4.3 Detailed Discussion on Practicality and Acceptance of “Draft Procedure for
Transmission Elements Outage Planning” submitted by NLDC in earlier OCC
meeting .
SE (O), NRPC informed that the Draft Procedure for “Transmission Elements Outage
Planning” was submitted by NLDC first in the Feb., 2013 for comments. No other utilities
submitted the comments except POWERGRID NR-I. The comments submitted by
POWERGRID NR-I were enclosed as Annexure-I to the Agenda. He further added that the
procedure is still to be approved by OCC.
Representative of NLDC informed that they are adhering to the Draft Procedure for
“Transmission Elements Outage Planning”.
SE (O), NRPC stated that the Draft Procedure for “Transmission Elements Outage
Planning”
is
available
on
NRPC
website
whose
link
is
http://www.nrpc.gov.in/Meetings/Other/outage_planning.pdf. He requested utilities to
submit their comment within 15 days.
Representative of POWERGRID informed that they are facing some difficulties in real time
coordination and operation in availing the shutdown. He further added that particularly in
the jobs related to relay retrofitting it is very difficult to plan the requirement of the
shutdown as the actual date depends on OEM engineer. He added that similar was the
case with CSD of breaker.
SE (O), NRPC stated that the emergency conditions during which shutdown can be given
had already been defined in the 80th OCC meeting held on 19th October, 2012. It was also
agreed that for crane movement in the vicinity of any element emergency shutdown of
about 30 minutes would be given.
It was agreed that utilities would give their list of relay retrofitting jobs as well as that of
replacement of CSD of breaker (without specific dates). OCC would approve these
shutdowns with the stipulation that utilities would approach NRLDC 3 days in advance to
carry out these works. The provisional approval of OCC for these works would remain
valid for duration of 3 meetings of OCC including the OCC in which it has been approved.
e.g if a work has been approved in 100th OCC meeting then it would not be necessary to
bring it for approval in 101st and 102nd OCC meetings for approval. Based on system
conditions and approval given in 100th OCC, NRLDC can take a decision for approval.

SE (O), NRPC added that in the 101st OCC meeting, representative of HPSEBL had stated
that the target for H.P. was on higher side and the requirement will be assessed in a
meeting of their field officers and there after they will discuss the requirement with NRLDC
and resolve the issue within two weeks. In 102nd meeting, he stated that since their
Planning Wing was being consulted on additional requirement and the same will be
finalized shortly and discussed with NRLDC. In this meeting, representative of HPSEBL
stated that the requirement is still being sorted out internally. SE (O), NRPC stated
that half of the financial year is already over and if the requirement has yet to be
finalized then HPSEBL will not be in a position to procure and install the capacitors
in time. As such, he advised representative of HPSEBL to take this target as final and
proceed with the procurement and installation. Representative of HPSEBL agreed to
this.
Representative of DTL stated that final report of the study for requirement of capacitors and
reactors at 220 kV level for NCR entrusted to CPRI has been received which indicates no
additional requirement of shunt capacitors for 2014-15 in Delhi but suggests relocation of
existing shunt capacitors as well as requirement of some reactors. Representative of DTL
agreed to forward the report to NRPC secretariat within a week. SE (O), NRPC advised the
representative of DTL to depute their officers to NRLDC and finalise the issue of
requirement/ relocation.
SE (O), NRPC stated that there is no substantial improvement in capacitor addition in
first 5 months of 2014-15 and requested all members to take action for expeditious
procurement/installation of capacitors based on approved targets for 2014-15 as
above. He also requested members to intimate the quantum of capacitors likely to be
added during current financial year, by the next meeting.
9. Approved System Protection Schemes (SPSs) in Northern Region
9.1 SE (O), NRPC requested members to update the status.
A) Mock testing of SPS for Interruption of import by NR at 765 kV Agra (from WR), was
done on 03rd April, 2014. Based on the report received from the concerned utilities it was
found that scheme is not functional at 09 out of 14 sub-stations. In a separate meeting
taken by MS, NRPC on 21st July, 2014 it was decided that POWERGRID would rectify the
deficiencies and would report about the functionality of the scheme within a week.
As per the information submitted by POWERGRID the scheme has been made functional in
08 sub-stations namely Modipuram, Mainpuri, Nara, Merta, Mohali Jamsher, Panipat and
Narwana. In the same letter, POWERGRID had informed that due to non-availability of
radial feeder at 220 kV Kota sub-station of RRVPNL, the scheme could not be connected.
In the 102nd OCC meeting, representative of RRVPNL had informed that the feeders
earmarked for the SPS are normally kept radial and scheme can be wired up to the
designated feeders at Kota sub-station.
In this meeting, representative of POWERGRID intimated that on contacting
Sakatpura sub-station for making the scheme functional, they were informed by the
staff there that no radial feeder is available. SE (O), NRPC requested RRVPNL to
intimate the exact position. Representative of RRVPNL stated that he will revert back
on this by 22.09.2014. However, the same was not received till issuance of these
minutes.
