MINUTES OF THE 80th OPERATION COORDINATION SUB-COMMITTEE MEETING OF NERPC

Date Time : 10/12/2012 (Monday) : 10:30 hrs

Venue : Hotel Grand Starline, Guwahati. The List of Participants in the 80th OCC Meeting is attached at Annexure I

The meeting was started with welcome address by Shri F. E. Kharshiing, Executive Engineer, Meghalaya Energy Corporation Limited (MeECL). He welcomed all the participants to the 80th OCC meeting on behalf of MeECL and stated that MeECL is honoured to host the 80th OCC meeting of NERPC in the Guwahati. He requested all the participants to take part in the discussion. He then requested Member Secretary I/C, NERPC to proceed with the meeting. Shri S.K. Ray Mohapatra, Member Secretary I/C, NERPC welcomed all the participants to the 80th OCC meeting and appreciated MeECL for making necessary arrangement at a very short notice for hosting the meeting. He informed the house that OTPC had injected infirm power of 300MW continuously for about 4 Hours and subsequently generation was reduced to about 265MW, which was maintained for about 4 hours before taking shutdown of machine. Although the Unit 1 of OTPC had tripped during trial operation reducing generation to zero from 265MW, NERLDC had managed to run the grid smoothly without interruption of power supply. He appreciated the full co-operation of NERLDC and constituent states in helping OTPC for trial operation. He also informed that due to full support of PGCIL, NEEPCO, NHPC and state constituents, the independent third party audit of the protection system of NE Region is likely to be completed by end of February, 2013. He also stated that after the synchronization of Pallatana GBPP the NER grid has become more complex and hence all the constituents should cooperate with NERLDC for smooth operation of the system. He requested all the participants to actively participate in the discussion for fruitful outcome.

FOLLOW UP ACTION

C.1

Early revival of 3 numbers of 20 MVA Transformers at Kopili Assam observed that right from the time of the commissioning of 160 MVA Auto transformer of Power Grid at Kopili, the existing 3 numbers of 20 MVA, single phase transformers supplied by NEEPCO are not in working condition till today. Therefore, NEEPCO was requested to make necessary arrangement for revival of the above transformers for strengthening of the grid security at an early date. The NEEPCO representative had informed that the above said transformers were not charged since March, 2011. The committee had suggested NEEPCO to keep the 3X 20 MVA transformers in charged condition so that it could be connected to grid in case of outage of 160 MVA Autotransformer. During 75th OCC meeting, NEEPCO stated that after completion of Shutdown of Kopili-Khandong line, the transformers would be test charged after necessary oil filtration. During 76th OCC meeting, NEEPCO had informed that the oil filtration work would be completed within seven (7) days. Further, the Committee had requested POWERGRID to study parallel operation of the 3x20 MVA transformers with the existing Kopili ICT. NEEPCO informed that the 3x30 MVA Transformers was successfully charged from 220 kV side on 8th September, 2012.

During 77th OCC meeting, the Committee inquired from NEEPCO about the percentage impedance of both transformers. NEEPCO agreed to provide the information in the next OCC meeting.

The Committee agreed and requested POWERGRID to explore the possibility for utilizing these transformers as these are regional assets and cannot be kept idle. It was also decided that possibility will be explored for charging the ICT along with

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati 132 kV Kopili Khandong ckt-I in the event of shut down of 132 kV Kopili Khandong ckt-II.

During 78th OCC meeting, NEEPCO submitted the percentage impedance of 3x20 MVA transformers to the committee. The committee requested POWERGRID to compare the percentage impedance of 3x20 MVA transformers with the existing 160 MVA ICTs and explore the possibility of parallel operation of both the transformer banks. During 79th OCC meeting, POWERGRID had informed that they have compared the percentage impedance of 3x20 MVA transformers with the existing 160 MVA ICT and found it to be within permissible limit. The vector group of the banks was to be checked to explore the possibility of parallel operation of 3x20 MVA transformers with the existing Kopili ICT. The committee had requested POWERGRID and NEEPCO to make the necessary arrangement/tests required to check the possibility of parallel operation.

