5 MAJOR ISSUES

5.1 Presentation by States on Operational Issues

5.1.1 It had been decided in the 126th OCC Meeting that all States/Generators/Powergrid may

kindly submit the presentation in prescribed template and specific issues needed to be

highlighted separately which would be deliberated. The statistics furnished in the

presentation were valuable and used in preparing the minutes.

5.1.2 In the 131st OCC Meeting SRPC requested that States may kindly furnish the status of

SCADA visibility of newly commissioned Wind/Solar Generators to SLDC/SRLDC along with

LVRT Status.

5.1.3 KPTCL is requested to furnish the updated presentation.

5.1.4 SRLDC requested that states may kindly upload their presentation by 5th of every month so

that SRLDC can compare with their information/data which will help in better

discussion/analysis of the issues.


5.2 Staggering of Loads/Overdrawal during peak hours

5.2.1 In the 130th OCC Meeting SRLDC had informed that from March 2017 onwards the SR

demand pattern was experiencing sudden and abrupt load change over in the evening peak

hours. SRPC and SRLDC had suggested that SLDCs may conduct a Meeting with

DISCOMs and discuss and arrive at an effective load staggering pattern which would

smoothen the changeover. Reports/minutes/staggering details may be submitted to

SRPC/SRLDC. In the 131st OCC it was noted that SRLDC vide letter dated 26.04.2017 had

again taken up this issue with all the States.

5.2.2 After analyzing the demand pattern for the period from 26th April 2017 to 23rd May 2017,

SRLDC vide letters dated 24.05.2017(Annexure-5A)had again taken up the issues with

AP/TS/KAR and had submitted the following:

The demand pattern and the relevant details are brought out as Annexure I of the letter.

Sharp demand changes have wide impact on governor response and parameters of

generating units, grid frequency, line flows & voltages etc. Large set point changes in

HVDC Bi pole is also resorted to which has a cumulative impact on the life of the

converter transformer. Such large quantum of load throw off during change over causes

severe over voltages in the grid. The list of lines tripped/hand tripped due to over voltage

since 1st May 2017 during change over period is also enclosed as Annexure II.

It is therefore requested that the matter may please be taken up earnestly with State

Discoms for effecting the staggered change over. Load Despatch Control Room Officials

may also be sensitized to mitigate the deviations through optimum scheduling.

Co-operation is solicited and appreciated at all times in maintaining system parameters

within IEGC range and ensuring safe, secure and integrated operation of SR/All India

Grid.

Item No.4 (d) of enclosed SRLDC letter dated 26.05.2017).

5.3 Surrender of power by the beneficiary states and sale of the same in the market –

issues to be addressed – suggestions for consideration.

5.3.1 NLC vide letter dated 22.05.2017(Annexure-5B) had raised the Technical problems in

implementing IEGC fifth Amendment and issues of URS sale and submitted the following:

NLC is basically an integrated lignite mining and power generation company, owning &

operating their open cast lignite Mines, which feed the downstream Thermal Power Plants.

Hence, the performance of the Mine depends very much upon the performance of the linked

Thermal Power Plant. The „Technical Minimum” provision in the Grid Code that has come

into force w.e.f. 15.5.2017, apart from causing technical problems in the smooth operation of

the lignite fired units has an impact on the utilization of the lignite mined out from the lignite

Mines of NLCIL impacting the Company. Though, there is provision available for sale of

power surrendered by the beneficiary states, the following difficulties are being faced by

NLCIL.


i) Technical Problems:

a) Lignite being a low calorific value and high moisture fuel, reduction of load on the lignite

fired units to such an extent leads to instability in the furnace and calls for usage of fuel

oil.

b) The newly commissioned Circulate Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) based Units of

TPS II Expansion are still under stabilization. With lot of modifications and

improvements, these units are now only being operated nearer to rated capacity and

variation in the loading of these Units leads to disturbance, including tripping of Unit

and in such an event, it takes a minimum of 15 days to restart the Unit again.

c) In case the Generator is given a schedule below the Technical Minimum and the

Generator is not able to operate the Unit, then there is an option to take Reserve shut

down of the Unit(s). This will lead to start/ stop of the Unit on a frequent basis and the

Units are not designed for such type of operation.

ii) Issues in sale of URS power:

Consent is given by the beneficiary for sale of URS power for shorter periods only.