B) SE (O), NRPC informed that based on the intimation from POWERGRID in the 100th OCC
meeting that ICT of 500 MVA capacity to be added at Bassi sub-station has reached at site
and was likely to be commissioned by August, 2014, it was decided to keep on hold the
installation of SPS at Bassi for the time being. In the 102nd OCC meeting, representative of
POWERGRID had intimated that ICT would be commissioned by 31.08.2014. In this
meeting, representative of POWERGRID intimated that ICT was expected to be
commissioned by the end of September, 2014.
C) SE (O), NRPC informed that keeping in view overloading of ICTs at Meerut, OCC had
decided in its 90th & 91st meetings, that POWEREGRID would install the SPS at Meerut.
Representative of UPPTCL was requested to identify radial feeders at Meerut that can
provide relief of 300 MW and intimate the same to POWERGRID. Since some of the
feeders identified by UPPTCL and intimated vide CE(SLDC)/SA/SPS dated 15.02.2014
were not connected via fiber optics communication system, OCC in its 98th meeting had
requested UPPTCL to submit those feeders where optical fibre communication link is
available and which are radial in nature. In the 99th OCC meeting, UPPTCL had intimated
that fiber optics communication was not available for all the 07 outgoing feeders at 220 kV
level from Meerut and only Gajraula feeder was radial. However, PLCC communication was
working satisfactorily for all feeders. It was decided that SPS for ICTs at Meerut be
implemented by POWERGRID using PLCC communication and UPPTCL would
continuously monitor the loading on ICTs. In the 101st OCC meeting, POWERGRID had
intimated had that SPS using PLCC communication will not be reliable. However,
POWERGRID was requested to at least implement SPS on 220 kV Gajraula feeder and
POWERGRID had agreed for the same. In the 102nd OCC meeting, POWERGRID had
intimated that ICT at Meerut would be installed by October, 2014 and after that SPS would
not be required. Representative of NRLDC had stated that in view of the loading conditions
in Meerut, the requirement of SPS would still be there. SE (O), NRPC had requested
POWERGRID to expedite the implementation of the scheme.
In this OCC meeting, representative of POWERGRID informed that ICT at Meerut,
Bassi and Allahabad would be commissioned by September, 2014 and thereafter SPS
would not be required. Representative of NRLDC maintained that in view of the
loading conditions in Meerut, the requirement of SPS would still be there. SE (O),
NRPC requested POWERGRID to expedite the implementation of the scheme.
Representative of POWERGRID intimated that for implementation of SPS on 220 kV
Gajraula feeder, quotation has been sought from M/S ABB and on receipt of the
same, the work is likely to be awarded.
Representative of UPPTCL raised the issue of 4-5 major breakdowns and damage to
their equipments in the recent past due to opening of Modipuram feeder by
POWERGRID from Meerut on the instruction of NRLDC without informing them.
Representative of POWERGRID clarified that their operators at Meerut invariably
intimate the UPPTCL’s sub-station staff about the overloading of ICTs and about the
opening of Modipuram feeder. However, it was agreed that now onwards prior to the
opening of feeder, POWERGRID would also intimate telephonically to Shri Kavindra
Singh, Technical advisor, UPPTCL on his mobile No. 09412749803.
D) SE (O), NRPC stated that in respect of finalisation of backing down of generation at Dadri
TPS and Dadri CCGT for implementation of SPS for tripping of multiple lines from 400 kV
Dadri, in the 101st OCC meeting, NTPC had intimated that SPS would be implemented by
31.12.2014. In this OCC meeting, representative of NTPC informed that the
implementation of SPS was on schedule.
The latest revised target dates as intimated during the 103rd OCC meeting are given in
Annexure-VII.
9.2 SE (O), NRPC informed that In the 93rd OCC meeting, UPPTCL had intimated that in
respect of SPS at Rosa TPS, that earlier SPS was envisaged for one unit with connectivity
at 220 kV level but the scheme was under revision for four units with connectivity at 400 kV
level. In the 96th OCC meeting, UPPTCL had intimated that 2 Nos. new 220 kV outlets from
Rosa TPS were expected to be commissioned by April, 2014. There after the SPS would be
finalised by Rosa TPS authorities. Since, the logic for SPS can be revised any time, OCC
had advised that Rosa TPS authorities should finalise the scheme urgently without waiting
for new outlets to be commissioned. In the 98th OCC, Rosa TPS informed that signal is
being continuously generated showing the availability of transmission lines. Based on the
availability of transmission lines, manual action is being taken for backing down or so. OCC
was of the view that manual action is slow and it would not suffice in case of tripping of
lines. The signal showing the availability of transmission lines could be utilized for
implementation of SPS. OCC had requested Rosa TPS to implement the SPS
expeditiously. In the 100th OCC meeting, UPPTCL had intimated that SPS at Rosa TPS
would be implemented by September, 2014. In the 102nd OCC meeting, UPPTCL had
informed that the SPS for Rosa was under implementation and would be completed within a
month. In this meeting, representative of UPPTCL intimated that the SPS for Rosa
was would be implemented by the end of September, 2014.
