FOLLOW UP ACTION
C.1 Synchronization of Pallatana Module -I
During 86th OCC meeting, the representative of OTPC informed that the machine
was desynchronized due to problem of gas contamination and problem associated
with valve operation at ONGC end. The matter has been taken up with ONGC for
smooth operation of the unit. The machine is expected to be re-synchronized on 8th
June, 2013.
NERLDC requested OTPC to communicate their generation schedule 2-3 days in
advance so that the necessary co-ordination can be done with constituents of the
region for smooth operation of grid.
The committee requested OTPC to submit the detail list of all tests and
commissioning activities which have been completed by 25th May, 2013. Further,
the tests which are required to be done before commissioning may also be informed
with details to NERPC and NERLDC.
OTPC informed that on 15th May, 2013 DLN tuning was completed and only PPA
test is left out for which OTPC required 3 days continuous run under full load (350
MW and above). Before PPA test, OTPC would like to run the Unit continuously for
two (2) days under full load to ensure stable operation of machine.
Me.ECL informed that their Hydro machines have started their generation and in
any case their generation should not be backed down for trail operation of Unit# 1
of OTPC.
Tripura stated that during the test run of Unit# 1 of OTPC, their generation should
not be backed down as one unit of Baramura is already under shutdown.
POWERGRID informed that the commissioning schedule of 400 kV Byrnihat-
Bongaigan is December, 2013.
MS I/C enquired about frequent tripping of reactor at Palatana end. The
representative of OTPC informed that the problem has been resolved by BHEL.

OTPC – Sh. Tapas Karmakar, Asstt. Manager
NERPC – Sh. Lalrinsanga, EE & Sh. S.M. Jha, EE
IIT, Guwahati - nomination will be taken up by NERPC Secretariat.
During 84th OCC meeting, NERLDC gave the presentation on system studies
associated with System Protection Scheme (SPS) under following conditions:
Case 1: Tripping of generating unit of OTPC at Palatana
Case 2: Tripping of 400 kV D/C Palatana-Silchar line
Case 3: Tripping of 400 kV Silchar-Byrnihat line,
NERLDC informed that the study was carried out by taking the base case of NER
peak and off-peak conditions in July, 2013.
During off-peak hours, the above trippings may not create serious problem. But
during peak hours, above trippings may lead to grid disturbance.
As pre-condition, for successful operation of the proposed System Protection
Scheme (SPS), the following lines should be kept in open condition for all the three
cases mentioned above
132 kV D/C Khliehriat(PG) – Khliehriat(MeECL) lines at Khliehriat(MeECL)
132 kV Khliehriat(MeECL) – NEHU line
132 kV Khliehriat(MeECL) – NEIGRIHMS line
132 kV Pailapool – Jiribam line at Jiribam end
The scheme for all the three cases will be as follows:
Case 1: When Palatana unit trips:
i. When generator at Palatana trips a signal will be generated from trip relay of
the unit.
ii. This signal should trip the CB of 132 kV Silchar – Srikona D/C & 132 kV
Silchar – Panchgram lines at Silchar.
iii. Subsequent to tripping of 132 kV Silchar – Panchgram line, the CB at
Badarpur of 132 kV Badarpur – Panchgram line should be tripped.
Minutes of 87th OCC meeting held on 9th July, 2013 at Guwahati
13
iv. After these trippings an instant load of 80 MW will be relieved during off-
peak hours & 130 MW will be relieved during peak hours which will prevent
the system from cascade tripping
v. Then manual demand disconnection/management should be imposed.
Case 2: When 400 kV Palatana-Silcher (D/C) lines trip
i. When both the ckts of 400 kV Palatana – Silchar lines trips, a signal will be
generated from trip relays at Silchar
ii. This signal should trip the CBs at Silchar end of 132 kV Silchar – Srikona
D/C & 132 kV Silchar – Panchgram lines.
iii. Subsequent to tripping of 132 kV Silchar – Panchgram line, the CB at
Badarpur end of 132 kV Badarpur – Panchgram line should be tripped.
iv. After these trippings an instant load of 80 MW will be relieved during off-peak
hours & 130 MW will be relieved during peak hours which will prevent the
system from cascade tripping
v. Then manual demand disconnection/management should be imposed.
Case 3: 400 kV Silchar – Byrnihat line
i. When 400 kV Byrnihat – Silchar lines trip, signal will be generated from trip
relays at Silchar
ii. This signal should trip CB of GTG/STG of Generating Unit at Palatana. But
unit may run in Full Speed No Load (FSNL) condition.
iii. An instant relief of load of 230/130 MW will prevent the system from cascade
tripping.
v. Then manual demand disconnection/management should be imposed.
The committee deliberated in details about trippings under above three conditions
and requested POWERGRID to check the feasibility for implementation of the
above schemes. Further, the committee requested all constituents to go through
the schemes and give their suggestions/comments before finalization of the
schemes.
MS I/C, NERPC informed that the SPS should be in place before trial operation of
Unit #1 of OTPC for safe operation of the grid and requested POWERGRID & OTPC
Minutes of 87th OCC meeting held on 9th July, 2013 at Guwahati