The representative of NEEPCO requested NERPC Secretariat to write to their management to explore the possibility of parallel operation after carrying out necessary tests in association with PGCIL. The committee agreed. The sub-Committee noted as above. C.2 Synchronization of Pallatana Module -I In the meeting on 24.07.12 OTPC had informed that U-I will be put on commercial operation in the last week of August, 2012. For this continuous running of the unit at full capacity (363 MW) will be required for 72 hrs. It was decided that the matter will be deliberated in next (76th) OCC meeting for finalizing quantum of backing down required at different stations in 132 kV pocket and acceptance of the utilities in this regard for finalization of modus operandi. During 76th OCC meeting, NERLDC presented the detail system study report for 72 hours continuous run Pallatana module-I. The detail study was carried out for two cases: Off-Peak (03:00 Hours) and Peak (20:00 Hours) based on evacuation of maximum power up to 350 MW and case study of tripping of Pallatana module.

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati From the report it was found that during off-peak hours Tripura, AGTPP and Loktak has to back down their generations. On telephonic discussion with OTPC during the OCC meeting, it was understood that Palatana unit-I would start trial run from mid August and about 30-40 MW will be injected to Grid as Infirm power. Thereafter, 72 hrs full load precommissioning test was expected to be done by mid September. About 363 MW continuous load would have to be injected to the NER grid during such test by reducing Tripura state generation, AGTPP and LOKTAK generation.

AGM, TSECL stated that beneficiary state would be required to overdraw power as their drawl scheduled will be reduced to the extent AGTPP and LOKTAK generation is backed down. In addition Tripura would have to maximize their drawal with backing down of own State generation. In view of above it was decided to have separate meeting to study the pre-commissioning test arrangement and

commercial impact of affected utility. Further, it was discussed that with the commissioning of Palatana project fault level of 132 KV pocket of NER would substantially go high. Existing protection system and impact of likely fault at various condition of Palatana operation would have to be studied at Transmission network and Generating stations connected at 132 KV pocket of both state and central sector. It was decided that PGCIL would conduct required study and report would be placed to next combined OCC and protection committee meeting. POWERGRID had agreed.

During 76th OCC meeting, the committee expressed concern about the nonrepresentation of OTPC in the OCC meeting and felt that this issue should be deliberated in the presence of OTPC representatives in the next OCC meeting.

During 77th OCC Meeting, DGM, OTPC informed that the gas turbine firing has started on 13.09.12 and the machine will be synchronized to the grid on 29th September, 2012 after passing through various stages of operation as per the manufacturers guidelines. After synchronization infirm power of about 40 MW (approximately) will be injected into the grid. Then machine will run on Full Speed No Load (FSNL) for seven (days). After that steam turbine rolling will start and the module I will come into operation w.e.f. 29.09.2012. Since there is no bypass arrangement in the modules, the machine cannot run under open cycle mode. In 6

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati initial phase, the complete module will generate around 150-160 MW and slowly generation will ramp upto 363 MW, and ultimately machine has to run continuously under full load for 72 hours to declare COD. During 77th OCC meeting, NERLDC gave the detail presentation for evacuation of maximum power from Pallatana taking into account the surge impedance loading of the line as limitation, as advised by NLDC after grid disturbance. The detail study was carried out for following scenarios: 1. Evacuation of Maximum power from Pallatana during 0300 Hrs without backing down of other generation 2. Evacuation of 360 MW (Ex-PP) from Pallatana during 0300 Hrs with backing down of other generation 3. Case study on Reduction of generation of Pallatana from 360 MW during 0300 Hrs 4. Case study on tripping of 360 MW (ex-PP) generation at Pallatana GBPP during 0300 Hrs 5. Evacuation of Maximum power from Pallatana during Peak Hrs without backing down of other generation 6. Evacuation of 360 MW (Ex-PP) from Pallatana during Peak Hrs with backing down of other generation 7. Case study on Reduction of generation of Pallatana from 360 MW during PEAK hours 8. Case study on Tripping of Palatana GBPP during Peak Hrs from an initial generation of 360 MW) During the presentation by NERLDC, it was observed that in absence of 400kV Silchar-Byrnihat line, tripping of machine at Palatana under full load condition (i.e.363MW), during peak and off peak hours, will have adverse impact on the NER system leading to overloading of number of lines and ICT at Misa. Further, NERLDC requested Assam and Meghalaya that 132 kV Panchgram-Lumshnong line should be ready before the synchronization of the Pallatana Machine on 29/09/12. Assam informed that 90% of Assam portion is ready and the rest will be completed very soon. MeECL informed that they would communicate the actual progress after getting information from the site. 7

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati

AGM, TSECL informed that during trial operation NERLDC should check whether the 132 kV NER system can sustain generation of 200 MW and more. Further, he suggested that the machine may be synchronized with grid and during the operation close co-ordination with NERLDC is required and there should be proper Load-Generation Stabilization.