9.3 SPS for tripping of transmission lines connecting NAPS.
SE (O), NRPC informed that on receipt of comments from UPPTCL in the 74th OCC
meeting on two logics proposed by NRLDC in the 69th OCC meeting and subsequent
examination, it was decided in the 75th OCC meeting that UPPTCL shall implement the SPS
for NAPS as per their comments and also taking care of tripping of Mainpuri- Etah line.
Since the decision taken in 75th OCC meeting till the 97th OCC meeting, UPPTCL has
maintained all along that that they were not finding the bidders despite tendering and retendering many times. In the 98th OCC meeting, UPPTCL had informed that due to change
in network configuration, the conditions for implementation of scheme have changed. It was
further informed that scheme would be installed at Etawah and Harduaganj by 15.05.2014.
In the 100th OCC meeting, UPPTCL had intimated that SPS scheme has been finalized. In
101st OCC meeting, UPPTCL had intimated that finalized SPS will be implemented within
03 months by the Transmission South wing (Agra wing). In this meeting, representative
of UPPTCL intimated that SPS for NAPS is expected to be implemented by
31.12.2014.
9.4 Mock Testing of SPS meant for contingency of Mundra-Mahendergarh HVDC.
SE (O), NRPC informed that Mock testing of SPS meant for contingency of MundraMahendergarh HVDC line was carried out on 24.12.2013. The load relief obtained during
the Mock Testing was quite low for Punjab and to a lesser extent from Haryana and Delhi
than the expected load relief. The issue was discussed in the 98th & 99th OCC meetings
and it was decided that: PSTCL would identify and intimate additional feeders to be disconnected through
SPS during lean periods in Punjab.

APL would be advised to check the scheme at Nuna Majra and Malerkotla.
 Once APL gives confirmation about activating the scheme at Shamli (U.P.), a
comprehensive mock test would again be carried out.
 DTL would review and revert back on its feeder for SPS, as the existing feeders
would get supply from alternate source, once LILO is completed at Mundka.
In the 100th OCC meeting, PSTCL had intimated that additional two feeders from Malerkotla
sub-station namely (i) 66 kV Malaud with lean period load of 06 MW and peak period load
of 20 MW and (ii) 66 kV Siarh with lean period load of 06 MW and peak period load of 20
MW have been identified and intimated to POWERGRID. OCC had advised PSTCL to send
these details to Adani Power Ltd.
PSTCL and DTL informed that the above details have been sent to Adani Power Ltd.
SE (O), NRPC further added that a second Mock Testing of SPS for Mundra-Mahendergarh
HVDC was carried out on 08.07.2014 wherein certain deficiencies were observed. A
detailed report of the Mock test was enclosed as Annex- VIII of the agenda notes.
It could be seen from the Annex-VII that (i) a number of feeders in Haryana & Rajasthan are
not radial (ii) number of counters increased are either more or less than envisaged for
certain feeders in all States except in Haryana and (iii) the load relief that would have been
available if SPS had operated on the day of testing was much lesser than envisaged in
Punjab, Rajasthan and UP.
In the 102nd OCC meeting (i) Haryana and Rajasthan had informed that the feeders were
being normally kept in radial operation (ii) UPPTCL and RRVPNL were requested to check
the relays as counter increased were more than the envisaged (iii) APL was requested to
check the scheme at 220 kV Shamli s/s of UPPTCL for less increment of the counter than
envisaged and (iv) DTL was advised to check the system at their end. If no problem is
detected then scheme for this particular sub-station would again be tested.
In this meeting, (i) Representative of DTL informed that problem in cable was noticed
and the same has been rectified (ii) Representative of RRVPNL stated that the issues
with regard to excess counter increment have been referred to the concerned
officials in protection wing (iii) Representative of APL stated that he will convey
about less increment of the counter than envisaged at 220 kV Shamli s/s of UPPTCL
to the concerned officers in APL.
9.5 Implementation of SPS for Rampur HEP.

DTL, PSTCL, HVPNL, HPSEB Ltd, PTCUL, RRVPNL and UPPTCL had informed that the
revised scheme has been fully implemented.
However, RRVPNL had installed rotational load shedding i.e four feeders in rotation at one
sub-station whereas NRPC had already decided that rotational load shedding is not to be
installed. Representative of RRVPNL had agreed in the 101st OCC meeting that RLSS will
be withdrawn. Recently, RRVPNL has informed that the rotational scheme at all locations
has been converted into flat frequency relay based scheme. The Representative from
SLDC, Rajasthan confirmed in this meeting that all rotational schemes have been
replaced into flat and hence UFRs at all locations are flat type.
UT Chandigarh has informed that first two stages (49.2 & 49.0 Hz) have been implemented
and remaining scheme would be implemented after delivery of the relays. No further
details were available as no representative of UT Chandigarh attended the meeting.
