BACKGROUND:-
ECC Virginia Consultants, appointed by Govt. of India
and Asian Development Bank to study BulkPower andTransmission Tariff and Regulationrecommended for a
shift from PLF to availability based scenarioin order to
improve discipline in Power Sector in the year 1994.
CERC (Central Electricity Regulatory Commission) was
constituted through Indian Electricity Regulatory Act
1998.
CERC issued order for implementation of ABT w.e.f.1.4.2000 in Northern Region (NR) and accordingly
issued the ABT order dtd. 4.1.2000. Implementation of
ABT got delayed due to various petitions by constituents.

THE 128THNREB BOARD MEETING ON 16.09.02
DECIDED TO IMPLEMENT ABT IN NR W.E.F.01.12.02 WITH FULL COMMERCIAL
MECHANISM.
THE SCHEDULING OF NCR STATIONS HAD
BEEN DONE AS PER ABT PROVISION SINCE
01.08.01 WITHOUT COMMERCIAL MECHANISM.
REAL TIME SCHEDULING ACTIVITY WAS
ALREADY TAKEN OVER BY RCC (REGIONAL
CONTROL CENTRE) FROM 11.11.02.

What is Availability?
The readiness of the generating station to deliver
Ex-Bus output.
It is different from the earlier terminology which
includes only the status whether in service(100%) or out of service (0%).
The term availability in the present context
could be defined as the MW capability of thegenerator for supplying to the grid after
accounting for planned and unplanned outages,
auxiliary consumption and deration due to non-
availability of auxiliaries, fuel, water etc.

Scheduling Methodology
Each day starting from 00:00 hr. will be divided into 96 timeblocks of 15-minute intervals.
The generator will make an advance declaration of
capability of its generating station.
The declaration will be for the capability of the generating
station to deliver ex-bus MWh for each time block of the
day. The DC, as declared by generator, would form the
basis of generation scheduling.
8/10/2019 Availabilty Based Generation Tariff
16/51
While making or revising their DC, the generator shall
ensure that their DC during peak hours is not less thanthat during other hours. However, exception to this rule
shall be allowed in case of tripping/re-synchronisation of
units as a result of forced outage of units.
Based on the declaration of the generator, RLDC shall
communicate their shares to beneficiaries out of which
they shall give their requisitions.
8/10/2019 Availabilty Based Generation Tariff
17/51
Based on the requisitions given by beneficiaries and taking
into account technical limitations on varying the generation
and also taking into account the transmission system
constraints, if any; RLDC shall prepare the economically
optimal generation schedule and drawal schedule and
communicate the same to generator and beneficiaries.
RLDC shall also formulate the procedure for meeting
contingencies both in the long run and in the short run.
All the scheduled generation and actual generation shall be
at the generatorsex-bus. For beneficiaries, the scheduled
and actual net drawals shall be at their respective receiving
points.
For calculating the net drawal schedules of beneficiaries,
the transmission losses shall be apportioned to their
drawals.
8/10/2019 Availabilty Based Generation Tariff
18/51
Scheduled generation (SG) of the generating station for
each time block will mean the Scheduled MWh to be Sent
Out ex-bus from the generating station.
Actual generation of the station for each time block,
hereinafter referred to as AG, will mean Actual MWh Sent
Out ex-bus from the generating station.
In case of forced outage of a unit, RLDC will revise the SG
on the basis of revised DC. The revised SG will become
effective from the 4th time block, counting the time block in
which the revision is advised by the generator to be thefirst one. The revised DC will also become effective from
the 4th time bock.
8/10/2019 Availabilty Based Generation Tariff
19/51
In the event of bottleneck in evacuation of power due to
any constraint, outage, failure or limitation in thetransmission system, associated switchyard and
substat ions owned by CTU (as certified by RLDC)
necessitating reduction in generation; RLDC will revise the
schedules which will become effective from the 4th time
block, counting the time block in which the bottleneck inevacuation of power has taken place to be the first one.
Also; during the first, second and third time blocks of such
an event, the SG of the station will be deemed to have been
revised to be equal to AG and also the scheduled drawalsof beneficiaries will be deemed to have been revised to be
equal to their actual drawals.
8/10/2019 Availabilty Based Generation Tariff
20/51
In case of any Grid Disturbance, SG of all Generating
Stations and Scheduled Drawal of all beneficiaries shall be
deemed to have been revised to be equal to theirAG/Drawal for all time blocks affected by the Grid
Disturbance. Certification of Grid Disturbance and its
duration shall be done by RLDC.
Revision of DC by generator(s) and requisition by
beneficiary(ies) for the remaining period of the day will also
be permitted with advance notice. Revised SG/DC 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.
8/10/2019 Availabilty Based Generation Tariff
21/51
If, at any point of time, RLDC observes that there is need
for revision of schedules in the interest of better system
operation, it may do so on its own and in such cases, therevised 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.
Generation schedules and drawal schedules
issued/revised by RLDC shall become effective from
designated time block irrespective of communication
success.
For any revision of SG, including post facto deemed
revision, there shall be a corresponding revision of
scheduled drawals of beneficiaries.
8/10/2019 Availabilty Based Generation Tariff
22/51
A procedure for recording the communication regarding
changes to schedules duly taking into account the timefactor shall be evolved by CTU.
In case of a generat ing s tat ion, contract ing to supp ly
power only to the State in which i t is located; the
schedul ing , meter ing and energy account ing shal l be
carr ied out by the respective State Load Despatch
Centre.
8/10/2019 Availabilty Based Generation Tariff
23/51
(i) Any generation up to 105% of DC in any 15-minute time
block and averaging up to 101% of the average DC over a
day shall not be construed as gaming, and the generator
shall be entitled to UI charges for such excess generationabove SG.
(ii) For any generation beyond the prescribed limit, theRegional Load Despatch Centre (RLDC) shall investigate
so as to ensure that there is no gaming, and if gaming is
found by the RLDC, the corresponding UI charges due to
the generating station on account of such extra
generation shall be reduced to zero and the amount shall
be adjusted in UI account of beneficiaries in the ratio of
their capacity share in the generating station.
8/10/2019 Availabilty Based Generation Tariff
24/51
Demonstration of DC:
The generating company may be required to demonstrate
the DC of its generating station as and when asked by the
RLDC of the region in which the generating station issituated. In the event of the generating company failing to
demonstrate the DC, the capacity charges due to the
generator shall be reduced as a measure of penalty.
The quantum of penalty for the first mis-declaration for any
duration/block in a day shall be the charges correspondingto two days fixed charges. For the second mis-declaration
the penalty shall be equivalent to fixed charges for four
days and for subsequent mis-declarations, the penalty
shall be multiplied in the geometrical progression.The operating log books of the generating station shall be
available for review by the Regional Electricity Board.
These books shall keep record of machine operation and
maintenance.

Availability'in relation to a thermal generating station for any period means
the average of the daily average Declared Capacities (DC) for all the days
during that period expressed as a percentage of the installed capacity of the
generating station minus normative auxiliary consumption in MW, and shall
be computed in accordance with the following formula:
N
Availability = 10000 x DCi/ {N x IC x (100-AUXn)} %
i=1
where
IC = Installed Capacity of the generating station in MW,
DCi= Average Declared Capacity for the ith day of the period in MW,
N = Number of days during the period, and
AUXn= Normative Auxiliary Energy Consumption as a percentage of grossgeneration
Declared Capacityor DC' means the capability of the generating station to deliver
ex-bus electricity in MW declared by such generating station in relation to any period
of the day or whole of the day, duly taking into account the availability of fuel.
