CHAPTER 1
GENERAL
1.1 Introduction
The Western Regional Power System covers the geographical areas under Chattisgarh,
Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, UT Daman & Diu and UT Dadra & Nagar
Haveli. The regional grid operation is being coordinated by the Western Regional Load
Despatch Centre in collaboration with the respective State Load Despatch Centres.
WRLDC developed the first Operating Procedure for Western Region in consultation
with regional constituents, in November, 2000.
The Indian Electricity Act, 2003 ushered economic transactions through Short Term
Open Access within and across the region. The formation of the synchronous NorthEast-West-North East (N-E-W) Grid in August 2006 integrated the regional grids as well
as the inter-state electricity market. The introduction of Power Exchanges in 2007
increased completion among market players. The first revision of Operating Procedure
was carried out by WRLDC in June2008 to facilitate the paradigm shift in power system
and market operation. Further improvements were carried out in December 2010 after
consultation with WR constituents in the 416th and 417th OCC meeting of WRPC.
Thereafter the Operating Procedure is being reviewed annually.
Minor changes were carried out in 2011 and 2012 to incorporate the relevant changes in
regulations and agreed practices. The Procedure underwent major changes to
incorporate the provisions of the first amendment in IEGC (effective from 17.09.2012)
post the grid disturbance of 30th and 31st July 2012.
A new era of power system operation commenced after formation of the synchronous
National Grid after the synchronization of North-East-West-North East (N-E-W) grid with
Southern Regional (SR) Grid on 31st December 2013 through 765 Sholapur-Raichur
circuit-I. The CERC notifications for IEGC (second amendment) Regulations in February
2014 & the CERC (Deviation Settlement mechanism & Related matters) Regulations2014 (both effective from 17.02.2014) introduced a radical change by tightening the
frequency band, de-linking the deviations from grid frequency and prescribing
lower/upper limits for deviation from schedule.
CERC order dated 22nd February 2014, in the petition 167/Suo-Motu/2012 in the matter
of the Grid Disturbance of 30-07-2012 and 31-07-2012 has mandated strict compliance
to procedures regarding Transmission Outage Coordination, Congestion Management
and control over under-drawal/overdrawal from the grid by all utilities. CERC (Terms &

CHAPTER 2
NETWORK SECURITY
2.1 Introduction
This chapter highlights the actions required to be undertaken by system operators to
keep the network secured at all times against contingencies arising inside WR grid or
outside WR grid due to outage of critical corridors in NEW grid. It also describes the
actions required to maintain system parameters close to normal values in day-to-day
operation.
2.2 Background
The Indian Power Grid is operating as a single synchronous interconnection of all five
regional grids in India as well as Bhutan. Indian Grid is also connected asynchronously
to Nepal and Bangladesh. The North-East-West-North East (N-E-W) grid was
synchronized with the Southern Regional (SR) grid on 31.12.2013 through 765 kV
Sholapur-Raichur circuit-I. The synchronous Indian Grid caters to a peak demand of
around 1.35 GW with a peak shortage of nearly 6000 MW. The all India synchronous
Grid has already yielded various benefits by taking advantage of diversity of time,
surplus/deficit management due to demand forecast errors/ weather variations,
increased economic transactions, improvement in overall system security due to
increase in stability margin and a stiffness of about 3,500 MW/Hz. However,
synchronization has also resulted in challenges arising from contingencies, some of
which may be occurring outside the Western Region. In addition, system reliability has to
be ensured even during extreme weather conditions, uneven demand growth, delay in
commissioning of generators/transmission elements etc.

