for the scheme has already been taken in 129th

OCC meeting and thereafter ratified in

the 35th

TCC and 39th

NRPC meeting to book the cost of the implementation of

revised SPS in some other ongoing project/work. All members in general and

POWERGRID in particular, were advised not to bring up any issue which has already

been discussed and settled in NRPC/ TCC subsequently in any sub-committee of

NRPC.

POWERGRID may kindly apprise the Committee about the implementation of the

scheme.

capacitor requirement in NR during FY 2016-17 and 2017-18, was entrusted on CPRI.

However, due to delay in data submission by the utilities, it was decided to conduct

the studies for FY 2017-18 and 2018-19.

B.2.2 CPRI carried out system study for capacitor requirement in NR based on the data

made available to them by the NR constituents and lumping load at 132/220 kV

nodes.

B.2.3 In 37th

TCC / 40th

NRPC meeting, it was decided that for obtaining more feasible and

practical requirement of capacitors the study shall be conducted at 11/33 kV level.

Citing the involvement of huge exercise of data collection involving the Discoms, it

was also decided in the 40th

NRPC meeting to conduct the study for 2019-20 in place

of 2018-19 and in two stages:

B.6 LVRT compliance by wind generation

B.6.1 The issue of non-compliance of the Technical Standards for Connectivity to the Grid,

(Amendment), regulations, 2012 by most of the wind generators in Rajasthan was

discussed in the 38th

TCC and 41st NRPC meeting.

B.6.2 In the meeting it was decided that the must run status of the wind generators should

only be granted to LVRT compliant wind generators and non-compliant wind

generators shall not be scheduled and it should be the responsibility of state SLDC

(Rajasthan SLDC in this case) for the implementation of the same. It was also decided

that in future all the constituent States shall not give connectivity to the wind

generators unless LVRT compliance was fully met.

B.6.3 Rajasthan SLDC was also advised to issue a notice to all LVRT non-compliant wind

generators, providing them with one month time for compliance to LVRT, failing

14

which SLDC would be constrained to deny scheduling to the non-compliant wind

generators.

B.6.4 In 145th

OCC meeting, representative of RVPNL informed about the office

memorandum from MNRE (Annexure B 6). This OM requires WTG manufactures

to obtain statement of Compliance (SoC)/Confirmatory Statement for

demonstrating the compliance to applicable CEA Technical Standards for

Connectivity to the Grid for their WTG models which were unable to get LVRT

compliance certificate from accredited testing agencies.

B.6.5 In the said OM, the following has been mentioned:

“Concerned WTG manufactures may apply for LVRT testing to any internationally

accredited testing body or NIWE by 15.3.2018, which should include the following:

i An affidavit that the manufacturer would comply with CEA Technical standards for

connectivity to the grid.

ii A bank guarantee of Rs 1 crore per model, which would be returned on producing

the compliance certificate for LVRT and other technical standards as stipulated by

CEA.”

B.6.6 Rajasthan SLDC may kindly update the forum with the details of the compliance by

all the WTG and if non-compliant then have their OEM applied for LVRT testing as

stipulated in the above OM by 15.3.2018.

RVPNL may kindly update the action taken against LVRT non complaint

generators.

B.7 Early commissioning of transmission lines (Agenda by POWERGRID)

B.7.2 In 38th

TCC & 41st NRPC meetings (held on 27

th and 28

th February,2018

respectively), NRLDC pointed out long outage of few transmission elements and

opined that Commissioning of 765kV Jabalpur-Orai D/C line would reduce loading

on existing WR-NR interconnections and may even increase inter-regional import

limits for NR. TCC advised all entities to complete the work in time bound manner.

15

B.7.3 Considering the import requirement of NR in its peak season POWERGRID has

commissioned the whole system consisting of 765kV Jabalpur-Orai D/C line on best

effort basis. With this, Inter Regional ATC of WR-NR has increased by 2700 MW,

which will help in improving the power situation of the Region.

Members may kindly approve the early commissioning of the above elements.

B.8 Funding for the scheme “Provision of STATCOM at Nalagarh& Lucknow in

Northern Region” (Agenda by POWERGRID)

B.8.1 The STATCOMs at Nalagarh& Lucknow substations of POWERGRID in Northern

Region were agreed in the 32nd

Standing Committee meeting of NR & 29th

Northern

Region Power Committee meeting held on 13/08/13 & 13/09/13 respectively.

