B . F O L L O W U P A C T I O N B.1. ERRONEOUS RECORDING OF DATA BY SEMs. The constituents may give feedback in regards to the action taken by them to

eliminate the continued erroneous recording of energy by following meters: i) The CT Supply to meter UA-32 / NP-1789-A installed on 132 kV

Saharanpur-I feeder at PTCUL Roorkee is not proper since 0245 hrs block of 18.07.2006 after a shutdown. The meter is reading zero values without * marks since 0245 hrs block of 18.07.2006.

PTCUL representative was not present in the meeting. POWERGRID

expressed that PTCUL may be requested to charge the line to test meter accuracy .


POWERGRID/PTCUL may update the status.

ii) High negative losses are being observed on 220 kV Dehar–Kangu (8-10 %). CT/CVT supply at BBMB Dehar and HP Kangu need to be checked up on the above line.

BBMB informed that at present they have provided supply from

Bus CVT as stopgap arrangement but HPSEB need to procure and install their CVTs. HPSEB informed that it had started action for procurement of CVTs and it would take few months (3 to 4 months) to complete the work. HPSEB may update the status.

iii) High Negative losses are observed on all the five 400/220 ICTs at

NTPC Dadri. The meters installed on 400 kV side are reading more than those installed on the 220 kV side of the ICTs.

NTPC informed that after extensive field testing, they had not

found any abnormalities. Possible cause of this might be longer distance of control room from 220 kV switchyard.

NTPC requested POWERGRID to take testing of these meters to

check accuracy & calibrations and also assured full cooperation of NTPC in the matter. In the last sub- committee meeting it was decided that NTPC and POWERGRID would jointly discuss the issue and submit report to NRPC/NRLDC.

NTPC/POWERGRID may update the status.

iv) Huge Bus mismatch was observed at BBMB Ganguwal HPS from 16.11.2007. After enquiring over phone, it was confirmed by BBMB Officials that CT Ratio on 132 Kv Kotla-2 (GW-24/NP-1360-A at Ganguwal HPS had been changed from 400/1 to 600/1 on 16.11.2007. No such information was intimidated to NRLDC. Reading of meter HP-16/NP-1018-A installed on 33 kV Bilaspur-1 at Ganguwal HPS is continuously * marked since 22.10.2007. However after telephonic discussion it was confirmed that that reading is ok but reason for * marking is to be investigated. In the last meeting BBMB informed that meter was reading OK. There was confusion regading whether the meter has been changed. POWERGRID later confirmed that this meter has not been changed. MS,NRPC enquired about the problems in the faulty meters which was rectified by BBMB. As the BBMB could not explain in detail, it was decided that they would investigate the matter regarding faults/action taken to repair the meter with field staff and submit the


report to NRPC/NRLDC within 15 days time. No report has been received in NRPC. BBMB may update the status.

v) Negative losses on ICT-1 (3%) and ICT-2 at BBMB Panipat is 4.5-5.0 %. Bus mismatch at BBMB panipat is also high. It is seen from SEM data that 400 kV side of 400 /220 kV side ICT is not O.K. Data of 220 kV Dhulkote 1 & 2 feeders, 400/220 kV ICT1 & 2 (220 kV side) & 220/132 kV Transformer 1 &2 (220 kV side) is not matching. Necessary action may kindly be taken up for the investigation of above. In the last meeting, POWERGRID informed that BBMB had taken some action and two days backs informed that supply given through BUS-1 CVT and BUS 2 CVT was not in order and need to be replaced. NRLDC informed that CT terminals were short. MS, NRPC advised BBMB to investigate the reason for this and furnish report to NRLDC/NRPC. No report has been received in NRPC. BBMB may update the status.

vi) CVT Supply to meter HP-29/NP-1583-A installed on 132 kV Giri feeder

at BBMB Jagadhari is not proper since 06.08.2007. Readings are continuously * & low during the above period. It is informed by BBMB Jagadhari that 2 number CVTs installed on above line have been damaged on 20.05.2007 and replacement/repair of the same is required.

HVPN informed that there was no power flow on this line since

one year and decision to replace CVT would be taken only after deciding as to whether this line would be required in future or not. The bay presently had been used for other line. As this line being inter- state line between HP & Haryana, the matter would be discussed bilaterally between them. HVPN assured to convey the decision by next Commercial sub-committee meeting.

HVPN may update the status.

vii) High negative losses are observed on 220 kV PDD Hiranagar-PSEB

Sarna line. Necessary action may kindly be taken for the investigation of above Discrepancy. Also, the CT and CVT supplies to the meters installed at both the ends may please be checked and reported to NRLDC.

POWERGRID informed that Sarna side was OK as per information received from PSEB. It was decided in the last meeting that PSEB representative would coordinate this with J&K to sort out the matter.

