Chapter 1
1. General
1.0. Introduction
In compliance to the IEGC (Indian Elecricity Grid Code) clause no 5.1(f) this internal Operating
Procedure for Eastern Region is developed in consultation with the regional constituents of Eastern
Region. Eastern Region Grid system comprises of the states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, West
Bengal and Sikkim and has an operating area of 4,25,423 sq km, which is about 13% of the total area
of the country. Damodar Valley Coprporation (DVC) established under sub-section (1) of Section 3 of
the Damodar Valley Corporation Act, 1948 in eastern region is an integrated utility similar to
STU/SEB encompassing part of the states of West Bengal and Jharkhand and has its own generation,
transmission and Distribution facilities in its identified command area. Eastern Region is strategically
located and has interconnections with all the other regions as well as with neighbouring countries like
Bhutan and Nepal.
The IEGC brings together the different terms, encompassing all the utilities connected to / or
using the Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) and provides documentation in regard to
relationship between various users of the ISTS. It lays down the rules and guidelines for planning,
development, operation and maintenance of the grid in an efficient, reliable and economical
manner.
The internal operating procedure as prepared by ERLDC is to clearly specify the roles of each player
in the grid i.e., Central Sector Generating and Transmission Utilities, State Utilities, Independent
Power Producers, Traders, System Operators and other agencies operating in the power market to
facilitate grid operation in efficient, reliable and economic manner.
1.1. Scope
This document describes the role of all agencies connected in the region in order to operate the grid
in an integrated manner promoting efficiency, reliability and economy in conformation to the desired
security standards and to meet the common interests of all the agencies.
1.2. Objective
Objective of this document is to describe the procedures to be adopted for integrated system
operation and roles of each agency and their responsibilities in the grid in compliance to the various
provisions of IEGC. This document aims at operation, maintenance and development of regional
power system in the most efficient, economic, secure and reliable manner. This document also aims
to facilitate beneficial trading opportunities between utilities within as well as outside the region to
harness bottled up power
1.3. Maintenance of Operating Procedures

The Operating Procedure shall be maintained by ERLDC and reviewed periodically. However, in the
event of any specific operational issues/philosophy requiring urgent revision of the procedure, the
same may be expeditiously carried out in consultation with the Regional constituents. Further,
whenever amendments are made in the IEGC, UI, Open Access, Congestion managment and related
regulations, the operating procedure would be also be amended accordingly.

ERLDC:POSOCO
Chapter 2
2. Frequency Management
2.0. Frequency Standard
IEGC vide its clause 5.2(m) has mandated that all Regional entities shall make all possible efforts to
ensure that the grid frequency always remains within the 49.7-50.2 Hz band,. Frequency is the most
important indicator of the quality of supply and is the global parameter in the grid i.e. it is same
throughout an inter-connected power system. Since frequency is a function of the load-
generation balance, it is subject to variation on a continuous basis as either of the two viz.
generation or load may vary from time to time. Whenever, the frequency approaches upper/lower
limits of the above range, advance action needs to be initiated in order to arrest further rise/fall in
frequency; as it takes some time for remedial measures to give desired result. Therefore, in
practice, whenever frequency exceeds 50.1Hz. and is in rising trend, action shall be initiated to
contain the same. Similarly when frequency touches 49.8 Hz. and is in falling trend, action shall
be initiated to improve the same.
2.1. High Frequency Conditions

In case the frequency is high (above 50.1Hz) and is in increasing trend then the following actions
may be initiated:
2.1.1 ERLDC shall check whether the high frequency condition is due to the heavy under-
drawal by any entity within the region or by neighbouring regions. In the latter case, the
matter has to be brought to the notice of the concerned region as well as NLDC for
necessary remedial action
2.1.2 ERLDC shall advise the regional entities within ER to lift load shedding if any.
2.1.3 If the frequency of the Southern region is lower than ER frequency, ERLDC shall explore
the possibility of increasing UI export after due checking of voltage conditions and network
loading. In case any major network constraint is envisaged while exporting UI to Southern
Region through ER-SR HVDC links, ERLDC may in consultation with WRLDC, NRLDC
and NLDC explore the possibility of exporting UI through WR-SR HVDC link to SR.
2.1.4 However, before taking up with other regions / NLDC, ERLDC would check the possibility
of any backing down of the reservoir based hydro stations within state system .
2.1.5 ERLDC before advising any generation reduction at the hydro stations, in consultation
with concerned SLDC, would check back whether such reduction would cause any
adverse change in voltage levels or network loading in the ISTS. Similarly, the concerned
SLDC would also assess the impact on its intra-state network. In case any problem is
envisaged due to such generation reduction, the same shall be avoided.
2.1.6 Explore the possibility of running of Purulia Pump storage hydro units in pump mode, in
consultation with SLDC, West Bengal.
2.1.7 Advise/remind the states to back down costly generation as per merit order by taking
adequate support from SCADA. The applicable UI rate as revised by CERC (w.e.f 17-09-12)
is shown at Annexure IV.
2.1.8 If any ISGS (other than must run) is generating more than their schedule, advise the ISGS
to reduce the over injection.
2.1.9 The Hydro stations of Bhutan power system exporting power to India are not covered
commercially under ABT mechanism. Backing down advice on account of high frequency
conditions may be issued to stations at Tala, Chukha and Kiruchu of Bhutan system only
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
after all possible remedial measures are exhausted. However, in case the stations are
noticed generating extra with respect to schedule issued , ERLDC shall attempt revising
the generation schedule with due revision of constituents drawal schedule.
2.1.10 At a frequency above 50.0 Hz, any regional entity / control area that is in need of power,
should have enough incentive to draw UI, subject to volume restrictions as provided in UI
regulations, which requires no prior agreement.
2.1.11 In case any regional entity is underdrawing/overinjecting, ERLDC may advice to maintain
net exchange as per schedule.
2.1.12 In case any regional entity is under-drawing, ERLDC may advice concerned SLDC for
considering surrendering of its share from ISGS, based on merit order
2.1.13 If the frequency is still high, and action from underdrawing beneficiaries is not
forthcoming, ERLDC shall suo-motto reduce the generation schedule of ISGS with
corresponding downward revision of schedule of the concerned beneficiary
2.1.14 Backing down of the spilling hydro units or the run-off-the-river units for short duration may
also be considered if all other options are exhausted.
2.2. Low Frequency Conditions

If the frequency is less than 49.8 Hz. and has a decreasing trend, the following actions may be
taken:
2.2.1 ERLDC shall check whether the low frequency condition is due to the heavy over-drawal
by regional entities or by the neighbouring regions. In the event of overdrawal by
neighbouring regions, matter may be brought to the notice of NLDC through written
messages with a copy/ies to the RLDC of the over drawing region/s Sample message
format to be issued to NLDC/Other RLDCs is at Annexure VI.
2.2.2 Alternately, if the frequency of Southern Region is high, ERLDC operator would attempt
importing UI from Southern region using the ER-SR HVDC link. If any major network
constraint is envisaged because of such UI import ERLDC in consultation with WRLDC
may explore importing of UI in the NEW Grid from southern region through SR-WR HVDC
link.
2.2.3 If any unit of Purulia Pump storage is operating in pump mode and if the concerned STU
is over drawing, ERLDC shall advise the concerned SLDC for discontinuing the pump
operation.
2.2.4 ERLDC may advise all regional entities / control areas, through their respective SLDCs to
maximize their internal generation viz. hydro, thermal, IPP etc. in case margins are
available.
2.2.5 The UI (Amendment) regulations 2012 already lays down appropriate financial and legal
penalties for under-generation / over-drawal at low frequency. Nevertheless, if any ISGS
is under-generating, it may be reminded to generate as per schedule. If such generation
increase is not possible due to any technical constraints, the concerned ISGS may be
advised to reduce its Declared Capability. ERLDC would then correspondingly reduce the
drawal schedules of all concerned beneficiaries (including outside regions) and advise
them to maintain their net exchanges as per their respective revised schedules.
2.2.6 The Actual receipt from the Hydro stations from Bhutan may be closely monitored under
low frequency conditions. In case such receipt is less than the schedule, because of some
technical reasons like low inflow etc., ERLDC may suo motto revise the generation
schedule downwards with corresponding downward revision of drawal schedules of the
respective constituents who have share on such stations. Such downward revision shall
be duly informed to the concerned beneficiaries with an advise to curtail their drawal from
the grid.
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
2.2.7 If the frequency is less than 49.8Hz. and has a falling trend, remind the SLDC(s) of
overdrawing regional entity /entities telephonically to maintain frequency by picking up
internal generation/ curtailing overdrawal. The estimation of over-drawal has to be done
corresponding to nominal frequency (50.0 Hz) after applying requisite frequency bias
correction on the exchange at the prevailing off-nominal frequency.
2.2.8 Issue caution messages Category A, violation message Category B & Category C to
overdrawing constituent/s within region as per the guidelines. If no relief is forthcoming,
request them to take self regulatory measures by opening the radial feeders if possible.
The broad guidelines for issuance of Category A, Category B and Category C messages
are detailed below at 2.3 of this chapter.
2.2.9 If the frequency is less than 49.7 Hz and it may appear that practically no control area is
as such overdrawing, a general message may be issued to all regional entities requesting
to estimate their respective actual net exchanges at 50.0 Hz (after applying necessary
frequency correction factor on the existing interchange) and improve internal generation/
shed loads wherever the estimated actual drawal corresponding to 50.0 Hz exceeds the
net scheduled drawal. Before issuing above messages, it is to be ensured that SCADA
data of the drawls is in order and there is no UI export to other region.
2.2.10 ERLDC may further examine the latest status of thermal units under outage (forced) and
find out when the units are expected to be on bar and take up for expediting the same.
2.2.11 As a long term measure, It may be examined that whether a planned maintenance of any
unit can be postponed without much affecting the AMP of other units.
2.3. Broad Guidelines for Issue of Over drawl messages

While issuing any messages, ensure that SCADA data for the drawls and injections of ISGS is in
order.
1. Category A Message( Vide Annexure V(a))
Message ‘A’ would be issued to an overdrawing state(s) if the frequency is less than 49.8
Hz and the UI is more than 150 MW or above 12%, of schedule, whichever is less, and
there is a downward trend in frequency.
And/Or
There are repeated instances of high overdrawal, irrespective of the frequency.
For this purpose, if more than one State is overdrawing, a single message addressing one
or more overdrawing state/s can be issued.
2. Category B Message( Vide Annexure V(b))
Message ‘B’ would be issued under following conditions:
Frequency is less than 49.70 Hz

And/or
UI is more than 150 MW or above 12% of schedule whichever is less under the
conditions when the frequency is less than 49.80 Hz for more than the last 10 minutes
And/or
There are repeated instances of high overdrawal, irrespective of the frequency
Though not mandatory, it would however be attempted that the ‘Message A’ is generally
issued prior to the issuance of ‘Message B’. However, in case of sudden increase in
overdrawal by a state and/or sharp fall in frequency and/or there are repeated instances of
high overdrawal by the given utility, ‘Message B’ may be issued independent of ‘Message A’,
without waiting for the given time period.
For this purpose, if more than one regional entity is overdrawing, separate message shall be
given to each of them, as it is a violation message and each entity is to be dealt with
separately before CERC. While issuing such message the schedule and actual drawal may
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
be clearly indicated. The Message must a clear number with date and time. The message
along with the print out shall be preserved as record for all future actions such as producing
them before the CERC etc. In case there is overdrawal by synchronously connected
neighbouring region(s) a message indicating the schedule and actual drawal by such region(s)
may be mentioned. It is to be noted that post synchronous interconnection between Northern
and Western Regions one of them may be underdrawing while the other may be overdrawing.
Under such circumstances ERLDC Operator may cross verify the net UI (as a whole) of each
of these regions before bringing the matter to NLDC.
3. Category C Message( Vide Annexure V(c))
Message ‘C’ would be issued under following conditions:
Overdrawal when frequency is less than 49.70 Hz;

