

portions of 220 kV Auraiya-Mehgaon-Malanpur-Gwalior, Auraiya-Malanpur-Gwalior

lines may be considered POC charge as Certified ISTS lines.

The following points had also been noted in the context of identification of non-ISTS

lines for inclusion under the POC charge:


7

1) Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Indian Electricity Grid Code)

Regulations, 2010 defines under 2 (qq) “Inter State Transmission System (ISTS)”

means

i) Any system for the conveyance of electricity by means of a main transmission

line from the territory of one State to another State

ii) The conveyance of electricity across the territory of an intervening State as well

as conveyance within the State which is incidental to such inter-state

transmission of energy.

iii) The transmission of electricity within the territory of State on a system built,

owned, operated, maintained or controlled by CTU;

2) In view of above it was pointed out that out of all those inter-state lines which are

owned, operated and maintained by SEBs as their assets and being used for

inter-state transmission require to be included in POC charge calculation.

3) CERC Regulations, 2010 on "Sharing on transmission charges and Losses"

regulation 2010, under 2 (k) defines Deemed Inter State Transmission System

(Deemed ISTS) means “such transmission system which has regulatory approval

of the Commission as being used for interstate transmission of power and

qualified as ISTS for the purpose of these Regulations unless otherwise

specified;”

4) All lines that have regulatory approval of the Commission as being used for

interstate transmission of power are classified as Deemed ISTS category and

would therefore not need certification by RPC.

5) CERC Regulations, 2010 (Rates, Charges and Terms and Conditions for use of

Intervening Transmission Facilities) Regulations, 2010 dated 23.9.2010, have

been issued. These regulations shall apply only where a contract path can be

identified. Further these Regulations apply to the intervening transmission

facilities which are incidental to inter-State transmission owned or operated by a

licensee and are used or proposed to be used by any trading licensee or

distribution licensee for transmission of power through long-term access, medium

term open access or short term open access.


8

Prior to the notification of the above Regulation on Rates, Charges and Terms

and Conditions, the agreements entered into either through mutual consent of

the contracting parties or on the orders passed by the Appropriate Commission,

for use of any intervening transmission facilities, shall continue to have effect

notwithstanding inconsistency, if any, with these regulations till the expiry of such

agreements.

In TCC meeting, PGCIL representative had stated that the criteria based on the

evaluation of extent of actual ISTS power flow quantum on the non-ISTS lines should be

used for listing out the elements for inclusion under POC charge. ED (Finance), GUVNL

stated that GETCO system used for evacuation of power from Kakrapar and Kawas

ISGS stations needed to be included under PoC charges. The matter was discussed. It

was clarified that as the injection into the State grid from the above ISGS stations takes

place through ISTS lines, wherein the State grid has direct connectivity to the ISTS

network, the state network as per the criteria has accordingly not come under

consideration for POC. GUVNL queried about any similar case elsewhere and how the

treatment for POC purpose is considered. ED, WRLDC stated that similar situation

exists in RAPS in NR, and how this case is treated shall be reverted back.

The TCC discussed the criteria recommended by the Commercial Committee of WRPC

Proposed list of lines identified for certification as per Annexure-2.1 (Annexure-2 of the

agenda notes) was perused and discussed.

TCC suggested the following:-

i. 132 kV Balaghat-Dongargarh line may be certified only if it is kept in operation

not otherwise. As at present the line is not kept in operation, it may not be

included in ISTS list.

ii. If any other lines is found eligible on the basis of above mentioned criteria for the

certification, the same may be included in the list.

iii. YTC of the respective lines as approved by the appropriate Commission, shall be

furnished by the concerned utilities to the implementing agency for needful.


9

On the basis of above, TCC had recommended to adopt criteria for inclusion of non-

ISTS lines for POC charge as suggested by the Commercial Committee and to include

non-ISTS lines for POC charge as per the Annexure- 2.2.

The WR Power Committee discussed the issue. PGCIL representative had stated that

the criteria based on the precise evaluation of extent of actual ISTS power flow quantum

on the non-ISTS lines should be used for listing out the elements for inclusion under

POC charge. The Committee members observed that under interconnected grid

conditions, the identification mechanism for listing out non-ISTS lines based on CTU

connectivity criteria as recommended by Commercial Committee/TCC as above would

be in order.

ED (Finance), GUVNL stated that GETCO system used for evacuation of power from

Kakrapar and Kawas ISGS stations needs to be included under PoC charges. It was

clarified that as the injection into the State grid from the above ISGS stations takes

place through ISTS lines, wherein the State grid has direct connectivity to the ISTS

network, the state network has accordingly as per the criteria not come under

consideration for POC charge. Further identification of non-ISTS lines to be adopted is

on the basis of availability of CTU connectivity of the node which handles ISTS power,

although the utilization of State’s shares from ISGS stations located within or outside

the State takes place from load point of view.

GUVNL suggested that similar case elsewhere if any and the treatment for POC charge

purpose may be examined. ED, WRLDC stated that similar situation exists in RAPS in

NR, and how this case is treated may be studied. GUVNL requested WRLDC to

examine how much of GETCO system is being used for evacuation of ISGS generation

to other beneficiaries.