There is no scheme of UFR based automatic load shedding scheme in J&K. However,
PDD, J&K had intimated in the PSC meeting held on 12.02.2014 that their proposal in this
regard has been approved by State Govt. In the recently concluded 31st NRPC meeting
held on 24.07.2014, representative of J&K intimated that funds have been made available
now by the State Govt. and they have initiated the procurement process. Further, he had
also intimated that UFRs are likely to be installed by October, 2014. No further details
were available as no representative of PDD J&K attended the meeting.
Latest status of implementation of revised UFR based automatic load shedding scheme as
intimated in the 103rd OCC meeting is enclosed as Annex-VIII.
Since the Revised UFR based automatic load shedding scheme has been fully
implemented by major constituents, OCC decided that this item be dropped from the
Agenda of the OCC meetings. The matter will be continued to be pursued with
Chandigarh and J&K.

Scheduling of Rampur Hydro Power Station (RHPS) in line with NJHPS
Representative of SJVNL stated that they had successfully achieved commercial Operation
(COD) of three units (1st, 2nd & 5th) of RHEP on 13.05.2014, 4th unit (Unit No. 4) on
18.06.2014 & 5th Unit (Unit No. 3) on 08.08.02014. After COD of these units, power has been
scheduled to the beneficiaries as per the allocation order issued by MOP, GOI.
RHEP (6 X68.67MW) is designed in such a way that it is operative only in tandem with the
generation flow of upstream project NJHPS and is conceived as a Tail Race development of
1500 MW (6x250 MW) Nathpa Jhakri Hydro Power Station (NJHPS). Water coming out from
the tail race of NJHPS is diverted in Rampur Intake through TRT Pond. There is no balancing
reservoir in between the two facilities and there is a small storage in the Jhakri tail Race
pond, from where the water enters the Head Race Tunnel of Rampur.
Due to mismatch in the schedule of NJHPS and RHEP observed during initial days, an
agenda item was brought up in 99th and 100th OCC meeting of NRPC, wherein it was
apprised that RHEP was designed for tandem operation on 1:1 basis with NJHPS, being a
Master station, and RHEP as a slave station. If one unit of NJHPS will run, then RHEP can
operate only one unit strictly likewise up to six units. Further, Rampur cannot run without
NJHPS in operation.
It was further submitted that regulatory type TRT pond gates erected at tail race area of
NJHPS have not been operationalised till now. The operation of these gates are part of the
Tandem Operation System (TOS) of RHEP and would play an important role in tandem
operation. It is expected that these gates will be ready during lean season. In the meantime,
following logic is incorporated in the tandem operation of RHEP & NJHPS, which would be
required temporarily till operationalization of Regulatory Type pond gates:
Case1: No of Synchronised NJHPS units <=3 (say n), then a maximum of n Rampur units
can be synchronised with Grid (i.e. on 1:1 basis) as explained in the presentation also.
Case 2: No of Synchronised NJHPS units >3 (say n), then a maximum of (n-1) Rampur
units can be synchronised with Grid (this would be temporary phase till operationalization of
Regulatory type pond gates).
He added that this is submitted for kind information and requested that daily scheduling of
RHEP may please be fixed by NRLDC as per the aforesaid logics for safe and optimum
evacuation of power as well as operation of both the plants.
SE (O), NRPC stated that the issue of scheduling of Rampur HEP (RHEP) had been
discussed earlier also and requested NRLDC to do the needful so that optimal scheduling of
RHEP is done.
Representative of NRLDC assured that the above requirement of Rampur HPS will be
taken care by them and revision in scheduling for NJHPS and Rampur HPS will be
done simultaneously as and when required.

consideration in 103rd OCC Meeting forwarded vide NRPC letter of even No. 3413-53 dated
09.09.2014, certain programmes proposed by BBMB were inadvertently left out. He informed
that the proposed outages by BBMB were considered by the OCC in the meeting held on
17.09.2014 and are covered in item 4.2.1 above.
AA.3 Approval for GRID condition requirement to facilitate System test of HVDC Balia-Bhiwadi
Representative of POWERGRID stated that M/s SIEMENS have requested for permission to
conduct system performance test requiring power flow ramps up and down from 250 MW to
2500 MW, as per programme given in the Agenda notes and requested to provide flexible Grid
Conditions for the same. He added that main requirement for the system performance test will
be:1. First three days ramp up & down from 250 to 2500 MW for seven hours,
2. Fourth day ramp up & down from 250 to 1250 MW for seven hours &
3. Fifth day Power O/load of 2875 MW for four hours.
He requested NRLDC to arrange to facilitate the required grid condition and allow for
conducting the system test for HVDC Balia-Bhiwadi as above w.e.f 0900hrs of 18/09/14.