and a half hour (1 ) after the disturbance. The emergency thermal rating represent
equipment limits that can be tolerated for a relatively short time which may be one hour
or two hour.
Operators at substations/ SLDC / WRLDC would endeavor to keep the line/ ICT loadings
within operating limits and inform WRLDC in case of overloading of any element. Special
emphasis would be paid by each system operator in identifying credible system
contingencies. All possible efforts shall be made to ensure that the system is secure to
withstand the next contingency.
In order to facilitate the supervision of the network loading in Western Region, various
flow gates comprising of important transmission elements have been identified. These
are enclosed as Annex-I.
a) Action under Contingencies
A ready reckoner of suggested remedial actions for few of the credible contingencies is
enclosed at Annex-II.
WRLDC may revise the interchange schedule in case of contingencies or for better
system operation as allowed by IEGC regulations 6.4.12, 6.5.16, 6.5.17 and 6.5.20.
In line with regulation 6.4.12 of IEGC, WRLDC may direct the SLDC/ISGS/other regional
entities to increase/decrease their drawal / generation in case of contingencies e.g.
overloading of lines/transformers, abnormal voltages, threat to system security. Such
directions shall immediately be acted upon.
If required, WRLDC shall suggest NLDC to regulate the power order on inter regional
HVDC links to control the power flow on AC lines.

CHAPTER 3
FREQUENCY AND VOLTAGE CONTROL
3.1 Introduction
For safe and secure grid operation, it is imperative that system parameters i.e.,
frequency, voltage etc., remain close to nominal values. This section highlights the
measures to be adopted by the System Operators at WRLDC / SLDCs / Sub-SLDCs /
GENCOs/ TRANSCOs at their stations for frequency and voltage control.
Each SLDC /Sub-SLDC shall regulate the load / own generation under its control
so that it may not draw more than its schedule by 150 MW or 12% of the
schedule, whichever is lower.
ii.
Each regional entity shall regulate their generation and /or consumers load so as
to maintain their actual drawl from the regional grid close to the schedule.
Maximum inadvertent deviation allowed during a time block shall not exceed the
limits specified in the deviation Settlement Mechanism Regulations.
iii.
In case of shortfall situation in any State constituent, even after requisitioning full
entitlement, it shall strive to bridge the shortfall through STOA or power
exchange. In case of surplus situation in any State constituent, it may reduce
requisition or sell through STOA / power exchange.
iv.
Whenever frequency falls below 49.9 Hz, all partly loaded generating units,
particularly of overdrawing constituents shall pick up additional load to bring back
declining system frequency to the IEGC specified band i.e. 49.9-50.05 Hz.

trend. Similarly, take out Bus Reactors at a Bus, whenever voltage at the
Bus goes below of 390 kV and is on lowering trend.
b) VAR Exchange by constituents for Voltage and Reactive Control
Each constituent shall provide for the supply of its reactive requirements including
appropriate reactive reserves, and its share of the reactive requirements to support
safe and secure power transfer on interconnecting transmission circuits. VAR
compensation shall be met locally. The constituent entities shall take action in regard
to VAR exchange with the grid, looking at the topology and voltage profile of the
exchange point. In general, the beneficiaries shall endeavor to minimize the VAR
drawl at interchange point when the voltage at that point is below the nominal value
and shall not inject VARs when the voltage above the nominal value. In fact, the
beneficiaries are expected to provide local VAR compensation so that they do not
draw any VARs from the grid during low voltage conditions and do not inject any
VARs to the grid during high voltage conditions.
c) AVRs of Generators
All generating units shall keep their Automatic Voltage Regulators (AVRs) in
operation and shall be tuned in line with clause 5.2(k) of IEGC.
d) VAR generation / absorption by generating units
In order to improve the overall voltage profile, the generators shall run in a manner
so as to have counter balancing action corresponding to low/high grid voltage and to
bring it towards the nominal value. In order to achieve the same, all generators shall
generate reactive power during low voltage conditions and absorb reactive power
during high voltage conditions as per the capability limit of the respective generating
unit. The online tap changes (OLTC) on the generator transformer wherever possible
may also be used to achieve nominal voltage whenever required. Off load tap
changes should be used to take care of the seasonal variations in the voltage profile.
e) Transformer Taps
In line with IEGC clause 6.6.5, the transformer tap positions on different 765 and 400
kV class ICTs shall be changed as per requirements in order to improve the grid
voltage. WRLDC shall coordinate and advise the settings of different tap position at
least twice in a year and any change in their positions shall be carried out after
consultation with WRLDC.