to take early necessary action for designing the scheme including inter-tripping
arrangement for successful implementation of the proposed SPS scheme. All
constituents agreed to give their comments in the next OCC/PCC meeting to
finalize the SPS.
During the 86th OCC meeting, the representative of OTPC informed that necessary
action has already been taken at their end for successful implementation of the
proposed SPS pertaining to tripping of generating Unit#1 (Case-I). The auxiliary
contact of CB has been wired upto PLCC panel in consultation with POWERGRID.
DGM, NERLDC stated that the backing down of generation manually will not solve
the problem the scheme should operate automatically.
EE(O), NERPC informed that the SPS scheme for Case 2 may be reviewed as it may
require backing down of generation /tripping of GT/STG of Unit #1 of OTPC.
OTPC requested the forum that the SPS pertaining to other two cases [Case-II &
Case-III], requiring automatic tripping of STG/GT of generating Unit#1, needs
further discussion. The tripping of STG may lead to reduction of generation to a
very low level. Hence detail discussion is required with BHEL, POWERGRID,
NERLDC and NERPC before implementation of the SPS for Case II &III.
Meghalaya stated that Leshka HEP has started full generation and since so many
Meghalaya lines are kept in open condition for implementation of SPS, NERLDC
need to ensure the evacuation of full generation of power of Leshka HEP.
After detailed deliberation, the committee suggested that the system study group
need to study the proposal in detail, particularly SPS pertaining to Case-II & III
and prepare action plan for implementation of SPS.
Deliberation of the Committee
During 87th OCC meeting, OTPC informed that the proposed SPS pertaining to
tripping of generating Unit#1 (Case-I) has already been implemented successfully
in consultation with POWERGRID. However, discussion is required with BHEL,
POWERGRID, NERLDC and NERPC before implementation of the SPS for Case II &
III.
Minutes of 87th OCC meeting held on 9th July, 2013 at Guwahati
15
The representative of OTPC requested for a meeting of representatives of above
organizations to resolve the matter at the earliest either at Palatana or at NERTS,
Shillong.
SE (O) enquired from OTPC about the likely date to have this discussion. OTPC
confirmed for 23rd July, 2013.
The Sub-committee decided that the issue shall be discussed and finalized on 23rd
July, 2013 at NERTS, Shillong and requested OTPC to attend the above meeting
along with representative of BHEL.
The Sub-committee noted as above.
C.6 Implementation of islanding scheme in NER
During the 85th OCC meeting, MS I/C, NERPC informed that during the NPC
meeting, held at CEA, New Delhi on 15th April, 2013, he had expressed the
difficulty in preparation of islanding schemes in NE Region because of very low
level of frequency (i.e. 47.9 Hz) proposed for islanding. POSOCO was requested by
NPC to extend necessary guidance / assistance to NERPC / NERLDC in
formulation of the suitable islanding scheme(s) in that region.
The islanding Scheme proposed by NERLDC was discussed.
The committee enquired about the frequency setting for tripping of the Gas based
generating Units covered under the proposed islanding schemes.
Assam representatives informed that the frequency setting for tripping of the Gas
based generating Units of NTPS is 48.72 Hz.
NEEPCO informed that the frequency setting for tripping of the Gas based
generating Units is generally much higher than proposed islanding frequency i.e.
47.9Hz. The frequencies at which generating Units of AGBPP are likely to trip are
47.5 Hz (for M/s Mitsuibisi make unit) and 48.0 Hz (for M/s BHEL make unit) and
that of AGTPP is 48.0 Hz. OTPC informed that frequency setting for tripping of the
Gas based generating Units of OTPC is 47.8 Hz (for M/s BHEL make Unit).
During the 86th OCC meeting, the committee had decided the following islanding
scheme and associated frequencies levels for creation of islands in NER:
Minutes of 87th OCC meeting held on 9th July, 2013 at Guwahati
16
Sl. No. Islanding Scheme Frequency
1. Island comprising of generating units of AGBPP, NTPS &
LTPS and loads of Upper Assam system & Deomali area
[Total Generation: 380-400MW and load: 200-300MW]
48.80 Hz
2. Island comprising of generating units of AGTPP,
generating units at Baramura, Rokhia & Gumati (Hydro)
and loads of Tripura system & Dullavcherra area [Total
Generation: 150-160MW and load: 110-150MW]
48.20 Hz
3. Isolation of NER from NEW grid at ER-NER boundary with
rest of the generation and load of NER
47.90 Hz
Further, the committee suggested for discussion with ER regarding isolation of NER
from NEW grid at ER-NER boundary. All constituents were requested to study the
proposal so that the matter can be discussed further for finalization.
Deliberation of the Committee
The islanding scheme 1 & 2 above was agreed by the committee. However, for 3rd
islanding scheme, committee requested NERLDC to go for system study before
finalization. When the NER grid is in import mode, isolation of NER from ER grid
may deteriorate the situation further in NER. But when the NER grid is in export
mode, isolation of NER from ER grid may be helpful. After isolation, NER may be in
a position to support ER for early restoration of their system. DGM, NERLDC
informed that depending on the power flow in NER-ER corridor, the islanding
scheme can be made functional accordingly.
The committee requested NERLDC to take initiative to involve the system study
Group to study the proposed islanding Scheme and SPS in detail. NERLDC agreed.
The Sub-committee noted as above.

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 January’13.
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.
During 80th OCC meeting, NERLDC requested to include following lines for
enhancement of loading capacity:
i) 132 kV Khandong- Khlerehiet –I
ii) 132 kV Khandong - Haflong
The committee requested POWERGRID to complete the CT replacement of the