B.8.2 Funding of this scheme with an estimated cost of Rs 367.7 Cr (Aug’2015 price level)

was proposed through PSDF by POWERGRID vide application dated 07/01/16 to

NLDC. It was proposed that the scheme may be implemented using 80% of PSDF and

remaining portion shall be funded by POWERGRID through internal resources. The

Appraisal Committee during its 12th

meeting held on 16.06.2016 was of the view that

approval of the concerned RPC i.e. NRPC may be taken. Accordingly, the matter was

discussed during 39th

NRPC meeting held on 02.05.2017. During the meeting, NRPC

approved the funding of the scheme “Provision of STATCOM at Nalagarh&

Lucknow in Northern Region” through PSDF.”

B.8.3 Further, The Appraisal Committee during its 18th

meeting held on 05.02.2018,

disallowed the PSDF funding as LOA’s have already been placed. Accordingly, the

scheme “Provision of STATCOM at Nalagarh& Lucknow in Northern Region” would

be funded by POWER GRID through internal resources. The commissioning schedule

of the scheme is Feb’19.

This is for thekind information of members.

B.9 Phase nomenclature mismatch between BBMB and some interconnected stations

of other power utilities

B.9.1 In the 34th

PSC meeting, the issue of mismatch of phase sequence nomenclature of

BBMB system interconnected with other utilities was highlighted.

B.9.2 The conditions prevailing at present are as follows:

Phase of the grid Corresponding nomenclature of the

phase at BBMB end

16

R Phase B Phase

Y Phase R Phase

B Phase Y Phase

B.9.3 To resolve the issue, in the 38th

TCC / 41st NRPC meeting it was decided that a

committee would be formed to comprising of BBMB constituent states, utilities with

which BBMB has interconnection, NRPC Sectt and POWERGRID.

B.9.4 The committee has been formed and first meeting of the committee was held on

05.06.2018. In the meeting BBMB has proposed a plan to resolve the issue and as per

the proposed plan, it would take around only 7-10 days to resolve the complete issue

at multiple locations. BBMB had informed in the meeting that the proposed exercise

would be done during the lean season in November- December 2018.

B.9.5 The plan was well appreciated by the committee members as it was out of the box

thinking by BBMB engineers. (Details of the plan enclosed at Annexure – B.9 )

B.9.6 Citing the criticality of the issue and to avoid any mishaps during the execution of the

proposed exercise, BBMB was requested to submit a detailed action plan within 15

days of the meeting of the activities which will be performed during the execution of

the exercise so that proper coordination may be ensured between all the utilities for

successful execution.

B.9.7 The action plan would be vetted by the committee and thereafter before going ahead

with the execution BBMB will get the recommended plan approved in their power

sub-committee of board meeting.

B.21 Maintaining of temperature at control centers:

B.21.1 In 13th

meeting of TeST sub-committee held on 24th

April 2018, POWERGRID

representative informed that as per discussion during MRM meeting, they had

collected data from AMC vendor for availability of AC system at sub-station premises

where DCPS with battery banks were installed, and it was observed that around 40-

45% locations, AC system was not provided / not adequate to maintain room

temperature at 25-27 degree.

B.21.2 Life span of installed VRLA type batteries depends on maintenance of temperature in

battery room. If properly designed, built, and maintained, a battery can provide many

years of reliable service. A reduction to 80% of the rated capacity is usually defined

as the end of life for a lead-acid battery. Below 80%, the rate of battery deterioration

accelerates, and it is more prone to sudden failure resulting from a mechanical shock

(such as a seismic event) or a high discharge rate. Even under ideal conditions, a

battery is expected to eventually wear out in 5-7 years.

B.21.3 POWERGRID representative requested all Constituents to have adequate numbers of

Air conditioners to maintain the temperature of 27degree Celsius in Communication,

Server room, Battery room. He informed that SCADA/URTDSM servers have inbuilt

feature for Auto shutdown to prevent loss of data in case of over temperature (set at

33 Degree).

No of locations from where AMR data are received in totality and used for

energy accounting for last 04 weeks have been given below:

C.18.4 The members may appreciate that data from all locations are required for calculation

of losses and preparation of weekly regional energy account. Non-availability of data

from so many stations is making it difficult for NRLDC to process the meter data for

loss calculation and timely submission of data to NRPC for preparation/issuance of

weekly energy accounts.

C.18.5 In the last meeting; it was proposed that POWERGRID should take up the matter with

M/s Kalkitech and ensure that AMR data from all sites shall be made to NRLDC

lasted by Tuesday Morning. However, there has not been significant improvement in

availability of data through AMR.