In the above context it was intimated that under regulation 7 (1) (t) (vii) of the CERC

regulations on Sharing of transmission charges and losses), Regulations 2010, the

regulations preserve the existing arrangement for evacuation system of power from

ISGS using STU lines which is reproduced as below:


10

"Long term beneficiaries of ISGS connected to STU network shall continue to pay the

transmission charges for the STU network as per the existing arrangement"

The Committee members further discussed the related matters and decisions taken on

the same as follows:-

i. In regard to query for MSETCL, for lines like Nasik-Navsari or Pandhurna-

Kalmeshwar shown against GETCO or MPPTCL, it was agreed that each of the

utilities at either end has a stake in the POC of lines corresponding to the portion

in their respective jurisdiction.

ii. Regarding inclusion of 132 kV Balaghat-Dongargarh interstate line for POC

charge, the Committee suggested that same may not be considered as the line is

in not in operation, since long period and is not kept in operation. It was decided

that the same may not be included for certification as ISTS line.

iii. The lines at items 1 to 4 & 7 and 8 under A of Annexure-2 of the proposed list

in the agenda notes for POC consideration would be reviewed after

commissioning of 400 kV Mundra-Bachau-Ranchodpura D/c line of

POWERGRID and 400 kV Ranchodpura – Zerda D/c line by Reliance IPTC and

400 kV Nagda-RAPS-C D/c lines.

iv. Further the concerned owner utility of the certified ISTS line shall immediately

furnish to the Implementing Agency (NLDC) the YTC of the respective lines as

approved by the appropriate commission.

v. WRLDC shall examine how much of GETCO system is being used for

evacuation of ISGS generation to other beneficiaries for further needful.

vi. The WRP Committee approved the criteria recommended by TCC as above and on the basis of above, approved the list of state owned Interstate / Inter-regional lines for certification as ISTS lines, the other ISTS lines and deemed ISTS lines for inclusion under POC charge which is placed at


11

Annexure-2.2. It was agreed that any other non-ISTS line that comes up and meets the criteria agreed as above, may be considered for certification as ISTS line.

ITEM No.3: CERC (RATES, CHARGES AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE OF INTERVENING TRANSMISSION FACILITIES REGULATIONS, 2010

3.1 Member Secretary, WRPC stated that Hon’ble CERC issued regulation on Rates,

charges and Terms and Conditions for use of intervening transmission Facilities vide

No. L-1/10/2009-CERC dated 23.09.2010. The salient features of this regulation are

given below:

a) These regulations shall apply only where a contract path can be identified.

b) These regulation shall apply where the intervening transmission facilities

incidental to inter-state transmission owned or operated by a licensee, are used

or proposed to be used by any trading licensee or distribution licensee for

3.2 Member Secretary, WRPC stated that In accordance with the directions given by

the Hon’ble Commission in the order dated 31.07.2009 in the petition No.

64/2008 and 67/2008, WRPC Secretariat had worked out the transmission

charges payable to GETCO for conveyance of Central Sector power to DD &

DNH for the period 1.04.10 to 31.03.2011 which have been vetted by the

Commission vide its order dated 31.07.2010.

3.3 Member Secretary, WRPC stated that as per the discussions in 13th WRPC

meeting held on 9th April 2010 and 55th CCM of WRPC held on 15th July 2010,

WRPC vide letter dated 17.08.2010 had sent the calculations to WR constituents

on the basis of contract path method for transmission charges for use of

MSETCL transmission system for conveyance of Central Sector power to Goa for

the year 2010-11 (implemented in the REAs of August 2010 onwards). The

transmission charges for use of MSETCL transmission system for use of

MSETCL transmission system for transmission of RGPPL power to Goa, DD &

DNH were also sent to all the constituents.

In view of 3.1 (c) above these charges are to be valid for the year 2010-11 (i.e.

upto month of March 2011).

The matter was discussed during 56th Commercial Committee Meeting held on

22.10.2010 at WRPC office, Mumbai. The Committee had opined that in case the

transmission charges for wheeling Central sector power to DD & DNH through

GETCO system and wheeling of Central sector power to Goa through MSETCL

system are calculated as per rates, charges and Terms and Conditions for use of

intervening transmission as per CERC regulation on Rates, charges and Terms

and Conditions, 2010, the transmission charges of the intervening states'

systems would not be sharable by other regional beneficiaries. The Commercial

Committee suggested that existing practice of calculation of wheeling charges

may be continued till the validity of the Charges communicated as above in

accordance with the CERC norms vide order dated 31.07.2009 i.e. March 2011.

Subsequent to that these charges may be governed as per CERC regulations on

sharing on transmission charges and losses Regulation 2010.


14

3.4 In 56th CCM, the mechanism for billing & sharing the charges of wheeling of

RGPPL power to Goa, DD & DNH through MSETCL transmission system w.e.f.

start of scheduling of RGPPL power to Goa, DD & DNH on achieving full load of

1940 MW was discussed by the commercial committee in line with the

methodology for billing the charges for wheeling the transmission charges for use

of MSETCL transmission system for wheeling Central Sector power to Goa and

wheeling of ISTS power to DD, DNH through GETCO system. The constituent

members opined that all beneficiaries do not have share in RGPPL power.

GUVNL, CSPDCL expressed that they would not share the wheeling charges for

wheeling RGPPL power to Goa, DD & DNH through MSETCL transmission

system.