Assam emphasized that the NER system cannot sustain generation of 363 MW from Palatana without commissioning of 400 kV Silchar-Byrnihat line. So, we have to wait for commissioning of this line and we should go step by step for synchronization with the grid with full generation of 363MW. However, OTPC can generate 200 MW as decided in previous meetings till 400kV Silchar-Byrnihat line is ready. POWERGRID informed that the commissioning schedule of 400 kV Silchar Byrnihat is January, 2013.

CEA representative stated that at present NER system is not strong enough to take the full generation of OTPC and as per CEA guidelines commercial operation of machine can be declared only after 72 hours of continuous generation under full load condition. So, OTPC should wait till the commissioning of 400kV SilcharByrnihat line. The injected power will be infirm power, if COD is not granted.

After detailed deliberation the Committee agreed to allow for synchronization of Pallatana Machine with ex-bus generation of 200 MW due to system constraint. After stabilization of machine and proper synchronization with the grid, full loading upto 360 MW would be considered.

But the representative of OTPC informed that as a technical requirement for trail run, the machine needs to go upto full load of 363MW and COD cannot be declared without continuous operation under full load for 72 hours.

During 77th OCC meeting, taking into account the prevailing situation and requirement of additional power in coming Durga Puja, the Committee ultimately agreed with OTPCs proposal to go for synchronization process and continuous

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati operation under full load for 72 hours required for declaration of COD subject to OPTC provide their detail action plan to NERLDC well in advance so that necessary planning for backing down of generation and change in drawl schedule of constituents can be finalized by NERLDC before hand as the existing transmission system is not healthy to absorb any abnormality due to tripping of Palatana generating Unit, while running under full load (363MW). During 78th OCC meeting, NERLDC made a presentation highlighting various provisions in CERC / CEA Regulations and summarized the non-compliances pertaining to synchronization of Generating unit at Palatana. The following noncompliances were observed during discussion: 1. Required clearance/ approval from Regional Inspectorate of CEA was not available as per requirement CEAs safety regulations. 2. Application for seeking connection to ISTS and connection offer letter not made available to RLDC/RPC along with tripartite agreement. 3. One month advance notice of likely date of synchronization, likely quantum and period of injection of infirm power as per 6.3 of connectivity procedures not complied with. 4. Treatment of merchant quantum not furnished which will be needed for full load operation. 5. Data and communication facilities with NERLDC for transfer of real time operational data (such as voltage, frequency, real & reactive power flow, energy, status of CB, isolators and transformer taps etc.) are yet to be established. 6. SPS / islanding scheme yet to be in place.

All the above six non-compliances were discussed in detail.

Point 1: OTPC informed that clearance from RIO will be ensured before synchronization to Grid. Point 2: OTPC informed that the said documents will be sent to NERLDC/NERPC at the earliest. Point 3: OTPC representative stated that schedule of commissioning was being discussed in various forums for quite some time and based on this clause,

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati unit commissioning should not be delayed if everything else is ready. NERPC stated that considering request of OTPC, discussion in various forums would be treated as advance notice and OTPC would be allowed to go ahead if other stipulations are met. Point 4: OTPC agreed to furnish details about treatment of merchant quantum and submit PPA, if any. Point 5: Powergrid informed that the concerned person is already at Palatana site. OTPC informed that concerned personnel would be available at site by 11th or 12th Sept12. Then OTPC would carry out data integration and coordinate with CTU to sort out the problem so that data and communication facility is established with NERLDC. MS, NERPC clarified that unit should be synchronized only after data/voice communication is established with NERLDC. OTPC agreed to co-ordinate with POWERGID and NERLDC to resolve the problem.

Point 6: NERLDC emphasized that considering existing transmission network, evacuation beyond tentatively 200 MW during Peak and 150 MW during Off-Peak period from Pallatana Generation would make the grid insecure. Evacuation beyond this level through weak 132 KV transmission network would cause grid disturbance in the event of tripping of any single element in South Assam, Mizoram, Tripura zone. Tripping of Generating unit at Pallatana also would cause overloading/tripping of lines / ICT thereby causing grid disturbance.

OTPC representative stated that they have submitted tentative programme to NERPC and would require a load upto 350 MW (ex-PP) for declaration of commercial operation. He requested the constituents to allow the same to OTPC.

MS, NERPC felt that it would be desirable to wait till commissioning of 400kV substation at Byrnihat and 400kV Silchar-Byrnihat line to allow injection of 350 MW from Pallatana Generation. He proposed that till that time, OTPC may restrict generation within the level stipulated by NERLDC as infirm generation is allowed upto six months as per CERC.