Day to day consent is also required from the beneficiary before the sale of power is

undertaken by the Generator.

Actual surrender of the beneficiary at the end of the day is found to be much higher than

the quantum indicated to Generator as URS power for sale. This leads to availability of

lower quantum of power for sale by the Generator and the market is also deprived of the

same.

At present, Technical Minimum Schedule issued by the RLDC includes quantum of

traded URS power also. This becomes more pronounced when the surrender of power

is more.

The details of power surrender and the quantity offered for trade from 15.05.2017 to

21.5.2017 in respect of two Thermal Power Stations of NLCIL are furnished below:

Details IPS II – 7x210 MW TPS I Expansion – 2x210 MW

Declared capability of the Station (MU)

206.084 31.920

Quantum offered for trading prior to day of operation (MU)

34.537 4.008

Surrender during the day of operation (MU) which was not available for Trading (MU)

49.414 8.782

Final schedule including the power traded

154.141 23.138


%age of quantum offered to trade with respect to total URS power

41.14 31.34

%age of generation lost 25.20 27.51

From the above, the following points emerge:

If the beneficiary predict their requirement in a fairly accurate manner & offer the URS

power for trade prior to the day of operation, the quantum of power available for trading by

the Generator and also the quantum of power traded will be more.

By resorting to surrender during the day of operation, such quantum of power goes

unutilized, as the same could not be made available in the market

The provisions made in the Tariff policy for the sale of power in the market should be

complied with fully to ensure a level playing field for both the Generators and the

beneficiaries alike.

iii) Impact of the Company as a result of implementation of Technical Minimum:

The lignite produced in the Mines could not be utilized fully.

While the fixed chargers of Thermal Power Plants are recovered through the Declared

Capability (DC) of the Station, the cost of lignite is recovered through the energy charges

of the Station, which is dependent upon the schedule given by beneficiaries. The lower

the schedule, the higher will be the under recovery in Mines, as normative capacity

utilization of Mines is dependent upon the consumption of lignite by the downstream

Thermal Power Plant.

The trading of power as well as its price depends upon the market conditions and thus

there is uncertainty in the sale of surrendered power and this also impacts the revenue to

the company.

As a result of the above, the impact of implementation of “Technical Minimum” and more

so, keeping it at 55% becomes more pronounced in case of NLCIL which own both lignite

Mines and downstream Thermal Power Plants.

The power surrender in respect of NLC stations during the year 2016-17 was about 1300

MU and going by the current trend & the technical minimum at 55%, the anticipated power

surrender during this year 2017-18 will be between 2500 MU & 3000 MU and this will

result in considerable reduction in revenue to the company.

Support of required from the SRPC:

While NLICL is taking up with the CERC and the MoP for revision of “Technical Minimum

from 55% to 70% in case of lignite Thermal Power Plants of NLCIL, SRPC is requested to

take up the following issues with the beneficiaries:


The beneficiaries shall firm up their requirement closer to actual demand while furnishing

the surrender quantity to the RLDC prior to the day of operation, it is observed during last

one week of operation with technical minimum at 55%, that more than 25% of generation

is lost in NLCIL as the URS power was not available for trade, it is suggested that the

beneficiaries may be advised to provide atleast 90% of URS power for sale and keep 10%

with them for operational flexibility at their ends.

Surrender by each beneficiary should not be below the proportionate Technical Minimum

Schedule as per their entitlement so that the Generator does not suffer because of full

surrender of their share by the beneficiaries.

URS power shall be treated Independent of the Technical Minimum Schedule.

5.3.2 Subsequently SRPC vide letter dated 26.05.2017(Annexure-5C) had taken up the issue with

all the States. Station surer in MU in respect of NLC TS-II was tabulated. The surrender by

the beneficiaries in MU as also the consent was also shown in the Annexure. It can be seen

that against a surrender of about 152 MU, consent had been given for only about 48 MU.

5.3.3 It is requested by SRPC that requirement as close to actual demand may kindly be firmed up

while furnishing the surrender quantity to SRLDC, prior to the day of operation. Maximum

possible power may be proved as URS power for sale, while keeping some power for

operational flexibility. This would help ensure that the quantum of power available for trading

by the generator and also the quantum of power traded will be more. This matter is also

proposed to be discussed in the ensuing Operation Coordination Committee meeting in June

2017.

