During 28th WRPC/TCC, it was recommended to convert the above fixed line
reactors as switchable reactors without any system study.
TCC: During TCC, PGCIL representative stated that they anticipated dynamic
overvoltage problems and therefore referred the matter to the Standing
Committee on PSP. However it could not be taken in the recent SCM. TCC
discussed the issue but it was difficult to comprehend the need for dynamic
overvoltage studies as only a switching breaker is introduced. PGCIL
representative pointed out that providing breakers would require SCM
recommendation for investment approval. MS WRPC pointed out that in that
case PGCIL may take SCM approval and put up in the WRPC meeting and
28th WRPC approval to go ahead without studies may be cancelled.
WRPC: Director(O),PGCIL proposed that PGCIL may go ahead with the
proposal based on the 28th WRPC approval and get a ratification from the next
SCM and inform the same in the next WRPC meeting after SCM approval.
WRPC agreed to suggestion of PGCIL.

2.2 Extension on 220 kV Network at GIS Navi Mumbai station
Background: During 28th WRPC/TCC meeting, Member Secretary WRPC
informed that POWERGRID had communicated that 400 kV GIS at Navi
Mumbai is likely to be commissioned by the end of May, 2015, as the cable
laying works are in full swing and shall be completed before March 15. Further
they requested MSETCL to extend 220 kV grid from Navi Mumbai GIS station
to their load centers.
Accordingly MSETCL was requested to indicate the progress for installation of
220 kV line from GIS Navi Mumbai.
During TCC Director, MSETCL enquired about the status of the incoming
source of 400 kV Vapi-Navi Mumbai at Navi Mumbai station. It was informed
by GM – PGCIL(HO) that 400 kV Vapi-Navi Mumbai line is not coming, and
this was already reported at Standing Committee meetings. With the line not
coming to Navi Mumbai, Director MSETCL informed that the substation was
not beneficial to Maharashtra system, as there is no source of input power to
Maharashtra grid. Hence laying 220 kV network from MSETCL system to Navi
Mumbai would only mean unnecessary congestion in Maharashtra system and
only charging of substation at Navi Mumbai.
Further with respect to LILO of 400 kV Lonikhand-Kalwa MSETCL line at Navi
Mumbai. ED-WR1, PGCIL informed that the cable work is in advanced stages
of completion, and the same would be ready by May end along with the
substation.
Director, MSETCL requested for relocation of the asset of GIS Navi Mumbai to
more useful place for better utilization of the same as the existing asset is not
serving any useful purpose to Maharashtra system. GM – PGCIL(HO)
informed that these projects have been executed after due approvals from
competent authorities. Further progress and problems faced have been
reported at SCM. At this stage it is not possible for them to consider any
relocation of asset.
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 9
During the 28th WRPC Meeting, Executive Director, MSETCL explained
Maharashtra’s position with respect to relocation of asset, as already given
above, and requested to take the matter to CEA before taking a decision.
AGM-PGCIL(HO) explained that the non availability of 400 kV Vapi-Navi
Mumbai was informed to SCM. However at that time Navi Mumbai was not
discussed for relocation. A decision to relocate Navi Mumbai could have been
taken at that time itself, in that case, before award of any contract. However
since the project has since been in advance stage of completion, at this stage
it was not acceptable to relocate.
She pointed out that relocation of an asset is much more costly than
establishing a new asset. There are experiences of Sasaram HVDC being
thought of relocation but that was not feasible and given up. However it may be
beneficial to replan the network in that area, so that the asset can be utilized.
Hence the substation should be allowed to be charged.
Regarding the issue of charging of the substation, Director, MSETCL stated
that since the asset is not beneficial at all, charging would unnecessary
commercially burden the Maharashtra consumer with no benefits. This could
not be permitted. If however there is benefit after re planning, the issue of
charging can be thought of. Hence matter requires discussion with CEA.
AGM-PGCIL(HO) explained that non charging of PGCIL asset, when it has
been created after due approvals cannot be acceptable to PGCIL. PGCIL
requested that the station be allowed to charge. But this was not acceptable to
Maharashtra, as there is no benefit to their system.
During the 28th WRPC meeting Chairperson, WRPC suggested to take up the
issue with CEA by MSETCL and PGCIL with respect to utilization of the
substation as well as charging.
TCC/WRPC: Member Secretary, WRPC informed that the above matter was
deliberated in the SCM and he appraised of the the above agenda position.
The SCM decided to form a group of representatives from CEA,
POWERGRID, MSETCL and would look into the alternative arrangement of
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 10
feeds to Navi Mumbai station. MS, WRPC informed that any progress on the
same would be intimated to WRPC.
WRPC noted.
2.3 220 kV Extension feeders at 765/400 kV/220 kV sub-station atAurangbad.
Background: During 28th WRPC/TCC meeting, Member Secretary WRPC
informed that POWERGRID’s 765/400/220 kV sub-station at Aurangabad was
commissioned in January, 2014 and in operation from the above date. The ICT
765/400 kV is loaded but 400/220 kV is charged. Further, there is no 220 kV
network to cater the load of Aurangabad sub-station to nearby load centres.
MSETCL was requested to make the construction of 220 kV lines at the
earliest so that the load can be catered through POWERGRID’s sub-station at
Aurangabad to different load centres in Maharashtra.
Director, MSETCL informed that 220 kV Chitegaon-Shendra evacuation line at
Aurangabad shall be completed in about six months time.
TCC/WRPC: Director, MSETCL informed that for the 220 kV Chitegaon-
Shendra evacuation line at Aurangabad tender has been floated. It is expected
that line shall be completed in about six months after award.
WRPC noted.
2.4 Readiness of Kudus sub-station :
Background: During 28th WRPC/TCC meeting, Member Secretary WRPC
informed that MSETCL is constructing Kudus sub-station near Padghe.
POWERGRID’s 765 kV/400 kV GIS Padghe sub-station is likely to be
commissioned in May/June,2015. The 400 kV line from Powergrid Padghe GIS
station is likely to be completed by the end of May, 2015. In order to
evacuate power from POWERGRID sub-station, MSETCL has to keep ready
Kudus station by May, 2015. Director MSETCL informed that outgoing feeders
at Kudus along with Kudus substation is expected to be completed in about
one year time (by June 2016).
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 11
TCC/WRPC : POWERGRID/CTU representative informed that as per theoriginal scheme 400kV D/C from Tarapur is planned to 400kV Kudus and400kV Kudus to 400 kV Padghe GIS of Powergrid. It was also informedthat the 400kV line from Powergrid Padghe GIS station would becompleted by October 2015. Therefore in the 38th SCM it was decided thatsince Kudus S/S is expected to be commissioned by June 16, as aninterim arrangement the 400kV D/C lines from Tarapur S/S be terminatedat Nagothane S/S, by passing 400kV Padghe.

ITEM NO 3 : UTILIZATION OF PUMPED STORAGE STATIONS INPUMPING MODE DURING OFF-PEAK HOURS
Background: With growing self-sufficiency in the Western Regional grid, the
peak energy shortage in WR have reduced. However, it is observed that the
difference between the demand met during off-peak and peak hours has
increased. On normal days the difference is around 12000 MW which may
further increase during inclement weather / exceptional days. In order to
ensure balance between load and generation, the generation is required to be
backed down during off-peak hours and picked up during peaking hours. With
the pressure to maintain uninterrupted power supply to the customers along
with rising penetration of Renewable Energy Sources in the Grid, the need for
flexible generation (load-following, fast ramp-down, fast ramping up) would
accentuate further. These emerging challenges in grid operation call for
enhancing the flexibility of existing fleet of conventional generation and also
exploit the available facilities for energy storage and spinning reserve in the
form of Pumped Storage hydro stations.
Operation of available capacity of Pumped Storage hydro plants in pumping
mode would provide the following advantages as elaborated in the CBIP
Publication No. 265 titled “Pumped Storage in India” (Nov 1997):
a) Would enable storage of electrical energy into potential energy during
off-peak hours for utilization during peak hours
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 12
b) Provides a dynamic load during off-peak hours and thus helps in
reducing difference between Maximum and Minimum Load in the
system
c) Limits the quantum of variation in despatch schedule of thermal
stations, thus would help in enhancing efficiency of thermal stations
d) Would provide spinning reserve in the grid due to its flexibility to quickly
change over from motoring mode to generation mode
e) Would help in voltage and power factor correction
f) Improved System Reliability
The CEA report on “Large Scale Grid Integration of Renewable Energy
Sources- Way Forward” issued in November 2013 also emphasizes the need
for exploitation of pumped storage hydro stations. The report lists various
existing and envisaged PSP schemes in all the States.
The status of pumped storage hydro capacity in Western Region is as under:

Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 13
Envisaged PSP schemes:Maharashtra:Koyna left bank (2x40 MW), Malsej Ghat (700 MW) and Humbarli
400 MW)
Madhya Pradesh: Mara (1100 MW) and Binauda (2250 MW) : No information
from MP whether these project exist as indicated in 468th OCC.
Apart from utilization of the existing stations in pumping mode there is a need
to expedite the commissioning of envisaged PSP schemes in the region.
28th WRPC/TCC Discussion:
During the discussion, CE,SLDC,GETCO pointed out that they are following
the matter at Kadana HPS. Vibration problems are being faced when the same
was operated earlier in PSP. The matter has been taken up with their Genco.
Also telemetry facility is available. They shall report the progress in OCC.
The detailed report for exploration PSP of KHPS submitted by Gujarat is
attached at Annexure -3
In case of Bhivpuri, Head(PSCC),TPC pointed that they are not having
pumped storage. In case of Bhira, the plant operates for more than 10 hrs a
day in generator mode. Hence even if water is pumped back it can be utilised
in off peak hours only. There are commercial mechanisms also that requires to
be addressed. Also water levels are quite sufficient and they feel PSP at Bhira
is not needed..
In case of Maharashtra, CE,SLDC,Kalwa informed that Paithon and Ghatghar
are being operated in Pumped storage mode. Regarding PSP at Ujni facility
exists, but due to commercial reasons it is not operated in PSP mode.
In case of SSP, Member, NCA informed that Garudeshwar reservoir is being
constructed in about 18 months time. With that the SSP RBPH machines can
be operated in Pumped storage mode. However this being a shared project,
the beneficiaries shall have to agree on the usage of pumped storage mode of
operation. Initially all had agreed for PSP operation, however MP later on
backed out due to commercial reasons. Presently in principle Gujarat has
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 14
agreed. But MP and Maharashtra have expressed certain reservations. These
matter is being discussed in NCA forum.
Director(Comml) MPPMCL informed that commercial problems are envisaged
due to PSP for which MP had backed out.
Director(Opn), MSEDCL informed that the commercial implications of PSP at
SSP is not known. Hence they cannot comment in this forum. However they
are willing to discuss the issue and have a relook on the situation, if need be.
MS WRPC pointed out that commercial aspects of pumping cannot be studied
in isolation, but also requires to be studied along with necessary DSM charges
paid by the utility at the time of pumping. It would certainly reduce the DSM
charges along with capping in off peak hours, nullifying the commercial impact
of pumping up the water. It may be even be economical to use PSP in off peak
hours. Hence commercial aspects of such operation should be studied
CE,SLDC GETCO stated that commercial issues and sharing of charges of
PSP in Gujarat Discoms were discussed internally and the mechanism of how
it could be shared may be also brought to the notice of all when PSP is studied
in detail.
Member Secretary, WRPC suggested that NCA may list all the difficulties
mentioned and bring out a White Paper and discuss the same in a separate
meeting. Similarly commercial aspects of PSP may also be discussed in that
meeting for all the above units with PSP feasibility.
Subsequently the matter was discussed in 56th PSC of NCA wherein it was
intimated by SSCAC that the probable completion date for work of
Garudeshwar reservoir is 03.11.2017 and PSS will be operational probably
in Janury-2018. It was agreed that a white paper on the PSS operation at
SSP will be finalised after taking into account various possible situations
which may arise in real time and will be discussed in the next PSC of
NCA. After incorporating the comments and view on the paper the same shall
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 15
be forwarded to WRPC.
TCC: The updated status of Pumped storage facilities existing is alreadygiven in the above table. NCA representative informed that white paper is
under preparation and shall be put up first to NCA Power sub-committee
meeting. GETCO representative informed that SLDC had visited Kadana and
there were some vibration problems that are being investigated. GETCO shall
revert once these problems are resolved.
Regarding Envisaged PSP at Mahagenco representative Koyna left Bank(2 x
40 MW), Humbarli these are not planned. Similarly in MP for Mara (1100 MW)
and Binauda (2250 MW) these projects as well as PSP is not planned. It
appears that these details for envisaged PSP were from planning perspective.
Hence the same were deleted from discussion till further development.
MS WRPC concluded that existing (and working as per requirement )Pumped Storage Plants are at Paithan and Bhira. At Kadana PSPvibration problems needs to be addressed. For NCA white paper shallbe discussed in NCA Power sub committee and then will be put up toWRPC.