And/Or
Overdrawal is more than 150 MW or above 12% schedule whichever is less, when
frequency is less than 49.80 Hz for more than the last 15 minutes;
And/Or
There are repeated instances of high overdrawal, irrespective of the frequency
Like ‘B’ message, in case of ‘C’ message also, generally it would be issued after a ‘B’ message.
However, in case of sudden increase in the overdrawal by a state and/or sharp fall in frequency
and/or repeated instances of high overdrawal by the given utility, ‘Message C’ may be issued
independent of ‘Message B’, without waiting for the given time period.
4. Feeder disconnection in case of over drawl at 49.7 Hz or below

As per provisions 5.4.2 (a) & 5.4.2 (b) of the Grid Code all constituents are required to
reduce their overdrawal moment the frequency falls to 49.8 Hz and start demand
disconnection when the frequency falls below 49.7 Hz. In case repeated warning massages
from ERLDC to curb over drawal does not yield any results, ERLDC will instruct the
defaulting constituents to disconnect identified radial feeders within their respective systems
for reduction of over drawl. Concerned constituents should send compliance report to
ERLDC in this regard after taking necessary action. .
5. General Message when no state is overdrawing more than 100 MW but frequency is
running low:
At times, the over drawal by the regional entities may be less than 100 MW but frequency is less
than 49.7 Hz. In such occasions, when expected relief is not forthcoming, a general message
may be issued indicating the real time values of frequency, frequency corrected drawl /frequency
corrected UI( MW restriction needed), highlighting the urgency of the matter and informing the
amount of load shedding to be carried out by the constituents to improve the frequency.
The above stated actions for controlling high / low frequency are of a general nature and
applicable so long as there is no incident / disturbance in the regional grid. In case of sudden
outage of multiple elements and / or partial separation / collapse of the regional grid, ERLDC may
direct any regional entity to increase / decrease its net interchange by a certain amount at the
earliest. Such instructions have to be forthwith complied with by the concerned regional entity /
entities.

3. Voltage Management
3.0. Introduction
In compliance to the IEGC (Indian Electricity Grid Code) clause no 5.2(s) all regional constituents
shall make all possible efforts to ensure that the grid voltage always remains within the following
operating range
Nominal Maximum Minimum

(KV –Rms) (KV –Rms) (KV –Rms)
765 800 728
400 420 380
220 245 198
132 145 122
Eastern Region Grid has a very good spatial distribution of generation rendering a better voltage
profile across 400 kV and 220kV network. However, in some pockets of 132kV system where radial
loads are fed, occasional low voltage is experienced. Post commissioning of Tala Transmission
system exhaustive 400kV networks have been laid. This part of the network is essentially used to
evacuate the hydro power from Bhutan system, generation of Teesta-V HPS and surplus hydro power
of North Eastern Grid during monsoon. During non-monsoon season, with receding hydro, the Tala
Transmission system experiences high voltage during lean hours. Although adequate reactive
compensation has been provided yet resorting to opening of lines are not uncommon during the
months of winter. Rest of the 400kV system usually operates within the prescribed voltage limit as
specified in the IEGC. 400kV stations at Jeypore occasionally experience low or high voltages due
to the low fault MVA of these stations. As the HVDC station Gajuwaka is also connected to Jeypore
having low fault MVA, any power flow change associated with switching of filter banks operation
render at times wide fluctuations in voltage at 400kV level.
3.1. AVRs of Generators
As per the provisions of clause 5,2(k) of IEGC, all generating units shall keep their Automatic Voltage
Regulators (AVRs) in operation and power system stabilizers (PSS) in AVRs be appropriately tuned.
3.2. VAR Exchange by constituents for Voltage and Reactive Control
In line with clause 4.6.1(a) of IEGC each agency shall provide adequate compensation of its reactive
requirements including appropriate reactive reserves, to support safe and secure power transfer on
interconnecting transmission circuits. The agencies 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 regional
entities shall endeavour 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 regional entities 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.
3.3. 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 backbone 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
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
of the respecting generating units. The online tap changers (OLTC) on the generator transformer
wherever possible should also be used to achieve this. Off load tap changes should be used to take
care of the seasonal variations in the voltage profile.
3.4. Transformer Taps

In line with IEGC clause 6.6.4, the transformer tap positions on different 400kV class ICTs shall
be changed as per requirements in order to improve the grid voltage. ERLDC shall coordinate
and advise the settings of different tap position and any change in their positions shall be carried
out after consultation with ERLDC. A list of tap positions for 400/220kV ICTs as on 30.04.12 is
enclosed at AnnexureVII . ERLDC operator shall maintain this list and incorporate due changes
and reasons for change of 400/220kV ICT tap positions. Frequent on line tap changing may be
avoided to the extent possible. Any measure to maintain the voltage profile within the operating
range by way of change of ICT taps may be resorted to through detailed study and observing
the real time voltage profile of the concerned station/s. As a part of such study, ERLDC shall duly
examine from the weekly special energy meter data the pattern of VARh drawal by regional
entities at various ISTS interconnection points at HIGH/LOW voltage. Effort shall be made to
identify such ISTS points where regular VARh charge payment to regional pool takes place.
Necessary measure shall be initiated to set optimum ICT taps so as to minimise such payment to
pool.
3.5. Control of Voltage at grid substations/generating stations

Following corrective measures in order of priority shall be taken by ERLDC and for ISTS system
and by SLDC for regional entities in the event of voltage going beyond the operating limits as
stipulated in IEGC.
3.5.1 High Voltage:

In the event of high voltage (e.g. 400 kV voltage going beyond 415 kV and having a rising
trend) following specific steps would be taken by the respective grid substation/generating
station at their own, with intimation to ERLDC, unless specifically mentioned by
ERLDC/SLDCs. Before taking any voltage control action the reason for high voltage as
observed /reported be carefully studied The network adjoining to the substation/s
experiencing high voltage be also carefully studied and areas/substations /generating
stations be identified where voltage control measures need to be taken in the following
order of priority
a) The bus reactor be switched in
b) The switchable line/tertiary reactor are taken in ( a list of Bus reactors /line reactors
and tertiary reactors available at ER grid is enclosed at Annexure VIII
c) Optimization of the filter banks at HVDC terminal (provided high voltage is being
experienced in the vicinity of the terminal)
d) The Generating units on bar at the stations in proximity to high voltage areas, absorb
reactive power within the limits of their capability curves.
e) Check the possibility of changing the transformer Tap if one side of ICT is witnessing
High voltage while other side is having low voltage.
f) Checking possibility of rerouting /change of power flow on HVDC terminals so that
loading on parallel EHV network can be altered that may result in reduction in voltage.
g) ERLDC/SLDCs shall consider opening one circuit of lightly loaded multi circuit lines
around the area /substation where high voltage is reported, ensuring security of the
balance network. In case it becomes essential to switch out one of the circuits of inter-
regional lines to mitigate high voltage at one or more inter-regional sub-stations, due
consent would be obtained from the concerned neighbouring RLDC (s) and NLDC.

ERLDC:POSOCO
3.5.2 Low Voltage Condition

In the event of low voltage(e.g. 400 kV voltage going below 390 kV and have a declining
trend), following specific steps would be taken by the respective grid
substation/generating station at their own, with intimation to ERLDC, unless specifically
mentioned otherwise by ERLDC/SLDCs. However, before taking any voltage control
action, the reason for low voltage as observed /reported be carefully studied. The
network adjoining the substation/s experiencing low voltage be also carefully studied and
areas/substations /generating stations be identified where voltage control measures need
to be taken in the following order of priority
a) Close the lines which were opened to control high voltage after obtaining due
permission from ERLDC/SLDCs.
b) The bus reactor be switched out
c) The switchable line/tertiary reactor be taken out
d) Optimization of the filter banks at HVDC terminal
e) Check the possibility of changing the transformer Tap if one side of ICT is
witnessing Low voltage while other side is having High voltage
f) All generating units on bar shall generate reactive power upto the limits of their
respective capability curves.
g) Operate hydro generator for VAR generation i.e. at lagging p.f.
h) Check possibility of altering HVDC power flow settings on HVDC terminals so that
loading on parallel EHV network goes down resulting in rise in voltage.
3.6. Switching off the line reactors in case of low voltage

In the event of persistent low voltage conditions, some of the line reactors are to be selected on the
basis of line length, grid conditions, network topology etc., which can be switched off in order to
improve the system voltage profile. The details of such reactors in ER Grid are listed at Annexure V
of this document. The switching off of such line reactors and reviving them back would be carried out
as per the instructions issued by ERLDC.

4. Outage Planning
4.0. Introduction
In reference to the clause 5.7.1 of IEGC, this chapter sets out the procedure for preparation of outage
schedule for generating units and transmission elements of the region in a coordinated and optimal
manner keeping in view the regional system operating conditions and maintaining load generation
balance in the system. Adequate security margins shall be ensured while preparation of the
generation and transmission outage programme. ERPC secretariat shall be responsible for
preparation of the annual outage plan in advance for the financial year and be reviewed on monthly
basis.
4.1. Objective
4.1.1 To formulate a coordinated outage programme of transmission lines and generating units for
the regional grid considering all the available regional resources and taking into account
transmission constraints as well as other requirements.
4.1.2 To minimise surplus or deficit, if any, in the requirement of power and energy and help to
operate system within the grid standards.
4.1.3 To optimise the transmission outages of the elements of the Eastern Regional grid that should
not affect adversely the regional grid operation but take into account the generation outage
schedules, outage of SEB/STU systems thereby maintaining security standards.
4.2. Scope
The scope of this chapter is applicable to all agencies viz. SEBs/STUs, ISGSs, IPPs. MPPs and CTU
as well as RLDC, SLDCs, (vide clause 5.7.3 of IEGC). For the purpose of a coordinated maintenance
programme, outage programme for the generating stations at Bhutan viz. Tala HEP, Chukha HEP
and Kiruchu HEP and its associated transmission system shall also be covered within the scope of
outage planning procedure of Eastern Regional Grid system.
4.3. Outage Planning Procedure:

4.3.1 For the purpose of Load Generation Balance (LGB)/ Outage planning process, OCC
(Operation Coordination Committee) of ERPC shall, in general, be the forum for reviewing and
deciding the outage planning.
4.3.2 It shall be the responsibility of the ERPC secretariat to analyse the outage programmes
proposed by various agencies and, prepare a draft annual outage schedule for finalization of
the annual outage plan for the following financial year by 30th November of each year.
4.3.3 All SLDCs/STUs, CTU, ISGS, IPPs, MPPs shall provide RPC Secretariat their proposed
outage programmes in writing for the next financial year by 31st October of each year. These
shall contain identification of each generating unit/line/ICT, the preferred date for each outage
and its duration and where there is flexibility, the earliest start date and latest finishing date.
4.3.4 Each load serving control area shall be responsible to match its demand with the anticipated
availability from its own plant(s) and availability from ISGS / other purchase / sale contracts.
The SLDC/STUs along with the proposed outage programme, therefore, shall also furnish
details of the anticipated load generation balance report(LGBR) to ERPC secretariat in order
to facilitate preparation of the annual outage plan
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
4.3.5 ERPC Secretariat after receiving the outage programme will study the following :-
i) Total power and energy availability( for peak and off-peak condition)
ii) Monthwise availability and requirement
iii) In case of both surplus and deficit, proper staggering of generation outage to
reduce/ eliminate the deficit.
iv) In case of only deficit efforts to be taken to even out high and low deficit by
staggering of generation outage.
v) The anticipated programme for bilateral transaction under STOA or otherwise by
state beneficiaries
4.3.6 ERPC Secretariat shall then come out with a draft load generation balance report (LGBR) and
draft outage programme for the next financial year by 31st December of each year for the
Regional grid taking into account the available resources in an optimal manner and to
maintain security standards. This will be done after carrying out necessary system studies and,
if necessary, the outage programmes shall be rescheduled. Adequate balance between
generation and load requirement shall be ensured while finalising outage programmes.
4.3.7 The final outage plan alongwith the Load Generation Balance report(LGBR) shall be prepared
in consultation with NLDC and RLDC and intimated to NLDC, Users, STUs, CTU, other
generating stations connected to ISTS and the RLDC for implementation latest by 31st