Representative of M/s SIEMENS stated that the purpose of the system performance test is to
check as to how the system will behave with the changes in the loading. He added that this
test is part of testing and commissioning and possibility of pole tripping during ON LINE testing
cannot be ruled out. He added that this test has already been done using simulation
techniques. Further, he intimated that this test was carried out under “ON LINE” conditions for
Talchar-Kolar bipole as well as on M/s Adani Power Ltd.’s Mundra-Mohindergarh HVDC
bipole.
Representative of NRLDC stated that loading Balia-Bhiwadi up to 2500 MW is difficult as it
may lead to increased sensitivity of many lines besides controlling loading on other lines.
Representative of POWERGRID stated that this test can be carried out in a minimum period of
12 hours and overloading of up to 2750 MW would be required with ramp up/ ramp down in the
range of 50-300 MW/minute.
Representative of NTPC suggested carrying out system flow studies by NRLDC/NLDC and
sharing of results of the study with constituents so that the impact of testing on their generating
stations could be ascertained and due precautions could be taken during the testing.
Representative of UPPTCL stated that Singrauli-Anpara and Anpare-Mau lines will get
critically loaded while making 2500 MW availability at Balia. SE (O), NRPC suggested that the
study results be mailed to NTPC and UPPTCL today itself (18.09.2014) and these entities
should furnish their comments to NLDC/NRLDC by Monday (22.09.2014) where after
NLDC/NRLDC may finalise the dates of testing and issue advisory to all concerned at least
one day before the test. Representative of NLDC made it clear that POWERGRID will ensure
uninterrupted transmission of SCADA data during the test failing which the test would be
discontinued. Representative of M/s SIEMENS intimated that this test has to be done on
working days and a minimum of two days notice will be required as some engineers have to
arrive from Germany. Representative of NRLDC assured that all conditions will be laid down
while according approval for the proposed test. OCC gave provisional approval for testing
subject to above observations. Final decision regarding appropriate date and time of
test will be decided by NRLDC based on grid conditions.
AA.4. Allocation of surrendered share by Himachal Pradesh in Various hydro Power Projects.
SE (O), NRPC stated that Ministry of Power vide their letter No. 3/4/2014-OM/796 dated
04.09.2014 have forwarded letter dated 21.07.2014 from Government of Himachal Pradesh
(enclosed as Annexure to the Agenda notes) whereby GoHP has placed HP’s SOR share at
the disposal of GoI for allocation amongst the power deficit states initially for five years i.e up
to 31.03.2019. He requested all members, if interested, to send their acceptance to MoP
stating quantum and period.
SE (O), NRPC further stated that it would be better if power surrendered by Himachal Pradesh
remains in the northern region for which he requested power deficit states like Uttar Pradesh
to consider seeking allocation from power surrendered by H.P. Members agreed to consider
this option.
AA.5 Change in e-mail ID of SE (O), NRPC.
SE (O), NRPC stated that in accordance with GoI guidelines, all correspondence to NRPC
Sectt. on operational matters should be sent at our newly created official email ID i.e. seonrpc@nic.in He requested Members to use this new mail ID for any correspondence. He also
requested members to use their official email ID for correspondence. Members noted the
same and agreed to use this new ID for correspondence.
AA.6 Mock black‐Start Exercises. Representative of NRLDC stated that as per Indian Electricity Grid Code (IEGC) clause 5.8(b)
“Mock trial runs of the procedure for different sub-systems shall be carried out by the Users/
CTU/ STU at least once every six months under intimation to the RLDC”. He added that Mock
Black-start exercise of power stations are therefore needs to be carried out in-order to ensure
healthiness of black start facility. The winter months are off peak hydro period and therefore
good time to carry out such exercises. He further, stated that the schedule of mock exercise
dates for different hydro & Gas power station is proposed. The power stations may confirm
and inform to all the concerned persons of control centre/ substations to facilitate the exercise.

Last year also such request was made by NRLDC, however SLDCs have not informed about
carrying out the exercise. The information may please be shared by SLDCs and program for
this year’s exercise shall also be shared. He requested SLDCs to submit the reports of black
start exercise in their respective control area. SLDCs may also identify further generating
stations/unit for black start exercise.
Representative of NTPC stated that the issue of carrying out Mock Black Start exercise was
discussed in the past in several OCC meetings also but the exercise could not be carried at
NTPC NCR Gas Stations due to absence of proper exercise procedure pending from NRLDC
end. He further stated that as such, they were starting GTs at each of its gas stations through
DG set once a year to check the healthiness of the system. The healthiness of the availability
of black start facility is already proven during previous grid failures.
Representative of NRLDC stated that NTPC Kawas plant had carried out one such exercise
last year and NTPC can share the procedure with NRLDC as this would help in preparing
procedure for NCR Gas Stations. Representative of NTPC stated that operational
requirements for carrying out this exercise is plant specific as line / load availability conditions
are different for different plants. After deliberations, OCC decided that a separate meeting
shall be convened by NRLDC with NTPC and NRPC representatives to evolve the procedure
for carrying out the mock exercise at NTPC-NCR Gas Stations.