ITEM No.4: SCHEDULING OF SOLAR POWER THROUGH INTERSTATEBILATERAL TRANSACTION
4.1. Back ground: In the 69th CCM CE SLDC Gujarat had informed that the
Inter state bilateral transaction for sale of power from M/s. Jaydeep Cotton
Fiber Pvt. Ltd. (JCFPL) to Goa under Short Term Open Access has
commenced from 28.08.2014 and elaborated the various issues w.r.t
scheduling of solar power in their letter Gujsldc/SCH/F-12/132 and suggested
replacing Schedule with actual generation.
The Committee felt that the scheduling on the above suggestion of
SLDC Gujarat can only be done if Hon’ble CERC gives directions aligned
with the suggestion
4.2. CE SLDC Gujarat vide their letter GETCO/SLDC/4501 dated
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 16
23.05.2015 informed that the Interstate bilateral transaction for sale of power
from M/s Jaydeep cotton fibre Pvt Ltd (JCFPL) to Goa is through NVVN, and
prior to scheduling of the said power under STOA WRLDC has conveyed to
Gujarat SLDC as under for M/s JCFPL
1. No POC charges and losses for solar power for CTU system.
2. If there is no UI/DSM for solar generation in the state of Gujarat, the
same may be taken care at their end.
3. WRLDC shall not carry out any post facto revision by making SG=AG.
Two more solar generators M/s Gujarat State ElectricityLtd and M/s Gujarat Power Corporation Ltd, both having10MW installed capacity of Solar Power have commenced thesale of solar power under Inter State Bilateral transaction toGRIDCO, Odhisa through SECI wef 24.3.15. In total three solarplants are selling about 20-22 MW p o we r under InterstateBilateral Transaction. In f u t u r e number of solar and windgenerators may come up for such transactions. Since thecommercial mechanism under RRF is suspended, theimpl icat ions for DSM charges on the State due to deviation cannotbe settled. Hence, the actual generation be treated as schedules for suchgenerators.
The above was discussed again in the 70th CCM, since SLDCs arereceiving application for solar power inter-State transactions. The sub-Committee felt that in view of suspension of the commercial mechanismunder RRF regulations and the provisions of the CERC regulations invogue, it would not be possible to post facto revise the schedules to theactual generation in case of the solar power plants and therefore theStates may take up the matter with CERC for further directions.
TCC:Member Secretary informed that cases of inter-state solar transactions havebeen processed in WR. He observed that with the RRF mechanism beingsuspended, the state where the solar generation is located (and passing thetransaction to another state), is unnecessarily suffering the DSM charges. Herequested that a discussion on whether it is possible to make the ScheduledGeneration equal to Actual Generation for solar bilateral transactions in WRmay be taken.
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 17
TCC members discussed the issue in length. From the discussion followingpoints merited the taking of the SG=AG.
1) The state where solar generation is located unnecessarily faces DSMcharges.
2) RRF mechanism is suspended and there is no role at present forRenewables to limit their deviation. Till such time making SG=AG forSolar bilateral inter-state transactions would be desirable.
3) In case of solar the deviations are much less than wind and so can betaken up for SG=AG.
4) GETCO informed that in GETCO similar practice is adopted for intra-state solar. Same should be extended on Regional basis
5) In case the transaction is such that WR is receiving Region (solar powerfrom other region) unless the sending region changes the SG=AG thesame cannot be done by WR alone. Hence uniformity is not possible.MS, WRPC agreed to take up the matter in NPC / other RPCs for theirstands.
6) Unless the Hon’ble CERC decides on the RRF, ancillary services etc,the deviations for all renewable cannot be fully addressed.
WRPC: During the WRPC meeting, MS WRPC informed the outcome of the
TCC. The WRPC discussed the issue. GM WRLDC opined that In the absence
of RRF mechanism by Hon’ble CERC, existing IEGC provisions does not
allow making SG=AG of a RE generator which is embedded in the State and
selling power outside the state. Besides the present RE transactions are not
only inter state but also inter regional in nature. Under such circumstances
RLDC opined it will be difficult take any decision of making SG=AG only in
WR for which no regulatory provisions exist.
WRPC observed that since the implementing of SG=AG for solar transactions
cannot be implemented by WR alone, there would be a need for uniformity with
the other regions. Hence WR also cannot unilaterally follow for transactions
within WR as uniformity would be lost( example For within region SG=AG and
inter-regional there would be no SG=AG).
MS WRPC suggested that he shall take with his counterparts in other regions
and revert in the next meeting.
WRPC agreed to MS,WRPC’s suggestion.

ITEM No.5: SCHEDULING OF 10 MW ALLOCATION OF POWER TOBARC FACILITIES (TAPS 3 &4) FROM NPCIL TAPS 3&4.
Background: WRLDC vide letter WRLDC/MO-II/1797/2015/310 dated
08.04.2015 & 27.01.2015 have informed that BARC facilities have
disconnected from MSEDCL system. Since, BARC facility is no more a
consumer of MSEDCL, therefore WRLDC vide above letters have
requested to convene a meeting to resolve the issues involved in
scheduling of power from TAPS-3&4 to BARC facilities. Accordingly a
meeting to resolve issues involved in scheduling of 10MW allocation of
power to BARC facilities (TAPS-3&4) from NPCIL TAPS 3 & 4, was held on
28.04.2015 at WRPC Mumbai.
The issues discussed were as follows;
1. Allocation of 10MW was made from NPCIL TAPS 3 & 4 to BARC facilities
(TAPS-3&4) vide letter. WRPC/Comml-I/3/Alloc/2014/7872 dated
22.08.2014 to be effective w.e.f. 00:00hrs of 23.08.2014, as per MoP letter
No.3/44/2014-OM dated 20.08.2014.
2. Scheduling of BARC facilities commenced w.e.f. 00:00hrs of 23.08.2014,
treating BARC facilities as embedded entity of Maharashtra.
3. Disconnection of BARC facility from MSEDCL : As per NPCIL letter dtd
15.01.2015, they had disconnected the supply from MSEDCL w.e.f.
17.10.2014. However MSEDCL, representative informed that they would
confirm whether BARC Facilities supply from MSEDCL has been
permanently disconnected and they do not have any objection treating
BARC facilities as regional entity.
4. Status of BARC scheduling : It was informed that since scheduling of
BARC Facility is being done as an embedded entity of Maharashtra, the
DSM and other liabilities are with Maharashtra and would continue with
Maharashtra till it is treated as embedded entity.
GM WRLDC informed that BARC is being treated as an embedded entity
and invited suggestions, whether to continue treating BARC as embedded
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 19
entity or start treating BARC facilities as regional entity in light of above
communication received from BARC facilities.
5. BARC facilities representative informed that they have not applied for
open access with MSEDCL and MSETCL. SLDC MSETCL, Kalwa
representative informed that for treating BARC facility as embedded entity
of Maharashtra, BARC Facility has to take open access of
MSETCL/MSEDCL system for wheeling power from TAPS-3&4 to BARC
Facility through MSEDCL/MSETCL system. It was suggested that
MSEDCL, Maharashtra STU and BARC Facilities would resolve the open
access issue on priority.
6. If BARC facility desires to be treated as regional entity, BARC facility would
have to approach CTU for multi party agreement between BARC Facility,
CTU, TAPS 3&4 & TAPS 1&2 and to get MSEDCL/MSETCL NoC for the
above connectivity, since one entity can not have dual connectivity with
CTU and STU simultaneously.
7. Till the above at point 6 is resolved BARC Facility would be treated as
embedded entity of Maharashtra. After completion of the above at point 7,
BARC facility would inform WRLDC and complete all the formalities with
WRLDC required for becoming a regional entity. Thereafter the scheduling
of BARC facility as regional entity would commence at a convenient date.
8. In that case, BARC Facility would be treated as buyer and DSM would be
applicable to BARC facility from the above date as per the methodology of
scheduling adopted for buyers and beneficiaries of the nuclear stations.
In line with the above discussions BARC Facility was requested to take
appropriate action at the earliest and communicate the status. However
BARC facility has not reverted on the above issue and BARC facility is
being treated as an embedded entity of Maharashtra for scheduling and
DSM accounting purpose.
TCC:During the meeting, BARC representative informed the following status. BARCis making payment to NPCIL Taps 3&4 for the energy charges as against the
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 20
allocation. Further they are paying PGCIL transmission charges for the same.He informed that they have approached MSEDCL for NOC for gettingconnectivity with CTU. He also informed that MSEDCL meters have beendisconnected since 17.10.2014. Further they have approached CTU forconnectivity and the same is in process. He expected that these proceduralformalities shall be completed shortly.
GM, WR-2,PGCIL informed that BARC shall have to pay all necessary feesand complete the application in all respects for obtaining connectivity.
CE, SLDC, MSETCL informed that since BARC have discontinued the meterssince 17.10.2014, the 10 MW allocation to BARC shown in Maharashtra asembedded entity may be removed.
SE(Comml), WRPC clarified that the allocation of 10 MW as embedded entityin Maharashtra was done as BARC was consumer of MSEDCL because atthat time BARC was not a CTU entity, but a MSEDCL consumer. The fact thatthey are no longer consumer since 17.10.2014 was not intimated to WRPC.Also if it is not possible for BARC to accept the allocation, WRPC Secretariatwould have to take up the same with CEA/MoP. Hence reversing the allocationby WRPC is not possible post-facto.
He further informed that the REA accounts show BARC separately for energy.However In DSM BARC is shown as embedded entity of Maharashtra. HenceBARC could pay for energy charges to NPCIL and transmission charges toPGCIL for the same.
MS WRPC informed the following:1) Till BARC gets connectivity to CTU as Buyer, for the allocation period,
BARC is required to be treated as an embedded consumer of MSEDCL.MSEDCL was requested to regularise the case and BARC wasrequested to complete the necessary formalities for obtaining openaccess in Maharashtra system/ any other formalities required byMSEDCL since the date of allocation.
2) Since the discontinuation of meters at BARC end by MSEDCL from17.10.2014 has taken place, the CTU meters reading for drawl point ofMaharshtra at TAPS can be used for BARC consumption, as there is noMSEDCL meter since 17.10.2014. For this MSEDCL can obtain themeter readings from WRLDC.
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 21
3) BARC was requested to complete and regularise the case so that he istreated as embedded consumer of Maharashtra since the date ofallocation. BARC agreed to the same. MSEDCL may accordinglyregularise the case.
4) Once the embedded entity of MSEDCL status for BARC is completedand regularised, BARC may like to approach CTU, if they so desire, forconnectivity with central grid.TCC recommended the above position stated by MS WRPC.
WRPC:
WRPC noted that for the period from the date of allocation tillconnectivity with CTU, BARC has to be treated as embedded entity ofMSEDCL. WRPC agreed to TCC recommendation.