Total Estimated cost (in Rs. Crores)
224.20 410.50 299.09 138.60 129.89 1202.30
The GSES was discussed in detail in last Special TCC held at Shillong on 9th
February, 2013. After detailed deliberation the following decisions of the TCC was
conveyed to CERC.
1. All constituents agreed in principle to the technical requirement of the GSES
scheme for NER grid.
2. The basic infrastructure at most of Sub-station like circuit breakers, protection
relays, etc. are not adequate for implementation of the scheme.
3. There are no full fledged SLDCs in Ar. Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram and
Nagaland.
4. Funding is major concern as NER states are financially weak.
5. The quantum of UFR based load shedding needs to be relooked for NER States.
6. More deliberation on technical and commercial issues is required before
formulation/implementation of the scheme.
Minutes of 87th OCC meeting held on 9th July, 2013 at Guwahati
21
All constituents had agreed in principle to the technical requirement of the GSES
scheme for NER grid, but more deliberation on technical and commercial
implication was required before formulation / implementation of the scheme.
During the 86th OCC meeting, MS I/C, NERPC informed that the detailed cost
break-up was mailed to all the constituent States of the region and requested all
State constituents to examine the details and communicate their
comments/feedback to PGCIL with a copy to NERPC so that the necessary action
can be taken by POWERGRID and matter can be discussed further in TCC meeting.
The representative of Assam informed that DPR for GSES, wherein the details of the
project cost, mode of finance, interest during construction, State wise details of the
OPGW lengthwise etc. have been covered, have been examined at their end. As per
DPR, the project is to be funded by internal resources and domestic funding. For
the project, Equity component of 30% has been proposed to be made available
through POWERGRID internal resources and loan component of 70% through
domestic funding and the interest rate has been considered as 10.5% per annum.
Such high interest rate will impose huge financial burden on the states of NER and
the States are already reeling under severe financial crunch. Implementation of this
project will only be feasible in NER, if fund is provided in the form of grant/ through
POC as is done in case of Transmission tariff. Regarding the OPGW length,
representative of Assam informed that this needs to be rechecked and it is also not
very clear, whether existing and new OPGW (under execution) have been excluded
or not.
The committee requested all State constituents to examine the details
corresponding to their states and communicate their comments/feedback to PGCIL
and NERPC so that the matter can be discussed further in TCC meeting.
Deliberation of the Committee
SE (O) informed that NERPC have mailed once again the break up details & cost of
OPGW as received from POWERGRID to all the constituents, but comments have
been received only from Assam & Tripura till date.
The committee requested all State constituents to go through the details pertaining
to GSES and communicate their comments/feedback to LDC Division PGCIL and
NERPC so that the matter can be discussed further in next TCC/RPC meeting.
The Sub-committee noted as above.

of India to approach DoNER / NEC for funding of above two schemes (a & b). The
matter was discussed in special TCC meeting held at Shillong on 9th February
2013. It was agreed that NERPC will approach Ministry of DoNER and NEC to
enquire about the status of funding.
NERPC has already taken up the matter with concerned authority of NEC &
DoNER. NEC has already informed that they are unable to consider funding of
above projects at this stage due to paucity of fund. Confirmation from DoNER is
still awaited.

