Summary of Deliberations:
Status of RGMO in new units: On a query NLC informed that RGMO for TS-II Expansion Units was not in
service for both the units due to technical reasons/partial loading. NLC informed that issue would be rectified and RGMO would be put in service within 15 days. SRLDC expressed grave concern that the removal of RGMO had not been intimated.
On a query NTPL informed that RGMO was not in service due to some teething issues and the issues were likely to be rectified before October 2015. RGMO would be put in service before October 2015. SRLDC stated that the generators were taking out RGMO but there was no intimation to SRLDC which was violation of IEGC provisions.
It was noted that TPCIL had committed that they would put the RGMO in service for Unit-I (RGMO was in place for Unit-II) within 15 days and the
RGMO/FGMO with MI & MVAR Interchange Meeting held on 30.09.2015 Page 5
committed date was already over. TPCIL stated that they would implement the RGMO logic during the next shut down. SRLDC/SRPC expressed that TPCIL was not putting RGMO though committed which was a matter of serious concern. SRLDC stated that they would direct TPCIL to put RGMO in service else they may be forced not to schedule STOA transactions as the Unit was not meeting the statutory requirements for COD declarations as per CEA/CERC Regulations.
On a query APGENCO informed that RGMO features for the Units of Krishnapatnam JV (SDSPP) had been taken out due to hunting. SRLDC stated that APSLDC was responsible to ensure the Regulatory compliance. SRPC/SRLDC stated that the RGMO needs to be put into service at the earliest.
SRLDC/SRPC expressed concern stating that despite regular follow up the MTPS Stage-III unit was not RGMO compliant. TNSLDC/TANGEDCO were suggested to ensure RGMO availability.
SRLDC/SRPC stated that the Coastal Energen Unit-II, NCC Units, IL&FS Unit-II, Hinduja (APSLDC), Kakatiya (TSSLDC), Singareni (TSSLDC), Bellary Unit-III (KPCL/Kar SLDC), Yeramarus (Kar SLDC), Kudgi (NTPC) etc. should come up with RGMO feature. GENCOs/SLDCs to ensure the compliance.
SRLDC stated that the units had not implemented the RGMO (taken out the RGMO due to some technical reasons etc) and thus not meeting the Regulatory compliance of CEA/CERC Regulations. They could therefore be constrained in restricting scheduling, in case RGMO is not put in place for those units.
RGMO Status point extension to SRLDC/SLDC: SRLDC informed that RGMO status point extension was pending for the
following stations:
IL&FS
NTPL IL&FS informed that RGMO status point was made available to SRLDC
and end to end configuration was to be done. NTPL informed that they were following up with PGCIL in this regard and
status would be extended soon. APSLDC informed that the works regarding status point extension from
Krishnapatnam to SLDC were under progress. SRLDC/SRPC suggested that RGMO status points of state units to be
ensured to respective SLDCs and requested the GENCOs/ SLDCs to follow up.
All the generators would validate the settings of RGMO logic to ensure the compliance of the IEGC Regulations.
All the generators would analyze the response with respect to anticipated and carry out root cause analysis and take corrective action for each and every incident.
Data validation between the state generators and the respective SLDCs and the ISGS generators and SRLDC to be continued.
RGMO/FGMO with MI & MVAR Interchange Meeting held on 30.09.2015 Page 6
SRLDC reiterated that DC declaration by generators could be made appropriately to ensure RGMO response. Load Despatch Centers could also schedule appropriately to ensure the response.
It was suggested that the STOAs should not be transacted/permitted by SLDC beyond MCR to ensure that response should be available for grid security. .
Reasons for non performance needed to be qualified with technical justification by the generators.
All technical issues needed to be taken up with OEM to ensure RGMO performance.
APGENCO informed that RGMO was getting triggered at VTPS & RYTPS on multiple instances on daily basis. SRLDC informed that they were analyzing the events through PMU data and there were not many instances which necessitated RGMO triggering. Other constituents also endorsed the SRLDC’s observation. APGENCO was suggested to look into the logic and associated issues.
All the stations should have data logging facility (up to six months) for fruitful analysis/ deliberation.
RGMO should always be in service including at technical minimum.
Intimation on taking out of RGMO needs to be intimated to SRLDC/SLDC along with reasons/revival time.
Parameters would be maintained to ensure RGMO response is available at all instances. .
SLDCs to take proactive role for RGMO implementation/monitoring.
It was noted that individual GENCOs needed to approach through petition to CERC for exemption/extension of RGMO/FGMO compliance.
As per RoP on Petition No.302/MP/2013 all the SLDCs had to furnish the report with details of RGMO/FGMO response of each generating station within their control areas and the details of having taken up the matter with respective SERC in case lack of response or inadequate response from the generating units within their respective states.
SRPC/SRLDC reiterated that SLDCs should take up with their respective State Commissions the lack of response/inadequate response of the generators of their control area.
NTPC stated that the technical difficulties needs to be addressed which would ensure response as mandated in IEGC.
Generators were expected to give response of 5% of the current generation subject to 105% of MCR and analysis was being carried out accordingly.
3.0 MVAR INTERCHANGE
Following are the salient points of the deliberations:
It was noted that Ramagundam STPS, MAPS, NTPL, Kothagudam TPS, Kakatiya TPP, Coastal Energen and UPCL had not furnished the MVAR data despite repeated follow up which was viewed with concern.