10

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati OTPC representative did not agree to go for testing / synchronization process with limited generation of 200 MW as DLN tuning requires minimum 300 MW continuously for ten (10) hours and 350 MW for two (2) days. Further, OTPC informed that unless the machine is run with full load, its technical capability including emission level cannot be ensured and it is not advisable to accept machine from the supplier/manufacturer. OTPC also desired continuous running of machine for 72 hours under full load to avail the COD. ASEB representative stated that Palatana should be allowed to synchronize their machine with the grid and load may be allowed considering system condition. Tripura representative stated that there should be firm schedule from OTPC so that all constituents can take necessary action.

NERLDC representative re-emphasised that any generation beyond 200/150 MW, even after stabilization, would involve serious compromise on grid security in the absence of SPS/islanding scheme which are yet to be in place. Moreover, injection to grid beyond this level would require backing down of own generation by Tripura, Mizoram, NEEPCO (from AGTPP) and NHPC (from Loktak) and tripping of unit under full load could cause severe grid disturbance.

Tripura and Assam agreed to back down their generation and allow OTPC to inject power to the maximum extent possible without endangering the grid although it will have commercial implication/burden on the constituents. NEEPCO and NHPC stated that for backing down of their units they require in advance schedule and quantum. NEEPCO stressed that their injection to the grid from AGTPP should be steady. Constituents insisted for detailed schedule of injection to the grid in advance so that NERLDC can plan accordingly. OTPC stated that they would submit hourly schedule of injection at least two days in advance to NERLDC. After detailed deliberation in the 78th OCC meeting the following were decided:

i)

OTPC would be allowed to synchronize their machine only after compliance of the stipulations in Point Nos. 1, 2, 4 and 5 above.

ii) NERPC Secretariat would be informed about the compliance status of the above four points by NERLDC. 11

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati iii) OTPC would submit proposed hourly schedule of infirm power to NERLDC with a copy to NERPC Secretariat at least two days in advance. iv) NERLDC would issue final clearance to OTPC in consultation with NERPC Secretariat considering real time grid conditions. v) OTPC would strictly adhere to NERLDC instruction in real time and regulate generation accordingly. vi) There should not be any variation in injection of power by OTPC during Durga puja (period 20/10/12 to 25/10/12) and steady generation would be maintained as advised by NERLDC. vii) The sub-committee agreed to allow OTPC to inject power to the maximum extent possible without endangering the grid. viii) Commercial implications associated with Pallatana generation would be would be in line with CERC Regulations and decision of RPC forum. During 79th OCC meeting, AGM, NERLDC informed that OTPC had synchronized their machine and generated around 30 MW during Durga Puja which was of great help to NER grid during puja. During 79th OCC meeting, GM, OTPC had informed that to ensure capability of plant and various equipment, auxiliaries & ancillaries associated with Block-1 / Unit-1 of Pallatana Generating station, trial operation is required with increase of loads in steps as per schedule and after unit stabilization run, machine needs to be run at full / base load and the continuous run of unit for minimum period of 72 hours is required for declaration of COD. SE(Com) informed that for declaration of COD, the running of machine continuously for 72 Hrs is not a mandatory requirement. But as per PPA of OTPC with the constituent states of NER, each block/unit is to operate seventy two (72) consecutive hours at or above 95% of the contracted capacity. OTPC had informed that after running of Block-1

continuously for 72hrs. at full / base load, the machine could be run at reduced load for fifteen (15) days. The running of Unit at full / base load is required to demonstrate gross generation, heat rate, auxiliary consumption, and NOX level including capability & reliability of various equipment, auxiliaries, ancillaries and associated control and protection system.

AGM, NERLDC stated that all tests required for commissioning of Pallatana U#1 will be facilitated by NERLDC as agreed in previous OCC meetings but the 12

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati commercial issues with the stake holders i.e. NEEPCO/NHPC/Tripura have to be settled by OTPC.

POWERGRID informed that 400 kV Silchar- Pallatana-II tripped number of times on 07/11/12 on overvoltage due to some problem at OTPC end, the same needs to be checked.

OTPC informed that the investigation is going on and it will be rectified soon.

NERLDC also informed that as per the previous decision in OCC meeting all constituents had agreed for 72 hours of continuous run of Palltana U#1 at full load (i.e. 300 MW). For evacuation of full generation of Pallatana U#1, Tripura, Assam, NEEPCo and NHPC have to back down their generation. Therefore, if OTPC requires continuous load more than 72 hours (3 days), all constituents should agree for such transaction and the commercial issues also needs to be resolved beforehand.