The Commercial Committee suggested that in such a case CERC Regulation,

2010 (Rates, Charges and Terms and Conditions for use of Intervening

Transmission Facilities) Regulations, 2010 dated 23.9.2010 may be applicable

for utilization of RGPPL power for Goa, DD & DNH only.

The TCC had discussed the issue and recommended that the existing practice of

calculation of wheeling charges for Gujarat and Maharashtra systems may be continued

till the validity of the Charges upto March 2011. Subsequent to that these charges may

be governed as per CERC regulations on sharing on transmission charges and losses

Regulation 2010.

TCC had further recommended that the payment of transmission charges may be

governed by CERC Regulation, 2010 (Rates, Charges and Terms and Conditions for

use of Intervening Transmission Facilities) Regulations, 2010 dated 23.9.2010 for

utilization of RGPPL power for Goa, DD & DNH only.

WRP Committee endorsed recommendations of TCC as above.

ITEM No.4: UTILISATION OF 220 KV D/C KOLHAPUR –CHIKODI LINE FOR TRANSFER OF POWER BETWEEN WR AND SR

Member Secretary, WRPC stated that a meeting was held on 06.05.2010 regarding

utilization of 220 kV D/c Kolhapur-Chikodi line for exchange of power between SR and

WR under STOA. SRLDC vide letter dated 13.05.2010 had sent methodology for

utilization of the above line and had requested comments on the same. The matter was

discussed in the 412th OCC meeting of WRPC held on 14.06.2010 and 413th OCC

meeting held on 14.07.2010. Subsequently the matter was also taken up by SR in the

SRPC meeting and methodology proposed to be adopted for utilization of the above line

in radial mode was discussed. Also, a meeting between WRPC, MSETCL, MSEDCL,

WRLDC & SRPC was held on 14.10.2010 at WRPC, Mumbai to discuss the issue of

utilization of 220 kV D/c Kolhapur-Chikodi line relating to the methodology for utilization

of the above line was discussed and following were the conclusions:

1) Power flow on the above line would be in radial mode, with Chikodi loads in

Maharashtra system in case of export of power from WR to SR and Maharashtra

loads in Karnataka system in case of export of power from SR to WR.

As the energy transfer is to take place in line with provision under clause 16(1)

and 16(2) under Complementary Commercial Mechanism at Annexure-I of IEGC

2010 for inter-regional Exchanges, the interface for scheduling and UI accounting

will be at Western region end for the above energy exchange between Western

and Southern Region.

2) The loss part in wheeling of the actual power through Maharashtra system was

not addressed in the above methodology to compensate the Maharashtra State

system. It was therefore recommended that the percentage applicable losses for

Maharashtra system on the actual drawl or injection at Kolhapur metering point

would be deducted from Maharashtra drawl from the grid.

3) CE(PP), MSEDCL stated that the matter would be taken up with their

management for necessary action and they would revert back on the decision.


16

4) CE(PP), MSEDCL queried about the time frame of transactions and whether

Maharashtra would get priority in case they wanted to import the power. WRLDC

clarified that the utilization of above line comes under the purview of Short Term

Open Access (STOA) and as such the STOA methodology as per the regulations

in vogue, would be applicable for the transactions concerning above.

5) Before permitting of STOA by WRLDC on the above line, SLDC, Kalwa,

MSETCL would intimate the availability of the line for STOA purposes in terms of

quantum of load, period and duration. Accordingly WRLDC would proceed as per

STOA method and intimate all concerned agencies.

6) With above inclusions, the methodology discussed by SRPC was found to be in

order.

The matter was discussed in 56th Commercial Committee Meeting held on

22.10.2010 at WRPC office, Mumbai upon query by MSEDCL about the time frame

of transactions and whether Maharashtra would get priority in case they wanted to

import the power, WRLDC had clarified that the utilization of above line comes under

the purview of Short Term Open Access (STOA) and as such the STOA

methodology as per the Regulations in vogue, would be applicable as open access

on Kolhapur-Chikodi route shall have to be non-discriminatory.

Following methodology for compensation of losses of Maharashtra system through

adjustment in drawal of Maharashtra without making any change in drawal schedule

of Maharashtra State was agreed by Commercial Committee:

1. Kolhapur end of Kolhapur-Chikodi line will be treated as one of drawal points in

calculation of drawal of Maharashtra.

2. Depending on direction of flow over above line the SEM reading at Kolhapur will

be modified by a factor of 1/(1-0.0485) in case power flow from Kohapur to

Chikodi and by a factor of 1.0485 in case power flow from Chikodi to Kolhapur.

TCC recommended the above decision of Commercial Committee and WRP Committee approved the same.