Members may deliberate.

th& 28

thFeb, 2018, it was discussed

and in principle agreed to switchover to optical fibre network for meter data

transmission, wherever feasible. TCC requested POWERGRID to intimate the

estimated cost implication for shifting of AMR data on OPGW network, wherever

feasible. POWERGRID has agreed for the same.

C.20.3 In 13th

TeST meeting held on 24th

April, 2018, POWERGRID was requested to intimate

the estimated cost implication for shifting the AMR data on OPGW network, wherever

feasible. POWERGRID agreed for the same and requested NRLDC to convey its

acceptance for the pilot project at MaharaniBagh. Subsequently, NRLDC has

conveyed its confirmation regarding the pilot project to POWERGRID.

POWERGRID may submit the estimated cost details including cost implication,

no. of locations where this is feasible and time frame for shifting AMR data

communication on OPGW network for discussion in the meeting.

Members may kindly discuss

C.21 Time drift Correction in SEMS:

C.21.1 NRLDC is regularly uploading the discrepancy report on weekly basis indicating the

likely time drift in meters and also replacement/rectification required in special energy

meters. All constituents in whose premises the meters are installed are required to

45

take corrective action for time correction based on the weekly discrepancy report of

NRLDC. Besides uploading of weekly report the many times the NRLDC metering

group is also taking up the matter with concerned over telephonically and/or through

e-mail also. However, no improvement is observed.

C.21.2 Further, NRLDC vide its letter Ref. No. NRLDC/MO/2018/108-118 dated 04.01.18 ,

Ref No: NRLDC/MO/2018/372 dated 05.03.2018, Ref No: NRLDC/MO/2018/767-

793 dated 14.05.2018 have circulated the list of SEMs where time correction is

required to all the state utilities, SLDCs, POWERGRID Stations, Generation stations

and have asked them to submit the reports to NRLDC after necessary time correction.

But NRLDC has yet to receive the compliance report from them except BBMB and

few other stations. It is therefore requested that all these utilities shall ensure the time

correction of the SEMs in their respective premises and submit the report to NRLDC.

Proposal on behalf of BBMB for correction of phase nomenclature mismatch

between BBMB and other interconnected substation of PGCIL, PSTCL, HPSEB,

NTPC.

Brief History: Generating machines of Dehar Power House were commissioned

during 1977-1983. Synchronizing of 220kV Dehar Power House machines (bays

having R, Y, B phase nomenclature) was done with the existing grid by connecting

with Y, B, R phase nomenclature of the grid at 1st tower of 220kV BBMB Dehar-

BBMB Ganguwal Ckt. -1 & 2 at Dehar Power House, entering tower of 220kV BBMB

Dehar – HPSEB Kangoo at Kangoo substation. Synchronizing of 132kV Dehar

Power House system (bays having R, Y, B phase nomenclature) was done with the

existing 132kV system of HPSEB Kangoo through 132kV BBMB Dehar – HPSEB

Kangoo by connecting with Y, B, R phase nomenclature at entering tower of the line

at Kangoo substation.

400kV system of Dehar Power House (bays having R, Y, B phase

nomenclature) was connected with 400kV bays having same R, Y, B phase

nomenclature at Panipat in 1979. Synchronizing of 400kV system of Panipat (bays

having R, Y, B phase nomenclature) was done with 400kV system of NTPC Dadri

(UP) by connecting with Y, B, R phase nomenclature at leaving tower of 400kV

Dehar- Muradabad U.P. (now Dadri-1) at Panipat substation in 1984. Synchronizing

of 400kV system of Panipat (bays of 400/220kV, 450MVA ICTs having R, Y, B phase

nomenclature) was done with 220kV system by connecting with Y, B, R phase

nomenclature of 220kV Bus at Panipat. Later on, 400kV BBMB Panipat – NTPC

Dadri Ckt.-2 (bays having R, Y, B phase nomenclature at Panipat) was

commissioned in 03/2006 by connecting with Y, B, R phase nomenclature at leaving

tower of 400kV Dadri-1 & 2 at Panipat substation. Further, in 03/2015, 400kV

Panipat- Dehar line was LILO at Panchkula by connecting R, Y, B phase of the line

bays at Panipat and Dehar PH with Y, B, R phase at Panchkula substation.