5.3.4 It was noted that NLC vide letter dated 18.05.2017(Annexure-5D) had requested Hon‟ble

CERC for upward revision of Technical Minimum on account of the difficulties encountered

during implementation of Technical Minimum at 55 %.

5.4 Request for certification of Intra – State transmission lines of APTRANSCO having

incidental flows due to Inter-State power transfers as “Non Inter State Transmission

System(ISTS) lines carrying Inter State Power

5.4.1 APTRANSCO vide letter dated 12.05.2017(Annexure-5E) had informed that in line with

CERC Regulations, APTRANSCO had requested for certification of Intra-State Lines with

incidental flows of power as Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) lines vide letter dated

09.12.2016 Subsequently in SRPC meeting that was held on 24.02.2017, it has been

decided to consider a cut off of 50% as per the methodology below:

„The certification would be valid for a financial year. The base case of each quarter

submitted by DLC to validation committee for PoC Computation of the previous year

would be examined for certification in the current year. If in each base case the usage of

state owned line is more by other state than home state then those lines would be


certified as Non-ISTS lines carrying Inter State Power. The usage of lines would be

obtained through WebNet Software.‟

5.4.2 As per the methodology finalized by SRPC, for the certification of FY 2017-18, the base case

of 4 quarters of FY 2017-18, would be utilized to decide on the certification of Non-ISTS

lines. Moreover, the certification would be valid only for the financial year, ie., FY 2017-18.

5.4.3 For the year FY 2017-18, the data submission deadline for Q1 of FY 2017-18 was 31.1.2017

and the validation committee meeting for finalizing the data for Q1 of FY 2017-18 was held

on 21st February and SRPC certification and asset wise tariff, the Non-Interstate

Transmission System (ISTS) lines of Andhra Pradesh carrying Inter State Power could not

be included in the PoC Mechanism.

5.4.4 Andhra Pradesh has lost around Rs.50 Crores due to the non-inclusion of Non-ISTS lines

carrying Inter State Power for Q1 of FY 2017-18. Andhra Pradesh has to face similar

financial loss for Q2 of FY 2017-18 on delay of certification of the non-ISTS lines carrying

Inter State Power. Further on delay of the certification in itself will be limited use as it would

be valid only for the last two quarters.

5.4.5 To enable including of the Non-ISTS lines for the Q2 of FY 2017-18, APSLDC requested the

certification of Non-ISTS lines carrying Interstate Transmission Power latest by next week.

5.4.6 APTRANSCO vide letter 25.05.2017(Annexure-5F) had further taken up the issue with

SRPC.

5.5 Optimum harnessing of RE in Southern Region

5.5.1 CEA vide letter dated 30.03.2017 had brought out the Minutes of the Meeting held on

10.02.2017 in Ministry of Power for discussing matters related to optimum harnessing of

Renewable Energy Integration in SR without endangering Grid Security. It can be noted that

a number of actionable points had been finalized in the Meeting and time line for

compliance of the same also had been specified. Enclosing the Minutes of the Meeting,

SRPC vide letter dated 02.05.2017 had requested all the concerned that the matter may

kindly be arranged to be reviewed and urgent action be arranged wherever necessitated.

5.5.2 In the Meeting, MS SRPC suggested that a meeting may be scheduled to discuss on the

status of action taken w.r.t the Minutes of MoP Meeting.

5.5.3 Subsequently a Special TCC Meeting was convened on 20.05.2017 at SRPC Bangalore.

stipulated revised environmental norms. It was requested that the kind attention of MoP may

be bestowed on this issue of funding either from PSDF or any other fund to meet the

stipulated revised environmental norms.

5.9 Compliance of CEA Regulations for Grid connectivity of Renewable Energy Sources

5.9.1 CEA vide letter dated 12.04.2017 had informed that in compliance to the Clauses 6(3) and

6(4)(b) of Central Electricity Authority (Technical Standards for Connectivity to Grid)

Regulations 2007 CEA and Central Electricity Authority (Technical Standards for

Connectivity of the Distributed Generation Resources) Regulations 2013 on 30th September

2013 it is obligatory for all the grid connected renewable generators to provide necessary

facilities for data-communication and data-storage and other parameters as may be

stipulated. The said CEA Regulations also places onus on the generating plants including

renewable to coordinate with appropriate licenses on issues including but not limited to

protection safety and metering.