those projects which are of a regional nature requiring Form A5 will be
recommended based on the merits of the proposal. This also does not prevent
any state or utility from going directly to PSDF.
CE, CSEB suggested that those proposals that have already come to WRPC
may be recommended by WRPC Secretariat and this Committee may
therefore look for new proposals. However MS WRPC informed that the
special Group shall clear existing pending proposals quickly, after the WRPC
meeting.
WRPC: WRPC agreed the formation of a Group comprising of of MS WRPC,GM WRLDC, ED/CE (STU) from the constituents, ED POWERGRID, EDNTPC to scrutiny those proposals that are of regional nature requiring A5 formand recommend the same to PSDF based on the merits. For existingproposals that have already come to WRPC, a meeting may be called at theearliest after the WRPC meeting.
WRPC agreed as above.
ITEM NO. 7 REVISION OF DSM ACCOUNTS AND PAYMENT OFINTEREST THEREOF & STOA REVISIONS :
Member Secretary WRPC informed that there are two issues to be discussed
at A and B below.
A) Revision of DSM Accounts and payment of interest thereof : MS
WRPC informed that ACBIL vide their letter ACBIL/WRPC/14-15/1948 DATED
24.03.2015 have intimated that the DSM account for the week 04.11.13 to
10.11.13 was revised due to inadvertent error in calculating the injection of
ACBIL and the DSM account for the week 23.06.2014 to 29.06.2014 was
revised due to erroneous CT ratio for Bilaspur substation.
For both the DSM accounts WRLDC raised invoices on ACBIL based on the
original account and later raised revised invoices based on revised DSM
accounts. ACBIL did not make the payments as per original invoice citing that
the revised accounts/revised invoices were issued prior to due date of payment
of the original account. Further WRLDC vide their memos dated 02.05.2014
and 06.01.2014 raised invoices for interest payment against nonpayment of
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 25
dues as per original accounts. The interest is not payable by ACBIL as the
DSM accounts were corrected before the due date for payment and needs to
be returned back.
The matter was discussed in the 70th CCM and WRLDC representative
informed that the interest for outstanding amounts of pool members in the
original account is calculated after the due date of the original account. Any
subsequent revision of the original account will have a new due date, therefore
till this new due date, the interest is calculated for the pool members who have
out standing amount from the due date of the original account.
If the accounts are revised within the due date of the original account, the
sufferer pool member has to bear the interest on the out standing amount till
the due date of the revised account. Therefore they unnecessarily have to pay
the interest on the out standing amount and this adversely affects the cash
flow of small pool members due to errors non attributable to them in the
account.
WRLDC was of the view that pool members should confirm their injection/drawl
is correct and errors if any should be brought to their notice by Monday, since
the meter data is uploaded on their web site by Friday, so that the errors can
be rectified and revised data can be furnished by them to WRPC for preparing
the accounts.
Not withstanding the above the sub-Committee suggested that if the accounts
due to the above errors are revised within 5days of issuing the original account
the original a/c be suspended or the interest liability of all the pool members be
calculated as per the outstanding amount as per the revised a/c after the due
date of the revised account.
Since as per the regulations, the data for DSM account is to be furnished by
WRLDC by Friday & WRPC based on this data has to issue the DSM A/c on
Tuesday. Suspension of A/cs as suggested means delayed issuance of the
A/cs as per regulations. Further the pool member would suffer in case of errors
in a/cs which are beyond their control.
Followings are recommended by CCM;
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 26
1) If the a/c is revised within the due date of the original a/c due to errors
beyond the control of pool members, the amount payable by pool members
shall be as per the revised a/c and the due date shall be as per the revised a/c.
2) If the a/c is revised after the due date of the original a/c due to errors
beyond the control of pool members, a mechanism should be formulated such
that the interest be receivable by the pool members who have paid excess
amounts as per the original a/c than the amounts payable by such pool
members as per the revised a/c.
TCC: MS WRPC informed that in spite of best efforts there are mistakes indata processing, missing or erroneous data. This leads to mistakes in DSMaccounts that have to be corrected. The corrections could be done within thedue date or beyond the due date. When done within the due date, there is aneed to extend the permitted payment time. This is because mostgovernmental agencies require a processing time for making financialtransaction. There are two bills for the same week period within due datepayment and so old bill requires to be cancelled. In the present case pointedout by ACBIL, they had made payment as per revised bill. However since theold erroneous bill was not cancelled, WRLDC raised interest payments. Herequested a discussion on the issue.
GM, WRLDC informed that if a DSM bill is cancelled by WRPC, then only thetreatment can be restricted to current valid bill. In the ACBIL case, had WRPCcancelled its old bill, the interest part for old bill would not be claimed from M/sACBIL. M/s ACBIL pointed out that WRPC had issued two DSM bills for thesame period within the due date of the first bill. They had honoured the latestbill for the same period which was recent and within due date and hence theyare not liable to make interest payment for the old bill. TCC agreed to M/sACBIL point of view and requested, WRPC to treat the old bill cancelled.
TCC recommended that when a new bill for the same week is issued beforedue date of old bill, then the old bill should be treated as cancelled. Further thenew bill shall have new due date as per regulatory norms. GM WRLDC pointedout that this may delay the payment realisation for inter-regional transactions.But since realizing interest from an old cancelled bill in the same week withindue date is not a good practice, TCC recommended that when a revised billfor the same week is issued before due date, then the old bill should betreated as cancelled.
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 27
Regarding the second part, when a new bill for the same week is issued by
WRPC after due date, the TCC discussed the issue. However it was not
possible to suggest a solution/mechanism to the problem of interest given in
the Agenda notes. In general since these errors are random in nature and no
one is preferred, it is possible that some who suffers for a period may benefit at
some other times. Hence existing practice may be continued.
WRPC:
MS, WRPC informed the above discussions to WRPC. WRPC agreed to theTCC recommendations that when a revised bill for the same week isissued before due date, then the old bill issued should be treated ascancelled. For the revised bill the new due date shall be as per regulatorynorms (10 days presently). Accordingly the M/s ACBIL case may beprocessed.
B) STOA revisions : MS WRPC informed that ACBIL vide their above
letter have intimated that the plants of ACBIL have been granted connectivity
through 400kV D/C dedicated transmission line from ACBIL generating station
switchyard to 765/400 KV PGCIL substation Bilaspur.
The LTOA/Connectivity for the plants is as under:
1. Grant of open access for 270 MW vide PGCIL letter dated 16.03.2009
2. Grant of open access for 50 MW vide PGCIL letter dated 16.03.2009 and
27.12.2013
3. Grant of open access for 2x30 MW vide PGCIL letter dated 13.06.2013
ACBIL is scheduling the gross power from all the units under common UI pool
account and WRLDC works out the deviation w.r.t declared capacity of all units
taken together.
M/s ACBIL & SCPL applied to WRLDC for revision of STOA schedule for the
1x50 MW unit of SCPL from 24.73 MW to 0 MW due to forced outage on
27.03.2014 vide application no N23280A. WRLDC POSOCO vide their mail
dated 27.03.2014 replied that the STOA revision cannot be implemented
because the plant capacity is 50 MW and in further communications WRLDC
cited CERC provision of IEGC 2010 according to which, in case of forced
outage only generator having capacity of more than 100 MW shall only be
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 28
allowed for revision in declared capacity/schedule through concerned
SLDC/RLDC.
Therefore ACBIL is requesting to permit revision of schedule in case of forced
outage irrespective of size of generating unit as combined connectivity has
been given at Bilaspur substation.
In the 70th CCM ACBIL representative informed that the entire ACBIL & SCPL
complex is treated as a single pool member having installed capacity of more
than 100MW and therefore the revision of STOA schedule should have been
allowed due to forced outage. WRLDC representative re-iterated that the
generator is having less than 100MW capacity therefore the STOA can not be
revised as per the above stated IEGC provision. ACBIL did not accept the
above clarification of WRLDC.
Since ACBIL as a pool member & generator has a capacity greater than100MW, whether the tripping of 50MW is eligible for STOA revisions ornot requires guidance of TCC/WRPC.
TCC: Ms WRPC informed the above issue and discussions in CCM. M/sACBIL maintained that there is only one pool member of ACBIL as a generatorwith a capacity greater than 100 MW. Hence if there is tripping of their unit of50 MW they have the right to revise their schedule because they are generatorof more than 100 MW capacity..WRLDC had maintained their view that schedule revision is applicable if onlythe generator unit is having a capacity of 100 MW or. They quoted the SORand regulation and were of the opinion that STOA revisions are not permittedbecause the ACBIL generating unit is not having a capacity of 100 MW ormore.
SE(Comml),WRPC said that the sentence of the regulation isQuote ( 6.5.19 IEGC First Amendment )Notwithstanding anything contained in Regulation 6.5.18, in case offorced outage of a unit of a generating station (having generatingcapacity of 100 MW or more) and selling power under Short Term bilateraltransaction (excluding collective transactions through power exchange), thegenerator or electricity trader or any other agency selling power from the unit ofthe generating station shall immediately intimate the outage of the unit along
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 29
with the requisition for revision of schedule and estimated time of restoration ofthe unit, to SLDC/RLDC, as the case may be.UnQuote
He further opined that the sentence pertains to generating station capacity of100 MW or more and not unit size.
TCC members discussed the issue, however WRLDC maintained their viewthat it was unit size that was referred not the station capacity. Further WRLDCpointed out that if the interpretation is taken as per ACBIL stand, the STOAbilateral transactions by RE generators having capacity of 2MW onwards haveto be revised by RLDCs and SLDCs in case of tripping of such units leading toa total jeopardy of the scheduling mechanism.
WRPC:MS WRPC informed the above position. During WRPC meeting, WRLDCmaintained their stand mentioned in TCC, pertaining to the interpretation ofgenerating unit or station size. Since there was no convergence on the issue,it was left to M/s ACBIL to take the issue with the Hon’ble Commission for anyclarification.
WRPC noted.
ITEM NO 8: PROCUREMENT OF ERS SUBSTATION/SYSTEM OF400/220/33KV
Background : POWERGRID proposed for procurement of Emergency
restoration System for Substation at 400/220/33kV level to meet the contingency
arising out of natural calamities like earthquake, flood, cyclone etc. In the earlier
WRPC meetings this scheme was agreed in principle and it was suggested to
discuss this issue further in technical committee meeting and examine the
proposal. Recently, cyclones of the scale of Phailin in Odhisha and Hudhud in
Vizag caused enormous damage to Power transmission infrastructure in the
respective regions which triggered revisiting the requirement of ERS Substation
at 400/220/33kV level. The matter was discussed in TCC meeting of 28th WRPC
held on 3rd March, 2015 where TCC members agreed to the suggestion of MS,
WRPC that the earlier view taken by WRPC about three to four years ago on the
ERS substation can be relooked under the present changed scenario.
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 30
During CCM meeting held on 4.06.2015 it was recommended that the proposal
for ERS s/s be discussed first in OCC for technical details and tentative cost
estimate. So that recommendations of OCC could be put up to ensuing
TCC/WRPC ensuing meeting.
In 472nd OCC meeting held on 10.06.2015 at Ahmadabad representative from
POWERGRID, WRTS – 1, Nagpur made a presentation in brief about techno-
commercial details. Mobile substations are useful for meeting the contingencies
imposed by natural disasters like cyclone and earthquake which cause extensive
damage to the power supply network. Other than natural disasters there is
application of mobile substation in cases of terrorist attacks on the power system
assets and for temporary augmentation / reinforcement of existing power supply
network like in case of organization of big national / international level events.
Mobile substations are critical for ensuring reliability in power system network in
case of contingencies beyond the control of power system operator / system
owner.
During the meeting CE, SLDC GETCO opined that above project may involve
significant commercial involvement, therefore it would be better if is funded
through PSDF fund and minimize the burden on beneficiaries. Also, participation
of DISCOMs is essential before making any decision on procurement of the
same.
Member Secretary, WRPC suggested the by procurement of such type of mobile
Sub-station the interruption of supply hrs may be reduced.
He further informed POWERGRID to come up with more techno-economical
details in upcoming TCC/WRPC meeting regarding finalizing the modalities
involved in the procurement of mobile substations for Western Region.
Present status of availability of ERS also about pooling/utilization strategies about
existing ERS constituent wise is given below:
One ERS is available with MSETCL, no ERS is available with Gujarat, one ERS
available with MP, two 400 kV ERS available with Chattishgarh at Bhilai/Raipur,
PGCIL have four set of ERS system viz 765kV at Seoni, 400 kV at Raipur, 400
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 31
kV Dehgam, Itarsi and one at 400kV & one at 500kV level total two ERS
available with Adani.
TCC: PGCIL gave a presentation on the ERS Substation/System.
Dir(O) MSETCL stated that huge investment is involved in this project and most
of the time the assets would be lying idle. Hence there shall be no financial
burden on the beneficiaries towards procurement of the ERS system.
Representatives of MP, GUVNL and CSPDCL representatives stated that there is
an issue of portability and mobility of such a huge asset, since lot of clearances
are required to be taken for transportation of the system. The system may not
reach the desired location at appropriate time, since the area of Western Region
is huge and the benefits in real time would not be as has been envisaged. TCC
therefore recommended that the ERS system be funded through PSDF.
WRPC:
MS WRPC informed the position to WRPC. Director(O),PGCIL informed that they
are working on smaller sized ERS which are commercially viable and also
capable of supplying essential power under emergency conditions. Also they
should be easily mobile. If a viable commercial and practical proposal comes up,
PGCIL shall bring the same to WRPC.

Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 32
After detailed deliberation with PGCIL, It was agreed that extra efforts may be
made to complete the above sites including communication requirement by
15.08.2015. In case of extreme emergency delay, alternate arrangement for
temporary deployment of new SCADA will be made to facilitate migration to
New system.
TCC: The following position pertains to above issue was informed in TCC.
Bhopal Sub-SLDC: Representatives from MPPTCL informed that Bhopal Sub-
SLDC building would be ready by 31st Aug 2015 and suggested that
temporarily alternate arrangements would be made at existing Sub-SLDC by
installing minimum hardware and data would be made available at Jabalpur
SLDC. After Bhopal Sub-SLDC building is ready hardware would be shifted for
installation along with Sub-SLDC equipments.
Indore Sub-SLDC: Representatives from MPPTCL informed that Indore Sub-
SLDC is ready and installation is in progress.
Bhilai Backup SLDC: Representative from CSPTCL informed that air-
conditioning and LT power supply work is in progress and Bhilai Backup SLDC
building would be ready for installation by 31st Aug 2015.

B. MASTER PLAN COMMUNICATION
In the 16th Project Review Meeting of SCDA/EMS held on 6th July’2015,
PGCIL requested for repeater station for Master Plan communication at
following location:
a) Pichore 132 kV for Bina-Gwalior link
b) Bijawar 132 kV for Champa – Kurukshetra line
c) Sihora 132 kV for Champa –Kurukshetra line
Requirement of repeater at above location was discussed and considering the
Grid operational requirement, the same was agreed. MP requested to provide
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 33
terminal equipment in place of repeater station whenever required. PGCIL
informed that they will explore and include as per convenience.
Representative from MP informed that the same may be taken up with MP
STU and SLDC will extend necessary assistance.
TCC:PGCIL proposal to install repeater stations at MPPTCL sub-stations was
discussed. Representative from MPPTCL informed that repeater station can be
installed at 132 KV Pichore for Bina-Gwalior link. Further he informed that at
132 KV Bijawar terminal equipment may be supplied in place of repeater
station.
Representative from MPPTCL also informed that outage of 132 KV Sihora is
very difficult for laying OPGW and requested PGCIL to suggest an alternate
location/ substation for installation of the repeater station proposed at Sihora.
Also only one pair of fiber is available.
It was recommended that PGCIL and MPPTCL would discuss the requirement
of Sihora 132 kV for Champa-Kurukshetra link.

ITEM NO. 10 : UNIFIED REAL TIME DYNAMIC STATE MEASUREMENT(URTDSM)
10.1 : REPORTING OF DATA TO STATE SLDCS
The matter of non reporting of central sector PMUs data to SLDCs was taken
up by SLDCs in URTDSM project review meetings held at WRLDC Mumbai on
13-12-2014 and 09-01-2015 in which it was principally agreed that PMUs data
of all stations falling under geographical area of the State is required to be
arranged in real time to the PDC of that SLDC. Further, representative of
LD&C POWERGRID informed that technical feasibility for additional
reporting/routing of data from Central sector PMUs need to be worked out
considering the capability of hardware and software, especially historian sizing,
storing capacity, duration etc. and assured that they shall revert back during
the next meeting.
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 34
The above was emphasised in the 28th WRPC meeting by the beneficiaries
and SLDCs. The above requirement, along with necessary hardware and
software required was in principle accepted by WRPC and PGCIL was
requested to work out the details of hardware and software requirement and
discuss the same in detail with WR constituents in the ensuing URTDSM
meeting. GM – PGCIL(HO) agreed to examine and implement the same.
In the 4th URTDSM meeting held on 6th July’2015, as per the directives ofWRPC in the 28th WRPC meeting. PGCIL representative informed thatthey have worked out the hardware and associated requirement andconfirmed that original configuration is adequate to meet the above dataflow.
TCC/WRPC noted.
10.2: URTDSM technical requirement:In the 4th URTDSM meeting during the presentation on 7th July’2015 by IIT-B,
PGCIL to a query clarified that one terminal at WRPC would be made available
and PMU data would also be available at this terminal for analysis by the
protection group of WRPC.
IIT-B gave a presentation on the analytics being developed under this project.
The analytics envisaged in the project includes On line State Estimation,
Estimation of line parameters, vulnerability analysis of relays for load
encroachment and power swings, CT/PT calibrations and Zone-III adaptive
protection.
To a query of representatives present as to whether metering core or
protection core is wired up for PMUs, IIT-B representative replied as per
POWERGRID proposal metering core is being wired up for PMU.
It was in general felt that the choice of instrumentation transformers cores
should be based on the applications/analytics being developed for the project
and for all protection purpose analytics it would always be advisable to use the
protection core of the instrument transformers since under heavy power swings
and faults persisting in Z-II/Z-III timings the metering cores would saturate and
the analytics developed for protection purpose would not give desired results.
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 35
Therefore for specialized protection analytics PMUs of protection class are
required to be wired up in PS class CT/PT cores.
Since POWERGRID was responsible for providing input they assured to
consider the above suggestion and would revert back.
TCC: The matter pertaining to the use of protection core/ PS class PMU
wherever protection analytics are to be deployed was discussed. PGCIL
representative agreed to look into the matter and revert back.
WRPC:Director(O), PGCIL queried whether protection core can be used as existing
protection cannot be sacrificed. It was informed by some members that
additional protection cores can be used. Director(O),PGCIL informed that this
position may not be true for all stations, and they shall check up on the
suggestion and revert back.

10.3: URTDSM Manpower requirement
In the 4th URTDSM meeting held on 6th July’2015, PGCIL has informed that
scheduled Program Development System ( PDS) is to be delivered during
August 1st week. The Committee discussed the requirement of dedicated
manpower for PMU technology development and deployment in SLDCs. GM,
WRLDC informed that PMU technology has immense potential in Grid
operation for improvement in system efficiency and reliability. So dedicated
man power will ensure engagement of the Engineers from all control centres
towards adoption of new technology and achieve desired benefits.
After detailed deliberation the URTDSM Committee recommended fordedicated man power of 2-3 persons in each control centres to beprovided respective utility (SLDC/RLDC).
TCC/WRPC agreed to manpower requirement. However manpowerplanning has to be arranged by concerned utilities.

In the 4th URTDSM meeting held on 6th July’2015, PGCIL informed the
schedule for delivery of URTDSM project materials and requested constituents
to arrange necessary space at all control centers for which constituents
agreed.
Constituents agreed to provide space as per requirement.TCC/WRPC noted.
ITEM NO. 11: TESTING OF SPS ENVISAGED FOR SR-NEW GRIDOPERATION AND 765 KV AGRA-GWALIOR LINES
11.1 : SPS ENVISAGED FOR SR-NEW GRID OPERATION :
Back ground: As per NLDC’s letter dated 11.04.2014, the backing down quantum for
generators in WR were finalized for various security threats after NEW – SR
synchronization with 765kV Raichur-Sholapur Ckt-I. The matter was further deliberated in
the 26th WRPC meeting held on 21.06.2014 and decided that as and when the signals are
extended to the newer generators, the quantum of backing down of the already
participating generators will be reduced on prorata basis. NLDC vide letter dated 07th July
2014 communicated modification in SPS in view of commercial operation of 765kV
Raichur-Solapur ckt-II. The same was circulated to all the concerned for necessary action.
Status: In the 123rd PCM, PGCIL was requested to extend the signal to Lanco at the
earliest and requested all newly participating generating stations to complete the wiring for
necessary action at their end. It was also decided that mock testing of the modified SPS
may be done by WRLDC after completion of signal extension and wiring at all generating
stations.
WRLDC representative intimated that mock testing of SPS for 765kV Raichur –Solapur D/C was done in December 2014 and signal for generation backdown wasreceived at all envisaged generating stations i.e. KSK, JPL, JPL Extension, NSPCL,BALCO, KWPCL and DB Power.
TCC/ WRPC noted.
11.2: Tripping of 765 kV Raichur – Solapur D/C on 24.05.2015: On 24.05.2015 at
around 19:13 Hrs 400 kV Chittor – Tiruvalem – I & II tripped. Subsequently at 19:19 Hrs,
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 37
HVDC Talcher – Kolar pole I & II tripped on valve cooling problem and thus the power flow
on each circuit of 765 kV Solapur – Raichur D/C touched around 1573 MWs and these line
tripped from Raichur end. It was followed by tripping of around 1750 MWs generation and
1000 MWs load shedding in SR.
In the 125th PCM, WRLDC representative intimated that during the above occurrence,
power swings were observed as seen from the PMU data of Solapur and Raichur. He
further informed that it is suspected that the lines have tripped from Raichur end due to
crossing of 1000MW for 10 secs. However the tripping of the D/C should have been
blocked when both ckts are in service. The tripping at WR end (i.e. Sholapur end) is
blocked and it needs to investigate whether the tripping for above condition is blocked at
Raichur end. This has been taken up with POWERGRID. Committee felt that during the
above occurrence, the load shedding in SR envisaged for HVDC Thalcher-Kolar SPS might
have acted correctly. However during the occurrence generators at Meenakshi(150MW),
SDS TPS (800MW), Raichur TPS(210MW) and Ramagundam-Bhadrawati Pole 1 was out
of service. This led to increase in loading on Raichur-Sholapur lines, but the load shedding
in SR was not adequate (due to combined effects of HVDC Thalchar-Kolar tripping and
Generation trippings in SR). Further it is suspected that SPS settings as per NLDC letter
dated 07.07.2014 is not revised at Raichur end(i.e. blocking of tripping for O/L when both
ckts are in service). This led to tripping of the lines from Raichur end. . Committee
requested WRLDC to take up the matter with NLDC / SRLDC / ERLDC. Further, the loads
to be shed identified for Thalchar-Kolar SPS & Raichur-Sholapur SPS should be
independent of each other.
TCC/ WRPC noted.
11.3: Tripping of 765 kV Raichur – Solapur D/C on 31.05.2015: In the 125th PCM,WRLDC representative intimated that at 16:59 hrs, 765 KV Raichur-Solapur-II tripped on
B-phase fault .At 17:00 hrs, 765 KV Raichur-Solapur-I tripped on Y-phase fault. A/R
attempted for both circuit but due to persisting fault, the lines tripped.
765 KV Raichur-Solapur-I was charged from Raichur end at 17:42 hrs and synchronized at
Solapur at 19:00 hrs. During synchronization, SPS operated and generation backing down
took place at NSPCL ( 25 MW ), JPL ( 70 MW ), KSK (40 MW ). 765 KV Raichur-Solapur-II
was restored at 19:25 hrs. At the time of synchronisation large power swings were
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 38
observed and the magnitude of Power swing was more than 3000 MW on this occasion,
which caused SPS operation.
The large power swings were observed due to improper synchronisation of the NEW & SR
grids. As seen from the PMU data, the synchronization was done at an angular difference
was around 115 degrees. The matter was discussed in PCM and it was felt that angular
difference estimated/assessed during the synchronization by WRLDC may not be around
115 degrees, since synchronization at such an angular difference would have resulted
power flows of the magnitude of phase to phase faults. However there was some problem
during synchronization which needs to be brought out by studying the incidence in great
depth by central agency like NLDC/CEA. Subsequently considering the seriousness of the
above events, WRPC vide letter dated 17.06.2015 took up the issue with CEA. NLDC
have published a report on the above events and a copy is available at WRPC web-site..
TCC: PGCIL representative intimated that tie breaker was used for Bus reactor and
during commissioning of CSD in 2014, the “synchro check OK” input to BCU was missed
out, therefore the synchronisation of the line through Tie breaker was not done by
ascertaining the “synchro check OK” during synchronisation.
WRPC: Director (O) PGCIL intimated that this was an unexpected charging situation from
tie breaker, as it is usual to do the same from Main breaker. They have already directed to
take all precautions to check the synchronisation for any tie breaker charging situation,
between two asynchronous grids, to avoid errors in future.
ITEM NO. 12:
12.1 SPS FOR AGRA-GWALIOR – MOCK TESTING OF SPS ENVISAGED FORBACKING DOWN OF GENERATION IN WR
Background: An SPS has been implemented for 765kV Bina – Gwalior – Agra D/C,
wherein when sudden reduction in import by NR on Agra-Gwalior I & II ckts by more than or
equal to 1500 MWs, 500 MWs generation back down in WR (KSTPS NTPC– 120 MWs,
VSTPS NTPC – 200 MWs & CGPL – 180 MWs) and load shedding in NR would take place.
The mock testing of SPS for 765 kV Bina – Gwalior – Agra D/C was proposed by NRPC on
24.12.2014. The mock testing of the SPS was unsuccessful and in the 124th PCM, PGCIL
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 39
representative intimated that the signals were sent to generating stations directly from Agra
S/s, under PGCIL - NR.
The mock testing of the SPS was again carried out on 30.04.2015 and the receipt of
signals at all the generating stations in WR was confirmed.
In the meeting held on 23.06.2015 at CEA New Delhi for revision of SPS settings of 765kV
Bina-Gwalior-Agra lines, it was decided that the SPS setting for triggering Load Shedding in
NR be revised from existing 1250MW to 1400MW for each circuit (i.e. 2500MW to 2800MW
for D/C). Increase in flow limit for SPS would allow import by NR upto 1400MW on each
ckt. However ATC/TTC would not be changed. This settings would be observed for some
time before revising upward and also in the light of ensuing commissioning of 765 kV
Gwalior-Jaipur Circuit.
WRPC noted.
12.2: Review of SPS for CGPL Mundra:
In view of commissioning of 400 kV Bhachau – Versana D/C the SPS was under review.
Based on the studies carried out by WRLDC in consultation with SLDC GETCO, CGPL and
WRPC the
Revised SPS agreed is as follows;
Sl. No. SPS triggering condition Actions required Comments