4.4.4 In case of shutdown of inter-regional lines and intra-regional lines affecting the transfer
capability of any inter regional corridor, the Indenting agency shall submit the shutdown
proposal in both the concerned RPCs. To facilitate this broad list of such lines is indicated at
Annexure II which will be reviewed and updated by NLDC from time to time. The indenting
agency may do an internal screening of its outage plan centrally to avoid multiple outages in
the same corridor simultaneously. Bilateral discussion between the agencies involved may
also be done to minimize outage duration before submitting the outage plan to RPCs.
4.4.5 ERPC Secretariat shall compile all the received proposals and put up the same on its website
by 5th day of the month as per Format IIA / Format IIB.
4.4.6 System Study sub-committee of ERPC shall study the impact of these outages and based on
its recommendations, ERPC shall discuss proposed outages in the OCC meeting and prepare
a list of approved transmission outages with the precautions to be taken. ERPC would attempt
to schedule all their OCC meetings between 10th to 15th day of the month so that sufficient
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
time is available both to the Study Committee before the OCC meetings as well as for
ELDC/NLDC (mainly to take care of further changes in the network topology and/or in load
generation) after the OCC meeting.
4.4.7 While approving the shutdowns it shall be ensured that outages in the same corridor shall not
be approved simultaneously. It also need to be ensured that all other concerned entities
should also complete their work during the shutdown period so as multiple shutdown of same
element for work by multiple agencies are avoided. The multiple outages of the transmission
element for the same work during the year may also be avoided.
4.4.8 ERPC shall send the list of approved transmission outages to SLDCs/ELDC/NLDC within 3
days of the OCC meeting and preferably latest by 18th of the month as per Format IIIA /
Format IIIB. The same shall also be displayed on ERPC websites.

only if it is approved in both the RPCs.
4.4.10 After the receipt of Format IIIA / Format IIIB from each RPC, NLDC in consultation with
RLDCs may prepare a tentative readjusted timings/dates of transmission element outages for
next month considering the principles set out in this procedure
4.4.11 In case of emergency in the system, viz., loss of generation, break down of transmission line
affecting the system, grid disturbances, system isolation, RLDC may conduct studies again
before clearance of the planned outage.
4.4.12 Vide clause 4.7(g) of IEGC ERLDC is authorised to defer any planned outage in case of any
of the following taking into account the statutory requirements:
i) Major grid disturbances (Total black out in Region)
ii) System isolation / separation
iii) Black out in a control area

4.5.2 On the day of outage, the outage availing agency shall seek the code for availing outage from
ERLDC/NLDC (wherever applicable). The agencies involved shall endeavour to avail the
outage with in 15mintues of availing the code but not later than 30 minutes. In case, due to
any contingency, the outage could not be availed within 30 minutes, a fresh code needs to be
obtained by all concerned agencies stating the reason there of Record of scheduled and
actual time of outage and restoration shall be maintained at ERLDC/NLDC.
4.5.3 ERLDC shall prepare a monthly statement of scheduled and actual time of outage and
restoration and forward the same to ERPC latest by 05th day of the next month with a copy to
NLDC.
4.5.4 SLDCs shall prepare a monthly statement of scheduled and actual time of outage and
restoration and forward the same to ERPC latest by 05th day of the next month with a copy to

5. Switching Coordination
5.1. Introduction
Coordination of switching operations in the grid is important for ensuring safety of personnel and
equipment as well as for ensuring adequacy and security of the grid. Before any operation of
important elements of the Eastern Regional Grid is carried out on a User/STU system, the Users,
SLDC, STU, CTU, licensee shall inform ERLDC, in case the Eastern Regional grid may, or will
experience an operational effect.
5.2. Switching of System Elements for first time

In line with Regulation 6 (1) of the Central Electricity Authority (Grid Standards) regulations 2010, no
entity shall introduce an element in the ISTS of Eastern Grid without the concurrence of ERLDC in the
form of an operation code. In case a new power system element in Eastern Regional grid is likely to
be connected with the Inter-State Transmission System or is to be energized for the first time, from
the ISTS, the applicant User/STU/CTU/licensee shall send a separate request in advance along (at
least one week) with the confirmation of the following:
 Acceptance of ERLDC with regards to registration as regional entity
 Signed Connection Agreement if applicable
 Availability of telemetry of station/Element at the ERLDC/SLDC
 Availability of voice communication with the station at ERLDC/SLDC
 Interface meter installed and tested by downloading data and forwarding it to ERLDC
 Single Line Diagram
 Healthiness of Protection System/Protection Setting
 Statutory clearance has already been obtained
5.3. Switching of Important Elements

In line with regulation 5.2 (a, b, c), of the IEGC no part of the Eastern Regional grid shall be
deliberately isolated from the rest of the National/Regional grid except under an emergency
conditions in which such isolation would prevent a total grid collapse and would enable early
restoration of power supply or safety of human life; when serious damage to a costly equipment is
imminent and such isolation would prevent it; when such isolation is specifically instructed by ERLDC.
Important elements of the regional grid, which have a bearing on the network security, is
compiled and issued by ERLDC as a separate document [IEGC 5.2 (c)]. The regional entities, users,
STU, CTU, licensee shall obtain ‘operation code’ from ERLDC before carrying out any switching
operation on any of the important elements of the Northern Regional grid. Shut down of any 400 kV
bus at substation needs approval of ERLDC.
In respect of double main and transfer switching scheme at 400 kV substations, ERLDC shall
be informed whenever the 400 kV transfer bus at any substation is utilized for switching any line/ICT.
In a 400 kV substation/power station switchyard having breaker and a half switching scheme, outage
within the substation (say main or tie circuit breaker) not affecting power flow on any line/ICT can be
availed by the constituents under intimation to ERLDC. However, while availing such shutdowns or
carrying out switching operations it must be ensured that at least two Dias are complete even after
such outage from the view point of network reliability. Any outage not fulfilling the above conditions
needs the approval of ERLDC.
Whenever any protection system such as Bus Bar protection, LBB protection, Auto reclose
etc. at generating station or grid substation is required to be taken out of service for any maintenance
work, an operational code would be taken from SLDC/ERLDC.
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
5.4. Other Precaution to be taken during Switching

In addition to the above, it is necessary that special attention be paid to maintaining the reliability of
the system. The following areas need careful implementation by the concerned constituents / stations
i. In case of a two-bus system at any substation it must be ensured that the segregation of
feeders on the different buses is uniform. This would help in minimizing the number of
elements lost in case of a bus fault. This is assuming the availability of bus-bar protection at
such substation(s).
ii. In 400 kV substations having a breaker and a half scheme, it must be ensured that the two
buses at such substation remain connected at least by two parallel paths so that any line / bus
fault does not result in inadvertent multiple outages. In case any element, say a line or an ICT
or a bus reactor, is expected to remain out for a period say beyond two hours at such
substation, the main & tie breakers of such elements should be closed after opening the line
side isolator. This should be done after taking all suitable precautions to avert inadvertent
tripping. This of course assumes that no maintenance is planned on such breakers / isolators.
iii. In case when circuit breaker controlling the line is under lockout it is not advisable to interrupt
the changing current through an isolator the following practice to be adopted in such cases:-
a. De-energise the bus connecting the line with lockout CB and then open the isolator
b. If due to some reason it is not possible to open the isolator in above mentioned way,
and then open the isolator so that no charging current is interrupted through the
isolator and the charging current is diverted to other parallel path. Such switching
sequence could be possible in case of breaker and half scheme or Double breaker
Scheme, which is as follows:
i. Open the line from remote end first with direct trip (DT) disabled. With this now
line remains charged from the end where CB has problem.
ii. In case of breaker and half scheme open the isolator so that charging current is
diverted to the parallel path and after that open the CB of parallel path.
iii. In case of double breaker scheme open the isolator of the lockout breaker
diverting the charging current to other CB and then open the CB.
iv. In case of double main and transfer scheme open the isolator of lockout
breaker so that divert the charging current through transfer bus coupler and
then open the line through TBC circuit breaker.
It is also recommended that while vacating a bus in such cases, the operators
need to check the switching arrangement for individual feeders so as to avoid
unintended loss of any feeder.
iv. The substation operators must ensure the above condition even when any lightly loaded
line is opened to control overvoltage. Such opening of lines is generally superimposed
over other line outages on account of faults created by adverse weather conditions
resulting in reduced security of the system.
v. Single pole auto-reclose facility on 400 kV / 220 kV lines should always be in service.
ERLDC’s approval would be required for taking this facility out of service. Likewise, in
case any transfer breaker at any 400 kV substations having two main and transfer bus
scheme is engaged, the same would be informed to ERLDC.
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
vi. All precautions should be taken to avoid switching on to fault particularly in case of
Interconnecting Transformers. In order to avoid fault current through costly equipment
generally the line shall be charged from the far end, wherever possible.
vii. A transmission line side shall preferably be charged from the grid substation. Dead line
charging by a generator shall normally be avoided except during system restoration, black
start, or in case where both ends of the transmission line are terminating at a generating
station.
viii. During test charging of transmission line for the first time, all safety precautions shall be
taken and the transmission utility owning/operating the line shall satisfy the substation
utility at either ends with regards to statutory/safety clearances. During test charging if the
line does not hold even after two attempts, thorough checking of protection settings and
line patrolling shall be carried out.
ix. Operation code issued by ERLDC for switching shall become invalid if the switching is not
completed within half an hour of issue of code. In case the switching operation is not
completed within half an hour of the issue of operation code from ERLDC, and if there is a
probability of further delay same code could be revalidated by ERLDC within that half an
hour. The utility obtaining at one end shall intimate the other end utility.

6.5. Grid Incidence/Disturbances and Categorisation

As per the severity of any events/incidences CEA has formulated the guidelines for categorisation of
Grid incidences and disturbances. Any event to be reported may therefore need to be categorised as
detailed below
5.5.1 Grid Incident
A Grid incident is tripping of one or more power system elements of the Grid like a generator,
Transmission line, Transformer, Shunt Reactor, Series capacitor, Static VAR Compensator (SVC) etc,
with no loss of grid supply or integrity of the grid at 220kV and above.
Categorisation of Grid incidents based in increasing order of severity
Category: 1 Tripping of one or more power system elements of the grid like a generator ,
transmission line, transformer, shunt reactor, series capacitor, Static VAR
Compensator(SVC) etc which requires rescheduling of generation or load
without total loss of supply at a sub-station or loss of integrity of the grid at
220kV (132kV in case of NER)
Category:2 Tripping of one or more power system elements of the grid like a generator ,
transmission line, transformer, shunt reactor, series capacitor, Static VAR
Compensator(SVC) etc which requires rescheduling of generation or load
without total loss of supply at a sub-station or loss of integrity of the grid at
400kV and above (220kV in case of NER)
5.5.2 Grid Disturbance

Grid disturbance is defined as tripping of one or more power system elements resulting in total failure
of supply at a sub-station or loss of integrity of the grid, at the level of 220kV and above (132kV and
above in case of NER)
Categorisation of Grid Disturbance in increasing order of severity is described as under.

Category 1: When less than 10% of the antecedent generation or load in a Regional Grid is
lost
Category 2: When 10% to less than 20% of the antecedent generation or load in a Regional
Grid is lost.
Grid is lost
Grid is lost
Category 5: When 40% or more of the antecedent generation or load in a Regional Grid is
lost.
ERLDC shall maintain a log (Vide Annexure XIII) of such incidences/disturbances and whenever
such incidences/disturbances occur shall report in writing (vide Annexure XII) as enumerated at para
5.4
Note: i) Any forced outage of ISGS generator would cause rescheduling of generation and
corresponding revision of drawal. Therefore, this should be treated as Grid incidence.