ITEM No.5: TRANSMISSION CHARGES & LOSSES FOR USE OF MPPTCL

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FOR TRANSFER OF POWER ON 220 KV BADOD-KOTA & BADOD-MODAK LINES AND GETCO TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FOR TRANSFER OF POWER TO NR ON ZERDA (KANSARI) – KANKORLI & ISSUES RAISED BY CHHATTISGARH

Member Secretary, WRPC stated that during 14th WRPC meeting held on 19.08.2010

above issues were discussed wherein WR Power Committee constituted a Group

comprising of representatives from SLDCs, WRLDC and WRPC to look into the issues

raised by Chhattisgarh in regard to scheduling of STOA transactions mechanism and to

suggest for working out the losses in respect of usage of MPPTCL transmission system

for transfer of power to NR through, Badod-Modak and Badod-Kota 220 kV lines and

GETCO transmission network for transfer of power to NR from WR through Zerda

(Kansari) – Kankroli link. Accordingly, a meeting of the group to discuss above issues

was held at WRPC office Mumbai on 23.09.2010. MP Power Transmission Co. Ltd. vide

no 07-05/RPC/195 dated 21.10.2010 had communicated that suggestions relating to Sr

no 4 & 8 were not agreed by them and requested to amend the same. ED, WRLDC

subsequently vide letter No. WRLDC/OS/02 dated 25.10.2010 had also submitted

WRLDC views on the suggestions of outcome.

5.1 The TCC suggested that as items 4 and 8 of the outcome of the discussions

were not agreeable by all the members and may not be included in the

recommendations. TCC further noted observation of WRLDC on the outcome on

discussions of the group.

Due to divergent views, the Chairman TCC suggested that the matter regarding

scheduling of STOA transactions mechanism may be further discussed amongst

CSPTCL, WRPC and WRLDC after the TCC meeting and outcome of the same may be

discussed in WRPC meeting on 12.11.2010.

Member Secretary, WRPC stated that the matter relating to the revision of schedule

upon under injection by the State generators was discussed between CSPTCL, WRLDC

and WRPC, after the TCC meeting on 11.11.2010. The Gist of discussion was placed

before WRPC (Copy at Annexure-5.1).


18

WR Power Committee discussed the outcome. The Committee centered on two main

issues relating to UI payment defaults and the generation scheduling of the State

entities/embedded generators under STOA. The committee suggested that in case of

default by any state utility in UI payment to the State UI pool the concerned SLDC may

take up matter with the State Regulatory Commission for the remedy on similar lines as

applicable under CERC provision for regional UI pool through opening LC for recovery

of the default amount or even requesting for stopping the STOA. The Committee arrived

at opinion that currently under injection by embedded generators/State entities of

capacity below 100 MW presently although is not contributing towards congestion/grid

security problems, the problem might become serious in terms of grid security and

repercussions arising on commercial gaming in case more number of embedded

generators/state entities come up and start intentionally adopting to sustained under-

injection or even no-injection particularly on finding that scheduled power rate is higher

than the prevailing real-time UI rate. In such cases the current regulation does not

provide for revision/reduction of the generators’ schedule which would require

amendment. The Committee further deliberated and arrived at consensus as following:

i) The issue of payment default could be taken up by SLDC with the Appropriate

Commission in the first instance so that the payments are recovered.

However if an intra-state entity continuously defaults for two weekly cycle, the

nodal agency could be requested by the SLDC to cancel the STOA approval

granted. This would require an amendment in Regulations for which the

matter needed to be taken up with CERC.

ii) Regarding the issue of sustained under-injection, it was agreed that such

under-injection was not inconsistent with any of the current Regulation/s due

to which practice could continue indefinitely. Further such under-injection by

very small generator did not cause any network problem due to which the

SLDC could not take any actions on real time basis.

Considering that more such cases might be encountered in future which has a long term

potential to threaten grid security and/or distort the electricity market (which is

essentially a physical delivery market), it was decided that SLDC Chhattisgarh would


19

monitor such instances of under-injection and document the same. Such intra state

entities could be issued a notice by the SLDC asking them to explain this behavior and

correct the same. Failure to do so could entail the SLDC canceling the standing

clearance given to such intra state entities for STOA/Power Exchange. This would

however require an amendment in the CERC Regulations on Open Access for which

the committee felt that the matter needed to be taken up with CERC.

In view of above, the WR Power Committee suggested that CSPTCL may file a petition with CERC accordingly. 5.2 Regarding the matter for evolving mechanism for compensation of losses on

transfer of power to NR over MPPTCL and GUVNL network, the TCC recommended

the methodology agreed in CCM viz. the losses on intra-state systems for actual inter-

regional power transfer on Badod- Kota, Badod- Modak inter-regional link and 400 kV

Kansari (Zerda)-Kankroli inter-regional link shall be pooled amongst the constituents

of WR based on percentage losses approved by the State Commission for State

transmission system in respective states. It would be reviewed after commissioning of

400 kV Mundra-Bachau-Ranchodpura D/c line of POWERGRID and 400 kV

Ranchodpura – Zerda D/c line by Reliance IPTC and 400 kV Nagda-RAPS-C D/c

lines.

WRP Committee approved the recommendation of TCC which may be implemented from prospective date i.e. from 01.11.2010.

ITEM No.6: TRANSMISSION CHARGES FOR USE OF MSETCL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FOR CONVEYANCE OF CENTRAL SECTOR POWER TO GOA AND RGPPL POWER TO GOA, DD & DNH FOR THE PERIOD 1.04.10 TO 31.03.2011

Member Secretary, WRPC stated that the issue regarding calculation of transmission

charges for use of MSETCL transmission system for conveyance of Central Sector

power to Goa for the year 2010-11 was discussed during 13th WRPC meeting & 55th

Commercial Committee Meeting. Accordingly, WRPC vide letter dated 17.08.2010

have issued the calculations for transmission charges for use of MSETCL transmission

system for conveyance of ISTS power to Goa for the year 2010-11 (implemented in the


20

REAs of August 2010 onwards) and transmission charges for use of MSETCL

transmission system and for use of MSETCL transmission system for transmission of

RGPPL power to Goa, DD & DNH were sent to all the constituents.