400kV system of Dehar Power House (bays having R, Y, B phase

nomenclature) was connected with 400kV bays having same R, Y, B phase

nomenclature at Bhiwani in 1990. Synchronizing of 400kV system of Bhiwani (bays

of 400/220kV, 500MVA ICT having R, Y, B phase nomenclature) was done with

220kV system by connecting with Y, B, R phase nomenclature of 220kV Bus at

61

Bhiwani. Later on synchronizing of 400kV system of Bhiwani (bays having R, Y, B

phase nomenclature) was done with 400kV system of PGCIL through 400kV BBMB

Bhiwani - PGCIL Hisar and 400kV BBMB Bhiwani - PGCIL Bhiwani by connecting

with Y, B, R phase nomenclature at leaving tower of both the 400kV lines at Bhiwani

substation. Further, in 06/2016, 400kV Bhiwani - Dehar line was LILO at Rajpura by

connecting R, Y, B phase of the line bays at Bhiwani and Dehar PH with Y, B, R

phase at Rajpura substation.

The system is running smoothly from about 1979 with above mismatch of

phase nomenclature. This phase mismatch is in the knowledge of BBMB and other

interconnecting power utilities. LILO of 400kV Dehar-Panipat and 400kV Dehar-

Bhiwani line was done at PGCIL Panchkula and PSTCL Rajpura satisfactorily by

keeping in consideration of above phase nomenclature mismatch. Also, on account

of mismatch phase nomenclature, on the following sections of the system, Protection

Relays fault indications / fault phase at different ends has already been specified as

of problem. But at the time of multiple elements tripping at 400/220/132kV Dehar

Power House (BBMB) at 00:28hrs / 21.04.17, NRPC reported in 34th PSC meeting

agenda point B.-1st that as per PMU B-phase fault observed, however, as per DR

details of Dehar Power House Y-phases fault observed.

In 34th PSC meeting it was discussed that there is mismatch of phase

nomenclature between BBMB and some interconnected stations of other power

utilities. It leads to confusion of mismatch of relay indications at BBMB substation

and other end at the time of faults on lines. The subject matter was later on

discussed onward 138th OCC meetings. BBMB was informed to submit the detailed

report with corrective action to correct phase nomenclature mismatch. Accordingly,

Chief Engineer/TS, BBMB, Chandigarh vide office order no. 840 dated 4/9/2017 had

constituted a committee for looking into the matter of difference of phase

nomenclature at 400KV BBMB Dehar Power House, 400kV Substation BBMB

Bhiwani and 400kV Substation BBMB Panipat with inter connected substations of

HPSEB Kangoo, PSTCL Rajpura, PGCIL Panchkula, PGCIL Hisar, PGCIL Bhiwani,

NTPC Dadri. The committee submitted it findings on 27.11.17 about the prevailing

conditions at the interconnection points.

The report of the committee was submitted to NRPC and the same was

discussed in 142nd meeting of OCC (Agenda 8). In this meeting, SE (O), NRPC

stated that the findings of the report details only about the prevailing conditions at the

interconnection points and does not mention remedial action for rectifying the same.

Representative of BBMB stated that the issue involved was only of the nomenclature

of phases which would not lead to any technical problem. He brought up to the sub-

63

committee the various problems which would be faced in order to change the

nomenclature (color coding, ferruling etc.) in the already established infrastructure.

Citing the coordination and other operational problems because of this mismatch of

nomenclature, BBMB was directed to widely circulate the findings of the report

(Annexure – Agenda 8) to all their interconnected utilities. BBMB was also directed

to display the phase nomenclature of BBMB and their corresponding phases in the

grid at their Switchyard and Control Room. Also they were advised that while

reporting any issue, the phase nomenclature of the grid and that of BBMB shall be

clearly mentioned in order to avoid any misinterpretation.

Accordingly, the copy of Annexure – Agenda 8 of OCC having findings

about the prevailing conditions of Phase nomenclature mismatch between BBMB

and some interconnected stations of other Power Utilities was circulated widely to all

the quarter concerned utilities.

Further, the matter was followed up regularly in OCC and OCC has

decided to modify the nomenclature of the phase prevailing at BBMB substations

citing the danger it may pose to grid security. BBMB had raised concern in the OCC

meetings that the issue could not be resolved in one go and they also required

coordination from all the concerned utilities to carry out this activity. Representative

of BBMB informed that the execution of this work would require at least 06 months

and could only be taken from October 2018 during the lean period. BBMB requested

NRPC to form a committee of all the concerned utilities for getting the execution of

the same. TCC agreed to the request of BBMB of forming a committee and advised

BBMB to complete the execution within 06 months starting from October 2018. In

38th TCC & 41st NRPC meeting and 145th OCC meeting wherein it was decided to

form a Committee under the Chairmanship of MS, NRPC comprising of Members

from BBMB, PGCIL, PSTCL, HPSEB, Haryana, Rajasthan, NRLDC to advise BBMB

on resolving the phase nomenclature mismatch.