CHAPTER 4
DEMAND ESTIMATION & CONTROL
4.1 Objective
This chapter describes the procedures / responsibilities of the SLDCs for demand
estimation for both active and reactive power and also the provision to be made by
SLDCs to effect a reduction of demand in the event of inadequate generating capacity
and / or withdrawal of external assistance in the event of breakdown or operating
problems (such as frequency, voltage levels or thermal overloading) on any part of the
grid.
4.2 Overview
Demand estimation plays a very important role in grid operation. Long term demand
estimation (five years and beyond) is an important input for generation / transmission
planning. Medium term demand estimation (one year and below) constitutes an
important input for outage planning of generating units and transmission lines. The short
term demand estimation (spanning from one week to next time block) facilitates an
important input for generation scheduling. Variation in demand in real time operation
from the estimated values should be within +-2% limits to ensure that the grid is not
affected adversely.
Demand estimation and control is essentially the responsibility of SLDCs and WRLDC
would generally not have a major role in this area except for integrating the demand
value from the constituents and projecting the same as WR demand. WRLDC however,
would give instructions to SLDCs on demand control whenever the same has a bearing
on the security of the regional grid and such instructions would have to be complied by
all SLDCs.

close to their schedule . The Maximum inadvertent deviation allowed
during a time block shall not exceed the limits specified in the deviation
Settlement Mechanism Regulations.
c) The constituents shall endeavor to restrict their net drawl from the grid to
within their respective drawl schedule in line with section 5.4.2(a) of IEGC.
However, , requisite load shedding (manual) shall be carried out in the
concerned State to curtail the over drawal in order to improve the

CHAPTER 5
OPERATIONAL PLANNING
5.1 Objective
This chapter describes the procedures / responsibilities of the SLDCs to develop an
operational planning strategy to ensure that the shortfalls are managed efficiently
through increase in availability by garnering all other resources available and by
planning of load shedding on long term basis (one year) and fine tuning every quarterly,
month ahead, day-ahead and on the day of operation to account for demand forecasting
errors, forced and partial outages of the generating units, transmission constraints etc.
5.2 Overview
The operational planning starts one year ahead in the month of October for the period
April to March next year. The demand control measures planned include scheduled load
shedding for each of the power utilities in the region and this is prepared by the
concerned State Load Despatch Centre. The States also plan for STOA transactions in
a month ahead horizon. Actions are also planned for regulating availability from
resources like captive power plants.
The day ahead planning includes demand forecasting by the States, scheduling of
power from ISGS, MTOA as well as purchasing power through STOA / Power
Exchanges. The demand supply mismatch is mitigated through scheduled load
shedding with correction applied through planning unscheduled load shedding.
The unscheduled load shedding accounts for fluctuations in availability due to forced
outages, transmission outages, fuel related problems or demand fluctuations due to
weather related factors and other important events. The fine tuning of supply demand
balance is achieved by availing UI power on the day of operation.

In line with clause 6.5 of IEGC, under the head of Scheduling & Despatch
Procedure, plant-wise requisitions from the States are compiled to draw up
schedule for each ISGS. The day ahead operational planning exercise
helps the state with large deficit to opt for un-requisitioned power in some
of the ISGS plants within or outside the region.
ii.
The state utilities bridge the anticipated shortfall by day-ahead Short Term
Open Access transactions/collective transactions (PX trades).
The day ahead power balance cannot be obtained without planning for
load shedding in case of deficient power States in the region. Out of the
total deficits for the following day, the scheduled load shedding takes care
of a major portion of the deficits and is planned and frozen at least a month
in advance and announced to public. The balance part of the deficit is
taken care of through planning of unscheduled load shedding.

