HPGC signs Power Purchase Agreements with PTC- D. V. Sharma

Under its long term plan to arrange maximum power

for the people of the State, the Haryana Power

Generation Corporation (HPGC) on September 21 last

signed four new power purchase agreements with the

Power Trading Corporation of India (PTC) for purchasing

power to the tune of 770 MW from the projects to be set

up in northern, western and north-east regions. Mr J.C.

Kinra, Director on behalf of HPGC and Mr Rajiv

Bhardwaj, Senior Vice President, on behalf of PTC

signed the agreements in the presence of Mr R. N.

Prasher, FC&PS (Power), Haryana and other senior

officers of Haryana Power Utilities.

These arrangements are 70 MW from Budhil hydro-

electric project, 200 MW from 1000 MW Karcham

Wangtoo, hydro-electric project both located in Himachal

Pradesh, 300 MW from Amarkantak thermal power

project in Chhattisgarh and 200 MW from 1200 MW

Teesta Stage-III hydro-electric project in Sikkim. The

power from these projects will be available from 2008

onwards and the total capacity will be available by 2011.

Earlier, the State alongwith Delhi had also singed a

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with NTPC for

setting up and operation of a 1500 MW Thermal Power

Plant to be constructed in Jhajjar district. NTPC shall

have 51 percent Equity in this project and they will

construct and run this project. The power from this

project will be shared equally by both the states. The

power from this project will be available by 2010.

Talking to media persons after signing of Power

Purchase Agreements (PPAs) Mr R.N. Prasher, FC&PS

(Power) stated that the interlinking of Eastern Grid with

Northern Grid had considerably reduced the rate of

overdrawal of every unit of electricity and has increased

the frequency of the entire Northern Grid.

Giving details, Mr Prasher said that the State had

overdrawn as many as 67 lac units of electricity on

September 19, 2006 for which the State paid

Rs. 2.52 per unit. Earlier, for this much of overdrawal the

State had to pay Rs. 4.50 for every unit. Thus the State

has been able to save more than Rs. 1.00 crore in a single

day.

He said that the Utilities had been making all

possible efforts to cater the demand of tubewell

consumers. Despite scanty rains the State had achieved

the record of paddy production last year. This year also

much more power had been supplied to the tubewell

consumers. As many as 769 lac units of electricity were

supplied Sept. 20 as compared to the corresponding day

of last year. That was 38.47 percent extra as compared to

last year's September 20.

Referring to the construction of Yamuna Nagar

Thermal Power Station, Mr Prasher stated that the

State was going to achieve a national record by setting

up the first unit within 27 months after award of work.

Similarly, the second unit would also be commissioned

within 30 months period.

While discussing the revenue realization of the

Haryana Power Distribution Corporations, he said that

there has been an increase of 15 percent during the

current year. The State had supplied 7 to 8 percent extra

electricity to the consumers this year. The credit of

higher revenue realization goes to the efforts made by

the distribution corporations.

He said that the signing of PPAs by the HPGC and

PTC is a historic event in the history of electricity of the

State. The State had never signed four PPAs in a single

day. The PPAs had been signed in view of increasing

demand of electricity in the State. The rates of every unit

would be comparable to our own generation from

Yamuna Nagar Thermal Plant. The rates of Amar

Kantak Project and Budhil Project would be Rs. 2.32 and

Rs. 2.21 per unit respectively at generation end.

However, the cost of transmission would be extra. The

tariff will be levelised for the next 25 to 35 years. The

Central Electricity Regulatory Commission would

determine the tariff of Karcham Wangtoo and Teesta

Projects.

Mr Prasher also said that there has been shortage of

power due to non-availability of electricity from Dehar

Project and less availability of gas for Faridabad Project.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr P.K. Das, Managing

Director, Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam said that the

State had made a tremendous effort to strengthen the

transmission system availability. It was brought to the

level of 99.75 percent during the month of August. The

State has ensured availability of electricity from almost

all of the central sector projects to be set up throughout

the country. Efforts have also been made to purchase

power through short-term purchases, making bilateral

arrangements and setting up own thermal power stations.

Mr Sudhir Raj Pal, Managing Director, Uttar

Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam said that the distribution

corporations had given highest priority to the customer

satisfaction. There had been 30 percent less power

breakdowns during the last six months as compared to

last year.

In order to provide better services to the consumers,

the Utilities are in the process of introducing internet

based payment mechanism of electricity bills. The

percentage of technical and commercial losses has been

brought down by four percent during the current year.

The efforts are on to reduce line losses and achieve the

target level fixed by the government by the end of

current year.

The Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam has

decided to convert all existing Bulk Supply Connections

having load of 71 KW and above into HT pressure of

supply. A period of six months has been given to the

consumers for changing over the supply from LT to HT

by making their own arrangement for the transformer

and allied, switchgear. In case, a consumer fails to

comply with the above instructions within the stipulated

period, his supply will be disconnected.