Deliberation of the Committee
Member Secretary I/C informed that during the Special TCC meeting held in
Shillong, it was agreed that POWERGRID should go ahead with setting up new
SLDCs and implementation of Expansion/Upgradation of SCADA/EMS System at
NERLDC and SLDCs of North Eastern Region and investment shall be recovered as
per tariff determined by CERC. Now POWERGRID has intimated that order for
procurement of materials has already been placed.
The Sub-committee requested to take up the matter in the next TCC/RPC meetings.
The Sub-committee noted as above.
C.11 Preparation of Crisis Management Plan (CMP) for Cyber Security in Power Sector:
During the 86th OCC meeting, the committee requested NERPC Secretariat to
explore what type of cyber security is required for NER state constituents and also
requested other constituents to submit their details Crisis Management plan for
cyber security.
Meanwhile, CEA vide their letter dated 17.06.2013 has intimated that during the
meeting taken by Director (OM), Ministry of Power on 05.06.2013 had reviewed the
CMP in respect of power back-up arrangement (s) of Indian Railways as below:
“Railways have interacted with CEA and submitted their requirement with respect
to the Islanding Schemes being finalized for Northern Region and for other regions.
They further requested that the Railways requirement’s should also be considered
during finalization of Islanding Schemes of other regions for ensuring supply for
traction substation as well as important stations. Railways would provide all details
to respective RPCs/RLDCs so that the same can be considered during finalization of
islanding scheme of the concerned region. The operation of Railways is based on
Zones and is not demarcated in line with five electrical regions in the country.
Hence, for effective implementation of the islanding schemes, co-ordination between
two or more regions may be required”.
Minutes of 87th OCC meeting held on 9th July, 2013 at Guwahati
25
Railways requested for participation in OCC meetings of all Regional Power
Committee. Railways have already started attending the OCC meetings in Northern
Region. CEA have directed other RPCS to invite Railways in OCC meetings for
discussing the CMP.
Deliberation of the Committee
All the constituents in NER stated that at present no traction substations/lines of
Railways are in operation in NER and hence the inclusion of Railways as member of
OCC forum shall be reviewed in due course of time.
The sub-Committee noted as above.
C.12 Release of day ahead drawal schedule based on actual requisition by Constituents instead of open and full capacity requisition:
During the 86th OCC meeting, NERLDC informed that the requisition based
schedule will be implemented in NER very shortly. The tendering for procurement of
the software of requisition based scheduling is in progress.
The committee requested NERLDC to prepare the modalities for daily requisition
based scheduling and same may be discussed in next OCC meeting. Before final
implementation all NER constituents should be aware of the formalities of the
scheduling system. NERLDC had agreed for a mock exercise for requisition based
scheduling vis-à-vis present system of scheduling.
During 20th CC meeting, NERLDC in its presentation highlighted the following:
When ABT was implemented in NER in November, 2003, NER Constituents expressed inability to provide station-wise, time block-wise requisition for day ahead scheduling.
It was agreed to put in place a mechanism where requisition would be equal to entitlement so as to help the States.
Since then the States in NER have been submitting requisition stating that it is equal to entitlement.
The role of SLDCs in estimating their demand accurately and furnishing requisition
on day ahead basis was highlighted in 20th CC meeting. It was also mentioned that
SLDCs being apex body within State should start intra-State scheduling to obtain
such requisition from DISCOMs. The distribution companies will have to ensure
that requisition of power is done considering the most economical and reliable
power stations.
Minutes of 87th OCC meeting held on 9th July, 2013 at Guwahati
26
During the 20th CC meeting, NERLDC stated that States of NER should start
adopting requisition based scheduling and submit time block wise requisition. To
start with the system, station-wise requisition for 96 time blocks of a day has to be
filled up by each SLDC and mailed to NERLDC. There are nine (9) ISGS in NER.
States would have to fill-up 96x9 matrix with requisition of quantum of power for
every time block from all ISGS based on the entitlement conveyed by NERLDC. The
figures would have to be filled-up in excel sheet and mailed to NERLDC. It was also
mentioned that once the new system is introduced, the beneficiaries will have to
send requisition (in excel sheet) by e-mail only.
NERLDC representative stated that all seven states should start filling-up the time
block-wise requisition and mail to NERLDC. This would be first step of mock
exercise. Date and modality for such mock exercise can be discussed in next OCC
forum. Once States are geared up through mock exercise, it would be easy to use
web based scheduling software of RLDC, which is likely to be in place in 2-3
months for which tendering process is in progress.
On an enquiry from NEEPCO regarding technical minimum, ramp-up rate etc, it
was clarified that as per IEGC, RLDC would ensure that schedule would be
operationally implementable. For this purpose, Generators should intimate
NERLDC the technical minimum level, ramp-up rate, dead band etc of their
units/stations.
Tripura representative raised some issues like revision of schedule of ROR stations,
modality of real time revision of schedule etc. The committee decided to start with
mock exercise for requisition based scheduling and requested SLDCs to go ahead
with filling up 96x9 matrix with requisition of quantum of power for every time
block and in the process other issues will be addressed as and when such situation
is encountered.
Deliberation of the Committee
NERLDC gave a presentation on requisition based scheduling and highlighted the
difficulties likely to be encountered. During the presentation, the format in which
schedule for 96 time blocks should be submitted was explained and the importance
of minimum technical limit, ramp rate of machine, dead band of hydro machines
etc. were also explained to the constituents.
Minutes of 87th OCC meeting held on 9th July, 2013 at Guwahati
27
DGM, NERLDC requested all the constituents to submit the data in the prescribe
format so that mock exercise can be carried out.
After detail deliberation, for the benefit of constituents, the Sub-committee decided
to start the mock exercise w.e.f. 22.07.2013 and the status will be reviewed in the
next OCC meeting.
The sub-Committee noted as above.
C.13 Certification of Open Cycle Generation of AGBPP:
The matter is pending with CERC for final decision. The issue was discussed in
85th OCC to find out a suitable method of certifying open cycle operation of gas
based combined cycle power plants. The feasibility of scheduling in respect of each
module was also discussed and representative from NEEPCO had expressed that it
is not feasible to give schedule of generation in respect of each module. The
schedule of generation for entire plant can only be given as the gas allocation is
being done on the basis of Installed Capacity (not on module basis).
During the hearing of petition of NEEPCO, the representative informed the
Commission that it is giving schedule on station-wise basis as per Formats provided
by NERLDC. As soon as NERLDC changes the pattern of Formats NEEPCO shall
definitely submit schedules on unit/ module basis.
Regarding payments to NEEPCO for certified open cycle period, it may be noted that
beneficiaries will have to pay the energy charges for generation made by AGBPP,
NEEPCO which was clearly indicated by Hon’ble CERC in recent hearings.
Enhanced rates are provided in the tariff regulation for recovering energy charges
while generating in open cycle mode. NEEPCO is requested to intimate the
difference in energy charges while generating in 1) closed cycle and 2) open cycle.
During the hearing of petition of NEEPCO, Hon’ble CERC advised to settle the issue
in RPC forum.
The issue was discussed in 19th CC meeting. During 20th CC meeting, NERLDC
circulated a format for declaration of capability of the combined cycle Gas based
power plant of NEEPCO at Kathalguri. The format allows module-wise declaration of
open cycle and combined cycle capability of the plant. The modality of filling-up the
format was explained with an example.
Minutes of 87th OCC meeting held on 9th July, 2013 at Guwahati
28
Regarding the past period from April 2009 till date where NERPC has indicated
open cycle operation percentage in the monthly REAs, possibility of revising
relevant REAs considering certain criteria was discussed so that the concerned
beneficiaries may settle the pending issues. However, it was agreed to wait for
CERC judgement on the petition filed by NEEPCO on this issue.
However, it was agreed to discuss the matter in next OCC before implementation of
the format. The Commercial co-ordination sub-committee also suggested to discuss
suggestions of GM division of CEA regarding open cycle operation of Gas based
power plants of WR in OCC forum before adoption in NER.
The following points were suggested by GM Division of CEA for certification of open
cycle operation of plants in Western Region:
1. GTs/ STs are asked to close down due to low system demand by RLDC or trip
out due to high system frequency and subsequently this come on bars on the
request of NERLDC.
2. STGs tripped on station fault but back in service within a short time, unless
RLDC specifically directs the GT operating in open cycle to close down.
3. STGs are on long outages and instructions for running GTs in open cycle are
given by RLDC.
4. Restarting of GTs after tripping during grid disturbances.
5. GTs starts up after annual maintenance and statutory Boiler inspection of