7. Network Security and Congestion Management
7.0. Introduction
This chapter describes the actions required to be undertaken by system operators to maintain the
security of the network at all times against any plausible contingencies /outages within the ER
network as well as from any contingencies arising out due to incidences occurring in the rest of the
National grid that may have an adverse effect on ER system.
7.1. Network Security

7.1.1. Background
The Indian power grid has two synchronous grids viz (i) “NEW” Grid comprising of Northern , Eastern,
North Eastern and Western region and (ii) the Southern Region grid. With formation of the New Grid,
there has been sea change in the operational philosophy in system operation that has already yielded
various benefits like peak/off peak demand management through diversity of time, surplus/deficit
management due to seasonal resource variations, demand forecast errors, weather variations
besides increased economic transactions, improvement in overall system security due to increased
stability margin and a higher stiffness to the tune of 2200-2400MW /Hz. Eastern Region is
strategically located with synchronised interconnections with all the other regions of the NEW Grid
besides having synchronous integrated operation with Bhutan Power system. Eastern Grid is also
connected to Southern Region through two no HVDC interconnections having a total capacity of
3500MW capacity. The large number of synchronous interconnections of Eastern Region with other
regions/neighbouring country (Bhutan), however has also resulted in evolution of contingencies of
critical nature under different despatch/demand scenarios.
In addition, system may operate at times beyond the assumptions of the planner in line with various
transmission security standards and associated criteria mentioned in section 3.5 of IEGC due to
following reasons:
a) Planned maintenance programme of the generators and transmission lines. It is imperative to

ensure that such maintenance programmes are properly coordinated and do not result in reduced
redundancy not envisaged during planning.
b) The events beyond the control of operators such as extreme weather conditions affecting the
reliability of transmission system, uneven demand growth or delay in commissioning of
generators/transmission elements.
7.1.2. Measures to ensure Network Security and Reliability
In order to maintain the security of the Regional power system, it is important that the planned outage
of generation and transmission system particularly in the important flow-gates are properly
coordinated. The important flow-gates of Eastern region with the limits of flow gates are shown at
Annexure XIV. A list of important Regional Grid elements (vide clause 5.2(c) of IEGC) of the Eastern
regional grid which have a bearing on the network security are shown at Anneure-XV. It is therefore
necessary to carry out operational studies in order to assess the grid security and network stability
while finalizing the annual outage plan of these important elements. The outage planning should be

important elements, ERLDC need to be informed at the earliest time indicating the likely time of
restoration. It is necessary that special attention is paid for maintaining the reliability of the system.
7.1.2.1. Assessment of Transfer Capability (Total Transfer Capability(TTC) and

Available Transfer Capability(ATC))
While a Transmission system is built, inherent design margins are kept in order to take care of
reliability and security issues, future generation growth, ROW issues, cost optimisation etc. The
interregional interconnections as have been planned and over the years had also taken care of
such margins. However, since power flow takes place as per the laws of physics and with more and
more AC interconnections between Areas/Regions the transfer between two or more regions gets
restricted because of factors like generation despatch conditions, loop flows between regions,
upstream or down stream network limitations, voltage and angular differences between critical buses
etc. Thus the Total transfer capability between areas is equal to or less than the aggregated design
capacity of interconnection/s and therefore need to be assessed through power system studies well in
advance considering the load / generation balance forecast to a fair degree of accuracy.
Available Transfer Capability (ATC) is a measure of the transfer capability remaining in the physical
transmission network for further commercial activity over and above already committed uses. It is
derived from the Total Transfer Capability (TTC) after discounting the total existing transmission
commitments and reliability margins. Thus ATC = TTC – Existing Transmission Commitments (viz.
Long Term) - Reliability Margins. This ATC is for scheduling short term bilateral and collective
transactions on the interregional links. In other words the simultaneous net total import or
export of a particular region taken together with the reliability margins must not exceed the
TTC in the respective direction. Reliability margins are also required to take care of the inherent
uncertainties in projecting transfer capability over longer time periods. These margins are necessary
for reliable transmission services to all transmission system users under a broad range of potential
system conditions. Margins in the form of Transmission Reliability Margin (TRM) and Capacity
Benefit Margin (CBM) must be kept aside to provide operating flexibility in real time.
STOA- Bilateral+Collective ATC
Long Term Open Access TTC
Reliability margin
Transmission Reliability Margin (TRM)

Transmission Reliability Margin(TRM) is the amount of transmission transfer capability necessary to
provide a reasonable level of assurance that the interconnected transmission network will be secure.
TRM accounts for the inherent uncertainty in system conditions and its associated effects on ATC
calculations, and the need for operating flexibility to ensure reliable system operation as system
conditions change.
It is therefore imperative that the exchanges between regions are contained to a level of ATC
and in no case exceed the TTC between the regions. All the regional entities of Eastern Region
and / or neighbouring region(s) will adhere to their levels of net interchanges as advised by
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
ERLDC whenever such breach in TTC level among the regions takes place to ensure the grid
security irrespective of frequency and schedule .
Assessment of Total Transfer Capability (TTC), Transmission Reliability Margin (TRM) and Available
Transfer Capability (ATC) for import and export of power within Eastern region as required for reliable
system operation and for facilitating non-discriminatory open access in transmission shall be carried
out by ERLDC in coordination with National Load Despatch Centre and other RLDCs. The ‘Detailed
Procedure for Relieving Congestion in Real Time Operation’ as approved by the CERC vide order
dated 22.04.2013 may be referred for further details. The assessed TTC, TRM and ATC shall be
posted on ERLDC/NLDC website.
The detailed procedure for assessment of TTC, monitoring and invoking congestion
conditions in real-time, application of Congestion Charge and Congestion Charge accounting
and settlement shall be as per the regulation / procedure issued / approved by CERC
7.1.2.2. Flow gates and Congestion Management
Eastern Region being strategically located, it is connected to all the other regions. The typical
generation dispatch pattern during monsoon and winter, demand scenarios within the region as well
as of the other regions results in congestion in some corridors of the Eastern Network. These
congestions are well identified. The anticipated power flow pattern along these flow gates has a direct
impact on the Total Transfer Capability in different seasons. While carrying out the system studies for
arriving at the TTC and ATC figures anticipated flow pattern along these flow gates need to be
checked under and in real time require to be monitored for a secured operation. The various flow
gates and their characteristics and actions required to be taken by ERLDC operators during
congestions in these flow gates are described below:
7.1.2.2(a) Flow gate –I ( allowable limit≈ 4000MW) ( vide Annexure XIV(a))
400kV Kahalgaon-Banka-Biharsariff D/C

400 kV Kahalgaon-Biharsariff D/C
400kV Kahalgaon-Barh D/C
Scenarios:
 High drawl by NR
 Injection from WR and SR
Northern region imports power through ER-NR tie links throughout the year. Around
50-60% of this power flows through 400 kV Kahalgaon-Biharsariff D/C, Kahalgaon-
Banka-Biharsariff D/C and 400kV Kahalgaon-Barh D/C. the loading of 400 kV
Kahalgaon-Biharsariff D/C, Kahalgaon-Banka-Biharsariff D/C and remains around
2000 MW throughout the year while that of the 400kV Kahalgaon-Barh D/C remains
around 1500 MW. In case the summation of flow of above six lines remains under
4000 MW then n-1 security criteria is satisfied, but in case the loading goes above
4000 MW then n-1 security criteria may not be satisfied.
Congestion Management:
In the event loading across this flow gates exceeding beyond allowable limit following
actions may be initiated:
1. Request NRLDC to maintain their schedules if they are overdrawing with respect to
schedule.
2. Request W.Bengal and DVC SLDCs to maintain drawal as per schedule in case
they are underdrawing with respect to schedule
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
3. Request Bihar to maintain its schedule if it is overdrawing with respect to schedule.

4. Request BSEB to reduce its drawl at Biharsariff and Patna.
5. In case ER is availing UI power from SR/WR check whether reduction in UI
quantum ease out the congestion or not. Check whether UI transactions to SR over
HVDC links is possible or not
6. Request curtailment of drawal by NR on account of congestion
7. Request NLDC to invoke the congestion charge if curtailment of drawal is not
forthcoming.
8. Monitor the congestion and inform NLDC immediately as soon as the congestion is
removed
7.1.2.2(b) Monsoon Flow gate –I ( allowable limit≈ 1900MW) ( vide Annexure XIV(b))
400kV Purnea-Muzaffarpur D/C ( with TCSC at Purnea)
Scenarios:
 Monsoon ( period Mid July to Sept)
 High Availability at Binaguri 400kV S/S (≈ 2000MW and more) due high generation
at the following stations
 Teesta = 510 MW
 Import from Tala HEP/Chukha HEP ≈ 1100 MW
 Import from North Eastern Region ( surplus hydro) ≈400-500MW
 High Demand in Northern Region
During peak monsoon, the power of the order of 2000 MW available from Bhutan,
Teesta and NER on the round the clock basis is essentially pooled Binaguri 400kV S/S.
Northern Region having higher demand during these periods most of the hydro power
as above is evacuated to Northern Region along Tala Transmission System. The
series compensated 400kV Purnea – Muzaffarpur D/C because of its lower impedance
gets loaded at times beyond 900 MW per ckt. Any outage of one of the circuit of
Purnea-Muzaffarpur might therefore lead to overloading of other circuit beyond
permissible limit.
Congestion Management:
In the event loading across this flow gates exceeding beyond allowable limit( As
notified separately during TTC calculation( generally around 1900MW ) following
actions may be initiated :
.
(i) In case ER is availing UI power from SR check whether reduction in UI
quantum ease out the congestion or not. Check whether UI transactions to
SR over HVDC links is possible or not
(ii) Request West Bengal and DVC SLDC to maintain drawal as per schedule in
case they are underdrawing with respect to schedule
(iii) Request NERLDC to maintain curtail overinjection
(iv) Request curtailment of drawal to NR on account of congestion
(v) Request NLDC to invoke the congestion charge if curtailment of drawal is not
forthcoming.
(vi) Monitor the congestion and inform NLDC immediately as soon as the
congestion is removed.
7.1.2.2 (c) Winter Flow gate –I ( allowable limit≈ 1200 MW or less) (vide Annexure XIV(c))
400kV Farakka-Malda D/C
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
Scenarios:
 Winter ( period Dec to Mid Feb)
 Low Hydro Availability at Bhutan( Tala and Chukha), Teesta, and NE Region
 High winter Demand in Northern Region
The high demand in Northern Region during winter results in higher drawal from
Eastern Grid. As hydro availability in North Eastern Region also gets depleted,
overdrawal by NE Region is also a frequent phenomenon. The scarce Hydro
availability within Bhutan and Teesta cause power to flow northwards along Farakka-
Malda 400kV D/C corridor. Frequent congestion is noticed along this corridor as the
power in Farakka-Malda 400kV D/C often exceeds 1200MW. Although at 1200 MW
load, n-1 security criteria is not satisfied for Farraka-Malda D/C (twin moose), it is
estimated that an (n-1) -1 contigency upto this order of power flow can be sustained by
ER grid. However beyond 1200 MW such a contingency may not be tolerable.
Although TCSC at Purnea provides desired stability margin along Tala
Transmission system, yet during winter, the FSC at Purnea is required to be kept open
as the lower impedance across Purnea-Muzaffarpur section aggravates the congestion
at Farakka – Malda D/C. Therefore, before onset of high winter demand in NR, ERLDC
may review the various corridor loading and consider keeping FSC at Purnea under
switched off condition during winter.
Congestion Management
(i) Request NR/NER to maintain their schedules if they are overdrawing

with respect to schedule.
(ii) Check whether any UI transaction over HVDC link to SR is possible or
not.
(iii) Request ER constituents to maintain schedule if it is under drawing.
(iv) Check whether any available hydro generation at Teesta ,Tala or
Chukha can be increased
(v) Request NLDC to invoke the congestion charge if the violation of
schedules leading to the congestion is continuing.
7.1.2.2 (d) Winter & Summer Flow gate –II (vide Annexure XIV(d))
 400kV Rourkella-Talcher D/C