PSEB/J&K may update the status.


viii) Negative losses are observed on ICT-1 and ICT-2 (3.0-3.2 %) at BBMB Sangrur. However main meters installed on 220 kV sides of these ICTs were used to compute the drawl of Punjab at BBMB Sangrur.

BBMB informed that PT supply was set right on 4.3.2008. NRLDC informed that now positive losses were appearing.As BBMB could not explain reasons of the same, It was decided in the last meeting that BBMB would obtain the detailed report from the field and submit it to NRLDC/NRPC.

BBMB may update the status.

ix) Losses on Jamalpur-Jalandher 1 is 5-6 %, Jamalpur-Jalandher 2 is 4 %. Jamalpur-Ganguwal-1 is 4 %. As per the report enclosed by BBMB- Chandigarh following are observed: At Jamalpur: R & B phase CVT voltage on Jamalpur-Jalandher 1 &2 is lower than Y phase

At Jalandher: R & B phase CVT voltage on Jalandher- Jamalpur 1 &2 is lower than Y phase

CVT may kindly be tested and action may be taken immediately to sort out the above discrepancy.

BBMB informed that there was problem in CVT of R&B phases and

these CVTs needs to be replaced. BBMB assured to replace it at the earliest. and in the last meeting BBMB assured to check the possibility of feeding SEMs through BUS CVT. MS, NRPC advised BBMB to look into cause of problem in four CVTs as it would be affecting protection system also.

BBMB may update the status x) CT/CVT Supply to meter UQ-21/ NP-5400-A installed on 400kV Lucknow

(PG) at 400 kV Sultanpur-UPPCL is not proper since commissioning. It’s direction is not ok from 00 Hrs of 28.12.2007, however magnitude is matching perfectly with other end meter NG-29, therefore meter UQ-21 with negative sign will be used this week to compute the UPPCL drawl on 400 kV PG lucknow line at UPPCL Sultanpur. CT & PT ratio has not received in writing even after so many requests from NRLDC. However as confirmed over telephone CT ratio of 1000/1 and PT ratio of 400 kV /110 V is used in database for energy computation of the above meter.

UPPCL informed that connection had been changed on 29.5.2008

and assured to confirm the CT and PT ratios in writing. UPPPCL to update the status.

xi) CT/CVT Supply to meter NR-24/NP-1106-A installed on 400 kV Bhiwadi at

Following discrepancies noted in the data received at NRLDC for the week 11th

Aug 2008 to 17th August 2008

(i) High Negative losses are observed on all the five 400/220 ICTs at NTPC Dadri. The meters installed on 400 kV side are reading more than those installed on the 220 kV sides of the ICTs. Power losses on the ICT are as given below:

Time mismatch has been observed on ICT-3 & 4 [Action: NTPC DADRI]

Agenda _Item B.1(iii)

(ii) Losses observed on ICT-1 and ICT-2 is 5 % (Positive) at BBMB Sangrur.

However main meters installed on 220 kV sides of these ICTs were used to compute the drawl of Punjab at BBMB Sangrur. Details of the losses are as below:

April 2007 Aug 2008

Feeder Name Losses Power flow (MW) Losses Power flow (MW)

220/66 kV ICT-1 (-) 4 % 35-45 MW (+)5 % 25-35 MW 220/66 kV ICT-2 (-) 4 % 35-45 MW (+)5 % 25-35 MW

Since power flow is less even a small difference in absolute value is

causing more difference in % term.BBMB is requested to findout the reason for the above difference. [Action: BBMB Sangrur] Agenda _Item B.1(viii)

(iii) Direction of meter BB-41/NP-5347-A installed on 66 kV side of 220/66 kV ICT-1

at BBMB-Ballabgarh is not proper from 00 hrs block of 12.05.2008 to 2345 hrs block of 17.08.2008. However being the standby meter its readings were not used to compute the drawl during the above period. [Action: BBMB Ballabgarh]

(iv) The Standby meters (installed on lines) are reading less than the Main Meters

(installed on Generators) by 4 to 5 % at BBMB Kotla. Letter was received from BBMB and wherein it was clarified that CVT is defective on 400 kV Ganguwal-Kotla line 1 & 2 and same will be replaced soonly. [Action: BBMB Kotla]

(v) Negative losses on ICT-1&2 at BBMB Panipat are 2.5-3%. Bus mismatch at

BBMB panipat is also high.A letter dtd 13.08.2008 having CT/CVT measurement report were received from BBMB Panipat .From the the letter and SEM data following points were observed:

April 2007 Aug 2008 Feeder Name Losses Power flow (MW) Losses Power flow (MW) ICT-1 0.25%-0. 3 % 200-300 0.5% 200-300 ICT-2 0.7 % 200-300 0.7% 200-300 ICT-3 0.4 % 200-300 1.0 % 200-300 ICT-4 0.5 % 200-300 0.8 % 200-300 ICT-5 0.5 % 200-300 0.5 % 200-300

