Minutes of the 32nd Meeting of

Protection Coordination Sub-Committee
of SRPC held on 29.05.2014
1 Introduction
The 32nd Meeting of Protection Coordination Sub-Committee (PCSC) was held on 29th
May 2014 in the Conference Hall of Southern Regional Power Committee, Bangalore.
The list of participants of the PCSC meeting is enclosed as Annexure - I.
Shri S. R. Bhat, Member Secretary i/c, SRPC welcomed the Members and the Participants
to the 32nd Meeting of the Protection Coordination Sub-Committee.
MS i/c briefed the members about the communication addressed to Hon'ble CERC in
respect of Phase-I of implementing recommendations of Protection Audit; based on
inputs received from the utilities. He also reminded the Members about the time line for
implementation of activities relating to Phase-II of the same i.e. 1st Sep, 2014. Bimonthly
report in this regard needed to be submitted to Hon'ble CERC. He urged the constituents
to kindly submit the inputs at the earliest, for further necessary action.
MS i/c also informed the Members about the completion of "Transmission line patrolling
guidelines" that had been prepared in consultation with the stake holders. The same had
been submitted to Hon'ble CERC and also posted in the SRPC website for compliance.
He observed that the load relief under UFR was lower than actually desired as observed
through average values visible through SCADA. Members were kindly requested to make
arrangements to ensure the desired load relief under UFR schemes, enabling the grid in a
secure manner.
MS i/c also informed the forum regarding the Sub Group meeting held on 28th May 2014
at SRPC to discuss issues raised by KSEB on account of SPS modifications of Sholapur-
Raichur 765 kV line proposed by NLDC. Many issues had been discussed and resolved
after deliberations. He proposed a Sub Committee to study and review the existing df/dt
settings – rate of decay, quantum of relief, contingency to be considered etc. Members
were informed about the Task Force report on "Power System Analysis under
Contingencies”. The issues addressed in the report needed to be deliberated in the next
PCSC meeting so as to decide the road map to accomplish the tasks given in the report.
MS i/c informed about the two Sub Group meetings of PCSC held in the month of May
2014. One meeting was held at NTECL-Vallur on 19th May 2014 in respect of pollution
related trippings of the lines in Vallur area (North Chennai); another meeting at MAPS-
Kalpakkam in respect of Unit-1 hunting observed on 20th May2014.
2 Confirmation of the Minutes of the 31st PCSC Meeting held on 29th April 2014
The Minutes of the 31st PCSC meeting were confirmed since no comments had been received
from the constituents.

Single Line Diagram
Deliberations:
• The following were noted about the trip event:
o Krishnapatnam – Nellore 1 (AP-Manubolu) line tripped in Zone-2 E/F at
Manubolu end only; carrier aided trip did not operate.
o At SEPL end, back up e/f protection operated and running units 1, 2, 3 tripped.
• SRLDC explained that as the generating units at Krishnapatnam are not in service there
is no source (i.e. V and I signals) to drive the distance relays at Krishnapatnam end
hence the tripping at one end only i.e. Manubolu; SRLDC informed that similar event
had taken place on 25th May2014 @ 17:03 hrs.
• KPCTL suggested for using "weak-infeed" logic for the line.
• SRLDC suggested that at SEPL, it is better to have IDMT characteristics for DEFR than
DMT and the relay has to be coordinated with zone-2 settings of the other lines.
• In the Meeting, it was agreed that AP may consider implementing "weak-infeed" or
other suitable logic in respect of Krishnapatnam-Nellore (AP - Manubolu) lines.
3.2 Grid Disturbance at BTPS Substation on 01-05-2014

(ii) Location Bellary, Karnataka

Fault fired resulting in failure of lightning arrestor
and bus post insulator stacks.
(v) Generation Loss 458 MW
(vi) Duration of interruption 14 Hours to 14 days.
(vii) Category GD 1
From the FIR, the following was noted:

• JSW line had tripped in Zone-1 fault.
• Other lines had tripped in Zone-4.
Single Line Diagram
Deliberations:
KPCL:
• B-phase bushing of GT of unit-1 got flashover and resulted in heavy neutral current
flowing in unit-2.
• Due to blast over the bushing, the lines were hand-tripped by the operator.
• On JSW line carrier was received from Jindal end.
JSW:
• BTPS-JSW line is a LILO line of 11 km length.
• Line auto reclosed at JSW end and normal carrier was sent to other end.
• Existing line settings are provided by KPTCL.
SRLDC:
• SRLDC agreed that the B-phase fault was cleared in time.
• Due to the fact that the line is short, POR (permissible over reach) scheme could be
implemented for distance protection.
• JSW end of BTPS-JSW line should have tripped in Zone-2 instead of Zone-1 and this
aspect needed review.
• KPCL informed that no zone-4 tripping though the same had been mentioned in FIR.
Due to this contradiction, KPCL was requested to submit a detailed report pertaining to
the incident.
KPTCL:
• The time settings of PD (Pole Discrepancy) relay and A/R relay had to be checked and
reviewed at BTPS.
Recommendations
• KPCL was requested to submit the detailed analysis report of the incident within a
week's time.
• KPCL was requested to check & review the time settings of PD (Pole Discrepancy)
relay and A/R relay and the same shall be informed to PCSC forum.
3.3 Grid Disturbance at 400kV NLC TPS Substation on 15.05.2014

(iv)
Fault insulator of Y-Phase quadruple bus and
failure of Pantograph isolator.
(v) Generation Loss Nil
(vi) Duration of interruption 1 Hour 4 minutes
(vii) Category GD 1
• From the FIR, it was noted that there was operation of bus bar protection of both buses
1 & 2 due to failure of string insulators that caused the quadruple bus conductors to fall
on the tubular bus bars of Pugalur-2 line and TS-2 tie line bay.
• The operation had also resulted in tripping of Pugalur-2 line, TS-2 tie line, GT1, and
GT2.
• There was also a tripping of TS-2 Expn – Trichy line due to suspected power swing
phenomenon.
Single Line Diagram
Deliberations:
SRLDC:
• Though the fault was cleared in time, tripping of TS2 – Trichy line on account of power
swing is not a desired operation.
• The programme for disc insulator replacement needed to be given to the forum.
• Disc insulators had to be replaced positively before COD of the generating unit.
NLC:
• NLC displayed photographs of the switchyard with the affected component.
• Line between TS2 Expn. and TS2 is a very small line of 1.3 km length.
• Around 5,200 disc insulators have arrived for replacement in the yard.
• Disc insulator replacement programme would be finalized after discussing with M/s
BHEL.
SRPC:
• BHEL could be impressed upon for expeditious replacement of disc insulators in the
affected area for early restoration.
Recommendations
• NLC was requested to take up the replacement of the disc insulators issue with M/s
BHEL expeditiously.

*32nd PCSC Deliberations

• From the disturbance report it is noted that the east bus voltage went up to 407 kV and to control it Q50 CB of CWC23 filter bank was opened
manually which resulted in IDMT E/F protection operation of the filter.
• Next, BFR (Breaker Failure Relay) protection of Q50 CB of CWC23 filter operated and that led to opening of Q52 and Q50 CBs of CWD20 dia.

ANNEXURE II (2/16)
But, BFR of Q50 CB of CWD20 dia also operated that led to opening of Q51 CB of CWD20 dia and sending DT to remote Jeypore-I end for
tripping the line.
PGICL:
• Insulators are being cleaned once in six months.
• Even after opening the CBs Q50 and Q51 of CWD 20 dia, current conduction was there for 500 msec due to pollutants in the area, which could
have resulted in LBB operation of the Q50 CB.
SRLDC:
• When was the filter banks of the pole cleaned last time?
• A detailed report from PGCIL is required for analysis of the event.
NTPC:
• LBB (BFR) should also give re-trip command to the breaker.
PCSC Recommendations :
• PGCIL shall submit a detailed report on the tripping incident by 6th June, 2014.