NERPC had given a presentation on the commercial implication of backing down of generation by NHPC, NEEPCO, Tripura, and Mizoram due to injection of generation by Unit-1 of Pallatana taking into account the previous load flow study on case to case basis. Assam stated that backing down of generation may be allowed, but frequent ramping up/down of generation is not desirable as it may lead to cascading effect resulting in a grid disturbance. Further they stated that the generation status at Pallatana should be integrated with the SCADA system of all SLDCs. Tripura also stated that the commercial implication should be settled beforehand. NEEPCO also informed that for running of Unit-1 for more than 72 hours, prior approval from their management would be required. NEEPCO requested for steady injection of power for the whole day to manage their gas supply. OTPC informed that it is difficult to maintain steady injection of power to the grid during trial operation. OTPC informed that since all constituents are not agreeing for full load generation for 15 days, reduced generation of 250-280MW may be allowed after continuous run of Unit-1 for 72 hrs. at full / base load. 13

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati During discussion POWERGRID was requested to inform the committee about the present status of 400kV Silchar Byrnihat line and the 400kV substation at Byrnihat. Committee requested for commissioning of line and substation by the end of November 2012. But POWERGRID informed that it is difficult to commission the GIS substation before December 2012. In the 79th OCC meeting, after detailed deliberation the committee reiterated its earlier decision to allow continuous run of the Unit-1 for 72 hours at full load. Further OTPC should furnish its schedule at least 48Hrs beforehand to enable all the stake holders to carry out proper planning. However, the commercial matter regarding running of Unit-1 beyond 72 hours at full / reduced load needs to be discussed in commercial committee and NERPC meeting to settle the commercial implications.

Deliberation of the committee Committee requested POWERGRID to inform the house about the status of 400kV Silchar Byrnihat line and the 400kV substation at Byrnihat. POWERGRID informed the committee that the stringing work of 400kV Silchar Byrnihat line is under progress and is likely to be completed by January, 2013. Regarding 400kV GIS substation at Byrnihat it was informed that Reactor oil filteration is in progress and one transformer has also reached the site. The pre-commissioning tests will be completed as early as possible. The commissioning of 400kV GIS cannot be completed before January, 2013 although most of the erection commissioning activities on 220kV side will be completed by December, 2012.

GM (Plant), OTPC informed that synchronization of Unit -1 would be done again on 14.12.12 for further tests and COD and submitted the schedule to NERLDC. The committee deliberated the generation schedule of OTPC Pallatana w.e.f. 14.12.12 and after detail discussion it was decided that:

i)

On 14.12.12 OTPC should synchronize Unit-1 before Peak Hours (i.e. 17:00 Hrs) and the generation should be in the range of 50 to 80 MW so that it will help NER grid during Peak hours and moreover, start-up power should be drawn from the Grid during off-peak hours, which will help the TSECL system. Afterwards the load may be increased gradually.

14

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati ii) On 15.12.12 OTPC should plan to generate about 300 MW (for 2 hours) during Peak hours so that such quantum of generation can be easily accommodated. iii) From 15.12.12 to 24.12.12 OTPC should generate around 230 to 250 MW continuously. However, the generation needs to be rescheduled, if required, depending on real time grid conditions and as per the advice of NERLDC. iv) If OTPCs generation would be found to be stable, then generation of 230 to 250 MW can be continued further till 02.01.2013 to support the grid during Christmas and New Year eve. v) From 03.01.2013 onwards, OTPC may plan for generation of 363 MW (full load/base load) continuously for 72 hours in consultation with NERLDC.

The Sub-committee noted as above. C.3 SPS scheme for Pallatana It was observed from load flow studies carried out by NERLDC that tripping of Pallatana unit during peak hours would cause loading of Kopili ICT (160 MVA). To save the situation shedding of around 100 MW of load would be required in the 132 KV pocket through SPS.

During 76th OCC meeting, DGM, NERLDC had informed that a special protection scheme is required to be planned for shedding the above load. The committee advised NERPC Secretariat to design the SPS in consultation with NERLDC, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, NEEPCO, NHPC and OTPC.

POWERGRID representatives had informed that not only SPS but protection schemes are also required to be reviewed before commissioning of Pallatana GBPP. From the load flow study it was observed that in certain lines there will be reverse flow of power due to tripping of Pallatana.

The committee had requested POWERGRID to study the protection schemes and prepare a report. The same will be discussed in the next OCC meeting.

