URTDSM/SCADA/Communication Meeting – 21.10.2016 Page 3

o M/S Alstom stated that they would able to complete the project

by March 2017. PGCIL / Alstom agreed to furnish the project

execution progress within a week.

With regard to PGCIL’s request for review & re-confirmation of items

envisaged in the site survey for each location with due consideration to

space constraints etc, the following was noted:

o PGCIL informed that they had received requirement of UPS from

M/s GE vide letter dated 14.10.2016 (Annexure-II). It was noted

that Power requirement at RLDC was 18 (2 x 9 Main and Standby)

KVA while at SLDC, it was 6 (2 x 3 Main and Standby) KVA. UPS

was coming in configuration of 40/60 KVA including all the

components. They had communicated the UPS details (drawing

etc) to SRLDC. It was noted that the approved drawings of UPS

would be forwarded to APTRANSCO, TSTRANSCO and

TANTRANSCO. APTRANSCO, TSTRANSCO and TANTRANSCO were

requested to revert back within a week. SRLDC agreed to confirm

on the UPS requirement after studying the drawings provided and

taking into consideration the space availability at site within a

week.

o SRLDC requested SR-II to explore the possibility of supplying UPS

system excluding input and output ACDB so that on-site space

constraints could be mitigated. SR-II agreed to revert back within

a week’s time.

o KSEBL confirmed that the power supply could be availed from the

existing new Delta UPS (40 KVA + 40 KVA) installed for SCADA

system considering the power requirement was below 10 KVA and

suggestion from PGCIL to use this spare capacity.

o On KSEBL’s query, PGCIL confirmed that there was no DC load

requirement. PGCIL also confirmed that the cabling, power

supply, LAN etc (from UPS/ACDB to PDC – three floors) was under

the scope of M/s Alstom.

o KSEBL requested for the details and drawings for the PDCs for

SLDC, Kalamassery to re-assess the space requirement. PGCIL

agreed to furnish the same.

URTDSM/SCADA/Communication Meeting – 21.10.2016 Page 4

o SRLDC confirmed space availability for eight numbers of Server

Racks at SRLDC.

Regarding redundancy for PMUs, PGCIL confirmed that all PMUs were

provided with redundant communication paths. Detailed

communication flow would be shared with SRLDC & SLDC before

commencement of SAT of Control Centres.

In the earlier Meeting, it had been felt that it was essential that visibility

/ data of at least entire state details be made available to the SLDC

irrespective of state owned / IPPs / ISGS / ISTS. PGCIL informed that the

original DPR had not envisaged such an arrangement. However, this

feedback would be considered in Phase-II of the project.

In the earlier Meeting, it was noted that C37 – 118 protocol used in this

project also supports bi-directional data flow. It is very much essential to

have bi-directional data flow between SLDC & RLDC control centres so

that entire regional data is available to all the SLDCs for study as well as

other support. In the Meeting, PGCIL informed that this was more of an

operational issue between POSOCO and the State Constituents.

Technically any PDC could communicate with upstream or downstream

PDCs on IEEE C37-118 protocol. However, approved engineering design

of RLDC/SLDC PDCs did not envisage reporting of entire regional data in

SLDC PDC ie entire region data shall be available only to respective RLDC

PDC while State PDC would get data from State Sector PMUs only. After

deliberations, it was noted that SRLDC and State SLDCs could mutually

coordinate and extend the requisite requirements keeping in view the

Phase-II plans and also subject to technical feasibility and clearance by

appropriate authority.

It was noted that SAT of WR was being taken up and the feedback would

be incorporated in the FAT of SR. The draft SAT procedure would be

circulated. Training would be provided to all constituents & SRLDC on

PMUs & Control Centre HW / SW training on SAT procedure before

commencement of SAT. SAT in SR was planned during January 2017.