Representative of NHPC stated that Mock Black start exercise at URI-I & II shall be carried out
after the present crisis (Flood situation) in J&K is over and before the snowfall.
Representative of NRLDC stated that Mock Black start exercise at Rana Pratap Sagar was
carried out 02 years back and requested RRVPNL to arrange for the exercise this year.
Representative of RRVPNL agreed for this.
Representative of DTL stated that Mock Black start exercise at their GT stations has been
done once and will be repeated this year also.
All other members agreed with the dates proposed by NRLDC for Mock Black start exercise
and also assured to plan for this exercise at generating stations in their control area and
intimate NRLDC.
AA.7 Revision of document for System Restoration Procedure (SRP) & Reactive Power
Management for Northern Region:
Representative of NRLDC stated that the System restoration procedure & Reactive Power
Management document for Northern region are due for revision. He added that a letter in this
regard has been forwarded to all the utilities. He requested Utilities to give their feedback,
suggestion & updated information latest by 31st October 2014 in-order to revise the System
restoration procedure.
Members noted the above and agreed to send the feedback, if any.
AA.8 Winter Preparedness:
Representative of NRLDC stated that Winter months are approaching and therefore
preparedness on following points needs to be reassessed:
 Status of transmission system and other resources likely to be available during coming
winter months.
 Review of the status of insulator replacement and pre-winter cleaning of insulators on
transmission lines.
 Complete list/Map of transmission line (s) with polymer insulators.
 Measures to contain high voltages during night off-peak hours.
 Readiness for black start by generating stations.
 Availability of the Real Time data to the control centers.
 Healthiness of the communication system between control centres and between control
centers & substations.
 Status of pre-winter maintenance by Railways on its lines and updated maps of all
railway feed points, nodal officers of utility as well as railways related to each feed
points .
 Deployment of the additional manpower at important substations / control centers.
 Availability and monitoring of the weather data.
 Backing down of generation at generating stations to contain voltage and high
frequency and reactive power absorption by generators, fully utilizing the capability
curve.
 Monitoring of VAR absorption by generating stations, the format agreed for monitoring
is annexed at Annexure-I to the Additional Agenda notes-II.
 Status of transmission system spares at strategic locations.
 Availability of tertiary reactors at 33kV voltage level & its utilizations.
 Monitoring of Generator Reactive Power to control the voltage at generator terminal.
 Readiness of Synchronous Condenser Mode Operation of Hydro unit.
He added that certain points regarding winter preparedness like information on lines with
polymer insulator etc were deliberated in last OCC but information is yet to start flowing. He
again requested Members to kindly submit the details of status of polymer insulator in the
lines, details of synchronous condenser mode operation & status of tertiary reactors.
SE (O), NRPC requested all STUs to furnish the updated details of 400kV lines where
Polymer Insulator have been replacement (In the proforma given in the additional agenda
notes of 102nd OCC meeting) which would help NRLDC in preparation of one consolidated list
of lines and redesign the SCADA Map of Northern region with insulator wise lines segregation.
He added that this would facilitate the operators of NRLDC in the night hours of winters to
decide opening of lines on high voltage. Members agreed for the same.
Further, SE (O), NRPC requested the representative of NRLDC to furnish the list of lines that
tripped due to fog during last winter. Representative of NRLDC agreed to send the list to
NRPC Secretariat.
Representative of NRLDC pointed out that Auto-reclose feature on Agra-Muradnagar and
Panki-Muradnagar lines does not seem to be functional as it did not operate in the recent
trippings and requested the representative of UPPTCL to look into and get it set right.
Representative of UPPTCL clarified that Auto-reclose feature on Panki-Muradnagar lines is in
healthy condition. However, problem exists in the PLCC for which Wave Trap is to be
changed. In respect of Agra-Muradnagar line, he intimated that the Auto-reclose feature is
healthy. However, it did not operate in the first instance but operated successfully in the
second incident on the same day.
Representative of NRLDC desired that trial operation of synchronous condenser mode
operation of units at Pong, Largi, RPS, JS, Ranjit Sagar and Tehri hydro stations needs to be
carried out to ensure that these units can be operated as synchronous condensers as and
when required. OCC requested the concerned SLDCs to arrange the trial operation of
synchronous condenser mode operation of units as above within a week and confirm to
NRLDC. Members agreed for the same.
AA.9 Critical Grid operation during last week of the August 2014.
Representative of NRLDC stated that a very high demand in Northern Region was witnessed
during the last 10 days of August 2014. During this period, on one side hydro generation was
showing sign of reduction and on other side some of the thermal units of Rihand, Singrauli,
Dadri, Kawai, Rosa, Jhajjar & Talwandi Sabo generating stations were under outage due to
coal shortage.
Though, NRLDC was continuously pursuing with state control areas for maintaining the drawl
within their drawl schedule. Matter was also taken up with higher official of the state control
areas but some of the state control areas were continuously overdrawing. This resulted into
sustained low frequency operations and violations of various regulations.
Though the matter of over drawl was also discussed in last OCC meeting, but situation was
quite critical.
