GRID CODE
EGC "Describes the
philosophy and the
responsibilities for planning and
operation of Indian power system specified
by the Commission in accordance
with sub section 1(h) of Section 79 of the Act."

The objectives of IEGC are:

Documentation of the principles and procedures.

Defines the relationship between the various Users of the inter-State
transmission system (ISTS), as well as the Regional and State Load
Despatch Centres.

Facilitation of the operation, maintenance, development and planning of

economic and reliable Regional Grid.

Facilitation for beneficial trading of electricity by defining

basis of operation ofthe ISTS, applicable to all the users ofISTS

The scope of IEGC are:

All parties that connect with and/or utilize the ISTs.

Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) treated similar to an STU/SEB

Generating stations Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) and Sardar

Sarover Narmada Nigam Ltd. (SSNNL) shall be treated as intra-State

generating stations, but their transmission systems shall be a part of the

ISTS. All parties that connect with and/or utilize the ISTS Damodar Valley

Corporation (DVC) treated similar to an STU/SEB.

intra-State

A GRID CODE is a technical specification which defines the parameters facility
a
connected to a public electric
grid has to meet to ensure
safe, secure and economic
proper functioning of the electric system. The facility can be
generating plant, a consumer, or another network. The
an electricity
grid
code is
authority responsible for the system integrity and network specified by
an

elaboration usually implicates network operation. Its

operators (distribution or transmission
system operators), representatives of users and, to an
extent varying between
countries, the regulating body.
Contents of a grid code vary depending on the transmission
company's
requirements. Typically, a grid code will specify the
required behavior of a
connected generator during system disturbances.
These include voltage
regulation, power factor limits and reactive power supply, response to a system
fault (e.g. short-circuit), response to
frequency changes on the grid, and
requirement to "ride through" short interruptions of the connection.

There is not a common grid code in all countries and each electric grid has its own
grid code. Even in North America, there is no grid code that applies to all
territories.