6. In the start up phase open cycle operation may be certified as per the start up
curves of the respective units.
Deliberation of the Committee The above methodology for certifying open cycle generation was discussed. After
detail deliberation, the Sub-committee decided that for the planned annual
maintenance of STG which has been approved in OCC forum, the constituents will

have to pay energy charge corresponding to Open Cycle operation. But when the
generator operates in OC mode due to some fault and problem is resolved in a
reasonable time, in such cases NERLDC has to certify the duration of OC operation
and accordingly it will be reflected in REA prepared by NERPC.
Regarding adoption of methodology, which was suggested by GM Division of CEA
for certification of open cycle operation of plants in Western Region, the committee
decided to wait for the direction of CERC and adopt the guidelines issued by CERC.
The sub-Committee noted as above.
C.14 Power drawal at 132 KV Rangia Grid S/S from Bhutan:
During the 86th OCC meeting, MS I/C informed that NERPC has already taken up
the matter with ERPC and Bhutan Power Corporation. Further, he informed that
Bhutan Power Corporation had agreed to close the Circuit Breaker at their
Deothang (Motanga) end of 132kV Rangia- Deothang line for one week for testing
the line.
Assam informed that presently the line is charged and Assam is drawing around
25MW during off-peak & 35MW during peak hours to meet the demand in Rangia
area. Assam further requested NERPC to take up the matter with Bhutan authority
to continue with the present arrangement of interconnection of ER with NER
through 132kV Rangia – Deothang (Bhutan) line and for increase of drawal at
Rangia to 50MW.

carried out measurement of harmonics in the portion of NER Grid involving RHEP,
Nirjuli S/S and Balipara S/S under different conditions including isolation of ER-
NER Grid.
During the 10th NERPC meeting POWERGRID informed that CRPI has submitted
offer to them for designing of filters amounting to Rs. 1.75 lacs.
During 12th NERPC Meeting, POWERGRID informed that as per the study of CPRI,
the harmonics are generated at Satyam Steel Plant at Banderdewa in Ar. Pradesh.
So, the cost of harmonic filters has to be borne by Satyam Steel Plant, Banderdewa
and accordingly, Ar. Pradesh has to take up the matter with the consumer.
During 13th NERPC Meeting, Ar. Pradesh informed that they have received the
specification and other details of harmonic filters from POWERGRID and they will
implement the same within 2-3 months’ time i.e., within September / October
2012.

C.17 Frequent Tripping Of 33kV System of DOP, AP at Nirjuli and Ziro:
During 9th TCC and NERPC Meeting the issue was discussed in details and
Arunachal Pradesh informed that they have already initiated various measures to
reduce no. of faults on 33 KV lines owned by Dept. of Power, Govt. of Arunachal
Pradesh.
During 10th TCC and NERPC Meeting POWERGRID again expressed concern for
non-reduction of no. of faults in 33kV Feeders. Arunachal Pradesh again assured to
take necessary action urgently to reduce no. of faults in their 33kV lines.
During 11th TCC and NERPC Meeting POWERGRID again raised the issue. But, the
issue could not be discussed due to non-availability of representatives from
Arunachal Pradesh during the meeting and agenda point was deferred for the next
meeting.
During 12th TCC and NERPC Meeting POWERGRID again expressed the concern
and informed that the tripping of 33kV Feeders at Nirjuli and Ziro is in increasing
trend. Accordingly TCC advised NERPC to write a letter to Ar. Pradesh in this
regard.

Me. ECL vide their letter dated 05.06.2013 had requested to consider 220 KV
Killing – Misa D/C line as deemed ISTS element taking into account the power
exchanges during evacuation of Pallatana generation. They have also furnished the
data as per SCADA and from Inter-state energy exchanges as recorded by SEMs at
400 KV & 220 KV links at Killing SS. Similar is the case along the 400 KV LILO at
Killing SS.
Deliberation of the Committee
The Sub-committee requested Me. ECL to go through the CERC Order dated
21.08.2012 on suo-moto Petition No. 15/Suo-Motu/2012 regarding this issue. The
order is reproduced below:
The Commission has been determining tariff of the inter-State transmission lines
developed, owned and operated by the Central Transmission Utility and the
transmission licensees i.e., who have been granted licence by the Commission
under section 79(1) (c) and (d) of the Electricity Act, 2003 (hereinafter referred to as
"the Act").Conveyance of electricity from territory of one State to another State is
also considered to be a part of inter-State transmission system as per section 2(36)
of the Act and accordingly tariff of these lines is also required to be determined by
the Central Commission under Section 79(1)(d) of the Act. Further, some of the
owners/developers of the inter-State transmission lines of 132 kV and above in
North Eastern Region and 220 kV and above in Northern, Eastern, Western and
Southern regions have approached the Implementing Agency for including their
transmission assets in computation of Point of Connection transmission charges
and losses under the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Sharing of inter-
State Transmission Charges and Losses) Regulations, 2010 (hereinafter "Sharing
Regulations'). As a step towards inclusion of non-ISTS lines in the PoC transmission
charges, the Commission proposes to include the Natural inter-State lines, i.e., the
transmission lines connecting two States, for computation of PoC transmission
charges and losses. However, for the disbursement of transmission charges, tariff
for such assets needs to be approved by the Commission in accordance with the
provisions of Sharing Regulations. Accordingly, the owners of these Natural inter-
State lines were directed, vide Commission's order dated 14.3.2012, to file tariff
Minutes of 87th OCC meeting held on 9th July, 2013 at Guwahati
36
petitions for determination of tariff in accordance with the Central Electricity
Regulatory Commission (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2009
(hereinafter referred to as "2009 Tariff Regulations") by 15.4.2012.
Owners of some of the Natural inter-State lines have filed the tariff petitions in
compliance of Commission's order dated 14.3.2012 and many of these Natural
interstate lines have sought time to file the tariff petitions as we directed. We hereby
direct all the Natural inter-State line owners, who are yet to file the tariff petitions,
to file tariff petitions in accordance with the 2009 Tariff Regulations, along with the
prescribed fees, before the 30.9.2012.
Further, CERC vide Order dated 06.03.2013 have again directed to Non-compliance
of CERC Order 21.08.2012 above as below:
It was come to the notice of the Commission that the some of the
owners/developers of the inter-State transmission lines of 132 kV and above in
North Eastern Region and 220 kV and above in Northern, Eastern, Western, and
Southern Regions have approached the Implementing Agency for including their
transmission assets in computation of Point of Connection transmission charges
and losses under the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Sharing of inter-
State Transmission Charges and Losses) Regulations, 2010. Accordingly, the
Commission vide its order dated 14.3.2012 directed the respondents to ensure that
the tariff petitions for determination of tariff is filed by the developers/owners of the
transmission line or by State Transmission Utilities where the transmission lines
are owned by them in accordance with the Central Electricity Regulatory
Commission (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2009 by 30.4.2012. In
response to our directions dated 14.3.2012, the respondents have not filed tariff
petitions for determination of transmission tariff.
The Commission in its order dated 21.8.2012 had further directed as under:
"Owners of some of the Natural inter-State lines have filed the tariff petitions in compliance of Commission`s order dated 14.3.2012 and many of these Natural inter-State lines have sought time to file the tariff petitions as we directed. We hereby direct all the Natural inter-State lines owners, who are yet to file the tariff petitions, to file tariff petitions in accordance with the 2009 Tariff Regulations, along with the prescribed fees, before the 30.9.2012."