Rajasthan, UP, J&K and Uttrakhand were the main defaulting control areas. The statistics in
respect of NR states for duration (20-28 Aug 2014) is given below:

*Based on hourly data
He requested the state control areas to prepare contingency quick plan during such situations
to control the over drawl from the grid for safe and secure operation of the grid.
Representative of NTPC stated that during the power shortage crisis in NR during last week of
Aug'14, all 13 GTs of NCR Gas Stations were on bar supporting the grid and good quantity of
RLNG was consumed during the aforesaid period. He shared that during the aforesaid period,
NTPC approached various constituents of NR & requested them to requisition power on liquid
fuel available from its Dadri-Gas & Faridabad gas stations as the liquid fuel stock currently
available at these stations is from old inventory rate. Accordingly, variable cost on liquid fuel
would have been comparatively cheaper than that of RLNG. However, beneficiaries didn’t
avail the same. He informed that the old liquid stock is sufficient to supply about 200 MW from
each of Dadri-Gas & Faridabad gas stations for about 4-5 days on a continuous basis &
beneficiaries can avail the same if the need be.
Representative of NRLDC informed that there was continuous O/D by UP of up to 07 MUs to
08 MUs and 1000-1100 MW. Representative of UPPTCL informed that Anpara and Paricha
machine were under outage.
All state control areas were requested to prepare contingency quick plan during such
situations to control the over drawl from the grid for safe and secure operation of the
grid.
AA.10 Load/Generation management by state Control Areas and information to RLDC. Representative of NRLDC stated that the state Control area’s demand is met from their own
intra-state generation, share/allocation/PPA scheduled on long term basis from outside state &
purchase/sale through Medium term & Short term transactions.
The load demand likely pattern & quantum forecasting is the key to proper planning for
meeting of the demand. The planning is important for meeting the load without over drawl from
grid. From hourly forecasted pattern of demand, the own generation/Long term/Medium term
generation likely to be scheduled needs to be deducted to find out the likely shortfall/excess &
its duration. This balance demand needs to be managed through market purchase/sale or load
management.
The clause 5.3 (e) of the Indian Electricity Grid Code (IEGC) says that facilities for estimation
of demand for daily operational use for each 15 minute block shall be created at the earliest
but later than 01.01.2011.
He requested each SLDC to prepare its demand curve and it planning (each 15 minute block
wise) to meet it. This information need to be shared with NRLDC on day ahead basis.
OCC requested SLDCs to prepare their demand curve and carry out planning (each 15
minute block wise) to meet it. SLDCs were also requested that this information be
shared with NRLDC on day-ahead basis. Members agreed for this.
AA.11 Pilot Project on Testing of Primary Frequency Response of generating units:
Representative of NRLDC stated that a pilot project for testing the generating units under
FGMO/RGMO has been awarded by the Central Transmission Utility (CTU) to M/S Solvina
International AB. This pilot project is done based on the Terms of Reference (ToR) framed by
the multi stake holder committee formed through an order of the Central Electricity Authority
(CEA). The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) had also ordered such testing
through its order in petition 191 of 2011.
The plants included in pilot project are Chamera-I of NHPC Limited, Tehri of THDC India
Limited, Bawana GPS of PPCL and Dadri stage -1 and stage-2 of NTPC Limited.
Dates for site visit, data collection and the tests, related logistics etc. were discussed and
finalized. Schedule for the pilot project, finalized in the meeting of 7th Aug 2014 and 20th

He added that the site visit at Chamera and Bawana has been completed.
Representative of NRLDC stated that this is for the information of the members.
Members noted the same.
AA.12 Critical power supply situation in J&K due to floods. Representative of NRLDC stated that due to heavy rains in the J&K area, generating stations
as well as distribution system was affected there. The generating station of Salal, Uri –I and
Uri –II were closed w.e.f. 03rd September and 05th September 2014 respectively due to high
silt conditions. The 220 kV substation of Mirbazar was also shut down due to flooding. The
voice communication with different generating stations, substations and real-time data
availability from these was one of another challenge for the system operation.
The non availability of real-time data and even daily reports (at night for preparing daily
reports) has been regularly raised by NRLDC in different meetings; still there is a little
improvement. Even though Wagoora is connected through Kishenpur through wide band
communication but at times it was also out and thus intermittent real-time data was available.
Voice communication on this wideband as well as PLCC communication was unavailable.
He requested members for recommending strong communication infrastructure for power
system and taking up any defects in already provided communication system of wideband and
PLCC. He also requested SLDC J&K also to send daily reports to NRLDC during night after
the day is over.
During outage of the units it was observed that hydro units of Uri-I were revived earlier than
Uri-II. Units of Salal HEP went into outage for the period of 3rd Sep 2014 to 8th Sep 2014 while
upstream Baglihar HEP was continuously running during the period. He requested NHPC to
appraise the house about the hydrology between Salal HEP & Baghlihar HEP and Uri-I & Uri-II
HEP.