 400kV Kharagpur-Baripada S/C
 400 kV Jamsedpur-TISCO-Baripada S/C
Scenarios:
 Winter-Summer ( period Nov to May)
 High Drawl by Orissa.
 High export to Southern Region
 Less generation at Talcher St-I (2x500 MW)
The high demand in Southern Region during winter and summer results in higher
Power export to SR through HVDC links at Gazuwaka and Talcher. As hydro
availability in South Odisha also gets depleted, Odisha resort to high drawl from Grid
to meet its load. These two condition along with less generation at Talcher St-I leads to
sever loading of 400 kV Rourkela-Talcher D/C. Although the recently constructed 400
kV Jamsedpur-Baripada LILOed at TISCO eases out loading of 400 kV Rourkeal-
Talcher to some extent. It is expected that construction of second 400 kV Jamsedpur-
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
Baripada(direct circuit) will further reduce its flow. However as these lines are new and
we have yet to witness a summer and winter with these new lines. So this flow gate is
kept under consideration.
Congestion Management
(i) Request Odisha to maintain it schedules if they are overdrawing with

respect to schedule.
(ii) It should be insured that no power to SR should be exported under UI .
(iii) Request West Bengal to maintain its schedule if Over drawing. .
(iv) Request WRLDC/NLDC to limit WR-ER flow if Western region is
injecting power in ER beyond its schedule.
Message for controlling congestion

In case of violation of TTC/Flow Gate limit/ overloading of any line / ICT a message is to be issued to
the SLDC of the concerned regional entity(ies) / RLDC of the concerned region(s) for immediate
remedial action. Format of the message is given at Annexure XXIV
7.1.2.3. Monitoring of Congestion

Real time data for monitoring Congestion shall be displayed on the ERLDC website in the formats as
enclosed in Annexure-XXV.
7.1.2.4. Generation Rescheduling

ERLDC may revise the interchange schedule as allowed by IEGC regulation 6.4.12, 6.5.5, and 6.5.16.
Further details may be seen in the chapter on scheduling.
7.1.2.5. Curtailment of Scheduled Transactions

The transactions already scheduled may be curtailed by ERLDC in the event of transmission
constraints; congestion in the grid, or in the interest of grid security. In line with regulations 6.4.12,
6.5.28, 6.5.30 and 6.5.31 of IEGC the transactions shall generally be curtailed in the following
sequence
a. Unscheduled Interchanges
b. Short term bilateral transactions
c. Short term collective transactions
d. Medium term transactions
e. Long-term transactions
Amongst the customers of a particular category, curtailment shall be carried out on pro rata basis.
ERLDC would curtail a transaction at the periphery of the Regional entities. SLDC (s) shall further
incorporate the inter-se curtailment of intra State entities to implement the curtailment.
7.1.2.6. Procedure for Relieving Congestion

Congestion Management shall be as per the detailed procedure for relieving congestion in real time
operationas approved by CERC vide its order dated 22.04.2013. It is important to note that the
congestion charge could be applied both upstream and downstream of the congested corridor
irrespective of the frequency. Whenever actual flow on inter/ intra regional link/ corridor exceeds
Available Transfer Capability and security criteria are violated for continuously two time blocks, the
National Load Despatch Centre may issue a warning notice. In case SLDC observes congestion
within the Intra State grid it shall take appropriate action and inform the respective RLDC which in
turn shall inform the NLDC. The notice for congestion shall be communicated to all the Regional
entities telephonically or through fax/voice message/ e-mail and through postings on website and
making the same available on the common screen at NLDC/ RLDCs/ SLDCs. The various formats

may be referred in the detailed procedure for relieving congestion in real time operation under
regulation 4 (2) of the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Measures to relieve congestion in
real time operation) Regulations, 2009.
7.1.2.7. Defence Mechanism
Despite utmost caution exercised during operational planning and implementing all the above
steps to improve the network security and reliability, the possibility of a contingent situation
cannot be totally ruled out. It calls for suitable defence mechanism to be available in the system
to take care of such contingencies. Following are the minimum schemes which should be
operational in Eastern Region to ensure safe and secure grid operation.
i) Automatic Under Frequency Load Shedding Scheme.

In line with clause 5.2(n) of IEGC, all regional entities shall provide Automatic Under Frequency
Load Shedding in their respective system to arrest frequency decline that could result in a
collapse / disintegration of the grid as per the scheme formulated by ERPC forum and shall
ensure its effective application and functionality at all times to prevent cascade tripping of
generating units in case of any contingency. ERLDC shall inform ERPC Secretariat about
instances when the desired load relief is not obtained through these relays in real time operation.
ERPC Secretariat shall carry out periodic inspection of U/F relays and maintain proper records of
the inspection. It is extremely important that there should be no overlapping between the areas
covered by under frequency load shedding and that included in the manual load shedding plan
as part of demand control. The approved Automatic Under Frequency Load Shedding Scheme at
Annexure XVI
ii) Special Protection scheme

Such schemes are required to take care of some special contingencies and operate under
specific contingency conditions.
Power Demand Over (PDO) ride at Gazuwaka and Talcher
The Power Demand Override at HVDC stations control systems provide the features when power
flow through HVDC System gets automatically changed to preset value when declared
contingencies such as tripping/overloading of elements or tripping of generators take place.
The HVDC back to back station at Gazuwaka having a transfer capacity of 1000 MW( 500 MW
per pole block) is utilised for transfer of power from Eastern Region to Southern region. The
station is connected to Jaypore 400kv substation of CTU in Eastern Region. Jeypore substation
is in turn connected to Indravati (PowerGrid) and Meramundali(OPTCL) thro S/C 400kV lines.
However, Jeypore has further connectivity to 220kV system of OPTCL via 2x 315MVA ICTs.
However under heavy power transfer to Gazuwaka(SR) from Jeypore tripping of any of the
element as mentioned above might give rise to a contingent condition leading to cascade tripping
of one or more elements within south Orissa network. In order to circumvent this contingency
condition following special protection system of power demand override has been implemented
at Gazuwaka HVDC station
Similarly PDO at Talcher and Kolar is also designed to a preset value under certain
contingencies. These PDOs are described at Annexure XVII
Special protection system at HVDC Talcher( SPS 450 and SPS 1000)
Talcher Super thermal power station having a capacity of 3000MW( 6x500 MW) is located in
Orissa of Eastern Region. The station was commissioned with 2x500MW capacity and
subsequently its second stage was commissioned and station capacity was augmented to
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
3000MW with commissioning of its further 4x 500MW machines. The station is the largest
capacity station in the region. However, the capacity of the entire stage II ( 4x500 MW) was
allocated to the beneficiaries of southern region. Subsequently, 10% of the capacity was
allocated to the Orissa, in Eastern region. For evacuaton of Talcher STPS –II generation to
Southern Region, +/- 500kV HVDC bipole transmission system was commissioned right upto the
load centre of Southern Region at Kolar. The HVDC substation at Talcher has two pole blocks
1000MW capacity each( subsequently augmented to 1250MW ).
The very basic design of the evacuation system of Talcher stage II to SR poses a major threat to
Eastern Region and subsequently to the New Grid as any sudden forced outage of one or both
the poles would mean that Eastern Grid has to initially absorb a jerk of load throw off to the tune
of 1800-2000MW . The surplus power would get wheeled through Talcher-Rourkella 400kV D/C
and Rengali –Baripada-Kolaghat S/C. During monsoon as such these corridors remain heavily
loaded and such contingency of pole block at Talcher would lead to a definite cascade tripping
leading to isolation /possible collapse of Orissa system including TSTPP station. In order to avoid
such contingency two automatic special protection schemes were envisaged and have been
implemented at Talcher Super Thermal power station. The 1st scheme as commonly known as
SPS 450 was first implemented and subsequently a further improvised 2nd scheme was devised
as known as SPS 1000 scheme. Both the schemes and their modalities of arming and disarming
is described below:
SPS 450: This scheme was originally implemented with a view that Eastern and Western Region
would absorb a jerk of 450 MW therefore rest of the generation as available at Talcher stage II
generation must be shed in order avoid a cascade tripping of the network. However, during
monsoon, from Eastern Regional point of view at times absorbing even 450MW under N-1
contingency criteria of Talcher-Rourkella 400kV D/C Line becomes critical when major
generation at Talcher stage II must be shed in order to avoid further criticality of the Grid. Further
under any critical outage condition in the rest of the New Grid outage of HVDC bipole might pose
a serious threat when it might necessitate arming of SPS -450 scheme with due coordination
with NLDC. The Scheme is described below
SPS 1000: Post formation of the NEW Grid this scheme was subsequently envisaged in order to
minimise shedding of generation at Talcher STPP. The basic philosophy of this scheme is to
absorb 1000MW in place of 450 MW as the Grid size increased. However, as one of the
prerequisites for arming this scheme Eastern Regional operator has to ensure that sufficient
evacuation margin( approx 1000 MW) is available at the AC evacuation system of TSTPP. The
scheme is described below:
Both SPS 450 and SPS 1000 schemes are described at Annexure XVIII
Special protection system at SEL (Sterlite Energy Limited)

SEL have a total installed capacity of 2400 MW ( 4 x 600 MW) is located in Odisha. Out of these
four units second unit (Unit-2) is dedicated to Odisha and is connected at separate 400 kV Bus
(400 kV OPTCL bus) which also have 2 x 315 MVA 400/220 KV ICT installed. The 220 kV side of
this SEL bus is connected with 220 kV VAL (Vedanta Aluminium limited) through 220 kV SEL-
VAL D/C.
The remaining three unit at SEL (Unit 1, 3 & 4) is connected to other 400 kV Bus at SEL (400 kV
PGCIL bus) which further have four outgoing lines connected to it, two to Rourkela and two to
Raigarh. In turn these four lines i.e 400 kV SEL-Raigarh D/C and 400 kV SEL-Rourkela D/C is
used to evacuate power from SEL.
SPS at SEL continuously monitor flow of all 400 kV lines and it gets actuated whenever flow of
any line touches 650 MW. In case flow of any line exceeds 650 MW, generation reduction at SEL
took place to bring the line loading under limit.

iii) Islanding Scheme

To avoid total black out of the grid during system disturbances and for early normalisation, the
procedure for islanding of systems and major generating stations with associated loads need to be
developed constituent wise/system wise. The islanding schemes as in operation in Eastern Region is
shown at Annexure XIX
7.1.2.8. Switching Diagram

The switching diagrams of all generating stations (100 MW and above), 400kV, important 220kV
and 132kV substations especially those involved in the evacuation of generation shall be made
available to ERLDC system operator at SCADA Desk. The selection of such diagrams is
described at Chapter 8. The same shall be updated from time to time.
7.1.2.9. Operational Areas of Importance

The following areas needs careful implementation by the concerned constituents / stations:-
i) In case of a 2 main & transfer bus system at any sub-station, it must be ensured that the
segregation of feeders on the different buses is uniform. It would help in minimizing the
effect on the system in case of a bus fault.
ii) In 400kV substations having one and half breaker scheme, it must be ensured that each
feeder remains connected to both the buses so that any bus fault does not result in
inadvertent outage of feeders. In case any element, say a line or an ICT or a bus reactor,
is expected to remain out for a prolonged period at such substation, the main and tie
breakers of such elements should be closed after opening the line side isolator. This
should be done after taking all suitable precautions to avert inadvertent tripping.
iii) The substation operators must ensure the above condition even when any lightly loaded
line is opened to control over voltage. Such opening of lines is generally superimposed
over other line outages on account of faults created by adverse weather conditions
resulting in reduced security of the system.
iv) Single pole auto reclose facility on 400kV lines should always be in service. Approval of
ERLDC would be required for taking this facility out of service. Likewise, in case any
transfer breaker at any 400kV substations having two main and transfer bus scheme is
engaged, the same would be informed to ERLDC.
v) In order to damp out the low frequency oscillations in the system, the power system
stabilizers on the generating units would be tuned as per the programme drawn at ERPC
forum. in consultation with the constituents.
vi) All regional entities would endeavor to operate the connected generation and reactive
power management devices such as Capacitors, Reactors, Synchronous Condensers,
Fixed Series Capacitors (FSCs), Static Var Compensators (SVCs) etc in a manner which
enables stable voltage behavior at various points of the grid under different operating
conditions.
vii) All regional entities would also maintain in good operating conditions of all control
measures such as defence mechanism, SPS, U/F & U/V load shedding, AVRs, PSS,
FGMO, Operating reserves, emergency back-up power supplies etc., and ensure that the
operational security standards are maintained for reliable and secured operation of the
interconnected
system.
viii) In line with sections 5.2(f) of the IEGC, the generating units should ensure free governor
operation.