The respondents have not complied our directions contained in our order dated
14.3.2012 and 21.8.2012.
Meghalaya representative appreciated about the information highlighted to them
and stated that they will study the CERC Order and act accordingly.
The Committee noted as above.
D. 3.3 SLDC Up-gradation & Parallel Communication Scheme:
Me. ECL vide their letter dated 05.06.2013 had requested for an official intimation
pertaining to constituent-wise breakup of costs in respect of the SLD Up-gradation
Scheme and parallel communication scheme, if envisaged, for optimum utilization
of the SLDC Up-gradation scheme. They have intimated that they require this for
filing of ARR with the State Regulatory Commission.
Deliberation of the Committee
The Committee requested POWERGRID to furnish the detail breakup in respect of
estimated cost for upgradation of existing SLDCs & Parallel Communication
Scheme to Assam, Meghalaya & Tripura.
The Committee noted as above.
D.4 Agenda from TSECL:
D.4.1 Construction of Transmission Line from Surjamaninagar to Silchar via P.K. Bari by PGCIL:
3 Nos. of 400 KV D/C line within and across the state of Tripura is constructed by
PGCIL for evacuation of power from Pallatana 726 MW CCGT.
These are:
a. 400 KV D/C line from Pallatana – Silchar- Byrnihat – Bongaigoan
b. 400 KV D/C line from Pallatana to Surjamaninagar (charged at 132 KV)
c. 400 KV D/C line from Silchar to P.K. Bari (to be charged at 132 KV)
Evacuation of power from Pallatana project to NER Grid is solely dependent on 400
KV D/C line from Pallatana to Bongaigoan via Silchar & Byrnihat line. This line
passes through deep forest area as well as hilly terrain of high wind zone. Further,
the area is also prone to storm & cyclone. As a result the reliability of above line
Minutes of 87th OCC meeting held on 9th July, 2013 at Guwahati
38
comes under threat particularly during monsoon making the evacuation of power
from this project vulnerable. Therefore, a reliable, alternative transmission system
with higher capability is required to ensure evacuation of power from Pallatana
project. Further, the concept of TTC and ATC has called for requirement of capacity
augmentation of Pallatana Transmission System.
Since 2 nos. of 400 KV D/C line i.e. Silchar to P.K. Bari & Pallatana to
Surjamaninagar are being constructed by PGCIL, the left out middle portion of
about 130 KM line from P.K. Bari to Surjamaninagar is essentially required to be
constructed by PGCIL for enhancing the transmission capability and reliability of
grid connectivity from Pallatana project.
The Committee may discuss for construction of the above missing link by PGCIL as part of ISTS.
Also due to declaration of ATC & TTC, the optimum utilization of generation
resources throughout the country is not taking place and as a result it has been
observed that some part of the country are remaining with surplus power while the
other regions are facing huge power shortage. As far as NER is concerned, the
region is hydro pre-dominant and water energy is spilled out sue to non-availability
of transmission corridor during monsoon. But beneficiary utilities are liable to pay
all applicable charges (Transmission, Generation & Operation etc.). In addition to
the above, handling of periodical/seasonal surplus power from up-coming projects
like Pallatana, Bongaigoan, Monarchak and Subansiri will become very critical
leading to uncertainty in making due to recovery of generation and transmission
charges etc. Therefore, it is required to review the situation for economic &
optimum load dispatch & schedule.
However, the Minutes of the meeting to review the inter-state works of
Comprehensive Scheme for Strengthening of Transmission System in NER &
Sikkim held at Guwahati on 30-10-2012 was decided as below after detailed
discussion regarding construction of Surajmaninagar-P. K. Bari 400 kV D/C line
Director (SP&PA), CEA informed that the Surjamaninagar- P. K. Bari 400 kV D/C
line (initially op. at 132 kV) was agreed as a part of evacuation system from
Monarchak GBPP (NEEPCO) in the standing committee meeting on Power System
Planning in NER held on 25-06-2008 to be implemented by TSECL. Subsequently,
TSECL has included this line in the scope of works for Comprehensive Scheme for
Minutes of 87th OCC meeting held on 9th July, 2013 at Guwahati