5.9.2 With the above perspective as emerging from the CEA Regulations in force, the SLDCs are

requested to take up the matter with all the renewable generators to ensure transfer of

data to the appropriate Load Despatch Centre, so that the real time generation data is

available with them for centralized monitoring. It was also requested that to indicate the

present status in this regard and the action plan with definite time frame to ensure real time

data telemetry from all the grid connected Renewable Generators/Plants to the SLDCs.

5.9.3 CEA had requested SRPC to take up the issue with the concerned SLDC/utility operating the

SLDC and desired that this may be kept as an agenda item for OCC Meetings for periodical

review of the status of real time data telemetry from all the Grid Connected Renewable

Generators/Plants to the SLDCs.

5.9.4 Subsequently CEA vide letter dated 08.05.2017 had enclosed MoP letter dated 06.04.2017.

MoP letter had conveyed the main decisions:

CEA to ensure that necessary rules and regulations regarding generation data

communication including RE generators are in place and being implemented in true

spirit along with the suitable monitoring mechanism/penal mechanism for non-

compliance.

The National level Registry to be maintained by Central Electricity Authority (CEA),

where generation capacity data of all kind of Generators (Conventional, Non-


conventional, Non-captive, Captive ISGS or In SGS) will be available. The State

level Registry shall be maintained at the respective SLDCs also generation capacity

data of all kind of Generators (Conventional, Non-conventional, Non-captive, Captive)

in the respective States will be available. The State level data should further be

communicated to CEA and NLDC for maintaining record at National level on real time

basis.

CEA observed that the data communication system for Discom embedded

Renewable Energy generators (Solar, Wind, Roof-Top Solar etc) is not available in a

number of cases, because of which real time generation data is not available. The

availability of data communication system is very vital considering Grid security

aspects.

Further, to have availability of data of installed Capacity (including RE capacity) in

the country, it is desirable that a data Registry-at State as well as National level be

put in place for compilation of generation data of all kind of Generators

(Conventional, Non-conventional, Non-captive, Captive ISGS or In SGS).

5.9.5 In view of the above, it was requested that in order to work out a necessary framework,

inputs be collected from the relevant stakeholders. It was requested to send to CEA the

relevant inputs including the suggestive framework of rules, appropriate mechanism, penal

provisions for non-compliance and a fool proof mechanism of implementation of the

framework.

5.9.6 SRPC vide letter dated 23.05.2017 had submitted to RES Division, CEA that during

deliberations in the subcommittee Meetings, it was noted that data availability for roof top

solar at the SLDCs would be difficult with available infrastructure at the DISCOM level and

disbursed and low installed capacity roof top solar installations. It was requested that it may

be kindly clarified whether data/communication availability of all Roof Top solar would be

required at the SLDCs.

5.10 State-wise allocation of 540 MW power from RGPPL to Railways

5.10.1 CEA vide letter No. 5/AI/CSA/GM/2017 dated 22.03.2017 had enclosed MoP Order No.

4/22/2011-Th-Vol-III) dated 17.03.2017 in which 540 MW power from Ratnagiri Gas

and Power Private Limited (RGPPL) has been allocated to Indian Railways.

Allocation to SR States (out of 540 MW) would be as under:

State Nodal Railway Maximum load in MW after availability of corridor between NEW Grid and SR*

Telangana SCR 50*

Tamil Nadu SR 100*

date of effectiveness subject to availability of transmission corridor as per

assessment of CTU.

5.10.2 TSTRANSCO and TANTRANSCO were also requested to conduct Meeting with Railways for

ensure availability of infrastructure, firmed up scheduling mechanism etc.

5.10.3 Subsequently the following were noted:

SRPC vide letter dated 19.04.2017 had requested CTU that the likely time frame in which

the transmission corridor would be available for transmission of power to Railways may

kindly be arranged to be conveyed to SRPC at an early date. CTU vide letter dated

20.04.2017 had informed that ATC to SR from new Grid has already been allocated to


LTA/MTOA applicants for transfer of power to constituent states of Southern Region

including Telangana and Tamil Nadu. Transfer of 150 MW can be affected upon

commissioning of upcoming Nizamabad-Maheswaram 765 kV D/C line, which is likely to

be commissioned by October 2017.

TSTRANSCO had convened a Meeting with Railways, SRLDC & SRPC on 28.04.2017.

Minutes of the Meeting are at Annexure-5P.