TCC/WRPC noted.
12.3: Islanding schemes for TAPS 1 & 2 and TAPS 3 & 4:
In the 124th & 125th PCM meeting, it was proposed that TAPS 1 & 2 generation be islanded
with Bhilad load and TAPS 3 & 4 be islanded with load of Boisar (MSETCL). In the 124 th
PCM, Committee reviewed the proposal and opined that units of TAPS 1 & 2 are very old
and fine control of generation is not possible. The governors of TAPS 1 & 2 are such that
the generation can either be 160 or 100 MWs. Further the radial loads at Bhilad are
variable and fine control of loads may not be possible. Therefore islanding TAPS 1 & 2 with
Bhilad load may not survive for long and even if it survives, while restoring the grid it may
be very difficult to synchronize this island with grid as both load and generation of the
island are not controllable.
Further it was felt that as the generation of TAPS 3 & 4 can be controlled, it would be better
to form an island with generation of TAPS 1, 2, 3 & 4 and loads of Bhilad and Boisar.
Committee requested TAPS 1 & 2 to take up the above proposal with higher authorities and
revert back to the PCM forum with its proposal.
TAPS 1 & 2 representative intimated that the above proposal was discussed in depth with
higher authorities. It was felt that TAPS 1, 2, 3 & 4 together as island have multiple
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 41
combinations (All Units are running, TAPS 1 under shutdown etc..,) , it would be very
difficult to implement the logic for the same.
Committee decided to drop the proposal for islanding of TAPS 1 & 2 and islandingscheme for TAPS 3&4 be formulated and requested WRLDC to prepare a draftscheme and put up the same in the next PCM.
TCC: GM WRLDC informed that they have prepared the scheme after discussion with
TAPS 1&2 and 3&4 authorities. All data for preparation of an islanding scheme exists. He
requested NPCIL to formulate any suitable islanding scheme, in case they do not wish to
implement the present scheme for Taps islanding and put up to PCM.
Since necessary data was available with NPCIL from the above discussions it was decided
that Taps1&2 and Taps3&4 may examine the schemes and revert to PCM forum.
WRPC:
MS WRPC informed the above position. WRPC requested NPCIL to look into the islanding
schemes and suggest a suitable islanding scheme. Necessary regulatory clearances if any,
may also be obtained. NPCIL agreed to revert back in PCM.

ITEM NO. 13 : DEVIATION SETTLEMENT MECHANISM AND RELATEDMATTERS (FIRST AMENDMENT) REGULATIONS, 2014 DATED 18TH
DECEMBER’ 2014Background:
In the 28th WRPC meeting MD, MSETCL pointed out that the bigger states like
Maharashtra, MP, Gujarat etc face a lot of practical difficulties in restricting the
deviations as per the provisions of the DSM regulations and amendments thereto.
However the representations with the Hon’ble CERC have been made on individual
basis (as only MP has approached the Commission). He further suggested that if
difficulties are experienced in implementing the restrictions of deviations as per
DSM regulations during operation by almost all the States of the region, then as a
region it is necessary to represent the case and also point out acceptable solutions
before the Commission or appropriate redressal forum. He pointed out the following
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 42
difficulties are being faced by Maharashtra and other States in restricting deviations
within limits:
1) Impact of Renewable Energy: The renewable energy particularly wind faces
a lot of uncertainties. The quantum of wind has gone up in Maharashtra. These
variations are far above 150 MW limits prescribed. The RRF mechanism is
suspended. In these conditions, the State is unnecessarily burdened with DSM
penalties.
2) Failure of Communication links: In January 2015, there were instances
when the major communication links failed. Under these conditions, the State was
asked to back down generation. With frequency being low, the DSM penalties were
very high, as it turned out from the energy meter readings that the State was not
actually underdrawing as seen from the SCADA in absence of links, but was
overdrawing. There should be provisions in the DSM to mitigate penalties in such
cases where state is asked by WRLDC to backdown and links are not fully present.
3) Need for Redundancy in links: There is a need to increase the redundancy
in communication links in a phased manner so that the above point does not repeat
and cause financial implications.
4) Too small margins: Apart from the RRF factor, the margin for deviation of
150 MW for States with demands ranging from 10000 to 20000MW and central
shares around 4000 MW is too small to be within limit and seriously requires to be
enhanced.
5) Infirm power: New generating units under infirm power also cause
deviations.
WRPC in the 28th meeting accepted the suggestions of MD MSETCL and
recommended for formation a group comprising of representatives from all states
and study the problems faced during the DSM regime and suggest the solutions in
the next WRPC meeting. It is necessary to represent the case as a region and also
point out acceptable solutions. It was decided that the Scope of the Group would be
to study the operational challenges mentioned above and other related issues if
any, which are commonly affecting the states in WR and suggest acceptable
solutions and put up to the next WRPC meeting so that the matter may be put up to
the Commission as a Region, if required.
It was decided that the group shall be as follows:
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 43
1) All CE, State SLDCs
2) NTPC
3) All CE, Discom / Holding company if required
4) Any other member as required during discussions
CE, SLDC MSETCL shall be convenor.
A meeting was convened by CE SLDC Maharashtra at SLDC Kalwa on 22.04.2015.
CE SLDC may give presentation on the outcome of the meeting.
TCC: CE, SLDC gave a presentation on the Group’s findings. The same is given atAnnex 13.
WRPC: MS WRPC informed the details of the presentation. It was earlier decidedthat a joint petition shall be filed by big states who are facing problems in DSMimplementation, with Maharashtra taking a lead. Others had agreed to join thepetition. MPPMCL had already filed the petition with the Hon’ble CERC on the sameissue. However other DISCOM in MP may join, barring of MPPMCL. It was agreedthat Maharashtra Discom can file a joint petition with CERC. Financial charges shallbe shared by the concerned utilitiesWRPC agreed.

Transmission Charges & losses dated 01.04.2015
Brief on the Amendment is given below
1. Terms deleted from all sections of the Regulation:
Peak and Off peak hours scenarios.
Network Truncation
Uniform Charging method
2. Application period ie ‘period of application of these charges’ is now for
3months duration. (eg. Apr-Jun, July –Sep, Oct-Dec, Jan-Mar.)
3. Approved injection (MW)-( for an Application Period) is now defined as the
maximum injection made during the corresponding application period for the last
3yrs.
4. Approved withdrawal (MW)(for an Application Period) is now defined as the
actual peak met during corresponding application period of last 3yrs.
5. DIC :(User of any segment of ISTS viz generator, STU/SEB, Load) Now it also
includes any intra state entity who has obtained MTOA or LTA to ISTS and are
connected to either STU or ISTS or both .
6. In addition to injection/withdrawal PoC, two more new charges have been
introduced.
(1) HVDC Charges and
(2) Reliability Support Charge
7. Additional norms are defined for data submission to Implementing Agency (IA)
Nodal generation data (forecast based) by the DICs (for an application
period)Forecast demand data by the DICs (for an application period)For a given
application period the IA would compute the Approved Injection / Withdrawal
based on last 3 yrs. actual fig. & same will be validated by the VC Difference b/w
the fig. given by the DIC & those computed by IA have to be explained reasonably
by the DIC Mis-declaration by a DIC ( beyond +/- 20% ) for 2 consecutive quarters
– Treated as Gaming & to be reported to CERC.
8. ‘Network truncation’ is no more allowed and Hybrid methodology shall be
applied by the IA on the Basic network to determine Transmission charges
(Injection & Withdrawal PoC rate) and Loss allocation factor (LAF).
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 46
9. There shall be 9 slab rates for PoC rate (in Rs./MW/Month) as well as PoC
Loss (in %).
10.Recovery of transmission (YTC) based on both Hybrid and Uniform charges
stands amended.
Recovery of YTC will now be done in 3 parts PoC Charges ( Calculated based on
hybrid methodology) Reliability support charges ( RSC to recover 10% of YTC)
HVDC charges 10% of YTC shall be through Reliability Support Charge sharing
methodology. This charge shall be determined separately and shall not mixed with
Zonal PoC rates.
11.Now onwards losses also shall be apportioned to each DIC through Hybrid
methodology only.
Earlier 50% was through Hybrid and 50% through uniform loss allocation
mechanism Now there will be 9 slabs of Loss ( 4 steps above & 4 steps below the
average loss %) Step size = 0.25 % ( Min Loss = 0%)Slabs to be reviewed by
CERC after 2 years.
Any ISGS connected to 400kV ISTS system ( including those connected to ISTS
& STU) shall be treated as a separate Zone.
12.Merchant Power Plant: New definition introduced Whose tariff is neither
determined as per sec-62 or sec-63 of the Act & who sells entire capacity in the
open market. For Merchant power plants connected to ISTS with zero LTA or part
LTA, injection considered in Base case or LTA which ever is higher shall be
considered to arrive at PoC injection rate.
13. In case commissioning (CoD) of a generating unit is delayed, the generator
shall be liable to pay withdrawal charges corresponding to the LTA granted &
withdrawal charges shall be @ average withdrawal PoC rate of the target region.
14.Before CoD & Commencement of LTA when a Generating station draws start-
up power or injects infirm power its liable to payWithdrawal PoC charge for drawal
of start-up power (as per actual quantum of W/D) Injection PoC charge for infirm
injection (as per actual quantum of injection. )(The amount collected through this
shall be adjusted against YTC for next application period)