Chief General Manager (L&RA), MP Tradco vide letter dated 20.09.2010 (copy

enclosed at Annexure-6.1) have submitted their observations on computation of above

transmission charges.

This matter was discussed during 56th Commercial Committee Meeting held on

22.10.10 wherein MSETCL representative had stated that normal income tax rate

@33.2175 % is applicable to MSETCL for FY 2010-11. Commercial Committee

expressed that as MPTradco was not represented in this meeting issue can be

discussed in presence of MPTradco and discussion was deferred for next meeting.

WRP Committee noted the same. ITEM No.7: DECISIONS TAKEN DURING 30th MEETING OF STANDING

COMMITTEE ON POWER SYSTEM PLANNING IN WR

Member Secretary, WRPC stated that as suggested by Chairman, WRPC/CMD,

MPPTCL during 14th WRPC meeting held on 19th August, 2010 at Mumbai the various

decisions taken during the 30th meeting of the Standing Committee on Power System

Planning in Western Region held on 8th July 2010 were discussed during the 3rd

meeting for reviewing progress of various Transmission Schemes in Western Region

held on 6th September, 2010 at Nagpur. MSETCL and CSPTCL had suggested

following amendment in items pertaining to Standing Committee in the minutes of

meeting held on 6th September, 2010 at Nagpur:

Comments by MSETCL: 1. Establishment of proposed HVDC sub-station (PG) Dhule under transmission

system within WR associated with New IPPs in Chhattisgarh

(a) MSETCL indicated that in its presentation in the meeting it had intimated that

MSPGCL had planned 3000 MW generation near Dhule at Dondaicha and 1350 MW

generation of M/s India Bulls at Sinnar in Nasik District was planned. In view of the


21

same they have planned parallel additional corridors in Dhule-Nashik-Malegaon area

and therefore had suggested POWERGRID to review the decision of establishing

HVDC s/s at Dhule with +/- 600 kV Raigarh(Kotra)-Dhule(PG) HVDC Bipolar link and

400 kV interconnecting lines with Malegaon, Nashik, Dhule(MSETCL) which

POWERGRID had agreed and requested to include the same in the minutes. MD,

GETCO had indicated that in case the HVDC s/s was not required at Dhule the same

may be shifted to Vadodara.

(b) The flows from Raipur pooling station to the following proposed 765 kV lines by

POWERGRID under transmission system within WR associated with New IPPs in

Chhattisgarh as per the load study done by MSETCL were very less on 765 kV 2 x

D/C Raipur pooling station to Wardha (PG) and 765 kV 2 x D/C Wardha-Aurangabad

(PG) lines compared to the capacity of lines and suggested to consider only 1xD/C

instead of 2xD/C lines.

2. Establishment of 765/400 kV GIS s/s at Pune under Krishnapatnam UMPP

In the above meeting while expressing difficulties by POWERGRID in acquiring land at

Pune for establishing AIS at Pune, MSETCL had opined that POWERGRID should go

in for AIS instead of proposed GIS at Pune and for difficulties in availability of land

MSETCL shall assist for taking up at Government level if POWERGRID required so

and requested to include this in the minutes.

Comments by CSPTCL:-

Regarding point on establishment of HVDC station at Dhule and metallic conductor

provision against use of earth return path, CSPTCL requested to include the technical

deliberation leading to the conclusion arrived at on account of the fact that even in

bipole operation, some D.C. current flows to the earth return which is found damaging to

several installations e.g. pipeline buried in the ground etc. and therefore to have a

trouble free HVDC operation metallic return is necessary which was agreed in the

meeting.


22

During TCC meeting, regarding MSETCL suggestion to review /amendment of

transmission schemes relating to HVDC s/s (PG) Dhule was discussed and it was

intimated that the scheme for HVDC S/s at Dhule was discussed in detail in the 30th

Standing Committee and was evolved through carrying out studies by CTU in

association with CEA in consideration for evolving common transmission system for

upcoming IPP generation projects in Chhattisgarh (about 15000 MW), proposed Dhule-

II (1600 MW) generation project considering alongwith its associated transmission

system. Based on above a comprehensive transmission corridors including +/- 600 kV

4000MW Raigarh(Kotra)-Dhule (PG) HVDC link was identified and agreed to in the

Standing Committee meetings.

In the TCC meeting, the Committee suggested that as the above schemes were

evolved through the process of detailed studies conducted by CTU in association with

CEA in consideration of power evacuation from various IPPs / Generators coming up in

Chhattisgarh and the same had been concurred/ firmed up by the Standing Committee

on Power System Planning for Western Region, The need for developing hybrid

corridors comprising AC and DC systems for high capacity transmission systems was

expressed in the Standing Committee meetings. Keeping in view the progress of IPP

projects and in line with the Regulatory approval for implementation of high capacity

transmission corridors for IPP projects in Chhattisgarh, including the HVDC system as

above, the implementation of the transmission elements shall require to be taken up.