Bulk Supply Connections of 71 K.W. to be HT.

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM INFRASTRUCTURE OF FARIDABAD

The transmission system

infrastructure of Faridabad is

backed mainly by power from

430 MW NTPC's Faridabad Gas

Based Power Plant (FGPP), 3 55

M W H P G C L ' s F a r i d a b a d

Northern Power Station besides

this, it is a integral part of

synchronized power system of

resources contributor to the

power requirement of Faridabad

Transmission System.

The Faridabad Transmission system network

consists of 220KV ring main system which is

supported by 66KV inner ring main. The ring main

systems ensure stability, reliability & availability of

power system. All the 220KV S/Stns. and 66KV S/Stns.

are parts of the ring mains.

The 1392 MW Power demand of 3.91 Lac

consumers is being met with by feeding around 80 to

90 lac units per day at the remarkable system

availability of 99.65%. The vital components of

transmission system are one 400 KV sub station, 3 no.

220 KV s/stns., 34 nos. 66 KV s/stns. and 4 nos. 33 KV

s/stns.

These power stations are fed from HVPNL's seven

220 KV ckts of having length of 194.22 Km. and

seventy two 66KV Ckts of 509. 77 Km. length. The

power is evacuated through 359 nos 11 KV feeders for

distribution to its consumers.

The present transmission system ensures

adequate and round the clock power availability to the

consumers of Faridabad but over loading of NREB

Grid and low power frequency are major constraints

which some times are responsible for some

unscheduled power cuts and interruption in power

supply besides local transmission network over

loading and over loading of power transformers on few

sub stations.

So as to make the transmission system of

Faridabad more reliable, addition of new 66kv S/Stns.

and up-gradation & augmentation of existing capacity

of sub stations are in process. One 66 KV S/Stn. at

Bhopani has recently added to give adequate

relief to the power system of local area. Besides this,

addition of one 16MVA T/F at Sector-31 and Oswal

steel has adequately strengthened the transmission

system of Faridabad. Further up-gradation of existing

33kv S/Stn. Escort-I to 66kv S/Stn. and providing

additional 16MVA T/F at 66KV S/Stn. Ford & Oswal

will improve the quality and availability of power. The

addition of 66kv Pali–NH-3 line has also added to the

reliability and more availability of power in the power

system of Faridabad.

On the ongoing works front, the up-gradation of

33KV S/stn. Punhana, 33KV S/stn. Fatehpur Biloch,

33KV S/Stn. Escort-I to 66KV level are at advance

stage. Addition of one 220/66 KV, 100 MVA T/F at 220

KV substation Pali will bring qualitative and

quantitative change on the power scene of Faridabad.

Whereas the work on 66KV Palwal-Aurangabad line,

Loopin-Loopout 66 KV Ballabgarh-Palwal line 66KV

S/Stn. Bhagola and 66KV S/C Hodal-Punhana line is

also on advance stage of completion. Moreover, a 66KV

S/C Hathin-Punhana line has also been proposed to be

constructed to create 66 KV Ring main system at

Palwal to ensure uninterrupted Power supply to the

consumers of Faridabad district.

The new works undertaken to bring significant

improvement in the power system include construction

of 66KV D/C A-3 A-5 line, creation of new S/Stn. at

Sector-64 Faridabad besides the augmentation and

addition of capacity of T/F at 66KV S/Stn. Jharsetly,

Dhauj, Palla, USA & Oswal steel.

The transmission network of the Faridabad

transmission system is 22-30 years old. It requires up-

gradation and replacement. The positive steps towards

the improvement, up-gradation and replacement of the

same are being undertaken to provide uninterrupted

power supply to the consumers of Faridabad.

F. C. Reviews Operations Activitie

RGGVY in Uttar Haryan

Reports from D. V. Sharma, CPRO, UHBVN

Mr R. N. Prasher, Financial Commissioner &

Principal Secretary (Power) directed the senior officers

of the Haryana Power Utilities to launch a

disconnection campaign from October 03 against those

defaulting tubewell consumers who failed to make

regular payment of their pending bills after joining

the Electricity Bills Arrear Waiver Scheme or who did

not join the scheme.

While reviewing the Operational activities of the

Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam, he said that the

service cable and the distribution transformers of such

erring consumers be removed within a week's time.

He further stated that the Government has

already liberalized the mode of making payment of the

bills under this scheme. Though, the number of those

tubewell consumers, who did not join the scheme or

failed in making regular payment had been small, the

Power Distribution Corporations would not supply

electricity and ensure disconnections. However, the

defaulting tubewell consumers, may deposit the

payment of their pending bills within a fortnight to

avoid disconnection.