ITEM NO.21: PERFORMANCE OF WR GRID DURING FEBRUARY 2015 TOJUNE 2015
21.1 SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
Frequency:During months of February 2015, March 2015, April 2015, May 2015 & June
2015 the grid operated in the IEGC frequency range of 49.9 Hz to 50.05 Hz for
60.15 %, 58.47 %, 60.20%, 64.74 % and 65.01 % of time respectively. The
frequencies below 49.9 Hz were from 12.30 % to 17.77 % of time during
February 2015 to June 2015. In higher frequency regime, system frequency
remained above 50.05 Hz from 19.44 % to 27.55 % of time during February
2015 to June 2015. The monthly average frequency was 50.00 Hz in February
2015 , 49.98 Hz in March 2015, 49.99 Hz in April 2015, 49.98 Hz in May 2015
& 50.00 Hz in June 2015.
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 54
The detail of frequency profile for the months of during February 2015 to June
2015 is placed at Annexure-21.1(a).
Demand :
The maximum unrestricted demand of Western Region was in the range of
42600 MW to 43580 MW(Ex Bus) in during February 2015 to June 2015. The
region faced capacity shortage in the range of 200 MW to 725 MW (peak
deficit of 0.50 to 2.00 %) respectively during these months. The details of
unrestricted peak demand, demand met and energy requirement and
availability are as furnished at Annexure-21.1 (b).
21.2 Voltage Profile
Overall voltage profile had been satisfactory during the period under review.
However, instances of high voltages beyond the IEGC specified operating
range were observed at some of the EHV sub-stations in the region. Higher
voltages in the range of 421 kV to 440 kV were noted at Indore, Itarsi, Karad,
Dhule, Kasor, Bhilai, Jetpur, Bina, Gwalior, Nagda and Khandwa substations.
To contain high voltages WRLDC resorted to opening of lightly loaded EHV
lines on certain days. The detail of voltages at important 400 kV and 765 kV
sub-stations during the period of during February 2015 to June 2015 is placed
at Annexure- 21.2. In order to control incidences of high voltages during low
load periods, installation of reactors at following locations as planned by
various utilities is in the process as per following schedule:

MS WRPC informed that M/s RattanIndia Power Limited vide letter
RPL/WRPC/15-16/006 dated 09th April, 2015(copy enclosed at Annexure-25)
have requested for inclusion of RattanIndia Power Limited as a member of
WRPC.
Government of India, under the provision of Section 2 (55) of the Electricity Act
2003 vide its resolution F. No.23/1/2004-R&R dated 25th May 2005,
amendment dated 29th Nov.2005 and subsequent amendment dated 9th May
2008 has established the WRPC. As per the resolution, a representative from
every generating company which has established a generating station more
than 1000MW in Western Region shall qualify to become member of WRPC.
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 61
The RattanIndia Power Ltd(RPL), , Maharashtra successfully commissioned
the 5 units of generating capacity 270 MW each at Amaravati and one unit of
capacity 270 MW at Nasik(total 1620MW) w.e.f. 13.03.2015.
Accordingly, RattanIndia Power Ltd(RPL). may be included as a
member of WRPC representing the Generating companies with more than
1000 MW generation capacity from the year 2015-16 onwards.
TCC/WRPC: MS WRPC informed that M/s RattanIndia Ltd qualifies for
membership. Generally the practice followed in WR, is to get the approval from
Chairperson, WRPC for new members who qualify for membership. The
present Chairperson WRPC desired that the membership should be approved
by WRPC after the qualifications of criteria is checked by the WRPC
Secretariat. Hence MS WRPC brought the issue for the notice of WRPC.
Since M/s RattanIndia Ltd qualifies to be a member , the membership wasapproved by WRPC for 2015-16 onwards.
Item No SA-1: CONFIRMATION OF THE MINUTES OF THE 28TH MEETING OFWRP COMMITTEE
This is already covered in Item No 1.
ITEM No.SA-2 : INSTALLATION OF POLYMER INSULATORS ON NEWTRANSMISSION LINESGM(Asset Management), PGCIL Gudgaon vide letter dated 13.07.2015
intimated that number of trippings of transmission lines in Western Region
take place due to flashover across porcelain/antifog disc type insulators due to
environmental pollution which is dynamically changing over a period of time.
Considering high number of trippings due to flashover of insulator in Northern
region, NRPC during its 30th meeting held on 28th Feb, 2014 approved that “ in
future all new transmission lines in plain areas would be built with polymer
insulators only and also existing anti-fog insulators would be replaced with
polymer insulators in phased manner” (Extract enclosed as Annexure-I)
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 62
In line with above, it is suggested that members may deliberate adoption of
suitable policy for Western Region for installation of polymer insulators in
existing as well as new lines.
TCC : Beneficiaries were of the view that the above work may be taken up by
PGCIL through their own funding or under O&M. PGCIL agreed to do it.
However deemed availability for outage during the replacement may be given.
MPPMCL informed that this part of the agenda had come late and requires his
management approval. GETCO informed that as per their state regulation, this
type of work is under renovation and moderation and the utility gets deemed
availability. Position as per CERC regulation may be taken by WRPC.
WRPC : Director (O) stressed that the above replacement would improve the
reliability which would benefit the beneficiaries. He informed that in NR the
replacement has resulted in no fog related tripping.
Regarding the outages for planning, OCC shall co-ordinate the same.
Regarding the deemed availability PGCIL requested to consider this for system
improvement category. Also if availability increases beyond 99.75% due to the
above being considered as deemed availability, they are willing to restrict the
same to 99.75%
MS WRPC informed that as per regulatory provisions the availability shall be
given to the extent under system improvement, after confirming the practices
followed in other regions.
WRPC noted.
ITEM No.SA-3 : ALLOCATION OF URS FROM CGPL UNITS:
CE, SLDC Gujarat intimated that at present, all the Central and State
generating stations are governed by the tariff regulations of the respective
commissions. Their beneficiaries are allowed to change their schedule for the
un-requisitioned quantum of power from one beneficiary (ies) to another
beneficiary (ies) of the same power station on the requisition by any of these
beneficiaries through the provision provided in the IEGC. In case the original
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 63
beneficiary requests back for its share of power, then its schedule and
schedule of beneficiary who had availed URS power would be revised as per
the provisions of IEGC.
However, it is observed that the URS of NR constituents in CGPL is not being
scheduled to Gujarat in line with the above procedure when there was acute
shortage of power. The theme behind the reallocation of URS is to utilize
resources in the best possible / in an optimum way.
The issue of allocation of URS from CGPL in line with other Central Sector
NTPC units was discussed in the 27th WRPC meeting held at Bhopal on
22.11.2014. The Chairperson WRPC informed that though the petition of URS
with Sasan will take its time to be resolved by the Hon’ble Commission, there
are numerous instances where URS can be availed with these two existing
and working UMPPs in the Western Region for which we must consider doing
something in the interim period.
The matter was again discussed in the 69th CCM held on 23.01.2015;
however, GM, WRLDC stated that they don’t agree for scheduling UMPP
power under URS and stated that the beneficiaries have to avail STOA for the
same. This is quite illogical considering the fact that for availing the URS
power, why at all any beneficiary requests the same on STOA and pay undue
transmission charges.
The matter was again discussed in the 28th WRPC meeting. It was felt that
due to the stand taken by WRLDC, it would be necessary to wait for the order
in Sasan URS case. However, the order in the Sasan URS case is yet to come
and pending since long. And due to want of the order in the said matter, it
would not be appropriate to hold the scheduling of URS from CGPL as
represented by all the procurers.
TCC: Beneficiaries agreed for URS from CGPL and requested WRLDC tocommence scheduling URS power.
WRPC: MS WRPC informed that while WR beneficiaries are in agreement for
URS from CGPL, however since CGPL has NR side beneficiaries, he shall
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 64
take up with the NR counterpart and upon considering their views URS of
CGPL can be started.
WRPC agreed.
ITEM NO. SA-4 :SCHEMES APPROVED IN THE 38TH SCM OF WR HELDON 17.07.15 AT NEW DELHI:
POWERGRID vide email dated 21.07.2015 have requested to include
following two items approved in the 38th SCM held on 17.07.2015, pending
release of MoM of 38th SCM for timely implementation.
SA-4.1 : LAYING OF CABLE IN DGEN-VADODARA 400 KV D/C LINE ATDGEN END :
Regarding laying of cable in DGEN-Vadodara 400 kV D/C line at DGEN end,
GETCO was of the view that the scheme cannot be awarded as due diligence
was not done as per procedure to look for all options. GETCO has not given go
ahead to CTU for implementation of 400 kV, 125 MVAR bus reactor at 765/400
kV Vadodara substation to compensate reactive power due to proposed laying
of 3 km cable in DGEN- Vadodara 400 kV D/C line at DGEN end.
CEA vide letter dated 07.04.2015 has furnished clarifications to GETCO giving
details of the deliberations done among CEA, CTU, GIDC and Torrent Energy
Limited to arrive at the decision for provision of cable in DGEN- Vadodara 400
kV D/C line. The matter was further discussed in the 38th SCM and approved.
As the same was now approved in SCM, the matter is now closed.
TCC/WRPC noted.
SA-4.2 : MODIFICATION IN TRANSFORMATION CAPACITY AT ITARSI S/S :
In the 37th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of WR
held on 05.9.2014, MPPTCL proposal of an additional 1x315 MVA, 400/220kV
transformer along with two nos. of 220 kV bays at Itarsi (PG) 400/220 kV S/s,
to ensure the reliability of supply to 220 kV substations around Itarsi and Betul
area was agreed.
Minutes of 29th meeting of WRPC held on 24.07.2015 at Aurangabad 65
POWER GRID vide their letter no. C/CTU/W/Itarsi dated 23.03.2015 has
proposed that rating of additional (2nd ) ICT to be installed at Itrasi be revised
to 500MVA instead of 315MVA, as the cost of 400/220kV ICT of 500MVA and
315MVA is generally of same order.
The above was further discussed in the 38th SCM and the proposal of 500MVA
ICT instead of 315 MVA additional (2nd) ICT to be installed at Itrasi, was
approved.
TCC/WRPC noted.
ITEM No. 26: ANY OTHER ITEM
ITEM No. 27: DATE AND VENUE OF NEXT WRPC MEETING:
MS WRPC informed that next WRPC meeting hosting is to be hosted by Jindal
Power somewhere in November 2015 preferably at Bhubaneshwar.

