SR� through� the� Gazuwaka� HVDC� b�to�b� APTRANSCO� agreed� towards� limiting� the�generation�in�Vemagiri�and�Vizag�area�to�the�said�limits.�APTRANSCO�informed�that�as� a� new� capital� of� Andhra� Pradesh� is� being� envisaged� to� be� built� in� the�Narsaraopeta/�Vijayawada�area,�the�load�in�the�area�is�likely�to�increase.�

4.5 �KPTCL� asked� that� why� import� from� Gazuwaka� HVDC� b�t�b� is� being� curtailed� to�about�700�MW�instead�of�its�capacity�of�1000MW.�In�this�regard,�DGM(CTU)�stated�that� the� restriction� is� in� the� Eastern� Region� due� to� non�availability� of� Talcher�Behrampur�Gazuwaka�400�kV�lines�which�were�to�be�built�by�Reliance.�

4.6 �After�discussion�Members�agreed�to�the�proposal�of�rearrangement�for�Vemagiri�as�stated�above.�

5. System�for�increasing�capacity�of�Inter�State�Transmission�system�for�import� ��of�

power�into�SR�up�to�2018�19.��

5.1 Director,�CEA�stated�that�Southern�Region�is�facing�power�deficit�which�has�arisen�mainly� due� to� –� (i)� delay/deferment� of� anticipated� generation� projects,� for�example,� Krishnapattam� UMPP� (4000� MW),� Cheyyur� UMPP(4000� MW),� Udangudi�TPS,� IPP� projects� in� Nagapatanam/� Cuddalore� area� (3000� to� 4000� MW),�Kundankulam� APP� (2000� MW),� Kalpakkam� PFPR� (500� MW),� East� coast� project� in�Srikakulam�(1320�MW),�Gas�based�projects�in�Vemagiri�(about�3000�MW)�etc.�and�(ii)�also�due�to�non�availability�of�gas�for�existing�gas�projects�in�Southern�Region.�

�Some�of�the�constraints�in�import�of�power�into�Southern�Region�and�delivering�up�to� Kerala� and� Tamil� Nadu� has� also� been� due� to� long� delay� in� commissioning� of�important� 400� kV� transmission� lines,� for� example,� Mysore� �� Kozikode� 400� kV� D/C�line� (delayed� by� more� than� 7� years),� Tirunelveli�Edamon�Cochin� 400� kV� D/c� line�(delayed�by�about�4�years)�and�Narendera�Kolhapur�inter�regional�765�kV�D/C�line.�Some�constraints�have�also�been�caused�due�to�delay�in�the�transmission�systems�of� states,� for� example,� the� system� associated� with� Narsaropeta,� Vijaywada,�Hyderabad�&�Kakatiya�TPS�in�Andhra�Pradesh,�system�associated�with�Yermarus�TPS�and� non�finalisation� of� land� for� New� Narendera� in� Karnataka� and� transmission�system�for�wind�projects�and�North�Chennai�TPS�in�Tamil�Nadu.�

5.2 He�further� stated� that� joint� studies�were�carried�out�by�CTU�and�CEA�to� facilitate�import� of� 16000� MW� power� to� Southern� region� by� 2018�19� based� on� the�pessimistic� scenario� of� non�availability� /� delay� in� commissioning� of� some� of� the�generation� projects� in� Southern� region.� The� system� was� tested� for� contingencies�including�total�outage�of�an�entire�inter�regional�link�and�other�critical�regional�lines�for�reliability.�

being�done�towards�construction�of�400/220�kV�substation� in�Podli.�Hence,� it�was�decided�that�item�no.�(iii)�and�(ix)�of�the�Scheme�III�shall�be�deleted�from�its�scope,�and� following� system� will� be� implemented� by� APTRANSCO,� as� decided� in� the� last�meeting.� �

5.5 System�strengthening�agreed�to�be�implemented�by�APTRANSCO�

1. Establishment�of�400/220kV�substations�at�Podli�with�2x315�MVA�transformers�and�2x125�MVAR�bus�reactors�

2. Narsaraopeta�–�Podili�400kV�D/c�line.�

5.6 TSTRANSCO� and� TANGEDCO� suggested� that� the� Raigarh�Pugalur� HVDC� may� be�implemented�by�POWERGRID�due�to�urgent�need�of�power�transfer�to�SR.�

5.7 Director,�CEA�opined�that�the�proposed�HVDC�may�be�planned�in�phases�with�3000�MW�in�the�first�phase�and�later�on�to�be�upgraded�by�another�3000�MW�module.�This�way�we�can�defer�Rs4000�5000�crores�of�investment.��

5.8 DGM�(CTU)�stated�that�the�experience�of� implementation�of�Champa�Kurukshetra�HVDC� line� in� two� phases� suggests� that� phase� wise� implementation� may� involve�number�of�issues�such�as�contractual�and�complexity�in�integration�of�two�modules�especially�when� these�are� supplied�by�different�manufacturers.�Further,� since� the�power� shortage� in� Southern� region� is� very� high� which� is� likely� to� remain� so� for� a�long�time�and�as�such�the�requirement�of�second�phase�may�be�envisaged�within�a�very� short� span�of� time,� it�may�be� implemented�as�6000�MW�capacity�HVDC� in�a�single�phase.��

5.9 In� this� regard,� KSEB� suggested� that� the� drawl� of� power� from� the� proposed� 6000�MW� HVDC� may� be� divided� with� 4000� MW� terminal� at� Pugalur� and� balance� 2000�MW�may�be�extended�to�Kerala�as�the�state�is�facing�acute�power�shortage.�

5.10 DGM(CTU),�PGCIL�said�that�this�shall�require�substantial�land�in�Kerala�area�where�land�acquisition�is�difficult.�Further�the�HVDC�for�such�a�small�distance�of�about�250�km� is� too� short� for� making� the� scheme� economically� viable.� He� suggested� that�looking� into� RoW� problems� in� Kerala� area� provision� of� VSC� based� underground�cables�can�be�explored.�

5.11 Director,�KSEB�explained�that�out�of�the�estimated�hydro�electric�potential�of�about�6000�MW�in�the�state,�Kerala�could�harness�only�about�2040�MW�so�far.�Further,�no�hydro� projects� with� storage� sufficient� to� provide� peak� support� during� summer� is�not�possible�due�to�environmental�concerns.�Hence,�to�meet�the�demand,�the�only�option� for� the� State� is� to� import� power� from� outside.� It� is� estimated� that� an�additional� import� capability� of� around� 2000� MW� by� year� 2018� and� 4000� MW� by�year�2022�will�become�quite�essential�for�meeting�the�forecasted�demand�of�about�

5000� MW� and� 6100� MW� respectively� (as� per� 18th� EPS)� for� the� time� frame� under�consideration.��

Regarding,� ROW� problem,� he� explained� that� the� possibility� of� getting� multiple�

corridors� across� the� Western� Ghats� is� also� rare� and� has� to� be� factored� in.�

Considering�these,�a�HVDC�line�can�be�an�ideal�technology�for�extending�the�ISTS�to�

Kerala.�He�proposed�that�2000�MW�can�be� located�at�Kerala�by�maintaining�4000�

MW�at�Pugalur�itself�as�planned�initially.�Accordingly,�the�same�+800�kV�HVDC�link�

can� be� extended� to� Kerala� with� one� Inverter� stations� of� 4000� MW� capacity� at�

Pugalur�and�second�of�2000�MW�capacity�at�Madakkathara,�Kerala.�This�would�also�

avoid� need� for� providing� ac� –� dc� conversion� twice.� Also,� this� arrangement� would�

reduce�the�requirement�of�765�kV�and�400�kV�AC�corridors�from�Pugalur�for�further�

dispersal�of�power�received�at�the�HVDC�Station.��

He� further� explained� that� for� the� evacuation� of� 2000� MW� power� minimum� of� 5�

number� of� 400� kV� lines� may� be� required� (Considering� the� N�1� condition).� 400� kV�

substation,� Madakkathara� (Trichur� North)� is� connected� to� Palakkad� (Udumalpet)�

and�Kochi�through�400�kV�D/c�corridors.�A�400�kV�D/c�line�is�also�planned�towards�

Areakode� and� is� expected� to� be� taken� up� using� the� RoW� of� the� Madakkathara� –�

Areakode� 220� kV� S/c� as� soon� as� the� 400� kV� Mysore� –� Areakode� D/c� line� is�

commissioned.�The� link� is�already�approved� in�the�Standing�Committee� for�Power�

System� Planning� of� Southern� Region.� Thus,� the� following� six� 400� kV� lines� will� be�

available�at�400�kV�S/s�Madakkathara�S/S:�

� Madakkathara�–�Palakkad�D/c�–�Existing�� Madakkathara�–�Cochin�D/c�–�Existing�� Madakkathara� –� Areakode� –� Mylatty� –� Uduppi� D/c� –� Planned� for�

evacuation.�Accordingly,� the� additional� works� required� for� evacuation� of� 2000� MW� is� thus�

minimal�at�Madakkathara.�

The� land� requirement� is� expected� to� be� around� 80� acres� since� the� 400� kV� yard�

already� exists� and� only�extension� is� required.� The� land� is� available� for�acquisition�

and�may�be�possible�without�much�difficulty.�The� line�construction� in�the�eastern�

part� of� Madakkathara� up� to� Kerala� border� is� also� possible� with� minimum� RoW�

issues.��

5.12 Based�on�the�above�discussions,�it�was�agreed�to�have�a�6000�MW�HVDC�link�from�Raigarh,� Chhatisgarh� to� Southern� Region.� Regarding� building� this� link� as� a� multi�terminal� HVDC,� with� one� Inverter� station� of� 4000� MW� at� Pugalur� and� another�

evacuated�through�Talcher�Kolar�bipole�HVDC�line.�Talcher�II�Augmentation�scheme�has� been� planned� as� a� back�up� transmission� system� to� cater� to� pole� outage� of�HVDC�line.�

15.3 On� the� issue� of� prolonged� delay� in� implementation� of� Talcher�II� back� up�Transmission�system,�NTPC�representative�expressed�their�concern�and�submitted�the�following:�

1. For� catering� to� the� contingency� of� outage� of� 1�pole� Talcher�Kolar� HVDC� link,�back� up� transmission� systems� were� deliberated� at� various� meetings� of� SCMs�and�RPCs�and�after�collective�efforts�of�CEA,�PGCIL,�SR�States�and�NTPC�a�back�up� Transmission� system� were� approved� in� Standing� Committee� Meetings� of�Southern� Region� and� Eastern� Region� in� 2007,� and� is� to� be� implemented� by�Reliance.�

2. In� the� absence� of� adequate� system� to� cater� to� the� contingency� of� one� pole�outage�of�Talcher�Kolar�HVDC,�the�Talcher�project�is�facing�constraints�in�power�evacuation�to�SR.�On�such�outage�of�HVDC�pole(s),�power�gets�injected�into�ER�system�and�to� limit�the� jerk�on�the�Grid,�generation�back�down/�unit� tripping�has� been� implemented� for� Talcher�II� units.� Accordingly,� NTPC� were� asked� to�put� a� SPS� scheme� and� the� same� is� already� in� place� since� year� 16th� October�2005� named� as� SPS�450.� This� SPS� scheme� has� subsequently� been� revised� by�ERLDC�and�a�SPS��1000�were�also�put�in�service�since�2nd�June�2007.�As�of�now�both�the�SPS�scheme�are�in�place�and�operation�of�SPS��450�or�SPS�1000�are�as�per�instruction�of�ERLDC.��

3. NTPC�informed�that�due�to�restrictions�on�power�evacuation�and�SPS�in�service�since� June�� 2005� is� causing� considerable� generation� loss� due� to� unit� back�down/�trippings.��

4. Since�the�subject�scheme�i.e.�‘Augmentation�of�Talcher�II�Transmission�System’�is� linked� to� reliability/availability� of� Talcher�II� generation� to� Regional�beneficiaries�under�HVDC�pole�outages,�this�scheme�is�critical.�Further,�due�to�operation� of� SPS� for� such� a� long� period� both� the� beneficiaries� as� well� as� the�generation�projects�are�suffering�and�hence�there�is�need�to�review�the�SPS�at�Talcher�II�STPP�on�urgent�basis.�

16. Operational�feedback�on�Transmission�constraints�

16.1 DGM(SRLDC),� POSOCO� presented� the� transmission� lines� constraints� in� Southern�region�,�highlights�of�which�are�given�below:�

� The� SR� has� experienced� high� loading� on� Kolar�Hosur� DC,� S.V.Chathram��Pondy� SC,� Hosur�Salem� both� circuits,� Salem�Udumalpet� DC,� Gooty/�Nelamangala/�Somanahalli�400kV�lines.�POSOCO�report�also�mentions�about�North�South� corridor� constraint� in� future.� He� also� mentioned� that� the�loading� across� S1�S2� would� be� a� concern� going� forward� also� as� there� are�LTA’s� lined� up� across� this� seam.� These� loading/constraints� are� likely� to� be�partly�eased�with�the�already�planned�transmission�system�for�strengthening�of�S1�S2�corridor�(Salem�Salem(New)_Bangalore�quad�D/C�line).�The�Salem�–�Madhugiri�765kV�lines�will�also�help�largely� in�easing�North�–South�corridor�constraints.�

� He�also�mentioned�that�once�these�lines�are�in�place�the�loading�on�400�kV�Salem�Udumalpet� would� be� a� concern� until� the� 400� kV� Arasur�Thiruvalam�line�is�commissioned�

� SR�grid�has�also�experienced�high�loading�on�400kV�Hiriyur�Nelamangala�DC�line� and� Jindal�BTPS� SC� Line.� These� constraints� are� likely� to� remain� until�commissioning� of� the� transmission� system� planned� for� Yermaras� TPS� .� The�220� kV� Hiriyur�Gowrididanur� D/C� line� under� construction� by� KPTCL� would�help�in�relieving�this�line�to�some�extent.�

� POSOCO� report� also� states� that� there� may� be� constraint� in� the� 400kV�Khammam�Nagarjuna�Sagar�SC� line�which�may�ease�after�commissioning�of�400kV�D/C�line�between�Khammam�and�Nagarjuna�Sagar�.��

16.2 He� also� said� that� speeding� up� of� the� Kudamkulam� Unit�1� &� 2,� Neyveli� TPSII� Exp�Unit�1� and� Neyveli� TPSII� Exp� Unit�2� generation� projects,� and� other� generation�projects�in�S2,�would�provide�relief�in�SR�grid.��

16.3 �He�highlighted�constraints�at�the�following�ICTs��

� 400/220kV� 315MVA� ICTs� at� Hyderabad� (Ghanapur� 3Nos.,� Mamidipalli�3Nos.,and�Malkaram�3Nos.)��

� 400/220kV�315MVA�ICTs�at�Mysore�2Nos.�

� 400/220kV��315MVA�ICTs�at�Kalvindapattu�2�Nos�

� 400/220kV��315MVA�ICTs�at�Trichur�2Nos�and�Palakkad�2Nos�

In� this� regard,� CEA� stated� that� newly� planned� substations� at� Maheshwaram�400/220kV,� 2x500MVA,� Gajwel,� Yeddumailaram� likely� to� ease� the� ICTs� at�Hyderabad.� For� easing� the� loading� on� ICTs� at� Bangalore,� redistribution/� re�configuration� of� 220kV� transmission� lines� around� these� substations� is� required.�Similarly,� for� relieving�the� loading�at�Mysore,�strengthening�at�220kV� level�around�Mysore� is� required.� This� needs� to� be� planned�by� KPTCL.� He� further� stated� that� to�relieve�the� loading�at�Kalvindapattu,�newly�planned�substations�at�Thiruvalam�and�Sholinganallur�would�help.�Also,�ICTs�at�Trichur�would�ease�after�Mysore��Kozikode�400kV�line.��

16.4 DGM(SRLDC),�POSOCO�pointed�out�high�voltage�on�a�number�of�400kV�nodes� �

as� given� in� POSOCO� report.� In� this� regard� CTU� stated� that� the� planned�augmentation� of� bus� reactors,� including� SVC/STATCOMs� would� help� in� bringing�down�the�voltages.�Further,�regulating�generation�voltages�and�reactive�absorption�limits�of�generators�need�to�be�undertaken.�

16.5 �DGM(SRLDC),�POSOCO�stressed�the�need�to�speed�up�following�transmission� lines�affecting�grid�operation�adversely:��

� 400kV�Edaman�Cochin�DC�line�

� 400kV�Mysore�Khozhikode�DC�line�

� 400�kV�Salem�Dharmapuri(Salem�New)�Bangalore�DC�line�

17.1 CE(SP&PA),� CEA� stated� that� CERC� vide� its� order� dated� 09.07.2012� of� petition� No.�127/2012,128/2012�&�156/2012�directed�CEA�to�consider�the�necessity�and�utility�of� Vemagiri�Khammam�Hyderabad� 765kV� D/C� line� in� the�meeting� of� the� Standing�Committee�on�Power�System�Planning�of�SR.��

17.2 He�further�stated�that�CEA�in�its� letter�to�CERC�has�submitted�that�the�Vemagiri�–�Khammam���Hyderabad�765kV�D/C�line�was�awarded�to�PGCIL�for�implementation�and�the�SPV�was�acquired�by�it�in�April,�2012.�Pre�award�activities�for�this�line�have�been� completed� and� some� of� the� post� award� activities� have� already� been�undertaken.�The�transmission�developer�has�already�applied�to�CERC�for�adoption�of� tariff� and� issue� of� transmission� licence.� Thus,� the� Vemagiri� �� Khammam� ��Hyderabad�765kV�D/C�line�may�be�completed�earlier�than�any�new�line�that�may�be�planned� for� evacuation� of� power� beyond� Vemagiri.� The� completion� of� this� line�would�enable�evacuation�of�power�from�gas�based�projects�in�Vemagiri�and�import�of�power�from�Eastern�Region�into�Southern�Region.�Therefore,�it�is�opined�that�the�Vemagiri���Khammam���Hyderabad�765kV�D/C�line�that�is�already�awarded�to�PGCIL�may�be�implemented�as�soon�as�possible.�

17.3 DGM�(CTU)�stated�that� investment�of�about�2000�crores�should�not�be�made�only�on�the�basis�of�completion�of�some�pre�award�activities�but�should�be�based�on�the�utility� of� the� Vemagiri�Khammam�Hyderabad� lines.� He� informed� that�comprehensive�studies�were�carried�out�for�import�requirement�of�Southern�region�and�based�on�the�studies�it�has�been�found�that�this�line�is�not�required�for�meeting�the� import� requirement� of� Southern� region.� In� fact� this� line� which� was� primarily�planned� for� evacuation� of� power� from� gas� based� generation� IPPs� in� the� Vemagiri�area� does� not� carry� substantial� amount� of� power� in� the� absence� of� these�generation�plants.��

17.4 CEA� opined� that� the� Vemagiri�Khammam�Hyderabad� line� may� be� considered�looking�into�the�possibility�of�availability�of�gas�in�the�Vemagiri�area�in�near�future.�

17.5 DGM�(CTU)�informed�that�in�present�form,�this�system�cannot�be�built�as�the�prices�at�which�it�was�bid�two�years�ago�don’t�hold�today.�In�fact,�based�on�the�order�given�by�Hon’ble�commission,�PGCIL�has�returned�construction�stage�Bank�Guarantee(BG)�of�Spectrum�Power�Generation�Ltd�and�Samalkot�Power�Ltd�and�as�such�now�there�are�no�Long�Term�customers� left.�Bids�and�all�procedures� initiated�for�the�system�have�been�undone�and�now�if�the�system�is�rebuilt�then�the�Southern�Region�states�are�the�only�entity�left�for�sharing�of�transmission�charges�and�it�is�for�the�States�to�decide�if�they�are�ready�to�bear�the�same.�

17.6 Director,� CEA�said� that�Samalkot�Power� Ltd� in� a�petition� in� this�case� in�CERC,�has�asked�to�return�the�BG�since�the�transmission�system�is�not�being�built�even�though�the�generation�station�is�being�commissioned.�Samalkot�has�stated�the�following:�

“Since CTU has failed to do its part of construction of transmission system even though generating station has been commissioned, the construction bank guarantee should not be insisted upon and may be returned by CTU.”�

17.7 KSEB� stated� that� in� case� of� availability� of� gas� in� the� Vemagiri� area� in� near� future�then� this� is� the� only� system� that� can� come� earliest.� Therefore,� system� studies�should�be�carried�out�considering�Vemagiri�Khammam�Hyderabad�link.��

17.8 APTRANSCO�stated�that�since�there�is�no�gas�availability�in�Vemagiri�area,�this�link�may�not�be�needed�and�may�be�dropped�as�of�now.�

17.9 KPTCL� stated� that� there� would� be� low�participation� of� bidders� for� the� mentioned�corridor�due�to�uncertainty�of�gas�and�hence�the�link�may�be�dropped.�

17.10 NTPC� agreed� that� even� if� gas� generation� comes� in� the� region� it� will� come� with� a�different�commercial�background�and�then�the�system�that�was�earlier�quoted�by�SPV�will�also�be�on�different�commercial�platform�and�may�be�a�complex�issue�for�contractual�mitigations.�

17.11 TANTRANSCO�supported�proposal�of�dropping�the�Vemagiri�Khammam�Hyderabad�link.�

17.12 TSTRANSCO� stated� that� gas� may� be� available� in� near� future� and� there� may� be�requirement� of� this� link� for� evacuation� of� gas� and� hence� these� transmission� lines�may�be�taken�up.�

17.13 SRLDC� stated� that� these� lines� may� be� required� only� if� Hinduja� generation� comes�earlier� than� the� associated� transmission� system� of� APTRANSCO� that� has� been�planned�to�evacuat�power�from�the�Hinduja�project.�

17.14 POSOCO� stated� that� Vemagiri�Khammam�Hyderabad� lines� may� provide� interlink�between�Wardha�Hyderabad�corridor�and�Srikakulam�Vemagiri�corridor�as�a�East�to�West� transmission� corridor� within� Southern� Region,� and� as� such� these� may� be�taken�for�increasing�reliability.�

17.15 Director,� CEA� opined� that� this� link� may� be� used� for� east� to� west� flow� across�Southern�region�and�transmission�of�power�imported�from�Angul�in�Eastern�Region�towards�Telangana�state.�

17.16 DGM�(CTU),�PGCIL�said�that�the�tendency�of�power�is�to�flow�from�North�to�South�where� power� is� required� and� as� such� no� power� shall� flow� from� east� to� west�especially�in�the�absence�of�gas�at�Vemagiri�and�power�demand�at�Hyderabad�being�

fulfilled�by�Wardha�Hyderabad�link.�He�added�that�issue�of�interlinking�of�Wardha�Hyderabad� and� Srikakulam�Vemagiri� corridors� has� already� been� addressed� by�Hyderabad�Warangal�C’Peta�lines.�

17.17 Director,�CEA�explained�that�the�Vemagiri�–�C’Peta���Warrangal���Hyderabad�765kV�D/C�lines�discussed�and�agreed�earlier�in�this�meeting�are�only�a�slight�modification�of� the� Vemagiri� –� Khammam� �� Hyderabad� 765kV� D/C� lines.� He� opined� that� if� the�Vemagiri� –� Khammam� �� Hyderabad� 765kV� D/C� lines� were� there� or� were� under�construction,�these�would�have�been�modified�(through�LILO�etc)�to�take�advantage�of�import�from�Warora�Warangal�link.�

17.18 Member� Secretary,� SRPC� said� that� these� lines� would� only� duplicate� the�transmission� lines� that� were� later� on� planned� and� agreed� for� import� of� power� to�Southern�region,�and�hence�the�Vemagiri�–�Khammam���Hyderabad�765kV�D/C�lines�may�be�dropped.�

17.19 Based� on� the� above� discussions� it� may� be� inferred� that� the� majority� of� the�

constituents�opined�that�the�Vemagiri�–�Khammam���Hyderabad�765kV�D/C�lines�

awarded�to�a�company�of�PGCIL,�may�be�dropped�as�of�now.�However,�based�on�

the� availability� of� gas/� requests� for� LTAs� from� generating� stations� /� prevailing�

demand�generation� scenario,� the� necessity� and� utility� of� these� lines� may� be�

evaluated�at�that�time.�

• The 400kV Dichpalli – Nirmal DC line and the LILO ofThe 400kV Dichpalli Nirmal DC line and the LILO of400kV KTPP-Gajwel at the proposed 400kV TippapurSS are proposed to have reliability and to improveth lt fil i th l diti h llthe voltage profile in the normal conditions when allthe lift loads are running.

• Both the alternatives are more or less same With the• Both the alternatives are more or less same. With theLILO of 400kV SCCL-Gajwel Quad Moose DC line atthe proposed 400kV Ramadugu SS, (ALT-2) there isli ht i t i th lt fil d EHTslight improvement in the voltage profile and EHT

System losses.

With th ti St ti d ll th li i• With the generating Stations and all the lines inOperation, the flows in the connected lines arenormal and within the limits and the voltages at theLIS S b t ti d 380 385 kV d NLIS Substations are around 380-385 kV and NewGenerating Stations are required to match theLoading conditions.

• From the contingency analysis, it can be observedthat SCCL generator is critical. In case of failure ofSCCL generation, the voltages at the proposedSCCL generation, the voltages at the proposedSubstations will be below the stipulated margins andwill not satisfy the planning criteria.

• As such in case of contingency the load shedding• As such, in case of contingency, the load sheddinghas to be resorted to at these pumping stations tillnew Generating stations are operational.

Annex-IV

STARTING EQUIPMENT AND METHOD OF STARTING-

To limit the starting power Water depression is envisaged during starting along with the STATIC FRQUENCY DRI VES (VFD ' s . Initially water will be depressed upto the bottom of the runner by keeping the wicket gates closed by admitting pressure air uniformly into the runner chamber. The power drawl at the time of starting is controlled by adopting the static frequency converter method of starting. The starting power is limited to around 6-8 % of the rating of the machine. Once water was depressed to the required level the Field will be applied to the rotor and SFC will be started.

This power is taken at 11 KV terminals of the S.F.C. transformer: The S.F.C. equipment is connected to S.F.C. transformer through which it is connected to 11 kv cubicles SF6 circuit through 11 kv breaker. The 11KVis stepped down to required voltage and is converted to D.C. through silicon control led rect i f i er circuit and again inverted to A.C. supply. This variable frequency and voltage is directly fed to the stator of motor through Breaker and Isolator. During this process, the output voltage and frequency are varied smoothly and fed to the stator of pump motor. Full field current is applied to the rotor just before variable frequency supply is fed to stator. When motor speed reaches to about 4% speed the voltage is again stepped up and fed to the stator of the motor. Application of low frequency supply to the motor results in slow start of the pump motor and drawl of power will be limited.

A f t e r the motor starts, the voltage and frequency of power supplied to the motor is increased (by the S .F .C. equipment) thereby increasing the torque and accelerating the pump motor. When the motor reaches 90% speed, the synchronizing equipment is switched on. Once the frequency and voltage matches to the grid system This will close the circuit breaker after synchronize check thus putting the machine on the grid supply. The S.F.C. is switched off. The Air from the runner chamber will be released by the release operation solenoid valve and then the wicket gates are opened and the pump starts pumping the water into the penstock. The load on the grid will rise to full value depending on grid frequency.

S.F.C. equipment requires 10 tol 5 minutes of cooling down time before it is applied for starting of next pump. This is not as limitation of the operation of the scheme and therefore it is sufficient to have one set of S.F.C. equipment. However to have redundancy 2nd set of all SFC equipment including SFC transformer are provided. Each S.F.C. transformer is of 12 M .V .A . capacity 1 I KV/4.1 6 to 6.6KV.