CHAPTER-8
SCHEDULING AND DESPATCH PROCEDURES
8.1 Overview
Section 6.4 of the I.E.G.C details the demarcation of responsibilities for the purpose of
scheduling and despatch. This chapter describes the procedure for scheduling with the
treatment to be accorded for special conditions also.
8.2 General
For the purpose of scheduling, each day would be divided into 96 blocks of 15-minutes
duration each and for each block, WRLDC would intimate each SLDC the drawl
schedule and to each ISGS and other generators, the generation injection schedule in
advance as outlined in section 8.3 below.
The system of each regional entity shall be treated and operated as a notional control
area. The algebraic summation of scheduled drawal from ISGS and from contracts
through longterm access, medium-term and shortterm open access arrangements
shall provide the drawl schedule of each regional entity, and this shall be determined in
advance on day-ahead basis. The regional entities shall regulate their generation and/or
consumers load so as to maintain their actual drawal from the regional grid close to the
above schedule. Deviation, if any, from the drawl schedule, shall be within the limits
specified by the Central Commission in DSM Regulations and it shall not cause system
parameters to deteriorate beyond permissible limits and shall not lead to unacceptable
line loading. Such deviation from net drawal schedule shall be priced through the
Deviation Settlement (DSM) mechanism as specified by the Central Commission.
The power system under each SLDC constitutes a notional control area and hence the
State would be required to maintain their actual drawl from the grid close to such net
drawl schedule by regulating own generation and / or load, particularly when frequency
falls to 49.9Hz and going above 50.05 Hz.
The dispatch schedule of each ISGS shall be some of the requisitions made by each of
the beneficiaries, restricted to their entitlements and subject to the maximum and
minimum value criteria and any other technical constraints as indicated by WRLDC.
WRPC Secretariat would ensure that any change in the allocations from each
ISGS is finalized and intimated to all concerned at least 24 hours in advance to facilitate
trading of such capacity if required. This is in line with spirit of clause 5.1.3 of the ABT
order of CERC.

CHAPTER 9
GRID DISTURBANCES AND REVIVAL PROCEDURES
9.1 Objective
The objective of this chapter is to facilitate restoration and resynchronization of affected
constituent systems in the wake of grid disturbance in the shortest possible time taking
into consideration all essential requirements like traction loads, industrial loads,
generation capability and the operational constraints of transmission system.
9.2 Overview
As per CEA regulations on Grid standards 2010,
a) Grid disturbance means tripping of one or more power system elements
of the grid like a generator, transmission line, transformer, shunt reactor,
series capacitor and Static VAR Compensator, resulting in total failure of
supply at a sub-station or loss of integrity of the grid, at the level of
transmission system at 220 kV and above.
b) Grid incident means tripping of one or more power system elements of
the grid like a generator, transmission line, transformer, shunt reactor,
series capacitor and Static VAR Compensator, which requires rescheduling of generation or load, without total loss of supply at a substation or loss of integrity of the grid at 220 kV and above.
57 | O p e r a t i n g
Procedure
for W estern
Region
2014
b) Categorization of grid incidents in increasing order of severity,Category GI-1 - Tripping of one or more power system elements of the Grid like a
generator, transmission line, transformer, shunt reactor, series capacitor and Static VAR
Compensator, which requires re-scheduling of generation or load, without total loss of
supply at a sub-station or loss of integrity of the grid at 220 kV
Category GI-2 - Tripping of one or more power system elements of the grid like a
generator, transmission line, transformer, shunt reactor, series capacitor and Static VAR
Compensator, which requires re-scheduling of generation or load, without total loss of
supply at a sub-station or loss of integrity of the grid at 400 kV
c) Categorization of grid disturbance in increasing order of severity,Category GD-1 - When less than ten per cent of the antecedent generation or load in a
regional grid is lost;
Category GD-2 - When ten per cent to less than twenty percent of the antecedent
generation or load in a regional grid is lost.
Category GD-3 - When twenty per cent to less than thirty per cent of the antecedent
generation or load in a regional grid is lost;
Category GD-4 - When thirty per cent to less than forty per cent. of the antecedent
generation or load in a regional grid is lost;
Category GD-5 - When forty per cent or more of the antecedent generation or load in a
regional grid is lost.
Explanation: For the purpose of categorization of grid disturbances, percentage loss of
generation or load, whichever is higher shall be considered.
The dispatch schedule for ISGS, Other Gencos and net drawl schedules (including
STOA) for constituents would be suspended on case to case basis as decided by
WRLDC looking into the network and generation affected. As per IEGC clause 6.5.17,
scheduled generation of all the ISGS and scheduled drawl of all the beneficiaries shall
be deemed to have been revised to be equal to their actual generation/drawl for all the
time blocks affected by the grid disturbance. Certification of grid disturbance and its
duration shall be done by WRLDC.
d) In any case, if only one state system or one ISGS is affected, the schedules
would not be suspended but only revised.