Strengthening of Transmission & Distribution System in NER & Sikkim for the state
of Tripura, the DPR for which had been prepared by POWERGRID. The issue of
implementation of this line was also discussed with Secretary (Power), Government
of Tripura on 14th March, 2012 in his chamber when a team of CEA and
POWERGRID visited Tripura to prioritize the scope of works to be covered under
tranche-I of the proposed World Bank assistance. It was decided to consider the implementation of this line under tranche-II / tranche- III of the World Bank assistance depending upon priority of Tripura. In view of the above, it was agreed that the Surjamaninagar- P. K. Bari 400 kV D/C line (initially op. at 132 kV) along with 400 kV P. K. Bari sub-station may be implemented as an intra-state system.
Deliberation of the Committee
Members of the committee supported the view of Tripura regarding construction of
missing link i.e. Surjamaninagar- P. K. Bari 400 kV D/C line (initially op. at 132
kV) along with 400 kV P. K. Bari sub-station. Member Secretary (I/C) informed that
as per minutes of meeting held at Guwahati on 30.10.2012, it has also been
decided to consider the implementation of this line under tranche-II / tranche- III of
the World Bank assistance depending upon priority of Tripura. In view of the above,
it was agreed that the Surjamaninagar- P. K. Bari 400 kV D/C line (initially op. at
132 kV) along with 400 kV P. K. Bari sub-station may be implemented as an intra-
state system.
DGM, TSECL informed that World Bank funding is not firm up at present
The Committee requested NERPC to take up the matter in the next TCC/RPC meetings.
D.4.2 Energy Audit & Energy Account Circulation:
Energy Metering System for regional energy accounting are installed & maintained
by PGCIL. Energy audit in calibration of Energy Metering Systems has so far been
not found conducted and reports not circulated to any constituent/beneficiary.
Under ABT regime the accuracy of meter reading and compilation of meter data is
very much essential for satisfactorily settlement of commercial issues. It is
therefore, proposed to carry out calibration of all energy metering system by CPRI
and conduct energy audit by Third Party Agency (TPA).
Minutes of 87th OCC meeting held on 9th July, 2013 at Guwahati
40
Deliberation of the Committee
After detailed deliberation, the Committee requested POWERGRID to carry out the
calibration of all energy meters, which are in operation for more than five (5) years,
through external agency as per requirement of CERC.
D.4.3 Effective & Gain Full Utilization of NER Surplus Power during Hydro Season:
Tripura informed that firm entitlement of power is not shown in day ahead by hydro
generators but schedule is released on the day of operation with much variation. As
a result there is wider mismatch between actual drawal and drawal schedule. The
surplus power is forced to sale through UI and frequency remained at 50.2 Hz and
above, resulting UI price in most of the time during monsoon. Had there been
proper planning of entitlement known on day ahead, the state utility could have
properly arrange for either bilateral sale or through exchange. The states are heavily
burden with higher energy charge in addition to capacity charge of generating
stations, but enable to earn corresponding revenue. Due to such improper
utilization of energy revenue earning by state utility, payment on account of power
purchase liability is becoming uncertain.
Deliberation of the Committee The Committee decided to take up the matter in the next TCC/RPC meetings.
D.5 Agenda from POWERGRID:
D.5.1 Signing of Transmission Service Agreement:
The TSA has already been signed by NEEPCO, Mizoram, Arunachal, Manipur,
Meghalaya and Nagaland.
During 13th NERPC Meeting, Assam intimated that the matter was under process
and they would sign the TSA within two months i.e., within Sept’12. Further
Tripura also agreed to sign the TSA. But till now, Assam and Tripura both have not
signed the TSA which is mandatory as per CERC norms.
Minutes of 87th OCC meeting held on 9th July, 2013 at Guwahati
41
Deliberation of the Committee
Representatives from Assam and Tripura informed that the matter has been taken
up with Competent Authorities and they have agreed to sign the TSA. The matter
was also discussed in 20th CC meeting. The sub-committee requested POWERGRID
to contact the concerned person of Assam & Tripura for signing of the TSA.
The Committee noted as above.
D.4.2 Signing of Zero Date for Indemnification Agreement:
The Kameng HEP (4x150 MW) is being implemented by NEEPCO. The original
schedule of commissioning of Kameng HEP was Nov.’09, which was subsequently
revised to Dec’12. POWERGRID had undertaken construction of transmission line
for evacuation of Power from the above project. In Oct’11, NEEPCO has again
revised its commissioning schedule to June’16. The implementation work of
associated transmission system was slowed down to the maximum extent possible
& is now likely to be completed by Mar’14.
The Lower Subansiri HEP (8x250 MW) is being implemented by NHPC. The original
Sch. of commissioning of Lower Subansiri HEP was Dec’11, which subsequently
revised to Mar’12 / Dec’12 / Mar’13 / Dec’13. The implementation work of
associated transmission system being constructed by POWERGRID was slowed
down to maximum extent possible & is now likely to be completed by Dec’13. After
various meeting, NHPC agreed for Dec’13 as zero date, but signing of
Indemnification Agreement is still pending.
NEEPCO & NHPC have yet to sign zero date for Indemnification Agreement despite
regular follow-up by POWERGRID.
Deliberation of the Committee
NEEPCO & NHPC representatives stated that the matter has to be decided by their
Competent Authorities, hence, requested NERPC to refer the issue to next
TCC/RPC meetings.
The Committee noted as above.

D.5 Agenda from NERLDC:
D.5.1 Telemetry Data/Voice Communication of Bongaigoan TPP:
NERLDC vide their letter dated 05.06.2013 had informed that the 1st Unit of
Bongaigoan TPP (3 x 250 MW) of NTPC is expected to be commissioned during
May/June, 2014. In this regard, this is to state that before commissioning of the
project, the connectivity conditions pertaining to Telemetry Data/Voice
Communication systems in terms of clause 4.6.2 of IEGC 2012 read with clause
6(3) of CEA (Technical Standards for connectivity of the Grid) Regulations, 2007 are
fully met and the real time data of the said project be made available in the SCADA
database of NERLDC along with voice communication systems at the time of
commissioning.