The frequent reviews may create bottlenecks in power evacuation. However, the

reviews/modification needed if any could be taken up in the standing Committee on

PSP for WR for discussion and consideration.

Regarding establishment of GIS 765/400 kV s/s at Pune, MSETCL was requested to

resolve the issue regarding land availability for AIS by 30th November 2010 else

POWERGRID may go in for GIS s/s.

The matter was discussed in WRP Committee meeting and while discussing the

amendment requested in the minutes pertaining to items of standing committee

Chairman, WRPC stated that generally there had been consensus on the detailed

report of 30th Standing Committee. In case, there were any modifications or changes,

the same may have to be submitted to the Standing Committee as the schemes are


23

evolved by Standing Committee on the basis of detailed studies conducted by CTU in

association with CEA. Further, the matter relating to implementation of intrastate

projects in Maharashtra State linked with the above schemes may be conveniently

discussed with CTU by the State separately for optimizing the transmission system

requirements and the plan so arrived at may be discussed by the Standing Committee

for concurrence. MSETCL were suggested to proceed with accordingly. Director (O),

PGCIL requested MSETCL to visit PGCIL office at New Delhi with the study report of

MSETCL and PGCIL and MSETCL would discuss to sort out issues. The

implementation of transmission elements agreed in Standing Committees shall however

be taken up by PGCIL keeping in view the progress of IPP projects.

WRP Committee discussed. The Committee in general was in agreement with the decisions of the Standing Committee and suggested that any further reviews / modification sought by utilities in the transmission planning may be taken up with the Standing Committee on Power System Planning for Western Region. The implementation of transmission elements agreed in Standing Committees may however be taken up by PGCIL keeping in view the progress of IPP projects.

ITEM No. 8: LAND REQUIREMENT FOR 400/220 KV GIS SUBSTATION AT DAMAN

Member Secretary, WRPC stated that during 14th WRPC meeting held on 19.08.10,

Chairman, WRPC requested Daman & Diu to confirm the acquisition of 8-12 acres of

Land for establishing 400/220kV GIS station at Daman by PGCIL. PGCIL has intimated

that as on date no land has been allocated which is causing delay in preparation of

Feasibility Report and tying up the funding agency.

DD representative during TCC meeting held on 11.11.2010 stated that they have

identified the land for substation and the necessary formalities for acquisition are in

advanced stage.

WRP Committee noted the same.


24

ITEM No. 9: LAND REQUIREMENT FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF GIS S/S AT VADODARA

Member Secretary, WRPC stated that in the 30th Standing Committee meeting, PGCIL

had informed about the difficulty in acquisition of land of about 125-130 acres for

establishment of 765/400 kV AIS s/s at Vadodara. PGCIL vide letter No. WRTS-

II:VDR:WRSS-II:GETCO:2937 dated 16.10.10 (copy enclosed at Annexure-9) has

intimated that PGCIL & GETCO had discussions on 28.09.10 and it was agreed by

them that the availability of 125-130 acres of land is very difficult in the vicinity of

Vadodara and recommended that GIS s/s may be installed instead of AIS s/s for which

land requirement is to be tune of 50-60 acres. PGCIL intimated that to avoid further

delay they are going ahead in initiating the process of acquisition of land.

TCC recommended for establishment of GIS s/s at Vadodara in view of the difficulties of

availability of land.

WRP Committee endorsed the above recommendation of TCC. ITEM No. 10 : RECOMMENDATIONS OF PSDF GROUP Member Secretary, WRPC stated that during 14th WRPC meeting held on 19.08.2010, a

Committee comprising representatives from MSETCL, GETCO, MPPTCL, CSPTCL,

NTPC, WRLDC, POWERGRID and WRPC was formed to discuss, identify types of

projects, schemes, activities to be included in the proposal / schemes to be submitted to

Management Committee of PSDF based on relevant Regulations of CERC specified for

this purpose.

The Committee constituted as above met on 7.09.10 and 19.10.2010 to discuss the

proposals suggested by the WR constituents/utilities the minutes of the meetings were

circulated to the constituents' representatives of the Committee detailing the proposals

suggested and discussions therein.

In the second meeting of the above Committee held on 19.10.2010 the Committee had

recommended following proposals for procurement through PSDF:-


25

1. Proposal for Procurement of Spare Transformers and Reactors by PGCIL:

(i) Considering the fact that Western Region caters to major load demand and

considering the population of transformers and requirement, the Committee

suggested that there is a need to keep one transformer per State and two

reactors for the region as a whole as spare. As approved by WR Power

Committee in 14th WRPC meeting to procure 400/220 kV ICTs of 315 MVA

capacity. Out of the total four nos proposed to be procured by POWERGRID,

three ICTs of three phase units of 315 MVA and one ICT of three single phase

units were recommended may be procured.

(ii) Regarding reactors, considering the future systems and likely higher voltages,

125 MVAR bus reactors would be more effective than having 50-80 MVAR

reactors suggested by some of the utilities. As such the Committee

recommended that two nos of 125 MVAR reactors as spare that can be procured

from the PSDF subject to the technical feasibility of operating 125 MVAR

reactors in 80 MVAR installations when required. In case of the non-feasibility,

one 80 MVAR and one 125 MVAR may be procured.