ULDC SCHEME IN WESTERN REGION
12.1 Introduction
Unified Load Dispatch Scheme (ULDC) in WR has been commissioned in July 2006 to
facilitate overall development of load dispatch and communication facilities on control
centers. The scheme envisaged installation and commissioning of Remote Terminal
Units, integration of existing RTUs in Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Goa and
Union Territory of Daman & Diu and Dadra & Nagar Haveli, installation and
commissioning of dedicated communication system comprising of fiber optic and PLCC
system, installation and commissioning of auxiliary power system such as UPS, DG set,
48V DC supply system and installation of EPABX system. Under the scheme, the
Regional System Coordination Centre (RSCC) and Central Project Coordination Centre
(CPCC) were established at Mumbai and Jabalpur respectively whereas State Load
Despatch Centers (SLDCs) were established at Bhilai (Chhattisgarh), Gotri (Gujarat),
Jabalpur (M.P) and Panjim (Goa). Under each SLDC, sub-LDCs were also established.
ULDC scheme operates in a hierarchical structure consisting of state-of-art equipment
and advanced SCADA-EMS functions.
The SCADA real time values acquired at WRLDC Mumbai is further transmitted to
National Load Despatch centre at New Delhi (Main) and Kolkata (Backup) for operation,
monitoring and optimization of national resources. The real time data is also made
available to MOP, CEA and other senior officers at New Delhi. Data flow from substation

CHAPTER 13
WIDE AREA MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS IN WR
1.1 Introduction
One of the greatest advantages of synchrophasor technology is availability of time
synchronized data
obtained from various grid stations spread across a wide
geographical area covering thousands of square kilometers. With the help of
Synchrophasor technology, system operators can monitor the magnitude and angle of
each phase of the three phase voltage/current, frequency, rate of change of frequency
and angular separation at every few millisecond interval (say 40 milliseconds) in the
Load Despatch Centre. Thus the transient / dynamic behavior of the power system can
be observed in near real-time at the control centre which hitherto was possible only in
offline mode in the form of substation Disturbance Records or through offline dynamic
simulations performed on network models.
The endeavor started with a demo project in the year 2012 with two Phasor
Measurement Units (PMUs) at Raipur and Bhadrawati substations and one Phasor Data
Concentrator (PDC) at WRLDC, subsequently interim project with eleven number of
PMUs was commissioned. As on date Nineteen PMUs are reporting to WRLDC PDC.
Thus within a span of two years synchrophasor initiatives resulted in understanding and
harnessing the benefits of the technology with a vision towards large scale deployment
of PMUs all over the grid.