Report on pump mode operation of Kadana Hydro units
In 467th OCC meeting of WRPC held on 16.01.15 at WRPC, Mumbai, it was decided that
SLDC-Gujarat would update latest status regarding capability of pump mode operation of
hydro units of Kadana Hydro plant (4 x 60 MW). Also, the General Manager, WRLDC vide
letter No. WRLDC/SO/137 dated 05.02.15 informed that CEA report titled “Large Scale
Grid Integration of Renewable Energy Sources - Way Forward” issued in Nov-13 says
that 4 x 60 MW units of Kadana Hydro plant Stage - 1 & 2 in Gujarat are capable of
operating in pumped storage mode. The report indicates that the facility is presently not
working and it recommends as under:
“The vibration problem in Kadana PSP (240 MW) also needs to be resolved”
Presently, the installed capacity of wind generation is 3500 MW. Many times, it is
observed that the wind generation during night hours remains on higher side and the
system demand remains on lower side. In such conditions, there is a heavy under drawl
during night hours which is penalized under recent Deviation Settlement regulation of
Hon’ble CERC. Also, the system faces high voltage issues many times. It leads to tripping
of 400 KV lines connected to Wanakbori Thermal Power Station. The generation schedule
from Kadana Hydro units is based on irrigation requirement. During peak hous in winter
and summer season, the KHPS generation is limited to only one unit. In such conditions,
the costly gas generation has been scheduled in open cycle for meeting peak demand.
Looking to all these, the capability of pump mode operation will play vital role in power
system operation.
To know updated status and to explore feasibility of Kadana units in pump mode
operation, Shri. D. B. Joshi, SE (OP), SLDC, Shri. B. M. Shah, DE, SLDC and Shri K. G.
Patel, DE, Corporate Office, GSECL visited Kadana Hydro plant on 21.02.15. The team
verified past records of pump mode operation also. The chronological summaries of past
records are as under:
A meeting was held on 30.08.03 with M/s. BHEL representative. In the meeting, it was
decided that M/s. BHEL would send the team to ensure readiness of all the units for pump
mode operation. If required, they would call experts from M/s. SKODA for overall
Page 2 of 3
supervision. Also, M/s. BHEL would identify the spares requirement. They would check
and ensure control, instrumentation and protection requirement. Thereafter,
commissioning of the pump mode operation would be carried out. Accordingly, the joint
inspection of all four units had been carried out in the month of Sept-03. They had listed
out further works to be carried out before commissioning of pump mode operation.
Various works / activities had been performed jointly by the team of M/s. BHEL, M/s.
SKODA and GEB between 20.02.04 and 08.04.04. They had updated the status
regarding commissioning and operational status of pump mode operation to GEB
management on 09.04.04.
In their observation, it was mentioned that the trial of all four machines under pump mode
operation was taken. Unit No. 3 & 4 tripped on turbine guide bearing temperature high. In
the meeting, GEB requested M/s. BHEL to intimate the vibration limit for operation of
pump mode. Also, it was noted that acceptance of commissioning of pump mode
operation would be considered successful after seven Nos. of successful trials through
auto sequence from control room. At least one trial should be more than 05 hours and
rest for minimum 03 hours of continuous run. It was also mentioned that it is desirable to
maintain TRC level between 78 meters to 81.5 meters. It was mentioned that there was a
considerable heating of reactors and therefore, enclosure works need to be done. There
was structural vibration observed in all units at the generator floor and to be got analyzed
at appropriate level. Also, it was mentioned that the reliability and consistency of safe
operation in pump mode was yet to be established and high level of vibration in pump
mode operation was to be rectified for prolonged use in safe condition.
On 24.06.04, the Officer on Special Duty at KHPS reported that they may run pump mode
operation of any unit at any time without support of M/s. BHEL. As per the record of pump
mode operation of all four units, the maximum vibration horizontal at turbine guide bearing
for Unit No. 3 was on higher side. M/s. BHEL had recommended that maximum 50 micron
vibration shall be allowed at bearing (Horizontal).
On 07.03.06, the Engineer-In-Charge, KHPS informed that there are certain constraints /
limitations in operating units on pump mode.
Vibrations of the order of 12 to 15 microns are observed at power dam during
pump mode operation of Unit No. 1 & 2.
Page 3 of 3
Unit No. 3 tripped frequently on rotor earth fault. Also, 6 Nos. of slip rings insulated
bolts were found puncture.
When the machine was running in pump mode, initially, 16000 Amp eddy current in
reactor was developed and it was to be controlled as per the guidelines of SKODA
engineers.
Since October - 2005, no unit of KHPS was operated on pump mode. Hence, it is utmost
necessary to carry out inspection of units one by one in presence of OEM to put pump
mode operation at KHPS in service. The recommendations of OEM regarding spares /
modifications / rectifications shall be taken into account to reestablish pump mode
operation. Also, study shall be carried out to access allowable vibration limit of Dam
structure as well as vibration (horizontal) at turbine guide bearing of each unit. The matter
shall be taken up with the irrigation authority to maintain down stream reservoir level
situated at Dolatpur. The comprehensive proposal shall be placed in PSDF by GSECL
Corporate Office. If requires.
It was discussed during 468th OCC meeting of WRPC held on 16.02.15 that 2 x 125 MW
units at Ghatghar Hydro power station in Maharashtra are capable of operating in pump
mode and are being operated in pump mode. Therefore, it is suggested that a team of
experts from GSECL shall visit Ghatghar HPS and have a detailed deliberation with the
authorities there so that they can explore the feasibilities of sustainable operation of
KHPS units on pump mode at the earliest.

1.0 Background Hon’ble CERC had issued an order on regulation for Deviation Settlement Mechanism (DSM) 06th Jan, 2014. The DSM mechanism is in place of Unscheduled Interchange (UI) Regulation. The DSM regulation is implemented w. e. f. 17th Feb, 2014. Before implementation of DSM, Hon’ble CERC had called comments and suggestions all constituents. Accordingly most of the stack holders has represented to Hon’ble CERC regarding difficulties envisaged during actual implementation of mechanism due to volume cap of +/- 150 MW on deviation. Managing Director, GETCO has pointed out their views to Central Electricity Authority and Hon’ble CERC on implementation of DSM on 12th Feb, 2014 i.e. before actual implementation of mechanism. The views pointed out in above communication are representative views of all states in western Region. The letter is placed at Annexure ”A” Further, Managing Director, GETCO has again pointed out their view and operational experiences of DSM Mechanism to The Chairman, CERC on 10th Nov 2014, reiterating the same views on DSM mechanism. The letter is placed at Annexure ”B” Madhya Pradesh Power Management Company Limited (MPPMCL) made a representation dated 14.2.2014 to the Commission regarding Regulation 7 of the Deviation Settlement Mechanism Regulations, particularly pertaining to the limits on deviation volume and the consequences of crossing the limits MPPMCL also filed a Writ Petition No. 3125 of 2014 in the Hon'ble High Court of Madhya Pradesh, Jabalpur on 18.2.2014 challenging Regulation 7 of the Deviation Settlement Mechanism. Hon'ble High Court in its order dated 21.2.2014 issued the notice to the Commission and directed to decide the representation of the petitioner. 1.1 Abstract from discussions in WRPC meetings.
Minutes of meeting of 27th TCC/WRPC held on 21st & 22nd November 2014 at Bhopal The DSM violates basic principle of one penalty for single violation. If an entity under draws at frequency 50.10 Hz and above, it do not get a single paisa for the entire under drawl energy, however a penalty of Rs 1.78/kwh is levied on the entire volume. The Hon’ble Commission may be requested to address this issue to avoid multiple penalties for single deviation.
Constituents were of the view that the charges (capping & additional charges) have been substantially increased which is resulting in heavy penalization to DISCOMS. CE (SLDC) MP
Report on operational experience of DSM Mechanism and financial impact on state DISCOMs
Page 3
stated that the amount of capping and additional charges has increased many folds, since the inception of DSM as compared to the capping and additional charges in the UI regime. Other major concern raised by the beneficiaries was the limit of volume set to +/- 150 MW or 12% whichever is less, irrespective of the utility size. Beneficiaries were of view that the limit of volume should be w.r.t. the % of schedule and not in MW terms. A volume limit of 10-12% of schedule would be a fair limit. There are also penalties even if the state is helping the power system by under drawing at low frequencies.
Chairman WRPC suggested that since all the constituents have more or less same grievances on the issue. 150 MW is too small a deviation and keeping it at 12% or 150 MW or higher (instead of lower) does not appear to have a major negative impact on the grid. He suggested that if other constituents are interested and having grievances they may like to consider joining the petition.
Minutes of 28th meeting of WRPC held on 4.03.2015 at Udaipur MD, MSETCL suggested that a group comprising of representatives from all states be formed and study the problems faced during DSM and suggest the solutions in the next WRPC meeting. If there are difficulties experienced in DSM during operation for many states, then as a region it is necessary to represent the case and also point out acceptable solutions.
TCC recommended the same. It was decided that the Scope of the Group would be to study the operational challenges mentioned above and other related issues if any, which are commonly affecting the states in WR and suggest acceptable solutions and put up to the next WRPC meeting so that the matter may be put up to the Commission as a Region, if required. 1.2 Petition filed by Tripura State Electricity Corporation before CERC Hon'ble CERC heard the petitioner petition filed by Tripura State Electricity Corporation Limited (TSECL) also heard from MPPMCL on identical grievances on implementation of DSM. Hon. CERC had issued an order dated 20.02.2015 on petition filed by TSECL and issued order giving relief to small states, however had not passed any relief to the grievances put forth by MPPMCL. From the order issued by Hon’ble CERC, it is clear that no relief extended to big constituents. The relevant abstract of the order is as under.
“Provided further that when the schedule is less than or equal to 400 MW, the additional charges for deviation shall be based on percentage of deviation worked out with reference to schedule of 400 MW”
Report on operational experience of DSM Mechanism and financial impact on state DISCOMs
Page 4
Form the order it is clear that relaxation on cap volume for large states is not considered by Hon’ble CERC. Hence, issue of difficulties in effective implementation of DSM regulation is still remains unaddressed.

2.0 Formation of Committee MD, MSETCL during 28th WRPC meeting, pointed the bigger states like Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat etc. face a lot of practical difficulties in restricting the deviations within limit of +/- 150 MW under DSM. However the representations with the Hon’ble CERC have been on individual basis (as only MP has approached the Commission). If there are difficulties experienced in DSM during operation for many states, then as a region it is necessary to represent the case and also point out acceptable solutions. He pointed out the following difficulties faced by Maharashtra in DSM:
1. Maharashtra system is having Maximum demand 20000 MW is met by around 14000 MW State generation and Central sector share of 6000 MW.
2. The deviation limit at the periphery as specified in the DSM regulation is 12% of share or +/-150 MW whichever is very meager as compared to the volume of power handled by state network.
3. For the larger states like Maharashtra, Gujrat, Madhya Pradesh, to maintain the deviation of +/-150 MW over a time block of 15 min. is practically difficult as demand is distributed in large geographical area. Also, unforeseen climatic factors and renewable generation in the state are affecting the demand pattern. All available resources are rescheduled continuously to remain in band.
4. Impact of Renewable Energy: The renewable energy particularly wind faces lot of uncertainties. The quantum of wind has gone up in Maharashtra. These variations are far above 150 MW limits prescribed. The RRF mechanism is suspended. In these conditions, the State is unnecessarily burdened with DSM penalties. There is a need for a group to be formed to discuss and suggest solutions.
5. Failure of Communication links: In January 2015, there were instances when the major communication links failed. Under these conditions, the State was asked to back down generation. With frequency being low, the DSM penalties were very high, as it turned out from the energy meter readings that the State was not actually under drawing as seen from the SCADA in absence of links, but was overdrawing. There should be provisions in the DSM to mitigate penalties in such cases where state is asked by WRLDC to back down and links are not fully present.
6. Need for Redundancy in links: There is a need to increase the redundancy in communication links in a phased manner so that the above point does not repeat and cause financial implications.
7. Too small margins: Apart from the RRF factor, the margin of 150 MW for states with demand like 20,000 MW in Maharashtra case, and central shares around 5000-5500 MW is too small to curtail the deviations and seriously requires to be enhanced.
8. Infirm power: New generating units injecting infirm during testing, commissioning and during trial run also cause deviations as this power is not scheduled.

MD, MSETCL suggested that a group comprising of representatives from all states be formed and study the problems faced during DSM and suggest the solutions in the next WRPC meeting. If there are difficulties experienced in DSM during operation for many states, then as a region it is necessary to represent the case and also point out acceptable solutions. TCC recommended the suggestion by Maharashtra and it was decided that the group of the Western Region constituents would study the operational challenges mentioned above and other related issues if any, which are commonly affecting the states in Western Region and to suggest acceptable solutions and put up to the next WRPC meeting so that the matter may be put up to the Commission as a Region, if required. WRPC agreed to the recommendation of TCC as above. During WRPC meeting, it was decided that the group shall comprise of following representation:
` 1) All Chief Engineers of State LDCs 2) Representative from NTPC 3) Officer of the rank of Chief Engineer, from DISCOMs / Holding company if required 4) Any other member as required during discussions
The Chief Engineer, MSLDC shall be convener of committee and outcome of the discussions and deliberations shall be reported during next WRPC meeting. Accordingly, the Chief Engineer, MSLDC called representation from all constituents and a meeting of the group members was held on 22/04/2015 at MSLDC Kalwa. Based on the deliberations, suggestions and submission from members received during this meeting, this report is being submitted.