(iii) The Committee had identified the strategic locations where the spare

transformers and reactors will be kept so as to facilitate with ease the

deployment of the same when required. The locations identified were Jabalpur,

Dehgam, Raipur and Pune in Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh and

Maharashtra States respectively.

(iv) Regarding the spare transformers as the same would not be kept under charged

condition, the Committee suggested that PGCIL shall ensure that the

transformers shall be available whenever required and preventive maintenance

such as oil circulation, as confirmed by the OEM would be followed.

(v) The Committee had recommended that moving trailer mounted types with GIS

bay would facilitate ease of change of location as per system requirement. Hence

the same may be explored for future requirements.

WR Power Committee discussed the proposal recommended by the PSDF committee

as above. The WR Power Committee suggested that all four 315 MVA ICTs of three

phase units may be procured instead of three ICTs of three phase units of 315 MVA and

one ICT of three single phase units in view of fact that provision for spare single phase


26

units exists for installations equipped with single phase units and further that the

majority of existing installations are equipped with three phase units.

2. Proposal for Procurement of ERS Substations:

As suggested by in 14th WRPC meeting to discuss the proposal submitted by

POWERGRID to procure two ERS-substations of 400 kV level through PSDF, the

Committee discussed the issue. It was intimated by POWERGRID that the dimension

for 400/220 kV one single phase 117 MVA transformer of ERS was 15 m x 3 m x 4.8

m and weighed 72.5 tonnes. The Committee members therefore felt that it was difficult

to accommodate the ERS equipment at the existing substations with respect to overall

dimensions of the trailer-equipment and weight wherever the need would arise under

emergency situations.

In view of the above, the Committee had not recommended the procurement of ERS-

substations at 400 kV level in this phase. The Committee had suggested that the

procurement for ERS for lower kV level i.e. 220 kV could, however, be explored by

POWERGRID. The TCC agreed to the recommendation of PSDF group and did not recommend the

procurement of ERS-substations at 400 kV level in this phase. The TCC discussed

and it suggested that the procurement for ERS of lower kV level i.e. 220 kV, 110 kV /

132 kV could, however, be explored by the constituent states. WR Power Committee

endorsed the recommendation of TCC. 3. Proposal for Installation of H.T. Shunt Capacitors: The members indicated that the requirement for installation of shunt capacitors as

worked out by the Study Committee of WR at various locations is for achieving proper

reactive power balance and smooth voltage profile in the grid. It suggested that the

requirement for the year 2010-11 and onwards may be worked out and could be

financed through fund. The Committee for PSDF had discussed and recommended that

financing 20% of the actual cost of the capacitors (on similar lines as proposed in NR)

installed during 2010-11 and onwards may be taken under PSDF.

TCC discussed and agreed to the recommendation of the PSDF Committee as above.

WR Power Committee discussed and agreed to the proposal recommended by the

TCC.

4. Proposals from GETCO: The PSDF committee had discussed the proposals given by GETCO and recommended

following proposals for consideration:

(i) Establishment of on-wheel power transformer testing laboratory.

(ii) Design of monopole tower structure for 66 kV Double circuit line

(iii) Design of monopole tower structure for 220 kV Double circuit line

The above Committee had discussed these proposals and suggested that the same

relate to system improvement facilities viz. establishment of on wheel power transformer

testing laboratory (facilitates improvement in reliability, reduction in failure rate, saving in

huge capital investment due to sudden transformer failures etc.), design of monopole

tower structure for 66 kV Double circuit line and for 220 kV double circuit lines

(facilitates tower design with lower ROW against conventional tower structures,

upgradation of existing line using same available corridor, faster erection due to fewer

requirements and use of lesser floor space) which may be recommended for

procurement under PSDF.

TCC discussed the above proposals. Chairman, TCC /CMD, MPPTCL suggested that

design of monopole D/c tower structure at 132/110 kV level and on-wheel testing

laboratory for EHV grade transformer oil may also be included. The proposal for these

would be submitted by MPPTCL. TCC recommended the proposals submitted by

GETCO as above and agreed to the addition of 132/110 kV monopole D/c tower

structure design for procurement through PSDF. WR Power Committee discussed the

recommendation given by TCC. CMD MPPTCL stated that proposal in respect of

132/110 kV monopole D/c tower structure design and on-wheel testing laboratory for

EHV grade transformer oil shall be submitted by MPPTCL. As the implementation of

132/110 kV monopole D/c tower structure design would be on similar lines as that for


28

GETCO, he requested GETCO to provide necessary details to MPPTCL relating to the

same for needful action. GETCO agreed to the same.

The proposals approved by WRP Committee as above are summarized below:

(i) Four numbers spare transformers of 315 MVA, 3 phase transformers may be procured as spare and may be kept at Jabalpur, Dehgam, Raipur and Pune.

(ii) Two numbers reactors, one 80 MVAR and one 125 MVAR may be procured as spare.

(iii) The procurement for ERS of 400 kV level was not recommended by the WR Power Committee, however the WR Power Committee suggested to explore the possibility for procuring the ERS for 220 kV and 132/110 kV levels. This activity may be undertaken by the constituent states.