7.1.2.10. Recording Instruments, Voice and Communication Facilities

i) The recording instruments such data acquisition system, disturbance recorder event logger,
fault locator, time synchronization equipment voice recorder and any other such equipment in
each generating station / sub-station / control centre / SLDCs / ERLDC shall be kept in good
working condition in order to record the events and sequence. All such places shall have a
common time reference whose authenticity shall be ensured by periodic verification and
validation procedure to be developed and monitored by ERPC Secretariat.
ii) Each regional entity shall provide adequate and reliable communication facility internally and
with other constituents / RLDC to ensure exchange of data / information necessary to
maintain reliability and security of the grid. All the agencies shall provide systems to telemeter
power system parameters such as power flow, voltage and status of switches/transformer
taps etc., in line with interface requirements and other guidelines made available to RLDC /
SLDCs atleast before the date of commercial operation of the generating stations or
substation/line being connected to the ISTS.
iii) In line with Central Electricity Authority (Technical Standards for Connectivity to Grid)
Regulations 2007, the requester and user shall provide necessary facilities for voice and data
communication and transfer of online operational data such as voltage, frequency, line flows
and status of breaker and isolator position and other parameters as prescribed by the
appropriate Load Despatch Centre and agree to maintain the communication system in good
condition.
iv) In line with Central Electricity Authority (Technical Standards for Connectivity to Grid)
Regulations 2007, every generating station and substation connected to the grid at 220kV or
above shall be provided with disturbance recording (DR) and event logging facilities. All such
equipment shall be provided with time synchronization facility for common time reference.
v) For a high degree of service reliability under normal and emergency operation, at least one
main telecommunication channel with an alternate backup channel shall be provided
7.1.2.11. Monitoring of System States (Grid Health)

As a corollary to the provisions laid down in the IEGC chapter on Operating Code for Regional
Grids, ERLDC has the responsibility of monitoring the state of the regional grid at all times.
The state of the grid has been classified as either NORMAL or ALERT or EMERGENCY,
depending on whether certain security criteria are violated or not, as stated below. The display
system in control room has been accordingly modified to alert the operator, in case the state
of the grid passes to either to ALERT mode or EMERGENCY mode. The Boolean conditions
for various modes are as follows:
NORMAL mode – (Grid frequency  49.9 Hz) AND (No Flowgate limit, as specified by
operator violated)
ALERT mode – Actual flow through Flowgate-1  Limit specified by operator

OR
Actual flow through Flowgate-2  Limit specified by operator
OR
OR
OR
Grid Frequency  49.9 Hz & > 49.7 Hz
EMERGENCY mode – (Resultant output of ALERT mode) AND (Grid Frequency  49.7 Hz)

8. Scheduling and Despatch Procedure
8.0. Introduction
The broad principles and guidelines to be followed for scheduling and dispatch of power in the
regional ISTS and the demarcation of responsibilities for this purpose are in accordance with Part 6 of
the IEGC.
8.1. Scope
This procedure is applicable to ERLDC and other RLDCs, all the thermal and hydro ISGSs on which
beneficiary constituents have shares, the beneficiary constituents of Eastern Region and any regional
entity. For the purpose of implementation of the schedules for import of power from Hydro stations in
Bhutan, this procedure shall also be applicable to the hydro stations of Bhutan
8.2. Objective
This chapter deals with the procedures to be adopted for scheduling of the inter-State generating
stations (ISGS) and net exchange of regional entities on a daily basis with the modality of the flow of
information among the ISGS/RLDCs/entities of the Region. The procedure for submission of
capability declaration by each ISGS and submission of exchange schedule by each beneficiary is
intended to enable RLDCs to prepare the dispatch schedule for each ISGS and exchange schedule
for each beneficiary. It also provides methodology of issuing real time dispatch/drawal instructions
and rescheduling, if required, to ISGS and beneficiaries.
8.3. Description of the procedure
The Regional grids shall be operated as power pools (with decentralized scheduling and dispatch), in
which the States shall have operational autonomy, and SLDCs shall have the total responsibility for (i)
scheduling /dispatching their own generation (including generation of their embedded licensees), (ii)
regulating the demand of their customers, (iii) scheduling their drawal from the ISGS (within their
share in the respective plant’s expected capability), (iv) arranging any bilateral interchanges, and (v)
regulating their net drawal from the regional grid. The system of each State shall be treated and
operated as a notional control area. The algebraic summation of scheduled drawal from ISGS , long-
term access , medium term and short-term open access arrangements shall provide the drawal
schedule of each State, and this shall be determined in advance on daily basis. The regional entities
shall regulate their generation and / or consumers’ loads so as to maintain their actual drawal from
the regional grid close to the above schedule. The regional entities, through their SLDCs shall always
endeavour to restrict their net drawal from the grid within their respective schedules, whenever the
system frequency is below 49.8 Hz or the loading of any important transmission element is beyond
the acceptable limit. Below 49.7 Hz, regional entities shall carry out requisite load shedding to ensure
that there is no overdrawal.
The introduction of the scheduling and despatch mechanism as mandated in IEGC, has further
evolved the framework for developing other power markets such as Short term open access
transactions and collective transactions that can fit in with the scheduling and despatch procedures
as mandated in IEGC. Further CERC has also issued regulation on Short Term and and Collective
transactions and procedure for short term and collective transactions have been duly issued by CTU
and approved by CERC. Therefore procedure as issued by CTU on Short term and Collective may
be referred separately as a part of this procedure. In order to understand the procedure and bring in
more clarity the scheduling and despatch procedure has been prepared in the form of flow chart as
described below:
The entire activities are broadly divided into three parts namely
(i) Day ahead scheduling
(ii) Revision of schedules
(iii) Implementation of Final schedules

Under fuel shortage conditions, thermal ISGSs may face constraints in adhering to the usual
scheduling procedure. They may propose to deliver a higher MW during peak-load hours by saving
fuel during off-peak hours, in pursuance to Clause 21(4) of the CERC Terms and Conditions of Tariff
2009-14. The broad guidelines to be followed for scheduling ISGSs under such conditions are as
follows:
 Fuel shortage would be declared by the generating stations on a day ahead basis only and
status cannot be changed during the day of operation even if fuel supply status changes,
except in case of unit tripping.
 The concerned plant shall declare its energy capability (MWh), maximum ex-bus
generation (MW) and minimum possible ex-bus generation (MW) that can be maintained.
 Utilities may requisition based on their requirements either as average MW in all time
blocks or different MW in different time blocks upto the entitled maximum MW remaining
within the total energy entitlement for the day. The default would be average MW during all
blocks for those beneficiaries whose time-block wise requisition is not received by RLDC.
 Peak hours shall be of minimum three hours duration as decided on a regional basis
through Operational Coordination sub Committee (OCC) meetings of the RPC. In between
the month changes could also be done by RLDC with advance declaration of two days.
The OCC can also decide peak hours as more than 3 hrs based on regional load curves
either in one continuous spell or two spells for covering morning and evening peak hours.
[e.g. one and half hour continuous or 1 hour and 2 hour continuous in each spell].
 DC for the day in such an event shall be taken to be equal to the maximum peak-hour ex-
power plant MW schedule specified by the concerned Load Despatch Centre for that day.
8.4. Procedure for revising ISGS schedule downwards on account of surrendering of

share by beneficiaries
As already mentioned in this chapter, the beneficiaries of an ISGS have full autonomy in deciding
their respective requisitions from the ISGS. Thus, in the event of low demand as well as high
availability from own generating stations, a beneficiary may either not requisition its full share or even
prefer to forgo its full share from the ISGS. Such surrendering by multiple beneficiaries of a thermal
ISGS for a particular time period , may cause the despatch schedule of the station to become less
than the minimum level of generation technically achievable by the thermal units. Under such
circumstances ERLDC will moderate the requisitions of the under-requisitioning beneficiaries in a
manner so that unrealistic backing down or shutting down of thermal unit can be avoided. The
general philosophy to be adopted is as follows:
8.4.1. Before issuance of revision 0 schedule (at 17:00 Hrs) for the next day
If the generation schedule on certain time blocks determined by summing the requisitions of its
beneficiaries is found to be less than the technical minimum level of the station, ERLDC shall pro-rata
reduce the requisitions of the under-requisitioning beneficiaries as per their entitlement in order to
maintain the dispatch schedule of the plant at the technical minimum level.
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
8.4.2. Before issuance of revision 1 schedule (at 23:00 hrs) for the next day
(a) If the dispatch schedule of the station on certain time blocks is already below the declared
capability and further surrendering of share by any beneficiary leads to a schedule that is
below the technical minimum level of the station, then the revision in requisition will be
accommodated to the extent that does not result in a schedule below the minimum feasible
level.
(b) In case of surrendering of share by multiple beneficiaries received between 17:00 hrs to
22:30hrs, pro-rata approach will be adopted.
8.4.3. On the day of operation:

Surrendering of share will be considered on first-come-first-serve basis. At any stage, if the dispatch
schedule is already at the technical minimum level, no further request for surrendering of share will be
entertained by ERLDC.
8.4.4. Status of requisition

Requisition for revision received at ERLDC will remain valid till the revision of corresponding schedule
is carried out and published. Thereafter validity of the same requisition will expire and no reference of
any earlier requisition can be drawn at a later time/date.
8.4.5. Revision of schedule for upward revision of entitlement

As per present practice agreed by all constituents, in case of upward revision of entitlement, full
entitlement will be scheduled to those constituents who have already requisitioned full entitlement
previously.
In case there is already less requisition by any constituent from ISGS/s for some block, no revision of
schedule will be carried out for upward revision of entitlement for those blocks for that constituent
provided technical minimum limit criteria is satisfied. If technical minimum limit criteria is/are not
satisfied, then ERLDC shall increase requisition of that constituent to the extent to give technical
minimum schedule of that ISGS. However, for those blocks where full entitlement is requisitioned the
same constituents, ERLDC will schedule full entitlement for that constituent.
8.4.6. Revision of schedule for downward revision of entitlement

