Chapter 1: General Aspects on System Security
This chapter covers the general aspects which affect reliability of the All India grid. Chapters 2 to 6
indicate the constraints faced in Northern, Eastern, Western, Southern and North Eastern regions
respectively during the July-September 2013 quarter.
1.1. Uncertainty in load growth

The planning of transmission system is done on the basis of anticipated generation growth and demand
projections in National Electricity Plans and Electric Power Surveys. However, in actual operation the
demand incident in each state or region or country as a whole is dependent interalia on the following
factors:
 Growth in other sectors of the economy
 Behavior of the South West monsoon and/or North East monsoon
 Supply side constraints within each state or region.
 Transmission constraints
 Financial viability of DISCOMs in the state which has a bearing on power purchase
 Rural electrification programs
State-wise and region-wise details are enclosed as Annex I.
1.2. Grid Events

The section details the near miss situations, incidents of multiple elements outage, natural calamities
impacting the power system and oscillations observed in the system during the period July to September
2013. The following table summarizes the number of grid incidents in different regions during the quarter.
Details of specific events are enclosed as Annex II.

1.3. Synchronization of SR grid with NEW grid
Southern Region grid has been synchronized with NEW grid on 31st December 2013 at 20:25 hours
through 765kV Raichur-Sholapur-1 S/C line. The line was charged from 765kV Raichur end and
synchronized at 765kV Sholapur end. Just prior to the synchronization, it was ensured that the frequency
difference between SR and NEW grid is less than 0.10 Hz and the angular difference is within +/-50. The
oscillations of the order of 0.2 Hz frequency has been observed for 15-20 seconds while the
synchronization of the SR grid with NEW grid. The PMU plots of oscillations during SR and NEW grid
synchronization on 31st December 2013 are shown below.

Fig ii: oscillations observed in the system during SR and NEW grid synchronization on 31 December 2013
1.4. Frequency Response Characteristics
Frequency Response Characteristic (FRC) is a measure of the natural change in frequency to a given
mismatch in load and generation. Frequency response in an electric power system is essentially provided
by natural damping of loads with frequency and primary response of generators. The importance of
primary response has been brought out in clause 5.2 of the CERC (Indian Electricity Grid Code)
Regulations, 2010. Primary response is of quintessential importance for maintaining the system security
in light of the following:
 Integration of renewable generation

 Interconnection of neighboring countries
 Impact of frequency variation on line flows and voltages
 Avoids large fluctuations in frequency: Reliability of Power System

The following tables give FRC for grid incidents which occurred during the period October-December
2013.

This year due to cyclone,

power plants in south
Odisha system had high
availability of water.
Thus, generation at
these power plants
remained normally high.
The entire power
generated by these two

However, major part of
the power generated by

having high reservoir
storage, also lands at

As 220 kV Jaynagar-

summer and monsoon
seasons the demand of
West Bengal remains high
causing dip in Jeerat and
Subhasgram voltage since
there is no adequate
reactive power
compensation or nearby
generator for VAR support.
Further to boost voltage of
132KV level, West Bengal
frequently operates on line
Tap changer of its

peak hours. This leads to
deterioration of voltage
profile at 400KV level.
However towards the end of

respectively. There were
instances when 220 kV Patna-
Khagaul S/C was kept open to
avoid its continuous overloading.
This opening resulted in low
power drawal at Patna ICT.
Further, the power shared by
each circuit of Patna-Barh and
Patna-Balia lines is also low
compared to their carrying
capacity, particularly during
periods of low import by NR.
Due to such reduced anchoring,
high voltage problem occurred
to Patna. Charging of additional
125MVAR bus reactor at Patna
reduced the incidents of line
opening to control overvoltage
considerably. But still with all

remains high.

Thus, injection of VAR from

7. In case of tripping of 400 kV Silchar-Byrnihat line or 220 kV Misa-Byrnihat D/C lines, Southern Part of NER Grid comprising of South Assam,
Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura may become vulnerable.

9. 132 kV Dimapur(PG), 132 kV Imphal (PG), 132 kV Aizawl (PG) are important nodes which cater major loads to Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram
respectively, and Bus Schemes at these substations need to be upgraded to Double Main Bus Scheme, in order to improve reliability of the NER
Power System.
10. At present NER Grid is connected to rest of NEW Grid through only one infeed point i.e. Bongaigaon-Salakati substation. More infeed points
need to be planned and implemented for improving reliability and security of NER Grid.
As per Master Plan of HEPs in Arunachal Pradesh prepared by CEA, there will be +/- 800 kV HVDC Sub-Station at Rowta, LILO of 400 kV
Balipara – Bongaigaon I & II and LILO of 400 kV Balipara – Bongaigaon III & IV at Rowta. AC part of +/- 800 kV Rowta HVDC S/S alongwith
these LILOs may be programmed for early completion. In addition to these activities, 400 kV Rowta – Bongaigaon III & IV may require to be