BBMB Proposal for scruitining by the Committee:

Existing bay colour coding, ferrules of wires for control circuit, C.B.,

CTs/CVTs, isolators etc. are in accordance to the BBMB bay nomenclature of R, Y,

B. Similarly, on 400kV BBMB lines (Dehar-Panchkula, Dehar-Rajpura, Panipat-

Panchkula, Bhiwani-Rajpura) conductor phase identification is in accordance to the

BBMB bays i.e R, Y, B. Hence, change of conductor phase identification of lines /

64

colour coding of bay equipments / ferrules of wires in the established infrastructure to

make the bay as Y, B, R for similar phase nomenclature of BBMB and other utilities

is not advisable at all.

The R, Y, B phase nomenclature at Dehar Power House for 400kV and

220kV buses and bays is different from PGCIL Panchkula / PSTCL Rajpura / HPSEB

Kangoo / BBMB MISS Ganguwal. This phase nomenclature of R, Y, B at Dehar

Power House is equal to Y, B, R of PGCIL/ PSTCL/HPSEB/MISS Ganguwal. To

correct phase nomenclature mismatch between DPH and PGCIL, PSTCL, Kangoo

HPSEB, BBMB MISS Ganguwal phase connections shall be changed on the primary

side of concerned connectivity points at PGCIL Panchkula, PSTCL Rajpura, HPSEB

Kangoo, and BBMB DPH.

Similarly, the R, Y, B Phase nomenclature at BBMB Panipat for 400kV Bus

/ Bays is different from PGCIL Panchkula / NTPC Dadri and 220kV BBMB Bus at

Panipat. To correct phase nomenclature mismatch between BBMB Panipat and

PGCIL Panchkula, NTPC Dadri and 220kV BBMB Bus at Panipat connections shall

be changed on the primary side of concerned connectivity points at PGCIL

Panchkula, Panipat substation.

Also, the R, Y, B Phase nomenclature at BBMB Bhiwani for 400kV Bus /

Bays is different from PGCIL Hisar / PGCIL Bhiwani / PSTCL Rajpura / 220kV BBMB

Bus Bhiwani. To correct phase nomenclature mismatch between BBMB Bhiwani and

PGCIL Hisar & Bhiwani, PSTCL Rajpura and 220kV BBMB Bus at Bhiwani

connections shall be changed on the primary side of concerned connectivity points at

PSTCL Rajpura, Bhiwani substation.

The scope of work to correct phase nomenclature on primary equipments in

respect of Dehar Power House, Panipat and Bhiwani substation is discussed

as below:-

The work will be started from Dehar Power House and entire work shall be

completed in 5 phases. The work of Dehar Power House shall be completed in three

phases. The work of Panipat substation shall be done in one phase. Similarly, work

at Bhiwani substation shall also be completed in another one phase.

In existing system, 400kV & 220kV Dehar Generating Machines, having

phase nomenclature with R, Y, B has been synchronized with 220kV & 400kV Bus at

DPH with similar R, Y, B phase nomenclature. For this, Generating Machine Red &

Blue phase out put voltage is taken as reference voltage for synchronizing with

Yellow phase Bus voltage through Interposing Voltage Transformer (IVT). However,

R, Y, B phase of 220kV & 400kV Bus are connected with Y, B, R phase of grid. After

change of connections on the primary side of concerned connectivity points at

PGCIL Panchkula, PSTCL Rajpura, HPSEB Kangoo, BBMB DPH, generating

machines having phase nomenclature with R, Y, B shall be synchronized with the

grid same phase nomenclature R, Y, B. Hence, there shall be no any change in

secondary or synchronization drawing / scheme. For correction of phase

nomenclature mismatch, the work shall be divided in to three phases as below:-

a.) 1st Phase for 220kV Bus-1:

On first day, only phase correction of 220kV Dehar-Ganguwal Ckt. No. 1 will be

done by taking minimum elements out of service. For this, 220kV Bus-1 shall be

taken out of service by taking out 220kV Machine No. 1 (C.B. A-1), 220kV Dehar-