SAT at SRLDC would be witnessed by LD&C representative along with

participants of constituents. Subsequently, individual constituent could

take-up SAT independently in their locations. SRLDC pointed out that

URTDSM/SCADA/Communication Meeting – 21.10.2016 Page 5

the SAT should be point to point ie from each PMU/Control Centre to

SRLDC. PGCIL confirmed the same.

In the earlier Meeting, it had been highlighted that Training on

Applications part also was very much essential. PGCIL informed that

Analytical Apps were not part of Package-I&II awarded to M/s GE and

were being developed by Academic Institute. There was no formal

training envisaged in the MOU with IIT, Mumbai. Constituents / SRLDC /

SRPC expressed that training under Analytical Apps was essential to

utilise the advantages of the PMUs in real time operation / decision

making/protection etc.

It was noted that coordination issues were more or less getting sorted

out. In the earlier deliberations, it was noted, ‘it was agreed that PGCIL

would intimate to constituents a week in advance regarding despatch

of equipment and commissioning activities at their respective sites. The

contractor was also strictly advised to adhere to the visit schedule and

communicate in advance to the respective site co-ordinator / nodal

officer, in case of any slippage / change in schedule’. The constituents

were also requested to assist and get all the issues resolved.

PGCIL informed that Built Drawings (including changes done in the

CT/PT/Status wiring etc) would be furnished after the project SAT is

completed.

Regarding CT/PT points extension at NTPC Kayamkulam, KSEBL

informed that the details had been discussed with NTPC, Kayamkulam

Officials and the matter was being followed up at higher level. The issue

would be resolved by October 2016 end and integration would be

possible.

In the earlier Meeting, PGCIL had expressed that constraints were faced

in AP system at locations such as Vemagiri, etc. In response, AP

representative had mentioned that there also certain difficulties

involving metering / commercial issues of DISCOMs. However, the

matter would be appraised to senior level of respective departments

and facilitated for integration / completion of work at the earliest. In the

Meeting, PGCIL informed that APTRANSCO vide their email dated

20.10.2016 had raised certain issues. PGCIL informed that the issues

URTDSM/SCADA/Communication Meeting – 21.10.2016 Page 6

raised by APTRANSCO had been discussed and the same would be

settled. Issues at Vemagiri, Chittoor, GMR were interlinked and once the

Vemagiri issues get resolved, other issues would similarly get resolved.

MS, SRPC requested DGM, URTDSM, SR-II to coordinate with

APTRANSCO in the amicable manner to resolve long pending issues to

facilitate faster project execution at APTRANSCO sites.

TSTRANSCO stated that the re-survey works at Srisailam could be taken

up with prior information. PGCIL / Alstom agreed to take up the works at

the earliest.

It was noted that M/s Alstom and PGCIL representatives would certify

completion of the commissioning activity at each site.

Regarding spares, PGCIL informed that increase in spare quantity was

not feasible under URTDSM project. Spares would be kept at strategic

locations and details would be shared after the project moves into AMC.

Supply of spares was in the scope of the contractor as and when the

need arises.

PGCIL confirmed that obsolete SEM panel had been removed at NLC

Stage – II for erection of PMU panel.

It was noted that cable for Kalamassery S/S to SLDC (control Centre) was

available at store of M/s Alstom at Kalamassery. There were some

issues in laying the cable in the trench as it was not accessible. KSEBL

reported that the survey for laying cable had been completed again to

re-assess the viability and it would rectify blocks, if any in the trench.

PGCIL pointed out that all constituents need to provide necessary

communication ports for connection of server equipment under

URTDSM project. Necessary ports needed to be identified, tested and

kept ready to avoid last minute surprises.

KSEBL informed that there was no SFPs-Gig port supplied along with

PMU items and the same was to be supplied. PGCIL confirmed that it

was required to free-up the Gig port for PMU communication.

On a query by KSEBL on metering core selected for PMU, PGCIL stated

that the performance would be analysed for operational accuracy once

it becomes functional.