In order to minimize damage rate of distribution

transformers, the Utilities would ensure proper

earthing within the next six months. While

appreciating the efforts made by the Uttar Haryana

Bijli Vitran Nigam (UHBVN) in bringing down the

cases of power breakdowns, Mr Prasher also said to

provide spacers on all low-tension lines by March

2007.

While reviewing the remittance into bank of the

current year, he specifically emphasized the need of

self-sufficiency at operation circle level and make

them financially sustainable by June 2007 by making

all possible efforts.

He also directed the officers to ensure that no new

connection is released at the defaulting premises in

urban areas and replace old wires / lines with Aerial

Bunch Cable (ABC) in slum areas.

Giving details of the works to strengthen the

distribution system, Mr Sudhir Raj Pal, Managing

Director, UHBVN said that while the Nigam had

placed work orders worth Rs. 60 crore during the last

financial year, with a view to ensure better power

supply and service to the consumers, the work orders

worth Rs. 289 crore have already been placed during

current year. There is a target of Rs. 380 crore for the

year.

Similarly, the Nigam has planned to set up 40 new

33KV substations in its command area to cater the

requirement of consumers.

Mr O. S. Lohchab, Chairman, Haryana Power

Ut i l i t i e s , D i rec to rs , Ch ie f Eng ineers and

Superintending Engineers were also present.

The Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam has

planned to carry out various development works to

streamline the existing power distribution system in

Ambala, Kurukshetra, Yamuna Nagar, Kaithal, Jind

and Jhajjar districts. The works would be completed

under the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojna.

The bids are being invited to erect 1166 km long

new 11 KV lines and 657 KM low-tension lines. In

order to release new connections and minimize

overloading of distribution transformers, as many as

2539 new distribution transformers will be installed in

rural areas. The Nigam also release 60, 336 new

domestic connections to the people living below

poverty line.

The Nigam also ensure installation of meters

on all distribution transformers for proper accountal

of energy supplied to the consumers.

These include erection of 260 km long 11 KV lines

and 130 KM low tension lines, installation of 433

distribution transformers and DT meters and release

of 8777 connections to people living below poverty line

in the villages of Ambala district. Similarly, 176 KM

long LT lines 71 KM low tension lines, installation of

355 distribution transformers and DT meters and

release of 6898 connections to people living below

poverty line in the villages of Kurukshetra district.

The Nigam has invited bids for erection of 377 KM

long 11KV lines, 191 KM low-tension lines,

installation of 632 distribution transformers and DT

meters and release of 1869 connections to people

living below poverty line in the villages of Yamuna

Nagar district. Similarly, 80 KM long LT lines 48 KM

low-tension lines, installation of 447 distribution

transformers and DT meters and release of 31146

connections to people living below poverty line in the

villages of Jind district.

Erection of 123 KM and 150 KM long 11 KV lines,

99 KM and 120 KM low-tension lines, installation of

246 and 426 distribution transformers with meters

and release of 4452 and 7194 new connections

respectively would ensure better power distribution

system in districts Jhajjar and Kaithal.

illness. Due to this, he will NOT be able to

work more than 7 hours a day and 5 days a

week. Any attempt to stretch beyond this

timing will lead to severe health problems.

The losses to the company due to medical

It is also warned to keep my patient

away from any kind of shocking news such

which can directly lead to heart strokes.

In view of the above, it is strongly

ARE YOU YOUNG AT HEART?

World Heart Day-24th Sept.

You may have a smooth unwrinkled skin but do you have

that spring in your step that carries you easily up a flight of

stairs? If you don't, then you may be young in years, but not in

your heart. “The process of blockage of arteries starts at birth,

but the speed at which happens depends a great deal on our

energy expenditure, besides the genes and diet,” says Dr

Shantesh Kaushik, cardio thoracic and vascular surgeon.

Two major aspects determine the age of the heart: the

health of the heart muscle. If you don't move, your heart

muscles become flabby. And arteries start getting blocked. You

could have aged. Such a heart won't pump sufficient blood and

through it, life-giving oxygen. Everything will be fine until one

day your heart can't take the load anymore.

Dr. A.V. Ganesh Kumar, chief interventional cardiologist,

Hiranandani Hospital says, “The heart has to pump more

blood during exertion or some emotional upset, and this can

cause a heart attack.” There may be no warning signs before

this, as arteries get blocked gradually. 'If the patient has

breathlessness and fatigue, these are signs that its already

late, that the blockage has progressed to an advanced stage,'

says Dr Kaushik.

Lower blockages are common amongst

younger people who have heart attacks.

"Studies show that Indians living

abroad suffer from a greater incidence of

heart disease than the local population"

says, Dr Ganesh Kumar. He feels that lack

of exercise could be a factor, as also our fried

food. "There are also indications that our

arteries are narrower," he adds, although

more research is being done in this area.