During 77th OCC meeting, DGM, NERLDC stated that in case of tripping of Pallatana unit, around 120 MW load shedding through SPS would be required in

15

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati Mizoram, Tripura and South Assam (each 40 MW) and some load shedding would be required in Meghalaya. POWERGRID informed that the implementation of SPS for tripping of far off lines/loads will be difficult as there will be co-ordination problem because of non-availability of communication links and NERLDC should find some other nearby lines or SPS can be linked with Kopili ICT. NERLDC informed that they have identified the list of radial lines in NER system for disconnecting during emergency conditions to save the grid. They pointed out that the SPS can be implemented on those lines which are available in 132 kV Pocket. All the constituents agreed for implementation of SPS on these lines and also for emergency disconnection of listed lines in case of necessity. The committee felt that the SPS scheme is required to be in place at least before the synchronization of Pallatana unit. After detailed deliberation committee requested NERLDC to prepare the SPS scheme of Pallatana in consultation with NERPC and POWERGRID. During 79th OCC meeting, NERLDC informed that lines have been identified in NER system for disconnection during emergency conditions to save the grid. SPS can be planned accordingly. The committee requested NERLDC to give the list of lines associated with tripping of Unit-1 at Pallatana and POWERGRID was requested to plan the implementation of the SPS scheme. The committee felt that NERPC, NERLDC and POWERGRID may discuss the matter and plan accordingly for implementation of SPS scheme.

Implementation of islanding scheme in NER For survival of different parts/pockets (with identified generation along with some load) of NER grid in the event of grid disturbance, islanding schemes are required to be planned properly & implemented.

DGM, NERLDC stated that some islanding schemes need to be planned so that the islands survive during any grid disturbance so that start-up power can be extended to other generating stations. 16

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati

During 77th OCC meeting, the islanding scheme for NER was discussed in detail for separating of NER system from NEW grid and forming of islands in NER. Two proposals for islanding scheme were discussed.

In both proposals, first step is isolation of NER from NEW Grid at a particular frequency by tripping of 400kV D/C line and 220kV D/C line connecting ER and NER. In one case it has been proposed for formation of two Sustainable Small System (SSS) and then Unit islanding and ultimately Safe shutdown of Generating units when frequency falls to different levels. The frequency level at which actions are to be initiated is to be finalized after discussion.

The Committee requested all the constituents to study the islanding schemes and communicate their comments/suggestions at the earliest so that the islanding scheme for NER can be finalized.

Further, DGM, NERLDC informed that the list of radial lines in NER system, which can be tripped during emergency to save the grid, have been identified. During emergency there may not be time to co-ordinate with SLDC (like written message etc.) before taking such action. However, formal communication shall be made by NERLDC afterwards.

During 79th OCC meeting, the committee felt that further study is required before finalizing the islanding scheme for NER. The committee requested all the NER constituents to study their systems and give suggestions/comments, if any before finalization of the same. All constituents agreed.

MS I/C stated that the frequency level at which actions are to be initiated, location of UFR & df/dt relays and communication link required etc. needs to be studied for implementation of islanding scheme. The committee suggested that NERPC, NERLDC and POWERGRID may discuss and plan accordingly for implementation.

regulation and some formats, with typical example (which can be downloaded from NERPC website), to help in collecting various information. No. of groups need to be formed to carry out the protection audit. The action plan needs to be discussed so that the work can be completed as early as possible.

However, the self-certification (by STUs / CTU) in respect of operationalisation of Under Frequency Relay (UFR) and df/dt relay based automatic load shedding may please be submitted in the prescribed format to NERPC and CEA at the earliest.

During 79th OCC meeting, SE (Comml), NERPC informed that as recommended by Enquiry Committee, the third party independent audit for the Protection systems in NER is to be completed as early as possible and presently Ministry of Power and CEA are also monitoring the progress in various regions it very closely. Therefore, for the benefit of the NER, the upgradation of protection system is very much required for smooth and reliable operation of grid and action should be initiated at the earliest. Further, he informed that third party independent audit of Protection systems for Northern region has already been completed by PGCIL in association with CPRI and other regions have also started their action plan. He informed that in NER there are about 135 Nos. of substations/ generating stations of 132kV and above voltage class and also proposed to carryout protection audit for all these substations / generating stations as 132kV system forms the backbone of NER unlike other regions. Since arrangement of funds is the major constraint in NE region, small groups /teams have to be formed taking representation from NER constituents. The committee decided to form teams comprising of four (4) members from different state utilities/owner, PGCIL/NEEPCO/NHPC and NERPC/NERLDC. 18