TANTRANSCO vide letter dated 18.04.2017 had informed that the issue of consideration

of Open Access by Southern Railway as Deemed Licensee is sub-judice. At this stage

since the Petition on the above matter is pending with the Hon‟ble APTEL, New Delhi and

pending in principle approval from TANGEDCO, permitting Open Access to Southern

Railways as Deemed Distribution Licensee for availing allocated power from RGPPL is

not feasible.

5.10.4 Southern Railways representative informed that PPA with RGPPL had been signed on

25.04.2017 and requested TN for operationalization of the allocation. They have applied

for connectivity to CTU/STU(for 100 MW). Southern Railway may be required to have

agreement for 300 MW ie for their connected load.

5.10.5 Subsequently CEA vide letter dated 22.05.2017(Annexure-5Q) had endorsed MoP letter

dated 18.05.2017 in which 35 MW of power is allocated to KPTCL (SWR).

5.10.6 It was noted that the allocation to Karnataka does not link the effectiveness subject to the

availability of transmission corridor as per assessment of CTU as for Telanaga and Tamil

Nadu. SRPC vide letter dated 23.05.2017 (Annexure-5R) had submitted to GM. Division

absorption/injection. The minutes of the Meeting are available at SRPC Website.

7.2.4.4 Summary / Recommendations of the Special Meeting:

For some generators, it was noted that there was injection / absorption at the same

voltage levels though tap position and Vref were reportedly unchanged. All the

generators were requested to kindly analyse the response and take steps to

improve the performance.

It was noted that there were still some margins available as per Capability Curve

and generators could consider improving the MVAR interchange.


It was noted that few units were not keeping the Vref at nominal and were changing it

manually to control / restrict the MVAR interchange. This was to be discontinued

immediately.

SLDCs would discuss MVAR issues for embedded generators along with

RGMO/FGMO issues.

SRLDC would take up the status point availability to SRLDC of the GT taps for ISG

stations wherever not extended.

MVAR testing would be taken up for a few stations shortly and schedule would be

communicated by SRLDC.

to be furnished to SRPC/SRLDC. SRPC/SRLDC/KPTCL had expressed concern and

pointed out that KPCL/KPTCL had completed the identified steps in the adjoining areas

of KGS.

7.2.4.6 SRLDC had expressed that voltages still prevails at 420 kV . KGS needed to be

proactive and commissioning of the 2 x 125 MVAR reactors needs to be expedited.

Other units should support the grid with MVAR absorption to possible capability.

7.2.4.7 NTPL Unit I & II MVAR absorption was observed to be injecting MVAR upto 420 kV. As

per Capability Curve the limit is 180 MVAR at full load (500MW). It was felt that Voltage

set point/tap position may be reviewed by NTPL. SRLDC requested NTPL to look into it

and confirm regarding the tap position etc.

7.2.4.8 MVAR Interchange/MVAR capability testing

Nodal Officers may kindly ensure that the data reaches SRLDC/SRPC in time (by

fourth of every month) so that SRLDC can correlate it with SCADA data and analysis

could be done facilitating actions for further improvement.

Recommendations finalized in the Special Meetings were required to be implemented.

All the SLDCs to kindly monitor VAR absorption/injection of generating units in their respective control areas in real-time.

Hon‟ble CERC Order dated 23.12.2009 merited attention in this regard. It had been

stated in the Order that all agencies needed to provide required reactive

13 RGMO

13.1 RGMO response had been deliberated in various Special/OCC/TCC/SRPC meetings.

Inadequate response was an area of serious concern and there was no noticeable

improvement.

13.2 In earlier OCC Meetings, the following had been noted:

SLDCs were requested to analyze the RGMO instances posted by SRLDC for the

generators in their control area and take up action as per 84/MP/2015.

Inadequate Response to be taken up with SERC (Petition No.302/MP/2013).

Action on recommendations finalized in the Special Meetings needed to be taken

by generators/states. All generators were kindly requested to take all steps to

ensure intended RGMO/FGMO response.

As per the order in RGMO Petition No. 302/MP/2013, the units (including state

embedded) shall not be scheduled beyond their ex-bus generation corresponding

to 100% of their installed capacity.