In case downward revision of entitlement, revision of schedule will be carried out subject to restricted
entitlement. No revision will be carried out for that constituent, whose requisition is already below
entitlement previously till technical minimum limit criteria is/are satisfied and requisition is less than
revised entitlement. If technical minimum limit criteria is/are not satisfied, then ERLDC shall increase
requisition of that constituent to the extent to give technical minimum schedule of that ISGS.
In case of subsequent upward revision of entitlement, same methodology as followed in case
of upward revision of entitlement will be followed.
For those constituents, who have given less requisition from any ISGS earlier and due to
subsequent downward revision of entitlement from same ISGS which is less than the
requisition(specially when unit trips), schedule from that ISGS will be restricted to entitlement for that
constituent and validity of earlier requisition of that constituent will expire. In case of subsequent
upward revision of entitlement from same ISGS (specially when unit returns), ERLDC will schedule
full entitlement from that ISGS to the same constituent.
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
8.4.7. Scheduling of LTA and MTOA:
1. Constituent/Generator would only furnish to ERLDC the mutually agreed schedules by 17:00 Hrs
for the next day. Endorsement of the concerned SLDC/RLDC (when one of party is from outside
region) will be required.
2. ERLDC would incorporate the schedules and release the schedule for next day by 18:00 hrs.
3. SLDCs/Generators can inform of any mutually agreed changes duly endorsed by concerned
SLDC/RLDC (when one of party is from outside region) by 22:00 hrs of previous day to ERLDC.
4. Schedules for next day to be frozen by 23:00 hrs
5. Revision of the schedule during course of the day would be permitted, depending upon intimation
of the revised mutually agreed schedules duly endorsed by concerned SLDC/RLDC (when one of
party is from outside region) to ERLDC. The concerned SLDCs/RLDCs (when one of party is from
outside region) may also give standing instructions to ERLDC in advance to accommodate all day
ahead requisition/revision on the day of operation, on behalf of constituents under their jurisdiction
so that schedule furnished by other constituent/s/generator/s will be construed as mutually agreed
schedule and will be revised accordingly.
6. In case of tripping of unit of Generating station/s having LTA, schedule will be revised with
intimation to concerned SLDCs/RLDCs. The revised schedules shall become effective from the
4th time block, counting the time block in which the forced outage is declared and revision sought
in MW quantum from the generator to be the first one.
7. Revised schedules for other revision shall become effective from the 6th time block, counting the
time block in which revised mutually agreed schedule duly endorsed by concerned
SLDC/RLDC(when one of party is from outside region)has been received by ERLDC to be the first
one.
Procedure, priority, timeline etc. for scheduling for all types of transactions shall be
guided by IEGC and other regulations of CERC amended time to time

9.7. Manually Defining of Data ( Replace / Not in service )
The following sections describe procedures that relate to modifying data values for analogs and
status points. If a modified value is rejected after completing any of the procedures in this section, it
may be for one of the following reasons:
 The value might need to be put in the “not in service” state.
 The value is normally supplied by the State Estimator.
 You attempted to enter a null value.
 You entered a value outside of the reasonability limits.
9.7.1.1. Manually Overriding Point Values From a Oneline

This procedure is used to remove a point from service and enter an operator override:
a. On a Oneline, select the device symbol.
A popup box appears.
b. Select the Remove button.
The "not in service" symbol appears next to the button.
c. Select the Select button, and the toggle button on the popup becomes
available for use.
d. Select the toggle button.
If the device status is currently OPEN it changes to CLOSED; if the
device status is currently CLOSED it changes to OPEN.
e. Select the Done button.
The popup disappears. Note that the manually replaced symbol appears next
to the device on the Oneline, indicating that the status has been manually
overridden.
9.7.1.2. Manually Overriding Analog and Count Values From a Oneline
This procedure is used to remove an analog or count from service and override its value.
a. On the Oneline, select the analog field.
A popup box appears.
b. Select the Remove button.
The field containing the analog value becomes enterable.
c. Position the cursor on the field containing the value, type in the new value and
press the Enter key.
The entry is accepted if you have permission for entry and the value is within
the reasonability limits. If not, the entry is rejected.
d. Select the Done button.
The popup disappears. Note that the analog's value has changed on the
Oneline, and that it is accompanied by a “manually replaced” symbol.
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
9.8. Removing Manual Override and Restoring a Value to Service

As the previous sections indicate, when a value is manually overridden, both the "manually
replaced" and "not in service" flags are set for the point, analog, or count involved. The following
procedure removes both flags from the point, analog, or count, and causes its value to be
replaced with the next scanned value. If the point, analog or count has simply been removed from
service without having its value manually overridden, the following procedure simply returns it to
service.
a. On the Substation Tabular display, select the point, analog, or count's
depressed Not In Service button.
The point, analog, or count is restored to scan. On the tabular display, the
point, analog, or count's Data Quality field no longer reads Replaced, and its
"not in service" flag is removed (as can be seen by selecting the Flags button).
9.9. Data Quality flags
Composite data quality flags flags indicate a measurement's reliability. However, composite flags
provide a quicker way for the operator to judge reliability which are available on the display along
with real time value. There are four composite flagsGOOD, REPLACED, SUSPECT, and
GARBAGEwhich are defined below.
 GARBAGE: Data is unreliable. This flag appears when the measurement point is
uninitialized.
 SUSPECT: Data is labeled with one or more of these flags: OLD, BAD, OVER, REMSUSP,
and QUEST.
 REPLACED: Data is labeled with MANREP, ESTREP, or REMREPL
 GOOD: Data is not labeled as GARBAGE, SUSPECT, or REPLACED.
9.10. Collection and Viewing the Disturbance Data
The data available in SCADA is stored in a file called HDR file. These files can be used for viewing
the data and playback.
The following steps are to be followed to reconstruct the database as it existed during a particular
date and time, and to follow it through subsequent scans.
1. Call up the Historical Data Recording display and select the HDR Reconstruction Control
display from the Related Displays menu.
Navigate => SCADA => HDR Reconstruction Control
The HDR Reconstruction Control display appears.
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
2. Select the Start button.

The Reconstruction function is started and the Reconstruction File Directory is created. This
directory lists the HDR historical files from which data can be reconstructed.
a. In the box underneath Reconstruct To Time, type the date and time for which
you want SCADAMOM to be reconstructed, then press Enter.
b. Select the Reconstruct To Time button.
HDR takes data out of the historical files and reconstructs SCADAMOM as it
existed during the desired time.
9.10.1. Playing Back a Reconstructed Database
HDR has a "playback" feature that enables to follow the progress of a reconstructed database
over time. The number of seconds between database reconstructions, and the time interval
between advances in the playback need to be specified.
To "play back" a reconstructed database, do the following:
a. Reconstruct the database to a given date and time (see steps 1-4 under Error!
Reference source not found.).
b. In the RATE field on the HDR Reconstruction Control display, type the number
of seconds between database reconstructions, then press Enter.
c. In the Every field, type the number of seconds between advances to the next
database reconstruction, then press Enter.
d. Select the Playback button.
Automatic playback begins, based on the time values entered.
e. If you want to pause the playback, select the Pause button.
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
The current database reconstruction remains in place, without advancing to the

next one.
f. To resume the playback, select Playback again.
Playback resumes, advancing to the next reconstruction at the prescribed
interval.
g. When finished, select the Exit button.
HDR exits the reconstruction function.
Note: Once Playback is completed, select the Reconstruct To Time button to start
another Playback.
9.10.2. Viewing SOE data

Go to session manager
Go to pull down menu => ER SC&C
Select the start SOE dump viewer, the program will ask for the host computer name. Enter :
EA0OC2 ( The program shall run on EA0OC2 ) A notepad editor will open along with a file
open pop-up window.
9.10.2.1. PICTURE
Navigate to select the date and the file from ( DK0:[pan25.bp.data] )
Double click on BP folder ( LEFT pane )
Select DATA folder ( LEFT pane )
Select the file by scrolling ( from the right pane )
Double click on the selected file, the file is available on the notepad.
9.10.2.2. Transferring SOE data to a PC ( EA0CO1 )
Double click on “get SOE” shortcut icon available on Desktop.

Select the SOE file to be copied to pc.
Observe the directory selected on PC for transferring the file
Select the SOE file and drag the same to the PC.
Close the copy application
Open the file using notepad / Excel from the directory.
9.10.3. Alarms and Notepad
SCADA detects and notifies operators of events and conditions in the monitored system that can
lead to operational problems. For example, SCADA can detect when a normally closed circuit
breaker trips, and can take action. SCADA can detect problems that occur for status, analog, and
count points, RTUs and other equipment in the communications system, and intersite
communications equipment and software. Individual analog or status points may optionally be
configured to suppress the alarm until the analog or status has remained in the abnormal state for
a specified period of time. In addition, SCADA can detect when control operations fail.
Some of the common conditions and events that SCADA considers abnormal, and therefore
alarmable, are as follows:
 Abnormal and illegal conditions for analog, status, and count points in the monitored system.
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
 An analog or status point's return to normal operation after being in an abnormal or illegal
state.
 Problems in the communications system, in particular with RTUs and scan groups.
These alarms are logged separately and can be viewed based on requirement. To view the
current list of analog and status alarms go to EMS panel and click on “EXCEPTIONS” button.
The time ordered alarms will be listed.
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
9.11. Area of Responsibility (AOR)
In the SCADA database the entire system (including all of the SCADA control sites) is divided
into areas and each area is named. Each area is referred to as an area of responsibility.
Dividing the control system into areas serves two purposes:
 It restricts the control of monitored devices to specific control sites and to individual operator
consoles within each site.
 It limits which control sites, and which operator consoles within each site, can respond to
alarmed conditions and events.
An area of responsibility is assigned to each device type in the monitored system and to each
RTU in the communications system. For a control operation (such as remove/restore) to be
carried out from a control site and operator console, the area of responsibility of the device
type or RTU must match the area of responsibility of the operator's console.
Similarly, an area of responsibility is assigned to RTUs, SCADA sites participating in intersite data
transfer, and substation voltage for the purpose of limiting which operator console can respond
to alarms.
Again, the console's area of responsibility must match the area name of the alarmed RTU, remote
site, or substation, in order for the alarm to be heard or seen at the console.
9.12. Saving Layout and Restoring
The user can choose to save desired set displays in a work station for his convenience of use.

Network Online sequence display. See if the solution converges or not. If not remove that particular
device (temporarily) from the network and run the sequence .
Note : some times you have to reset the errors which have been accumulated in the Network
applications by going to Network Online Sequence main display -> click on the button SE Initial
Conditions -> SE Controls View - > Select the buttons COLD INIT, FLAT START, Iteration Type to
REFACTOR, reset Standard Deviation (STDEV)and Bias. By doing this you are making the algorithm

Chapter 10
10. Metering and Settlement System
10.0. Introduction
The settlement system is an important part in implementation of Availability Based Tariff (ABT) . The
system involves metering, data collection and processing, energy accounting and raising of bills by
the constituents. This chapter indicates the roles and responsibilities of the different regional entities
in making the settlement system operative in most efficient manner.
10.1. Metering and Data Collection

9.1.1 As per Chapter-6 clause 6.4.21 of IEGC, the CTU shall install Special Energy Meters on all
inter connections between the regional entities and other identified points for recording of
actual net MWh inter-changes, average frequency on 15-minute time block and MVARh
drawls under low/high voltage conditions.
9.1.2 The type of meters to be installed, metering scheme, metering capability, testing and
calibration requirements and scheme for collection and dissemination of meter data shall be
as per Annexure-2 of IEGC.
9.1.3 All concerned entities having SEMs installed in their premises shall fully cooperate and extend
necessary assistance by taking weekly meter reading and transmitting them to ERLDC in time.
9.1.4 All concerned entities having SEMs shall also carry out necessary time adjustments in the
meter as per the procedure already in vogue/advice of
9.1.5 In the event of any reported problem of SEMs as by ERLDC during processing in the matter
shall be reported to concerned / to the owner of the meter for necessary replacement /repair.
10.2. Data Processing

9.2.1 As mentioned in section 6.4.21, all the energy meter data would reach ERLDC by every
Tuesday afternoon via email. The CTU/STU, ISGSs and regional entities shall be responsible
for sending of data of sending of data to ERLDC. ERLDC would carry out data validation and
in case of any problem, request any entity to send the data again. Each entity would therefore
have necessary backup of data at their local PC level.
9.2.2 The computation of the net injection of each ISGS and actual net drawl of each beneficiary
shall be carried out in line with clause 6.4.22 of IEGC based on the above meter readings
received at ERLDC. The preparation and issue of REA to the constituents shall be done by
ERPC Secretariat on the basis of meter data and implemented schedule forwarded by ERLDC.
9.2.3 Data related to the reactive energy exchange between two STU systems and between STU
and ISTS points would also be forwarded by ERLDC for preparation of reactive energy
accounts and communication to all constituent and ERLDC by ERPC Secretariat.
9.2.4 The final schedule implemented by ERLDC shall be open to all regional entities for checking /
verification for a period of five days and mistakes/omissions ,if any ,would be rectified.
10.3. Energy Accounting