SRLDC:
investigation
• Operation of DEFR not desired for
transient fault.
• Auto reclose (AR) not operating for DEFR
is a correct & desired operation.
• Un-matching magnitude of fault current of
11KA @ JSW end and 1.6 kA at Guttur
end could not be possible.
KPCL:
• Due to high fault resistance (i.e. 140 ohm
primary), the current was less (i.e. 1600A)
which could not invoke distance protection
(21).
• DMT with 1.5 sec (which is more than
zone-3 timing) is adopted for DEFR; had
IDMT been adopted, it would not have
tripped.
JSW:
• Fault current was 11 kA at Jindal end and
distance protection along with auto
reclose acted on the JSW-Guttur line.
400kV 22-04-2014 400kV Nellore (PG)-NPS line-2 • It was noted that 400 kV Nellore (PG) –

APTRANSCO:
• O/C and LBB did not operate at AP end.
• The bus sectionalizer CB is belonging to
AP.
SRLDC:
• Though CB tripped, it could not be
found in the event logger.
• PGCIL is required to revise the zone-2
settings at NPS.
PCSC Recommendation
Ø Both APTRANSCO and PGCIL have
to submit a detailed report by
10.6.2014.

32nd PCSC Deliberations & Recommendations
• It is noted that there was a Y-phase to earth fault near KKNPP end and the line tripped in Zone-1 at KKNPP and Zone-2 in Madurai
end.
• Despite sending carrier from KKNPP, Madurai end did not receive it and without auto reclosing tripped in Zone-2.
NPCIL:
• There was no fault on the Madurai – Kudankulam line.
• After successful implementation of auto reclose for one and half breaker scheme at Rajasthan Atomic Power Plant, the same
would be implemented at KKNPP.
6
ANNEXURE II
PGCIL:
• If pressure in the CB is less than 32 kg/cm2, then there would be a lock out; if it is about 30.5 kg/cm2 then it would give auto
reclose lock out.
• There was a problem with pressure switch of the circuit breaker on the Madurai-Kudankulam line and it has been rectified.
SRLDC:
• Power plant like NLC’s TS2 has implemented auto reclose feature on the evacuating lines.
• The schedule for completing auto reclose feature at Rajasthan Atomic Power Plant and then at KKNPP shall be intimated by
NPCIL before next PCSC meeting.
Recommendations
Ø NPCIL is requested to inform the PCSC forum regarding the implementation schedule of auto reclose feautre at Rajasthan Atomic
Power Plant and KKNPP.

pump -7 got tripped on protection. In consequence to pump tripping reactor got tripped resulting in unit outage. Unit-2 was synchronized after grid
normalization at 13.36hrs.
Total 8 no of line trips could not be justified & 6 no's of incidents were line faults.
32nd PCSC Deliberations
MAPS:
• There were 18 outages recently due to spurious trippings. Arani line alone tripped about 5 times.
• Arani line is tripping frequently without any fault on the line and the fault distance is known.
• On many occasions during the line trip and subsequent voltage dip effect, the AVR of the generating unit is switching over from automatic to
manual mode on its own. When the voltage becomes normal, AVR is taken from manual to automatic mode manually.
• TANTRANSCO was requested to carry out line patrolling for locating any trouble spots, if any.
• On 22.5.2015, two units at Kalpakkam went on house load.
• From MAPS to TANTRANSCO, there are two lines to Singamperumal (SP) Koil, one line each to Arani and Acharapakkam.
• On 22.5.2014, TANTRANSCO lines (i.e. SP Koil lines-1&2) were radially drawing a load of 450 MW while MAPS was generating around 330
MW. Since there is no connectivity to grid for MAPS, momentarily there was an island formation with 330 MW generation and 450 MW load
which could not sustain and the generating units at MAPS went on house load on account of u/f operation at 47.65 hz after opening the GCB of
the units.
• MAPS opined that had Acharapakkam line been there, the incident could have been prevented.
MS i/c:
• If any Line Clearance (LC) is there in that area for maintenance, then further opening of the lines have to be restricted for avoiding undesired
island formation of MAPS generation with TANTRANSCO loads.
• The MAPS islanding issue would be discussed in the next PCSC meeting.