1. CVT connected to meter on ICT (400 kV) side is reading 2-3 % less compared to 220 kV side causing the –ve losses of 2.5-3 %. 2. Losses on 220 kV Panipat-Charki-Dadri feeder is minimal .It is due to the fact that Blue phase CVT of charkhi dadri feeder is reading low. In conclusion we can say that: a) Either CVT of 400 kV side ICT is reading low or CVT of 220 kV side ICT is reading

high. b) Blue phase CVT of Charkhi dadri feeder is reading low. BBMB is requested to take necessary action for repair of CVT mentioned in column (a)

and (b). BB-07/NP-1415-A installed on 220/132kV ICT-1(220kV) at Panipat-BBMB was not available to NRLDC, the above ICT has been burnt and out of service as told over phone by BBMB. CT/CVT Supply to meter BB-09/NP-1417-A installed on 400/220kV ICT-1(220kV) at Panipat-BBMB is not proper from 1015 Hr block to 2345 hr block of 17.08.08. However being the standby meter it’s reading’s were not used. Action: BBMB Panipat] Agenda _Item B.1(V)

(vi) High negative losses were being observed on 220 kV Dehar –Kangu (8-14 %)

depending on the power flow on the line. To sort out the above problem CVT supply to all phase of 220 kV Kangu line at Dehar HPS has been given from Bus-2[As confirmed over phone from AE (O&M)] and since then losses on the above line has reduced.As confirmed in 5th CC by BBMB Dehar 2 No CVT are damaged at BBMB Dehar Repair/maintenance of same is under the scope of HPSEB. HPSEB has replied that they are procuring the CVT. HPSEB /BBMB may kindly give status of CVT procurement. [Action: BBMB Dehar/HP Kangu] Agenda _Item B.1(ii)

(vii) Readings of meter CH-13/NP-1426-A, CH-14 / NP-1427-A installed on 66 kV

Pinjore – 1 & 2 feeders at Sector – 28 Chandigarh [BBMB] have not been received at NRLDC.As reported from HVPNL 66 kV Pinjore-Sec 28 line-1 & 2 has been made LILO at Kishangarh and IT Park respectively. Metrs are already shifted but details of the meter and SEM data has not been received. [Action: BBMB, UT Chandigarh,Kishangarh,IT park]

(viii) CVT Supply to meter HP-29/NP-1583-A installed on 132 kV giri feeder at BBMB

Jagadhari is not proper since 06.08.2007. Readings are continuously * & low during the above period. However being the Standby meter, It’s readings were not used to compute the drawl. It is informed by BBMB jagadhari that 2 numbers CVT installed on above line has been damaged on 20.05.2007 and replacement/repair of the same is under process.HVPNL Has informed in th 7th Commercial meeting that power flow on this feeder is 0 since long and CVT will be repaired prior to power flow on the line.

Northern Regional Power Committee

SUPPLEMENTARY AGENDA FOR

9th MEETING OF COMMECIAL SUB-COMMITTEE TO BE HELD ON 05th SEPTEMBER 2008

C6. Overhead charges on AMC charges for wide band communication

equipment installed under ULDC scheme. HVPNL vide its letter No. 4/AMC/WB dated 29.08.2008 has requested inclusion of this agenda item. HVPNL have stated that the issue of overhead charges on AMC for various packages (SCADA/EMS, wide band communication, power supply, hardware etc.) was discussed in various meetings of Northern Regional Power Committee in the past. While constituents were of the opinion that uniform overhead charges shall be paid to PGCIL. Powergrid demanded that these charges shall be continued to be paid as agreed till the validity of the existing MoUs. After the expiry of the MOUs the charges would be brought at par with SCADA/EMS package. In the 8th Northern Regional Power Committee meeting held at Udaipur on 24th /25th April, 2008, it was decided as under:

“Member Secretary, Northern regional Power Committee stated that the constituents of Southern Region had agreed for 8% overhead charges on AMC of EMS/SCADA. However, constituents of Northern Region suggested for 8 % overhead charges for entire ULDC scheme including SCADA/EMS, RTU, Communication System, Power Supply etc.

After further discussions, it was decided that 8 % overhead charges could be given to PGCIL for AMC of SCADA/EMS system. For overhead charges on other AMCs existing arrangement would be continued.” The present MoU for AMC of wide band communication equipment installed under ULDC-NR project is expiring on 15th September 2008. Powergrid has forwarded a “side letter” to the MoU extending the validity of the same for a period of 10 years commencing 16.3.2004 i.e. for another 5 years without revising the overt charges for the AMC The matter was referred back to PGCIL but they have declined to amend the charges as requested HVPNL requested that as per discussions and decisions held in Northern Region Power Committee meetings, Powergrid should honour their commitment and revise the overhead charges for AMC of various packages after the expiry of MoUs to be at par with the overhead charges for SCADA/EMS packages i. e. @ 8 %. Members may like to discuss.