Region
2014
Applications based on Synchrophasor data has become an effective tool for analysis of
grid events and facilitated preparation of an accurate first information report of an event
occurring in the grid.
Apart from post fault analysis, synchrophasor data has been utilized for monitoring &
analysis of oscillation, Computation of Frequency Response Characteristic, Validation of
correct operation of protection system, island detection & re-synchronization of grid,
Dynamic model validation, Visualization of special events such as HVDC frequency
controller testing.
Various customized displays have been made for providing situational awareness on the
grid at WRLDC control room. These displays include frequency, df/dt, sequence
voltages, sequence currents, phase voltages, phase currents and low frequency modes
existing in the system.

Based on quantum of water allocated for RBPH in Ten Daily issued by SSRRC,
NCA will provide information of total machine hours and MW generation possible
for a given day in advance to the power beneficiary States.
On receipt of above information, each power beneficiary State will submit their
demand (P1) set to NCA in terms of MW (15 minutes time block wise
requirement).
(i)
Based on the first priority demand (P1) set submitted by each power
beneficiary States EMC, NCA will prepare a provisional Best Fit
Schedule and will intimate to each power beneficiary States.
(ii)
In case, even after accommodating the first priority demand (P1) set of
a beneficiary State, some energy still remains to be allocated to them or
if any beneficiary State want to have a review in the power allocated in
the provisional Best Fit Schedule then they can submit the additional
demand (P2) set.
Based on the additional demand (P2) set if submitted by States within the
prescribed Time Line then the provisional Best Fit Schedule will be tuned
accordingly and the day ahead schedule will be finalized and intimated to all
concerned parties.
EMC, NCA will prepare Best Fit Schedule for the next day as per the following
method (Td=Total sum Demand of each power beneficiary State, Tav= Total
Availability in MW in a time block)
In a time block if:
a.
Situation I :
If Td <= Tav, then the power allocated in that time block will be as per the

Procedure to run (RTNA) and (STNA)
1.1 Real Time Network Analysis (RTNA)
RTNA module is used to estimate and eliminate the bad data in real time. Once the bad data
is eliminated, the case can be used for doing various studies like transmission line outage,
generator outage etc.
1.1.1 Procedure to run RTNA
1. Open display 5.1 (PNA case index)
i) If case 0 is green, click on control page
ii) If case 0 is white, click on case 0 and assign the case, then click on
control page
iii) On clicking control page, the display 5.1 will appear
a) If control console is yes, proceed to step 2.
b) If Control console is No, click on No, a menu will appear asking for Assume
Control or Override option. Click on the button which is highlighted and execute.
Now you have the control over the RTNA case.
2. In order to run RTNA
i) Click on PROGRAM EXECUTION. The RUN menu would appear.
ii) Click on RTNA
3. RTNA will run through three phases INITNCSE
4. If State Estimator (SE) converges, the color of SE will turn pink with a convergence
message. If SE does not converge, it will turn yellow with a non-convergence message.
5. If the case 0 has a converged solution, it can be used for Study Mode Network Analysis
(STNA) after transferring the case 0 to one of the cases in case 1-6.
1.1.2 Saving and backing up cases.
The user can have only 6 cases for off line study (STNA). However, the user can save back
up up to 130 cases. To copy the back up cases, use the following steps.
1) Open display 5.2
2) Click on Store case control
3) Copy function is used to copy between CASE (Study Case 1-6) and STCs (saved case up
to 130)
Case copy options are:
CASE STCS (Study case to save case)
STCSCASE (Save case to study case)
CASECASE (Study case to study case)
STCSSTCS (Save case to save case)
If you want to copy a real time case (case 0) to STCS 2 for back up, select CASE STCS.
Then click on Data. These boxes will be ready for data entry. Enter 0 on the left hand side
and 2 on the right hand side. Click the enter key. Now click on Perform copy and execute.
Case 0 will be copied to STC2. STC2 will be updated with the latest date and time. The
transfer will take 1-2 minutes and after successful transfer, message execution completed
will appear.