After deliberations following action plan was recommended:
All other stations to ensure their GT Tap positions are optimized so as to bring Grid Voltages to Nominal values.
It was viewed with concern that Kaiga GS had not changed the tap despite regular pursuance and all the adjoining utilities (KPTCL/KPCL) had carried out the recommended modifications.
RGMO/FGMO with MI & MVAR Interchange Meeting held on 30.09.2015 Page 10
It was noted that TPCIL and Krishnapatnam units should bring their taps to 400 kV on urgent basis. It was observed that TPCIL units were injecting MVARs (LV side of GT) and as per IEGC 6.6.6 they were to absorb MVAR as per grid requirement. Cumulative effort of all the units in that area (TPCIL, SEL, MEPL, Krishnapatnam and NCCPL) would help in mitigating the high voltage at NPS/Nellore. NCCPL should also come up with its tap at 400 kV.
Bellary, JSWEL and UPCL units should change the tap as per recommendations during first available opportunity and SLDCs should ensure the compliance.
It was noted that many of GT taps had not been changed due to technical constraints and there was no noticeable improvement in this regard. Therefore it was suggested that the GT tap changing issues could be reported as prolonged outage to Hon’ble CERC.
SRLDC could issue messages for Violation of IEGC clause 6.6.6. Messages to state generators would be routed through the respective SLDCs. In cases of no noticeable improvement, the matter could be reported under clause 1.5 of IEGC.
SRLDC pointed out that Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar units were not being put under condenser mode as per directions of SRLDC in certain instances. TSSLDC stated that they were complying with the directions of SRLDC.
SRLDC stared that all new units should come up at nominal grid voltage ( i.e 400 kV, 220 kV etc)
Limiter setting would be as per the capability curve. Any reduced settings needs to be justified technically through OEM.
Respective SLDCs would monitor VAR Interchange of the generators under their control and ensure better voltage profile.
All Generators agreed to take action on the tap changing recommendations. During outages GENCOs/SLDCs would ensure that the recommendations are implemented. Dates of Tap changes and set tap positions should be communicated to SRPC/SRLDC as and when changes are carried out. The same should also be reflected in the information which would be furnished for future analysis
400kV Tap changing is to be carried out only after concurrence of SRLDC.
Number of Generators were not furnishing timely information in correct format. It was suggested that information should be furnished in a timely manner.
Respective SLDCs would participate in reactive power demonstration testing along with the testing team for the units under their control area. Action to be taken on the recommendations finalized in testing report.
RGMO/FGMO with MI & MVAR Interchange Meeting held on 30.09.2015 Page 11
Calibration of meters would be undertaken to ensure accurate visibility of the parameters to the plant operators.
Some of the stations AVR voltage control was not going to +/- 5%. It would be examined and rectified.
Stations could undergo themselves reactive demonstration periodically as per the procedure.
It was noted that SEL absorption was getting restricted. SEL agreed to absorb MVAR upto recommended figure of 45 MVAR.
AVR would be kept in constant voltage mode at all the units.
The MVAR data to be posted on [email protected]. Data to be furnished by 5th of each month for the previous month in the web group in the requisite format. Data for state generators to be validated by respective SLDCs. Those who are not members of voltage group need to get in touch with SRLDC to become members.
It was recommended that all the stations should have data logging facility (up to six months) for fruitful analysis/deliberation.
Any, change in capability curves w.r.t. as furnished for MVAR document would be communicated. Wherever, CC is not clear information can be sent in table format also.
MS, SRPC thanked the participants for their active deliberations. He expressed
hope that the generators/SLDCs would take necessary steps on the
recommendations finalized in the meeting. Timely and validated information
was required to be posted on the respective web groups.