However there is no doubt that there is

something in the genetic make-up of Indians

that make them prone to heart diseased

Kaushik believes that 'a shortage of food in

the past has genetically programmed

Indians to store fat more efficiently than

other races.'

The patient who survives a heart

attack in time to reach the hospital and gets

quick intervention is lucky, because effective treatment needs

to be given within three-six hours. “Otherwise the heart tissue

can be damaged permanently,” says Dr Ganesh Kumar.

Damaged heart tissue means a restricted life, akin to living

like an old person.

So worry less about that line on your forehead that tells

you that 30 is just round the corner, and worry a lot if your

body suggests that your heart has touched 40, or maybe 50.

You might be able to fix that wrinkle, but fixing a heart means

undergoing procedures like angioplasty, by-pass surgery or

even an organ transplant. If you're lucky.

PATCHES of atheroma (atherosclerosis) are like small

fatty lumps that develop within the inside of arteries (blood

vessels). Atheroma is also known is also known as

'atherosclerosis' and 'hardening of the arteries'. Patches of

atheroma are often called 'plaques' of atheroma. A patch of

atheroma makes an artery narrower, which can reduce the

blood flow through the artery.

Sometimes a patch of atheroma may develop a tiny 'crack'

or 'rupture' on the inside surface of the blood vessel. This may

trigger a blood clot (thrombosis) to form over the patch of

atheroma, which may completely block the blood flow.

Depending on the artery affected, a blood clot that forms over

a patch of atheroma can cause a heart attack, a stroke, or

other serious problems.

Following 'risk factors' increase the risk:

Lifestyle risk factors that can be prevented or changed:

smoking; lack of physical activity, obesity, an unhealthy

diet and excess alcohol.

a strong

family history. An early menopause in women. Certain

ethnic groups are prone to this and with the age you

become more prone to atheroma.

However, fixed risked factors can be kept at bay with

extra physical activity by picking up a 30-minutes/day-

exercise routine. Start with moderate physical activity and

move on to brisk walking, swilling, cycling, etc.

On average, if you are obese and reduce your

weight by 10%, your chance of dying at any given

age is reduced by 20%. The increased health risk

of obesity is most marked when the excess fat is

mainly in abdomen rather than of the hips

and thighs. As a rule, a waist measurement

of 102 cm or above for men (92 cm for Asian

men) and 88 cm for women (78 cm for Asian

women) is a health risk.

Eating healthy helps to control obesity,

and lower your cholesterol level. Both of

these help to reduce your risk to your

health. Briefly, a health means:

A t least five portions, ideally 7-9, of a variety of

fruit, vegetable per day.

The bulk of most meals should be starch-based foods

pulse fruit and vegetables.

Say no to cheeses, full cream milk, fried food, butter, etc.

Include 2-3 portions of fish per week. At least one of which

should be 'oily'.

If you eat meat it is best tom eat lean meat, or poultry

such as chicken.

If you do fry, choose a vegetable oil such as sunflower,

rapeseed or olive oil.

Try not to add salt to food, limit foods that are salty such

as processed foods.

When in doubt contact your doctor or go immediately to

the emergency room of the nearest hospital, even if symptoms

last only a few minutes. Half of all heart attack death occurs

within three to fours hours of the onset of the attack, so a

person suffering from a heart attack requires immediate

medical attention.

Build up of atheroma, a fatty deposit within the inside

lining of arteries, leads to cardiovascular disease.

Treatable or partly treatable risk factors are: Hypertension,

High cholesterol blood level, high triglyceride (fat) blood

level, Diabetes and kidney diseases causing diminished

kidney causing diminished kidney function.

Fixed risk factors-ones that you cannot alter are:

Under an ambitious plan to ensure maximum power

supply to the consumers the State Government will add 7676

MW to the existing capacity during the 11th plan. About 4000

MW will be added during the next three years period.

It was disclosed by Mr. Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Chief

Minister, Haryana on September 26 after laying foundation

stone of 33 KV substation, Lohchab to be constructed at a cost

of about Rs. 1.78 Crore. He said the Government had given

top priority to the power

sector.

H e s a i d t h a t t h e

Government had directed

the power Uti l i tes to

ensured availability of

electricity from almost all of

the central sector projects to

be set up throughout the country. Efforts have also been made

to purchase power through short-term purchases, making

bilateral arrangements and setting up own thermal power

stations.

In order to further strengthen the generation,

transmission and distribution systems in the State, a sum of

Rs. 2924 crore has been earmarked for the current financial

year. A sum of Rs. 1736 crore would be spent for generation

sector and Rs. 683 crore Rs. 235 crores and Rs. 270 crore have

been earmarked for the Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam, the

Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam and the Dakshin Haryana

Bijli Vitran Nigam respectively.

Referring to the development works to be carried out in

Jind district, Mr. Hooda said that the power Utility would

construct 132 KV Substation at Alewa, 33KV substation