In both SPS scheme, selector switch should not have OFF position.
Loss of single pole: - Transfer power to other pole and there is no need to trip units in
both GRM and metallic return mode.
Loss of both poles:o In case all units are running, trip two units of Stage-III.
o Back up:- If dp/dt exceeds 150MW in 100 milliseconds and incremental flow on
sectionaliser between stage-II&III has exceeded 150MW after two seconds, trip
one unit from 7-9
o Next back up: - If steady state power on sectionalizer is greater than 1000MW in
3.5 seconds, trip another unit from 7-9.
Reverse Power Protection (Power flow from stage II to Stage-III).
o In case of reverse flow from stage I&II to stage-III, due to tripping of units from 79 of stage-III, reduce the power order on HVDC to match generation of stage-III.
o In case of tripping of all the units of Stage-III, pick up setting for the reverse
power protection is 700MW. The HVDC power order would be reduced to
700MW in 1minute.
o Steady state limit for reverse power would be 500MW. This flow shall not exceed
500MW under steady state and regulatory directives in this matter shall be
adhered to by M/s APL.

sections of line between Tirora-Warora and Warora-Wardha.
The output derived from operation of over current protection of Warora-Wardha line at
Warora end shall be carried forward to Tirora by using spare channels from PLCC link between
Warora and Tirora.
10. SYSTEM PROTECTION SCHEME (SPS) AT 400KV TIRORA FOR WARORA CHANDRAPUR-II D/C
WRLDC has declared Wardha flowgate (2480MW) comprising of the following lines:
- 400KV Wardha-Akola D/C
- 400KV Wardha-Parli D/C
APML,Tirora is connected to 400KV Wardha via 400KV Tirora-Warora-Wardha D/C. With the
commissioning of 400KV Warora- Chandrapur-II D/C, major portion of the tirora generation
flows over these ckts. Tripping of 400KV Warora- Chandrapur-II D/C will critically load the
Wardha flowgate and therefore SPS was suggested in case of tripping of 400KV WaroraChandrapur-II D/C.
Case A: If one 400 kV Warora-Chandrapur line trips, automatic backing down of generation to
bring the generation level at APML to 1500 MW.
Case B: If both 400 kV Warora-Chandrapur lines trip, if one unit at Tirora will be tripped if three
units are running. If two units are running, then there is no tripping.
In Case A and Case B, further backing down required, if any, will be advised by SLDC, Kalwa on
real time basis.
Further SLDC, MSETCL to take action regarding increasing Koyna generation/Load shedding for
Wardha flowgate violation more than 2480MW.
Arming of SPS
SPS to be armed i.e. kept ON whenever both the ICTs are in service.
11.3
Disarming of SPS
To be disarmed before taking one ICT in planned shutdown (Load shall be brought down
to 350 MW before taking shut down), MCB is provided in respective 400 KV breaker
contact 21-22 to disarm the SPS for planned shut down of any of the ICT.

With the tripping of any one ckt of 400KV Bachao-Ranchodpura D/C,the grid is not N-1
safe and causes critical loading on ckts emanating from CGPL,Mundra. Hence 400KV
Bachao-Ranchodpura D/C is to be included in SPS at CGPL.

iii)
With the tripping of 765KV Sipat-Bilaspur D/C or Bilaspur-Seoni D/C the evacuation
path is only 765/400KV 2X 1000MVA ICTs. Hence SPS is required at Sipat NTPC.The
proposed SPS is as follows:
(A) If the Ex-Bus generation at Sipat is more than 2200MW(which is 110% of the rated
capacity of both the ICTs) and both the 765KV Sipat-Bilaspur D/C or Bilaspur-Seoni
D/C trips, NTPC shall back down generation quantum equal to (Ex-bus Generation
2200MWs) automatically. Appropriate unit selection at NTPC Sipat may be decided
by NTPC.
(B) Even after backing down the above quantum at A the loading on ICTs is above
100%, NTPC shall manually back down/trip the generation, so that loading on both
the ICTs is acceptable.