(iv) Financing 20% of the actual cost of the capacitors (on similar lines as proposed in NR) installed during 2010-11 and onwards may be taken under PSDF.

(v) Establishment of on wheel power transformer testing laboratory (vi) Design of monopole tower structure for 66 kV Double circuit line (vii) Design of monopole tower structure for 220 kV Double circuit line (viii) Design of monopole tower structure at 132/110 kV Double Circuit line

and on-wheel testing laboratory for EHV grade transformer oil. It was decided that if PSDF fund is not available for activities at (i) & (ii), the procurement should be taken up through normal process. The detailed schemes for the above mentioned WR Power Committee approved proposals shall be prepared by the respective proposing utilities in a specified format for further needful in line with the procedures under CERC (PSDF) Regulations, 2010.

Commercial Committee had noted that bills were revised as per decision taken by the

Committee in 13th WR Power Committee meeting for inclusion of LTOA users of ISTS to

share the inter-regional link transmission charges viz. ER-WR, NR-WR and SR-WR on

proportionate basis as per the CERC Tariff Regulations, 2009. The Commercial

Committee had recommended that till CERC gives decision on above in view of the

petition, the present practice of billing & sharing of transmission charges as per the

above decision taken may be followed. TCC and WR Power Committee noted and

endorsed the same.

12.2 In TCC meeting, it was intimated by MSETCL that monthly wheeling charges

payable to Maharashtra have not been credited by POWERGRID w.e.f. Aug-2009.

POWERGRID intimated that the credit is being passed on to all the constituents as per

the REA details on monthly basis. POWERGRID intimated that the accumulation arising

out on revising the REA is paid immediately upon receiving the same from other paying

utilities. It further intimated that credit could not be passed on to MSETCL due to non-

receipt of the same from GUVNL on account of arrears due for the years 2004-05-2008-

09. However, they have started billing and passing the credit to MSETCL on monthly

basis w.e.f. September 2010 and the previous dues w.e.f. Aug-2009 will be cleared in

During August 2010 to October 2010 period, the maximum unrestricted demand of

Western Region was in range of 33989 MW and 40179 MW, as compared to 37060 MW

and 38739 MW during the same period last year respectively. The region faced capacity

shortage in the range of 3842 MW and 5840 MW (peak deficit of 10.67 % &14.53 %)

during August 2010 & October 2010 respectively. The per day energy requirement

during August 2010 to October 2010 was in the range of 648.33 MUs to 791.55 MUs.

The energy shortage was 49.90 MUs per day to 91.53 MUs per day during the above

period. The details of unrestricted peak demand, demand met and energy requirement

and availability are as furnished at Annexure-14.1 (b).

Overall voltage profile had been satisfactory during the period under review. However,

instances of low and high voltages beyond the IEGC specified operating range were

observed at some of the EHV sub-stations in the region. Minimum voltage of 363 kV &

364 kV was noted on 9th August & 7th August 2010 at 400 kV Bhilai & Gwalior

substation respectively. Higher voltages in the range of 421 kV to 441 kV were noted.

Most of the 400 kV lines had to be remained open continuously to control high voltages

viz SSP-Rajgarh, SSP-Dhule, Khandwa- Rajgarh, ISP-Nagda, Nagda-Dehgam (one ckt

on few occasions), Wardha – Akola I, Raipur – Bhadravati, 765 kV Seoni – Bina had to

be opened to control high voltages. SSP units run in synchronous condenser mode for

216 m/c hrs. in the month of August, 2010. Flow on HVDC, C`pur-Padghe was kept at

minimum possible limit during night off-peak hours to minimize the effect on high

voltage due to filter banks of HVDC station.

Gist of discussion held between CSPTCL, WRPC and WRLDC on the sidelines of the TCC meeting on 11th Nov 2010 at Udaipur.

11th Nov 2010

Two substantive issues emerged in these discussions.

i) Sustained under-injection by an embedded intra state entity which has been granted interstate Short Term Open Access (STOA).

ii) Default in payment of Unscheduled Interchange (UI) charges by intra state

entities to the state UI pool account which has occurred in the past. After discussion, consensus reached as under:

i) The second issue of payment default could be taken up by SLDC with the Appropriate Commission in the first instance so that the payments are recovered. However if an intra-state entity continuously defaults for two weekly cycle, the nodal agency could be requested by the SLDC to cancel the STOA approval granted. This would require an amendment Regulations for which the matter needed to be taken up with CERC as per the view of the Committee.

ii) Regarding the issue of sustained under-injection, it was stated by CSPTCL

that this was a one-off problem encountered in the past. It was agreed that such under-injection was not inconsistent with any of the current Regulations due to which practice could continue indefinitely. Further such under-injection by very small generator did not cause any network problem due to which the SLDC could not take any actions on real time basis.

Considering that more such cases might be encountered in future which has a long term potential to threaten grid security and/or distort the electricity market (which is essentially a physical delivery market), it was decided that SLDC Chhattisgarh would monitor such instances of under-injection and document the same. Such intra state entities could be issued a notice by the SLDC asking them to explain this behaviour and correct the same. Failure to do so could entail the SLDC canceling the standing clearance given to such intra state entities for STOA/Power Exchange. This would however require an amendment in the CERC Regulations on Open Access for which the committee felt that the matter needed to be taken up with CERC.