13.3 In the Meeting it was noted that a Special Meeting had been convened on 04.04.2017 to

discuss on RGMO/FGMO issues. The minutes of the Meeting are available at SRPC

website. Summary / Recommendations are listed below:

It was noted that a number of units were not giving the desired performance. SLDCs

would call for a meeting of the embedded generators within 20 days and take

up issues in respect of RGMO/FGMO with MI performance and extension of RGMO

status to SLDC/SRLDC. Within 30 days, MoM (by 03.05.2017) would be

communicated to SRPC/SRLDC. Inadequate response could be taken up by


SLDC‟s with respective SERC‟s in line with Orders of Hon‟ble CERC in respect of

Petition No.84/MP/2015 and 302/MP/2013.

NLC, NTPL, CEPL, IL&FS, HNPCL, TPCIL, SGPL, JSWEL & UPCL would carry out

necessary changes/modifications through their OEM‟s/Concerned Entities to ensure

RGMO compliance as mandated in IEGC. Compliance Report would be

communicated within 30 days (By 03.05.2017).

It was noted that few generators had implemented dead band in the Operating

Frequency Range. It was noted that such dead band, if any, was to be

immediately disabled and confirmation was to be communicated by

03.05.2017.

It was noted that different logics were implemented by different generators for RGMO

compliance. It was therefore decided (Meeting planned on 12.04.2017) to have a

sub group meeting to have a better understanding of different logics. All Generators

to note that this was only for enhanced understanding. However, onus to deliver

mandated RGMO/FGMO with MI performance as per Regulations was on the

concerned generator only.

It was noted that some of the generators were disabling RGMO without informing /

getting concurrence from SLDC/SRLDC. IEGC provision states ‘5.2(f)(ii)(c) if any of

the generating units is required to be operated without its governor in operation as

specified above, the RLDC shall be immediately advised about the reason and

duration of such operation.’ The IEGC provision needed to be complied with.

SRLDC informed that after 03.05.2017, performance would be analysed and if there

was no significant improvement, they may be constrained to approach higher body

in this regard. The performance could be reviewed in the next Meeting in June 2017.

It was noted that higher resolution (second sampling or below) could be furnished for

better assessment of RMGO performance.

13.4 RGMO implementation/ Extension of RGMO status point to SLDC

It was noted that (if technically not feasible) breaker contacts could be alternatively extended for FGMO with MI as status point. For RGMO status point was to be extended.

RGMO could be kept ON always, even though the unit is out.

All SLDCs were suggested to ensure various provisions of IEGC/CERC/CEA regulations including RGMO before confirming COD for the embedded generators.

To maintain the continuity of the issues, it was agreed that Nodal Officer should invariably attend the meetings.

The list of Nodal Officers was updated in the Meeting.

13.5 RGMO analysis for 26.04.2017, 09.05.2017, 18.05.2017 and 23.05.2017

14 TRANSMISSION NETWORK ISSUES AND SYSTEM OPERATION ISSUES

14.1 Load ability of ICTs and revisit of the associated protection settings to prevent cascaded

tripping of ICTs / high loading of transmission lines

14.2 Insufficient action in controlling the loading of ICTs leads to N-1 criteria violation in

compliance of Regulation 3.1 f(8) of CEA(Grid Standards) Regulations 2010 and Regulation

3.5 a(i) of CERC Indian Electricity Grid Code Regulations 2010.

14.3 N-1 violation of Trichy, Madurai, Guttur, Hoody, Gazuwaka, Nellore & Narendra ICTs. It

was noted that continuous overloading of Trichy ICTs still persists.

experiencing the Over loading of Trichy ICTs between 04:00 PM to 07:00 PM on daily

basis. In spite of alerting the Regional and State control centers, the over loading still

continues. It was noted that over loading of ICTs may lead to deterioration of oil /insulation

which may result in premature failure of ICTs.It is requested to proactively curtail the

loading of ICTs during peak hours in order to avoid over loading.

Any outage of ICTs due to rise in fault gases shall be attributable to TNEB.

14.6 SRLDC had requested all the constituents that whenever real time messages were issued

to control over ICT loadings, constituents should be committed to take necessary steps/load

shedding to curtail the overloading. SRLDC requested for urgent action to alleviate the


loading of 400/220 kV ICTs. A long term solution of augmentation/load reconfiguration

needed to be considered / implemented in view of grid security. Action Plan of constituents

to restrict the loading to permissible limit may kindly be furnished to SRLDC and immediate

action needs to be initiated.

(Item No. 8(b,c,d & e) of enclosed SRLDC letter dated 26.05.2017).