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati NERPC will co-ordinate the audit and prepare the further course of action in consultation with NERLDC and POWERGRID. The nominated member of

NERPC/NERLDC will be the co-ordinator of each group. Further, NERPC, in consultation with POWERGRID and NERLDC, had prepared the detailed plan for carrying out the audit of protection system of all 132 kV and above voltage class substations/generating stations in NER. NERPC vide letter dated 26th November, 2012 and 30th November, 2012 had requested PGCIL and other constituents to provide logistic support inform of road transport and stay at various places in NER. Member Secretary I/C, NERPC informed that ED, POWERGRID has agreed to provide required support for carrying out the audit of protection system. He also informed that the protection audit for Tripura is likely to be completed before Christmas and from second week of January, 2013, other teams will proceed for the audit and entire audit is likely to be completed by February, 2013. Further, he requested all the constituents to nominate their representatives for the audit. Assam submitted their nominations for audit team. Other constituents agreed to nominate their persons for audit team. After detail deliberation all the constituents agreed to the proposed dates and to extend their supports to complete the audit in time bound manner. The Sub-committee noted as above.

KHEP, NEEPCO

The Committee noted as above. D.4 Agenda by TSECL NEEPCO requested TSECL to provide construction power up to 900 KVA for combine cycle plant. Accordingly NEEPCO created arrangement by putting 1 No, 6.6/0.4 KV step-down Transformer in their plant. The transformer is charged from station auxiliary transformer of rating 5 MVA, 132 KV/ 6.6 KV. Therefore, it is necessary to work out the modalities for metering & billing of quantum of power selling to NEEPCO by TSECL. The committee requested TSECL to do the necessary arrangement of metering and billing for supply of construction power to NEEPCO. TSECL and NEEPCO agreed to resolve the matter bilaterally. The Committee noted as above. D.5 Agenda by POWERGRID

1) High Tripping rate & Long Duration Outage of dedicated 11KV Feeder for Auxiliary Power Supply to 132KV Badarpur Substation The 11 KV HT dedicated feeder emanating from Panchgram Lower Substation (AEGCL) & connected to 132KV POWERGRID Badarpur Substation was constructed by ASEB (as a deposit work) for catering to the Auxiliary Power/station load requirement of 132KV Badarpur Substation. 22

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati However, service of the said feeder has been found to be considerably unreliable. On an average, the feeder has been found to trip 10-15 times a day with cumulative outage hours up to 5hrs per day. The matter has been taken up & repeatedly pursued with ASEB (CAEDCL) on a number of occasions but there has been no improvement in reliability of the feeder. The 132KV Badarpur Substation is a vital node for catering to the power requirement of the 132KV pocket & is connected to major substations viz. 400KV Silchar Substation & 132KV Panchgram Substation (AEGCL) in addition to 3 other key substations. Further, the station is playing a significant role for evacuation of power from Pallatana GBPP to the rest of the 132KV pocket. Hence uninterrupted auxiliary power supply to the station is of utmost requirement for maintaining a healthy Protection & Communication System at the station. ASEB (CAEDCL) may kindly treat the above-said issue with priority & take necessary action for ensuring uninterrupted power supply through the 11 kV dedicated feeder connected to POWERGRID Badarpur Substation.

Assam representatives informed that there is some temporary tapping from the 11 kV feeder connected to POWERGRID and necessary action will be taken to resolve the issue at the earliest. The Sub-committee noted as above.

2) Loadability Enhancement of 132KV Transmission lines NERLDC has requested POWERGRID, vide their letter No.NERLDC/GM/547 dtd 14.11.2012 for enhancement of loading capacity of the following lines: a) 132KV S/c Badarpur-Khliehriat Line b) 132KV S/c Loktak-Jiribam-II Line c) 132KV S/c Dimapur-Imphal Line

d) 132KV S/c Imphal-Loktak-II Line NERLDC has stated that enhancement of loading capacity of the above lines is required for higher load dispatch, particularly in the context of evacuation of power from Pallatana GBPP.

23

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati Accordingly, POWERGRID has already taken the following actions for increased loadability:

Upgradation of existing CTs

Upgradation of the terminal CTs of 132KV S/C Loktak-Jiribam_II line, 132KV S/c Dimapur-Imphal line is being taken up by POWERGRID for which the required number of CTs of higher capacity (600/1) had already been ordered by POWERGRID & subsequently dispatched from the manufacturer premises in the month of July-12. However, 10Nos. CTs were damaged during transit. The matter has been taken up with the concerned manufacturer for replenishment of the damaged CTs. The new CTs expected to arrive at site by January13.