Representative of NHPC stated that Salal power station is ROR scheme. The silt level in Salal
Reservoir suddenly increased to 6412 ppm at 11:00 hrs on 03.09.2014 and was rising.
Therefore all the units were stopped between 11:15 and 11:50 Hrs. He added that due to
heavy rainfall, the silt levels in adjoining nallahs between Baglihar & Salal namely “Rud”,
“Ansh” etc reached 16000 ~ 30000 ppm on 05.09.2014 & 06.09.2014. However after inflows
receded, and the silt was came down in the recommended range of 3000 ppm, all the units
were synchronized one by one on 08.09.2014 between 20:37 and 22:12 hrs. Silt levels of
Baglihar are not known to NHPC.
He further informed that Uri-I was restored on 06.09.2014. However, Uri-II could be restored
only on 08.09.2014 as Uri – II being in downstream of Uri-I was effected by increased trash,
silt conditions carried by more nallahs feeding into Jhelum in the downstream of Uri-I namely ‘
Jabla, Bunihar, etc”.
AA.13 Information about variable charges of all the generating units in the Region.
Representative of NRLDC stated that all regional entities and each SLDC for its all intrastate
entities may submit the details about variable charges of generating units to RPC/ RLDC. He
added that it is for information compilation and for better dissemination of information among
all the NR entities facilitating them in purchase of power from various sources.
Representative of NTPC stated that it will not be possible for them to furnish the fixed charges
due to uncertain coal supplies.
OCC decided that all regional and intrastate entities will furnish the variable charges of
their generating units on a quarterly basis beginning September, 2014. OCC also
decided that variable charges for September, 2014 will be submitted by all concerned in
the next meeting. In this regard, SLDCs will obtain the variable charges from the
generating units located in their control area.
AA.14 Violation of Deviation Settlement Mechanism regulation:
Representative of NRLDC stated that the Deviation settlement mechanism has been
implemented in the country w.e.f. 17th February 2014. The data of various drawee regional
entities have been analyzed and following violation have been observed.

Representative of NRLDC stated that the above analysis is for the information of the members
and requested members to take corrective steps to minimize the violations. SE (O), NRPC
also requested for corrective action by all concerned utilities. Members agreed to take
corrective action for avoiding non-compliance to regulatory provisions.
AA.15 Multiple Tripping in the system since last OCC meeting:
Representative of NRLDC stated that following multiple tripping took place in NR since last
OCC meeting. The preliminary report of all the events have been issued from NRLDC.
He added that the status of receipt of reports and fault clearing time as per PMU data is also
given in the table. It could be seen that fault clearing time has been much higher than
mandated by CEA (Grid Standard) Regulations. The non receipt of root cause analysis and
remedial measures report is also violating various regulations.

from the study that implementation of SPS will not
affect the islanding scheme of Delhi. SPS is being

SE (SLDC), HVPNL that SPS for Panipat-I units
is not technically feasible as these units have not
been provided with ETHC (Electro Hydraulic
Turbine Control).This SPS issue already stands
referred to CEA.
On commissioning of 400 kV Parichha-Mainpuri
D/C lines this SPS is not required since
generation at Parichha TPS has not exceeded
850 MW so far & N-1 contingency is being
fulfilled. Decision to install SPS for Parichha TPS
has been kept in abeyance and situation is being
monitored by U.P. SLDC and NRLDC for 6
months. OCC agreed to recommend scrapping of
the SPS to TCC/NRPC Subsequently NRPC in
st
th
its the 31 meeting held on 24 July, 2014, has
approved dropping the above SPS..
Rosa- by Septembe SPS was envisaged for one unit with connectivity

at 220 kV level but now the scheme has been
revisied for four units with connectivity at 400 kV
level and 2 new upcoming outlets. SPS is likely to
be commissioned by September, 2014

To February, 2012
SPS at Bassi was dropped keeping in view the
expected addition of one more ICT of 500 MVA in
about one year’s time when problem of
Overloading will not be experienced. However,
keeping in view the changed configuration due to
commissioning of generating units at Kawai TPS
and consequent overloading of ICTs, OCC has
th
decided in its 97 meeting to revive installation of
SPS at Bassi. RRVPNL submitted the list of
feeders for disconnection through SPS.
CTU
With the expected addition of new ICT of 500 MVA
capacity by August, 2014, OCC in its 100th
meeting has decided to keep on hold the
installation of SPS at Bassi for the time being. In
103th OCC meeting, POWERGRID intimated that
ICT at Bassi is expected to be commissioned by
the end of September, 2014.
OCC decided in its 90th meeting to install the SPS
at Meerut. To be installed by November, 2013.
Loads identified by UPPTCL & POWERGRID has
to now implement the SPS. Since Optic Fibre
communication is not available at all the 07
outgoing, 220 kV feeders from Meerut, SPS has to
be implemented using PLCC communication.
However, POWERGRID has concluded
that SPS using PLCC communication will
not be reliable.