3.0 Committee proceedings Maharashtra has taken up the issue of DSM limit in various WRPC OCCM and WRPC meetings. The views of all WR constituents are similar and there is unanimous opinion to enhance the limit of +/- 150 MW on state deviation. It is also worthwhile to mention that system operator is continuously engaged in maintaining state drawl schedule and issuing re-dispatch instructions to all intra-state generators and revisions of ISGS schedules. The fact that system operator is continuously engaged in maintaining state drawl schedule leads to divert attention from prime duty of system operator from maintain loading parameters in intra-state network for assuring grid security and integral operation of network. The discipline of maintaining state drawl as per schedule cannot be ignored; however, the grid operations are commercially driven. This result in deterioration of thermal generating units due to ever changing dispatch schedule for pick up and back down instructions frequently. The system operator takes various actions to maintain load generation balance of control area to maintain state deviation within limit. Various corrective measures adopted during under drawl / over drawl are as under.
Under Drawl condition 1. Withdrawal of load shedding, if already in force including supply to Agriculture
Consumers. 2. Reduction of intra-state hydro generation to minimum level. 3. Operation of pumped hydro generating units in pumping mode. 4. Downward revision of inter-state ISGS schedule by as per combined merit order
stack with intra-state generating units. 5. Backing down of intra-state generating units as per combined merit order stack
to their technical minimum. 6. Reserve shut down of ISGS & InSGS units observing the trend of demand pattern. 7. Even if the under drawl is not under control and RE injection is on higher side,
then curtailment of RE injection.
It is observed that even after taking all above steps there are difficulties faced by system operator to control under drawl especially during demand crash scenario.
Over Drawl condition
1 Upward revision of ISGS generating units as per combined merit order stack with intra-state generating units.
2 Pickup of all intra-state thermal generating units to their maximum declared capacity and revision schedules to that effect.
3 Increase intra-state hydro generation as per requirement. Hydro generation is picked up to maximum level during persistent over drawl condition.
Report on operational experience of DSM Mechanism and financial impact on state DISCOMs
Page 8
4 Utilization pumped storage units in generation mode. 5 Implementation of planed load shedding all over the state as per protocol
approved by SERC. 6 Instruction to carry out emergency load shedding by opening of 33/22/11 KV
feeders as per protocol which is already in place and well circulated at sub stations in the field.
Even if over drawl is not under control by taking above measures then there are identified 132 / 220 KV radial feeders which are opened on instruction of system operator. From all above measures system operator continuously takes efforts to maintain state drawl within limit of +/-150 MW. The demand variation in peak & off peak, in different seasons is of the order of 6000-8000 MW which is almost 30-40% of peak demand in case of Maharashtra. It is worthwhile to mention here that Maharashtra is having variable hydro generating capacity about 2500 MW which includes Koyna, TPC Hydro and Ghatghar pump storage. Despite of this variable hydro capacity, sometimes it is inadequate to exercise precise control on state drawl. It is easy to appreciate that the constituents who do not have adequate controllable hydro at their disposal faces more difficulties in regulating their deviations. Maharashtra has carried out extensive analysis of deviations during the period 01st April, 2014 to 31st March, 2015. The data used for analysis is from ABT meter data used for Regional Energy Accounting weekly bills. The data pertaining to schedule & drawl for 35040 time blocks for the period 01st April, 2014 to 31st March, 2015 is analyzed. Following are few highlights of the analysis:
1. Under Drawl below 150 MW is for 60 % of time blocks and 1321 MUs. 2. Under Drawl within the range of 0 to 150 MW is for 6 % of time blocks and 131 MUs. 3. Over Drawl within the range of 0 to 150 MW is for 5 % of time blocks and 106 MUs. 4. Over Drawl within the range of 150 to 200 MW is for 3 % of time blocks and 69 MUs. 5. Over Drawl within the range of 200 to 250 MW is for 3 % of time blocks and 74 MUs. 6. Over Drawl above 250 MW is for 23 % of time blocks and 515 MUs.
As per DSM regulation every constituent has to change sign of drawl after ever 12 time blocks and failure do so, accounts for IEGC violation. The analysis of the data shows that Maharashtra was able to change the sign of drawl after 12 time blocks 1541 times as against 2920 times in one year. This indicates that 53 % times sign change was possible in year 2014-15. Maharashtra also shared commercial impact on state during April 2014 to March 2015 as under:
a. Unscheduled interchange charges of Rs. 122.84Cr. is receivable.
Report on operational experience of DSM Mechanism and financial impact on state DISCOMs
Page 9
b. Amount payable due to cap on UI is Rs. 166.22Cr. c. Additional UI Charges payable as part of penalty is Rs. 101.07 Cr.
It can be seen that UI charges even being receivable as Rs. 122.84 Cr. had end up with Rs. 144.45 Cr. payable. State DISCOMs are facing heavy commercial loss due to capping and additional UI charges which applicable for deviation beyond +/- 150 MW. The failure of the constituent to abide by deviation limits of DSM regulation even after continuous efforts cannot be considered as failure of system operator, but it is has limitations due to ever changing demand pattern and also inadvertent variations of generating units in control area as well as outside control area. The views expressed by Gujrat are on the identical views on following points:
1) Impact of Renewable penetration in grid – Gujrat and Maharashtra are having large quantity of renewable generation installed in state. Maharashtra has renewable installation of the order of 4400 MW with RE injection of the order of 2500 MW in monsoon season. These states are experiencing variation of injection of the order of 1000 to 1500 MW. System operator is totally constrained due to MUST RUN status of renewable and control of over drawl / under drawl within 150 MW limit is actually next to impossible in such operating scenario.
2) Merchant capacity private players play significant role in drawl schedule of the state, many times drawl schedule changes even by 500 MW in consecutive time blocks.
3) More than 200 Open Access users & quantum of transaction is more than 800 MW,
their change in injection / drawl schedule directly affect the state drawl schedule at inter-state boundary.
4) New generators having capacity more than 250 MW are being added to the system
and their infirm generation impacts of state drawl as these generators are not scheduled before COD.
5) The generating units of the capacity 500 / 660 / 800 MW are operating in the state
and tripping such generating unit has direct impact on the drawl of the state. The views expressed by Madhya Pradesh are as below:
1) Tripping of State generator selling power through collective transactions, no revision
is envisaged for collective transaction. Hence, tripping leads state under violation of
Report on operational experience of DSM Mechanism and financial impact on state DISCOMs
Page 10
DSM. Therefore, in such a case, no penalty to be imposed on State for violation of conditions under DSM.
2) As per IEGC clause No. 6.5.19, in case of tripping of the State generator selling power through inter-state bilateral, only one revision is allowed. Original schedule would be made effective from the estimated time (as declared by the generator) of the restoration of the unit. In case, generator doesn’t come on bar as per scheduled time then it leads State under violation of DSM. Generator to be allowed for more than one revision for such a case.
3) At present, RRF mechanism is only limited to scheduling and forecasting of RE
generators. Commercial mechanism outline in RRF mechanism is suspended till further order. In absence of commercial settlement, it has lost its sanctity. New proposed CERC framework for scheduling forecasting and imbalance handling for RE generators to be made effective as early as possible.
4) Accordingly, State should be exempted for violation due to RE variation.
5) At present, grid consists of many 800 MW/660 MW/500 MW capacity generating
units. Tripping of any unit leads immediate violation of DSM. Generator tripping is inevitable. Hence, for such a force major reason there should not be any penalty on state for DSM violation.
For the States having higher demand the DSM limits +/- 150 becomes merely below 1%. No tools are available in INDIA having forecasting error within 1%. Hence, there should be reasonable deviation band to cover forecasting errors.
CERC order No. L-7/139(159)/2008 dated 22.04.2013 in the matter of approval of amendments to the detailed procedure for relieving congestion in real time operation, Annexure-1 (Detailed procedure for relieving congestion in real time operation) clause No. 3.11.1 is reproduced as under. 3.11.1. Two percent (2%) of the total anticipated peak demand met in MW of the control
area/group of control area/region (to account for forecasting uncertainties) Above clause clearly indicates/accepts the forecasting uncertainty as 2% and this level error in forecasting can be achieved only proper forecasting tool with sufficient historical demand data, meteorological parameters and sufficiently accurate weather forecast is available as input data to the forecasting tool. Presently, no state is equipped with such sophisticated forecasting tool. Hence, apparently considering the State Peak demand of big states of the order of 14000 to 20000 MW, forecasting error is much higher that DSM limit of +/-150 MW.
Report on operational experience of DSM Mechanism and financial impact on state DISCOMs
Page 11
The deviation limit specified under DSM mechanism is very low and it almost impracticable to maintain drawl within limit due to dynamics and ever changing demand pattern on demand side. Frequent variation of intra-state resources as detailed above on other side, system operator is facing much difficulties in maintaining state deviation within band of +/- 150 MW due to inherent system dynamics. From all above facts/submission by all western region constituents it is crystal clear that the deviation limit prescribed by DSM regulation is not practically achievable. Also, the question remains that why this fact was not brought out in early stages of DSM implementation. The reason behind that all constituents had already submitted their comments/suggestions in response to the concept paper published by CERC, however cognizance of the same had not been taken at the time of issue of DSM regulation. This is to mention here that Statement of Reasons (SoR) was not published at the time of notification of regulation. Further, all constituents have honored this regulation and put maximum and sincere efforts to abide by the provisions of the regulation. However, it is the fact that even after taking sincere efforts it not possible to abide by deviation limits. The issues faced by constituents were discussed at regional forum and finally arrived at the conclusion that issue needs to be referred jointly to Hon’ble CERC. Other related issue of monitoring of Drawl of constituents by RLDC. RLDC monitors drawl of all constituents against their respective schedules and issue notices on the basis of drawl figure available on RLDC - SCADA system. Actual drawl of constituents is arithmetic summation SCADA data of different drawl points. Computation of actual drawl is summation of more than 60 to 70 nos. of instantaneous MW values from various locations. This data comprises of data from ISGS - RTUs and also from data from STU RTUs. Most of the time correct data of all interface points are not available and many values are non-current / invalid due to various reasons including communication failure. System operation is carried out on SCADA data and billing is carried out on the basis of ABT meter data. It is observation of all constituents that drawl data do not match with each other and there is wide variation in these data sets. The SCADA error is mis-leading to system operator for taking decisions on control action in maintaining deviation within limit of 150 MW and resulting in wastage of resources followed by huge financial impact in actual billing being post facto activity based on meter data.

In the order, in petition filed with CERC by Tripura in case No. RP/06/2014 clause no 18(n) it is mentioned that “As per SCADA data MP had to receive about `9.00 Crore but as per actual UI accounts, MP was payable by 5.31 Crore” All constituents are facing problem of monitoring actual drawl data computed on the basis SCADA inputs from all interface points. RLDCs are in process for acquisition of ABT meter data from all inter-state/ inter-region interface points under Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) scheme. ABT meters are compatible for transmission of instantaneous MW data at fixed interval. Acquisition of instantaneous MW data from interface meters and computing drawl of constituents will give correct drawl figures in addition to SCADA data. This data also can be made available to constituents for reference.

Proposal for consideration After detail deliberations and from the submission of all Western Region constituents, the committee proposes DSM limits as below: Part A : Proposed Deviation Limits
1. Schedule below 400 MW : 48 MW. ( Already approved by Hon’ble CERC) 2. Schedule between 401 to1250 MW : 12 % or 150 MW whichever is lower. 3. Schedule between 1251 to 1500 MW : 150 MW. 4. Schedule above 1501 MW : 10 % or 400 MW whichever is lower. 5. 20 % penal charges for deviation between 401 to 500 MW 6. 40 % penal charges for deviation between 501 to 600 MW 7. 100 % penal charges for deviation above 600 MW. 8. Under drawl cap for under drawl exceeding 400 MW 9. Penal charges for under drawl above frequency 50.10 Hz for under drawl exceeding 400
MW. 10. The provision of change in drawl sign in 12 time blocks may be continued.
Part B : Data acquisition from interface ABT meters. Respective RLDCs may please be directed to acquire instantaneous MW data from interface ABT meters and computed drawl data of respective constituent on the basis of this data and shall be made available in real time. Way forward In compliance to the directives issued during 28th WRPC meeting, this report is being submitted to WRPC. WRPC may like to discuss and consider to share this report to all constituents / DISCOMs. All DISCOMs shall file a joint petition to Hon’ble CERC and SLDCs shall extend all possible help to DISCOMs. This report shall also be shared with other states in country and similar action is envisaged from other states in country.