D.5.4 Accommodation of Palatana generation during high hydro period:
Pallatana generation is expected at any time. Monsoon has also set in and all the
reservoirs are in rising trend and all the hydro stations are expected to generate to
their full capacity. In such a scenario it might be a very difficult task to
accommodate the generation from Pallatana as this might lead to violation of export
ATC limit forcing us to back down generation in some stations.
Deliberation of the Committee All constituents did not agree to back down their generation during high hydro
period. However, committee decided that OTPC can generate upto limit as per
advice of NERLDC taking into consideration the real time operation of the grid.
DGM, NERLDC stated that they will not be in a position to allow injection of infirm
power to grid by Palatana beyond 31st July, 2013 without the approval of CERC as
the existing approval will expire on 31st July, 2013. For the benefit of the region, the
forum also requested OTPC to stabilize their machine before the next lean hydro
period.
The Committee noted as above.

D.5.5 Furnishing machine data as per format (format available at website of NERLDC)
It was discussed during 69th OCC meeting held on 10.01.12 and subsequent OCC
meeting that machine data as per format to be furnished by concerned
utilities/SLDCs for the purpose of dynamic study.
Enquiry Committee on Grid Disturbance on 30th July 12 & 31st July 12
recommended that Dynamic Security Assessment are to be carried out periodically.
As per new Manual on Transmission Planning Criteria Jan13 of CEA & Detailed
Procedure for Relieving Congestion in Real Time Operation of CERC, stability and
related studies for reliability need to be conducted.
At this stage, at least the machine data for unit size 25 MW and above are
essentially required. SLDCs and ISGS Stations NEEPCO & NHPC are requested to

(i) Poor Availability of Auxiliary Supply at various Sub-stations of POWERGRID in NER:
In North Eastern Region, POWERGRID is operating and maintaining its EHV
transmission consisting of 16 nos. of substations spread over in all the seven
states of the region. Further, these stations play a significant role for evacuation of
power from major generation plants viz. Ranganadi HEP, Kathalguri Thermal
Plant, Kopili & Khandong HEP, Loktak HEP, RC Nagar Thermal Plant & Pallatana
GBPP to the rest of the NER Grid.
Now, for smooth operation and maintenance of these Sub Stations reliable
auxiliary power supply from states is required. Presently, auxiliary power supply in
most of the stations is provided by concerned SEBs at 33kV or 11kV through HT
feeders. However, it has been observed that availability / reliability of auxiliary
power supply provided in many stations is poor as indicated below:
SN Substation Availability / Reliability Source
1 SALAKATI 60% 11 kV Feeder from 33/11 KV Salakati (APDCL) S/s
2 KUMARGHAT 80% 11 kV Feeder from 132/33/11 KV PK Bari (TSECL) S/s
3 MISA 20% 11 kV Feeder from 33/11 KV Kathiatoli (APDCL) S/s
4 BALIPARA 75% 11 kV Feeder from 33/11 KV Balipara (APDCL) S/s
5 BADARPUR 60% 11 kV Feeder from 33/11 KV Panchgram (APDCL) S/s
6 BONGAIGAON 60% 11 kV Feeder from 33/11 KV Salakati (APDCL) S/s
Minutes of 87th OCC meeting held on 9th July, 2013 at Guwahati

identify the second source of auxiliary supply that can be made available in above
mentioned substations of POWERGRID to ensure uninterrupted auxiliary supply.
Accordingly the POWERGRID can take up the erection work.
The Committee noted as above.
(k) Diversion of various Transmission Lines on Pile foundation due to change in River Course:
Various Transmission Lines of POWERGRID in NERTS are becoming vulnerable
from time-to-time due to frequent change in river course. In such cases, PGCIL is
providing temporary embankment protection as immediate measure through
boulder sausage, spars, porcupine etc. However, in case the protection does not
work, necessary diversion of line is done on pile foundation if safe space for normal
foundation is not available.
The Tower Locations in the following transmission lines of NER had become
vulnerable due to unabated erosion caused by change in river course.
Transmission Line Location No. Remarks
132KV S/C Gohpur-Nirjuli line 73, 74 & 75 Endangered due to erosion by River Chessa
220KV D/C Balipara-Samaguri line 29 & 30 Endangered due to erosion by River Jorasor
400KV D/C Ranganadi-Balipara line 42 Endangered due to erosion by River Dikrong
Despite implementation of various Temporary Bank protection works, erosion
could not be arrested and the said tower locations became prone to collapse in the
year 2011. Considering the criticality of the above locations, immediate action for
Minutes of 87th OCC meeting held on 9th July, 2013 at Guwahati
56
shifting the locations on Pile Foundation was taken by POWERGRID. As on date,
the shifting work of above vulnerable locations in 132KV S/C Gohpur-Nirjuli line
& 220KV D/C Balipara-Samaguri line has been completed while that for loc.42 in
400KV D/C Ranganadi-Balipara line is in progress & is expected to be completed
by July’13.
Subsequently, the following tower locations have been rendered vulnerable by
unpredicted change in course of rivers flowing in their vicinity resulting erosion in
the year 2012 & 2013.
Transmission Line Location No. Remarks
400KV D/C Misa-Mariani line (charged at 220KV) 585,586,587 Endangered due to erosion by
River Doyang
400KV D/C Balipara-Bongaigaon line 288 Endangered due to erosion by River Bhola
400KV D/C Ranganadi-Balipara line 45,58, 65,66,67 Endangered due to erosion by River Dikrong
Embankment protection provided i.r.o. these locations from time to time have
failed to withstand the water surge & resultant erosion during monsoon. In order
to avert tower collapse, POWERGRID has taken action for shifting these locations
also on Pile Foundation.
Accordingly, the vulnerable stretch from loc. No. 585 to loc.587 of 400KV D/C
Misa-Mariani line and Loc. 288 of 400kV Balipara-Bongaigaon Line is being shifted
on Pile Foundations. Further, work for Pile Foundation for Loc. No. 45, 58, 65, 66
& 67 of 400KV D/C Ranganadi-Balipara line is presently in progress.