RGMO PETITION BY NLDC
• Record of Proceedings
• KARNATAKA RESPONSE FOR 14.01.15 INCIDENT
Emphasis in IEGC
4.6.1(b)Reactive Power Compensation
The person already connected to the grid shall also provide additional reactive compensation as per the quantum and time frame decided by respective RPC in consultation with RLDC. The Users and STUs shall provide information to RPC and RLDC regarding the installation and healthiness of the reactive compensation equipment on regular basis. RPC shall regularly monitor the status in this regard
Emphasis in IEGC
6.6.6 Reactive Power and Voltage Control
The ISGS and other generating stations connected to regional grid shall generate/absorb reactive power as per instructions of RLDC, within capability limits of the respective generating units, that is without sacrificing on the active generation required at that time. No payments shall be made to the generating companies for such VAr generation/absorption
Observations
• Observations made on the basis of details submitted by generating stations.
• Input details submitted for past 3 months
- June-15,July-15,Aug-15
MVAR file
Observations
• TTPS
Tap position can be brought to 12(230kV) from 8(243kV) as voltage variation is 243-220kV
Mostly injecting to Grid
• BTPS
Tap position can be brought to 5(400kV) from 4(410kV)
Voltage variation- 420-399kV
Observations
• RTPS
Even though tap kept at 224kV, MVAR is being injected at 231kV for U#1 and U#2
Tap position for U#4,U#7,U#8 can be brought to 400kV
Tap position for U#6 kept at 400kV, only injection is observed
KPCL may clarify correct tap position
Observations
• NCTPS St 1
Voltage is less than 230kV; mostly injecting
• MEPL & SEL
Operating at higher LV reference leading to lesser absorption
Observations
• Vallur
All units are injecting at 400-410kV voltages even though the tap kept at 400kV
• Sharavathy
Except U#9(at 230kV) all other units kept at 220kV
Observations
• NLC II
Tap position of units connected at 220kV level.
Tap position specified is different in same file
Tap can be brought to 400kV level
• NLC I
Tap position can be kept at same voltage level.
Observations
• VTPS
Confirmation of tap status of U#3,4,5,6
• NCTPS St2
U#1Tap position to be changed to 400kV
• Kaiga
Tap position not specified
Observations
• TPCIL
Tap position to be brought to 400kV
• SDS,Krishnapatnam
Minimum Excitation Limit - Explanation
Observations
• Performing as per Capability curve
Simhadri , NLC I Expn, RTPP
• Analysis not done for following due to less/no generation
Recommendations of MVAR testing
VTPS
• Unit 1 to 6 – Change in tap position was recommended
- Not mentioned tap position in the submitted data
• Unit 7 – Absorption level increased as recommended
Recommendations of MVAR testing
Kadra
• Tap position suggested No.8 (222.75kV)
• Present tap of all units at 7(225.5kV)
Kodasalli
• Review of AVR setting recommended
• Taps of all units may be brought to 8 (222.75kV)
Recommendations of MVAR testing
Simhadri
• Difference in load angle limiter operation
MEPL & SEL
• Operating at higher LV reference leading to lesser absorption
Recommendations of MVAR testing
MTPS
• Tap position at 235.75 kV (No.7) for 3 units & one unit at 230kV
• Tap position of all units to be set at same voltage so as to avoid circulating current