ERPC Secretariat would process the information provided by ERLDC and other utilities to determine
the following energy accounts:
10.3.1. Monthly Regional Energy Account for the purpose of billing
a) Capacity charges payable by each beneficiary to each ISGS.
b) Energy charges payable by each beneficiary to each ISGS
c) ISGS energy scheduled for each regional beneficiaries.
In case of utilities outside Eastern regions are having shares on ISGSs, ERLDC shall be
furnishing consolidated schedule drawal at the concerned regional boundary/ies only.
_________________________________________________________________________
ERLDC:POSOCO
10.3.2. Weekly UI( Unscheduled Interchange) Account

` Weekly UI charges shall be settled as per UI calculation for each 15 minute block. The UI
charges payable/receivable shall be calculated with respect to UI Pool. The Pool Account
shall be maintained by ERLDC. The UI account as prepared by ERPC Secretariat shall have
the following components
a) UI charges payable by beneficiaries/ISGSs to Pool
b) UI charges receivable by the beneficiaries/ISGSs from the pool
c) Pool balance amount due to capping of UI rate for Thermal ISGSs.
Since the hydro stations within Bhutan System is not covered under UI mechanism of
settlement, the accounting for drawal from these stations shall be as per the Monthly energy
account as per the agreed principles. However, deviations of injections from these stations
shall be accounted for and duly apportioning the deviations amongst its beneficiaries.
10.3.3. Weekly VARh Account

The VARh account as prepared by ERPC Secretariat shall have two distinct components.
a) VARh charges payable/receivable for VARh exchange between STU systems
b) VARh charges payable by Beneficiaries for low VARh drawal or High VARh injection
between STU and ISTS points.
The VARh account low VARh drawal and High VARh injection between STU ans ISTSs shall
be maintained by ERLDC. Any payment to be made from VARh account shall be discussed
beforehand in ERPC forum.
10.3.4. Congestion Charge Account

The Congestion Charge account is prepared by ERPC secretariat. There is a congestion
imposed on real time Grid Operation, Congestion Charge shall be applicable to Regional entities as
per the CERC (Measures to relieve congestion in real time operation) Regulations and orders on rate
of congestion charge as applicable from time to time. Congestion charge would be levied for over
drawal or under-injection in the importing control area and, Congestion charge would also be levied
for under drawal or over-injection in the exporting control area.
10.4. Pool Account Operation

In line with Annexure-I of IEGC, from the date of issue of weekly UI and Reactive Energy Charge
Account by ERPC Secretariat, within 10-days, the concerned regional entity shall pay on priority the
indicated amount into regional UI, Reactive Energy and Congestion charges accounts operated by
ERLDC. The agencies that have to receive the money from pool accounts would then be paid within
3-working days. These pool accounts are to be reconciled once in periodic intervals.

CC : SE / PC / Director / DGM, SLDC/STU< BSEB/JSEB/DVC/OPTCL/WBSETCL >
Sub : Request to restrict the drawl within schedule.

At present the system frequency is below 49.8 Hz and overdrawl is being observed by your state. The present position of
over drawl by < BSEB/JSEB/DVC/OPTCL/WBSETCL > state control area is as follows:
Quantum of overdrawl in MW Frequency in Hz
Under these conditions, your specific reference is invited to Regulation 5.4.2(a), 5.4.2(b) and 6.4.7 of CERC (Indian
Electricity Grid Code) (First Amendment) Regulations 2012. The Regulation 5.4.2 (a) states that SLDC/SEB/Distribution
licensee and bulk consumers shall initiate action to restrict the drawl of its control area, from the grid, within the net
drawl schedule, whenever the system frequency falls to 49.80 Hz and Regulation 5.4.2 (b) states that the
SLDC/SEB/Distribution licensee and bulk consumers shall ensure that requisite load shedding is carried out in its control
area so that there is no overdrawl when frequency is 49.7 Hz or below. The Regulation 6.4.7 of IEGC also reiterates the
above actions to be taken by the SLDC/SEB/Distribution licensee and bulk consumers under different conditions so as to
ensure zero over‐drawl when frequency is 49.7 Hz. or below.
Alternatively
High value of overdrawl is being carried out by < BSEB/JSEB/DVC/OPTCL/WBSETCL > state control area. Under the
conditions of such high overdrawl, in the event of frequency falling down due to any event, difficulty may be expressed
by < BSEB/JSEB/DVC/OPTCL/WBSETCL > state control area in instant control of the drawls and the regulations as stated
in the above para may be violated, and network security may also be endangered.
You are, therefore, requested to take necessary measures so that there is no overdrawl by <
BSEB/JSEB/DVC/OPTCL/WBSETCL> state control area and system frequency always remains within the 49.7 Hz – 50.2 Hz
band as provided in Regulation 5.2 (m) of the CERC (Indian Electricity Grid Code) (First Amendment) Regulations 2012.

Sub: Intimation regarding violation of Regulation 5.4.2 (a), 5.4.2(b) and 6.4.7 of the CERC (Indian Electricity Grid Code)
(First amendment) Regulations 2012 and/or repeated instances of high overdrawl, and directions under regulation
5.4.2 (e) of IEGC and section 29(1) of the Electricity Act 2003 for immediate action for curtailment of overdrawl to
avoid system operation outside stipulated frequency band and for ensuring stability of the grid operation.
This has reference to earlier communications on the low frequency operation and/or overdrawl by <
BSEB/JSEB/DVC/OPTCL/WBSETCL > state control area in high range. In spite of above situations(s) the overdrawl by <
BSEB/JSEB/DVC/OPTCL/WBSETCL > state control area has not been sufficiently curtailed and at present the overdrawl is
as follows:
In this regard please refer to the regulation 5.4.2 (b) and 6.4.7 of the CERC (Indian Electricity Grid Code) First
Amendment) Regulations 2012 which states that when the frequency is 49.7 Hz, or below requisite load shedding would
be carried out by the concerned SLDC/SEB/Distribution licensee and Bulk Consumers in its control area so that there is no
overdrawl. It is therefore; pointed out that overdrawl at frequency below 49.7 Hz is violation of the regulation 5.4.2 (b)
and 6.4.7 of the IEGC.
Alternatively
In the event of consistent high overdrawal by < Name of State Control Area> state control area, in the event of frequency
falling down due to any event , difficulty may be expressed by your control area in instant control of drawal and grid
security may be endangered .
It is a matter of serious concern that the overdrawal by < BSEB/JSEB/DVC/OPTCL/WBSETCL > state control area is
continuing despite above conditions. RLDC is issuing directions under regulation 5.4.2(e) of the IEGC and Section 29(1) of
the Electricity Act 2003, to increase the generation and/or carry out automatic/manual load shedding by a quantum
equivalent to its overdrawal as per schemes prepared in compliance of regulation 5.4.2 (c) and 5.4.2 (d), so that its
overdrawal from grid becomes zero and details of the action taken be informed. Please note that the non‐compliance of
these directions would be construed as violation of IEGC and the Electricity Act 2003 and would be brought to the notice
of the Hon’ble Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC).
Further, in the event of continued overdrawal by < BSEB/JSEB/DVC/OPTCL/WBSETCL > state control area, RLDC may also
be constrained to disconnect the feeders in < BSEB/JSEB/DVC/OPTCL/WBSETCL > state control area which may result in
the loss of load / network security in a particular area of < BSEB/JSEB/DVC/OPTCL/WBSETCL > state system. The
responsibility for the same would solely be on the inadequate action from < BSEB/JSEB/DVC/OPTCL/WBSETCL > SLDC
due to inadequate actions taken in the matter. Besides the above, your state’s full entitlement in all Inter State
Generating Stations (ISGS) including the liquid backed generation may also be scheduled.
Please treat this message as ‘most urgent’ and act immediately. Kindly also report the compliance.

Sub: Intimation of violation of regulation 5.4.2(e) of the CERC (Indian Electricity Grid Code) First Amendment)
Regulations 2012 and Section 29(2)/29(3) of the Electricity Act 2003 and request for immediate action for curtailing the
overdrawl.
Please refer RLDC directions issued earlier to increase the generation and/or carry out automatic/manual load shedding
in < BSEB/JSEB/DVC/OPTCL/WBSETCL > state control area in order to maintain the grid frequency within the IEGC
stipulated frequency band given at clause 5.2(m) of the IEGC and/or to avert overdrawls in high range. These directions
were issued under Clause 5.4.2 (e) of IEGC and Section 29 (1) of the Electricity Act 2003.
However, the over drawl by < BSEB/JSEB/DVC/OPTCL/WBSETCL > state control area is continuing, in spite of above
situations. It is informed that by not complying with RLDC’s instructions, the Clause 5.4.2(e) of IEGC and Sections
29(2)/29(3) of the Electricity Act 2003 are being violated. It is also informed that apart from the violation of clauses 5.4.2
(a), 5.4.2 (b) of the IEGC, the clauses 5.4.2 (c) and 5.4.2 (d) of the IEGC which requires functioning of specific schemes for
affecting such demand management, have also been violated. The above violation of the RLDC directions as well as the
IEGC would be reported to the Hon’ble Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC).
At this moment the overdrawl by < BSEB/JSEB/DVC/OPTCL/WBSETCL > state control area is as follows:
RLDC once again requests < BSEB/JSEB/DVC/OPTCL/WBSETCL > state control area to curtail the overdrawl so that the
grid operates with adequate safety and security. It is also pointed out that under such conditions of operating of the grid,
without the desired security/reliability margins, it may result in to disintegration / disturbance in the grid and the
responsibility of such an eventuality would rest solely on < BSEB/JSEB/DVC/OPTCL/WBSETCL > state control area.
Please treat this message as ‘Most urgent’ and act immediately. Kindly also report compliance.

SPS 450
Under this mode of SPS the power injection to N-E-W grid is limited to 450 MW.
The actual generation by the generators is considered for building the logic.
Logic for single pole tripping:

This logic is based on the assumption that during the tripping of one pole of HVDC the other
available pole will automatically ramp up to 1250 MW. The logic is built using power relays
and the logic adopted is detailed below.
One pole trips
AND
Total Power injected by generators is more than 1700 MW
THEN
Tripp one of the selected unit (Presently unit six selected) instantly
Logic for Bipole tripping
Presently this logic is built using power relays and the logic adopted is
detailed below.
If Both Poles trip

AND
Power injected by Generators is more than 1100 MW
THEN
Trip two nos of selected units( presently unit six and three are selected)
IF
The total power injected by the generators is still more than 550 MW for more than 250
milliseconds
THEN
Trip Unit 4
SPS 1000
Under this mode of SPS the power injection to N-E-W grid is limited to 1000 MW. The actual
injection to the HVDC system (by measuring the flow on four a/c lines between TSTPS and
Talcher HVDC station) is considered for building the logic. Under SPS 1000 scheme no
generation shedding is required for a single pole tripping. For contingencies of both pole
tripping and for single pole tripping with the HVDC system going to ground return mode,
generation shedding will be done. Extent of generation shedding depends on the actual
power flow through the HVDC link and to limit the actual injection to N-E-W grid to 1000 MW

voltage parameters and evaluates the type Over Frequency 52.0 Hz
of fault. Then the relay gives the alarm/ for 1.0 Sec
trip command. When a trip command
actuates by the relay, it operates the
master trip relay and subsequently trips
the corresponding 132KV Grid incomer
breaker. This results in clearing the fault
and isolating the TG set from feeding the
fault current. Also there is a provision for
tripping of downstream 33KV Grid
Hindalco(CPP in The power system of CGP of Hindalco Under frequency 48.0

disturbance in the grid is sensed by the
Numerical Relay Micom P 341 through
following four criteria and it opens the
grid connecting breakers in their main
receiving substation.
IMFA (CPP in Orissa Islanding of 108 MW captive Power Plant Under frequency 48.0