ANNEXURE IV (1/17)
ANNEXURE IV (2/17)
Discussions held on 28 th May 2014 on the observations of KSEB on different SPS

Schemes implemented post synchronization in WR & SR.
SPS 1 & 3:
It was explained that proposed load relief from the states could not be solely
based on their demand. Usage of ISTS network was also a very important
parameter. Though demand met could be lower, relative usage of ISTS network
in meeting this demand was also to be borne in mind. Another aspect in viewing
the same would be the ISGS allocation /allocation from Talcher-II station of NTPC
and total import ratios of SR beneficiaries.
It was therefore agreed that the existing scheme of load relief be retained. The
matter would be reexamined after commissioning of second circuit of 765 kV
Raichur-Sholapur link and experience post commissioning of the same.
To minimize repeated inconvenience to the same set of consumer on account of

SPS operation, it was suggested that states could come out with suitable schemes
for round robin/rotational load shedding. This would help ensure equitable
sharing of effects of SPS operation.
SRLDC observed that efficacy of the rotational load shedding needed to be

studied in real time operation. Hence, parallel operation for a couple of instances
so as to ascertain actual relief and validation would need to be done before any
migration to the new scheme. Further, there should not be any time delay in
obtaining the load relief. KPTCL informed that the maximum time limit to obtain
the relief would be less than 1000 milli second.
1
It was noted that the number of SPS operations in Southern Region had reduced
of late.
SPS 2:
It was noted that NLDC had already advised blocking of this scheme.
SPS 3:
The matter had been discussed in the Special Meeting held at Hyderabad on 18 th
January 2014. In that Meeting, the need for SPS operation in Southern Region to
meet eventuality of loss of import due to tripping of 765 kV line had already been
discussed and agreed.
POWERGRID was requested to expedite commissioning of this proposed SPS in

the interest of system security.
SPS 4
It was observed that SR Grid was presently connected with WR Grid through
single 765 kv line. Hence, all loads in SR were equally sensitive to the flow on 765
kV Raichur-Sholapur line. As regards load aspect, the same has already been
covered under SPS 1 & 3.
SPS 5 & 6
It was agreed that the matter regarding appropriate load shedding in

Maharashtra system would be taken up with NLDC and WRPC for necessary
compliance.
2
SPS 7
After discussions, it was felt that for flow exceeding 1,500 MW from SR to NEW
Grid, need for 765 kV line tripping may need examination. It was felt that NLDC
could be requested to carry out necessary studies to further examine this
suggestion.Ability of SR Grid to absorb the jerk of sudden loss of export of power
greater than 1,500MW could also be referred to NLDC.
SPS 8 & 9
It was explained by SRLDC that choice of loads had already been made
appropriately. The loads had been identified on the downstreamportion of the
lines so as to give proper relief.
KPTCL and APTRANSCO confirmed the above.
SPS 10
It was clarified by SRLDC that signal 3 had been devised on account of the
extended mode of operation of HVDC.(2500 MW for 10 hrs a day)Earlier, there
was uncovered load of about 500 MW not covered in any load relief scheme. This
was expected to be absorbed by the SR Grid since there was no interconnected
AC link with NEW Grid. However, after commissioning of 765 kV line, any pole
outage would result in increased power flow on the AC inter connection. Hence,
the two conditions had been concatenated. In case the same was not done,
there could be operation of other SPS schemes on account of higher flow through
Raichur-Sholapur line and upstream line.
SPS 11
It was noted that separate loads for Kudankulam SPS had already been identified.
3
Other
Constituents desired that a comprehensive list of SPS Schemes along with the
operating logics be made available to them, since number of modifications had
been proposed/ implemented.