Required RGMO Performance or MW output
Consistency among Units of a station
for a single RGMO incident
Consistency of station for several RGMO incidents
Sustainability for 2 – 3 minutes
& again consistency
System demand that for narrowing down the gap between the target & response
Sustainability for 2 – 3 minutes by all the Units
is the ultimate target and the result by RGMO will
have to be analysed by the Power System Engineers. ???

For older machines, the CMC services are not available and this
facility will be made after renovation and Modernisation of obsolete
control systems. Most of the power plants served for more than
twenty years are already in the process of going towards the
latest Digital Control System. Boiler loadings will be varied by
CMC for extending the sustainability of RGMO response.
Thermal reserve available in the boiler only shall have to be utilised
as RGMO and for sustainability.
In RGMO also, if attempted without boiler firing change the pressure
deviation forces to reset the output change quickly. Sustainability
depends on the operator’s performance over the process in
older plants.
Honeywell’s Digital Control System of 1980’s design is working in
NCTPS for the last 21 years.

Newly commissioned machines having CMC control,
for the same RGMO output, we noticed the
sustainability is different which may be due to
variation in the process parameters.

To sustain the primary response for longer time (3-5 minutes) and not
to fall below the original generation to assist secondary control. This can
be utilised in the period of initialisation of secondary control.
One we show the performance to the grid and then we shall request
SRLDC to modify the response limts. i.e. 50-60% as against 70% of
expected generation via RGMO shall be considered as RGMO responded.
Making as achievable target by individual unit.
On 02 Mar 2015 incident, SR response was 159 MW (21.37%)
as against the target of 744 MW. National demand??????
In order to achieve the expected average demand of 4000-6000 MW/Hz as
primary response in the grid at the National level,
The number of thermal machines on bar is 66 Nos during this incident.
The MW achieved per machines is 2.40 MW as against
the target of 11.27 MW per machine. Improvement in RGMO response from Generating units will be more.
The number of successful units will definitely be more and the performance
sustainability with prolonged available thermal reserve in the boiler will also
be achieved

RGMO incident – The quantum of loss / gain of MW in
the grid is to be known to the Generating stations.
Analysis will be based on this quantum requirement only.
To check whether RGMO is meeting the actual demand
of the grid due to disturbance.

For larger frequency variations, the disturbed grid with
intrusion of RGMO generation shall be mathematically
modeled and the simulation results shall be arrived at
of course with minimum assumptions.

In general 1 minute/10 second data is being studied at
State LDC and SRLDC, Bangalore.
Collection of 1 second data from all the generating
stations
Frequency containment results arriving out of Primary
response and frequency trend patterns for different
case studies to be studied with 1 second data.
Under max. RGMO performance, this frequency pattern
study will be effective for deciding methodologies on
secondary control.

Error free Consistent RGMO performance require study
on various case studies and process parameters for non
performing machines.
In order to achieve the expected average demand of 600-750 MW as
primary response in the Southern grid,
To study the various RGMO case studies, the patterns of frequency
variation for RGMO behaviour, RGMO implementation problems and
suggestions/solutions/improvements for reducing the shortfall in
RGMO behaviour against our primary response target.
Knowledge transfer on RGMO among the constituents is very vital.