Installation of the same shall be carried out on arrival of the new CTs. As for 132KV Badarpur-Khliehriat line, the terminal CTs installed are of 600/1 capacity.

Further, NERLDC requested to include following lines for enhancement of loading capacity: i) ii) 132 kV Khandong- Khlerehiet I 132 kV Khandong - Haflong

The committee requested POWERGRID to complete the CT replacement of the above lines at the earliest to increase the loadability of these lines.

Fixing of Additional Jumpers:

Fixing of additional jumpers at Tension Locations of 132KV Dimapur-Imphal line has been completed while that for 132KV Jiribam-Loktak_II line is planned for execution in the month of January-13.

In addition to the above, additional jumpering is now planned to be taken up for 132KV Loktak-Imphal-II & Badarpur-Khliehriat lines in line with NERLDCs observation.

24

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati The required Special Connectors/Clamps for the purpose are under procurement by POWERGRID. A tentative schedule for execution of Additional Jumpering Works in the subject lines is appended below:

The Sub-committee noted as above. D.10 Estimated Transmission Availability Certificate (TAC) for the month of November, 2012. The Estimated Transmission/System Availability for the month of October, 2012 furnished by PGCIL is 99.9214% as per details at Annexure D.10. NER constituents were requested to give their comments and observations, if any, by 30th December, 2012 so that Final TAC for the month of November, 2012 can be issued. The sub-Committee noted as above. D.11 Major grid disturbances in the previous month (November, 2012 ) As intimated by NERLDC, there was no major grid disturbance during the month of November, 2012. The sub-Committee noted as above.

D.12 Additional Agenda 1) Frequent tripping of AGBPP Gas Compressors: AGBPP Gas Compressors tripped frequently last one week details attached at Annexure D.12.1. These tripping cause serious security problem in NER grid during this lean hydro period.

NEEPCO representative informed that there was some problem in compressors and the same has been rectified. The sub-Committee noted as above.

2) Over drawal by Constituents: Due to over drawal by the constituents during peak hours and morning hours many times inter regional import ATC/TTC violation are observed. This is matter of serious concern for safe, secure and reliable operation of grid.

27

Minutes of 80th OCC meeting held on 10 th December, 2012 at Guwahati NERLDC informed that last month some of the constituents has overdrawn from the grid and the ATC limit has been violated. Because of violation the NER grid was in danger and it is un-reliable. The committee requested all the constituents to maintain their drawl as per the schedule given by NERLDC to maintain the grid security.

All constituents agreed.

3) UFR Setting: As per IEGC 2010 (second amendment): New frequency band is effective from 17.09.2012 (49.7 to 50.2 Hz). In view of this UFR setting may be reviewed. In view of tightened of frequency band by CERC to 49.7 to 50.2, the frequency settings and load relief is required to be reviewed. Committee may like to discuss.

4) Accurate Demand estimation by constituents: Constitunets are requested to estimate their daily demand accurately for proper generation planning and safe secure operation of grid.

The Committee requested all the constituents to estimate their demand as per their requirement and if necessary, they can go for STOA.

5) Absorption of VAR by Generating stations: During high voltage condition generating stations are requested to absorb VAR for controlling the Bus voltage of their station.

On enquiry, NEEPCO representatives informed that in general their machines dont operate to absorb VAR. However, their machines are capable of absorbing VAR to control the voltage.

The Committee requested all the generators to utilize the capability of machines for absorption of VAR as and when required within their capability curve for controlling the voltage.

8) With reference to 78th OCC meeting minutes, it was decided that OTPC will give their generation schedule to NERLDC with a copy to NERPC two day in advance, but from above sequence of events it seems OTPC had never given two days advance intimation to NERLDC. However, NERLDC always agreed to their generation schedule and allowed then to generate as per their requirement with the kind cooperation of the constituents. In this connection message dt 01.12.2012 TSECL requested for 72 Hours advance intimation before synchronization of OTPC units along with schedule for maximization of generation, so that they can tie up with ONGC/GAIL for regulation of their gas supply as per requirement of generation backing down for accommodating Palatana generation. This was discussed under Item No. C.3.

D.13 Date & Venue of next OCC meeting It is proposed to hold the 81st OCC meeting of NERPC on 10th January, 2012 (Thursday). As per roster, Mizoram is the host for 81st OCC meeting. The exact date and venue will be intimated accordingly.

The meeting ended with thanks to the Chair.
