As agreed during the 452ND OCC meeting the respective utilities were requested to
apprise the sub-committee regarding reason for failing to avail approved outages.
SE(Operation), WRPC pointed out that out of approved transmission outages bulk
quantum of outages are not availed by constituents even when there is no real time
condition problem. He further stated that after approving outages for particular date
for particular line, outage on parallel line or for the line in the same corridor is very
difficult owing to consideration of the fact that the approved outage would be availed
by that constituent. But non-availing of such outage by any constituent deprives other
constituent requiring important outage. Also, sometimes the outages for two agencies
are clubbed together with change in dates suitable to one agency. In case such
outage is not availed by the agency for whom the dates are suitable, other agency
unnecessarily have to shuffle their plan/manpower which cause trouble to them.
He requested constituents to restrict the proposal on outages to really required. The Sub-Committee noted as above.

9.4 ENSURING INJECTION FROM (MOUDA + IEPL + TIRODA) WITHIN 1750 MW
WRLDC informed that a meeting was convened by WRPC on 26th June 2013 for discussing the SPS for Wardha flow gate. It was decided in the meeting that the total injection by NTPC Mouda, APL Tiroda and IEPL would be limited within 1750 MW. It is being observed that the schedule issued by SLDC Maharashtra to Tiroda alone is around 1850 MW. Consequently the loading on 400 kV Warora-Chadrapur is 900-950 MW; loading on 400 kV Chandrapur-Chandrapur is 550-600 MW, loading on 400 kV Wardha-Akola D/C is 600-650 MW and loading on 400 kV Parli-Lonikhand is 500-550 MW each. The system is N-1-1 insecure and following actions are desirable from SLDC Maharashtra:
• Ensure that despatch schedule given to Tiroda as well as its injection in real-time is in line with the WRPC MoM ref. WRPC/Protection/SPS/2013-14/949 dated 27/06/2013.
• Ensure that the SPS of Tiroda is in operation • Coordinate to increase generation at South Western Maharashtra
(Koyna/Jaigad/RGPPL) to control the power flow on EHV lines in Maharashtra. MSETCL agreed to the above actions suggested by WRLDC.
Minutes of 453rd OCC meeting held on 15th November 2013
9.5 SPS IMPLEMENTATION STATUS:
9.5.1 SPS for 765 kV Gwalior-Agra D/C (Generation Run back Scheme in WR)
An SPS was envisaged for ensuring backing down WR generation by 500 MW ( VSTPS - 200 MW, KSTPS - 120 MW, CGPL - 180 MW) in case of sudden reduction of NR import from WR on Bina-Gwalior-Agra link by 1500 MW. The matter was already discussed in 449th, 450th and 451st OCC and 22nd WRPC meeting. During the 451st OCC NTPC intimated that they have got the approval from their corporate centre and it was decided to implement the same within a month. Regarding CGPL Power Grid representatives confirmed that tele-link was being provided at Mundra by them. 9.5.2 SPS at APL Tiroda
WRLDC intimated that further subsequent to the synchronization of 400 kV Warora-Chandrapur-stg-II line -1, it is proposed that the logic at SPS needs to be revised as under:
In addition to above action curtailment of drawal by Maharashtra would also be required either by increasing generation on South-west Maharashtra or distress load shedding in South Maharashtra.
Contingency Desired automatic action through SPS
1 Tripping of 400 kV Warora-Chandrapur-stg-2 when the total powerflow on Wardhaflowgate plus 400 kV Warora-Chandrapur-stg-2 is more than the limit set for Wardhaflowgate.
Trip one unit of APL Tiroda
2 Tripping of either 400 kV Wardha-Parli D/C Trip one unit of APL Tiroda
3 Tripping of one ckt of 400 kV Wardha-ParliD/C and one ckt of 400 kV Wardha-Akola D/C
Trip one unit of APL Tiroda
4 Tripping of 400 kV Wardha-Akola D/C Immediate Generation backing by 260 MW on running units at Tiroda
Minutes of 453rd OCC meeting held on 15th November 2013
Member Secretary, WRPC stated that a separate meeting is to be called on 18.11.2013 to resolve the above issue. Subsequently a meeting was scheduled and held on 18.11.2013 at WRLDC (minutes are enclosed at Annexure-9.4) wherein following two cases were discussed and concluded as follows:
A) 400kV Chandrapur-Warora ckt in service :
1) SLDC Maharashtra may take appropriate manual actions (such as generation pickup at Koyna, RGPPL and Parli and control generation in Wardha pocket) to relive the congestion of the corridor and load shedding in Western Maharashtra as a last resort.
2) The short term schedules shall be curtailed in the event of crossing of the margins as per the regulatory frame work.
3) Since the sensitivity of APL Tiroda generation to the Wardha flow gate is significantly low in case of Warora Chandrapur ckt in service, therefore WRLDC would suggest the factor by which the generation of APL Tiroda is required to be backed down (if it is found that the effect of backing down of generation at APL Tiroda under such condition is effective in controlling the flow through Wardha flow gate) to control incremental flow on Wardha flow gate this additional set of logic will be incorporated.
B) 400kV Chandrapur-Warora ckt out of service : 1) The SPS suggested in the 26.06.2013 meeting shall be in operation such that
in the event of tripping of Warora Chandrapur line backing down of 600MW at APL Tiroda shall be wired up. All other settings/conditions decided in the 26.06.2013 meeting shall be same.
2) In the event of tripping of Warora Chandrapur line, POWERGRID shall automatically bypass FSC on one circuit of Raipur-Wardha line.
3) This arrangement shall be implemented till the 2nd ckt of Warora Chandrapur and LILO of 2nd ckt of Chandrapur-Parli at Chandrapur-II is commissioned.
Member Secretary, WRPC further intimated that the above suggestions/modifications in the SPS of Wardha flow gate will be reviewed after synchronization of the 400kV Warora-Chandrapur ckt 2 and LILO of 2nd ckt of Chandrapur-Parli at Chandrapur-II.
Sub-Committee noted as above.
Minutes of 453rd OCC meeting held on 15th November 2013
9.5.3 SPS at 4x300 MW Balco IPP The SPS at Blaco was scheduled for commissioning by Nov 2013 after commissioning of first unit of 4x300 MW Balco IPP. It was also reported that as a consequence of disconnection from Chattisgarh, a revised islanding scheme would be in place at Balco. Further as per MOM of 17th meeting of WR regarding connectivity/OA applications held on 03.01.13, Balco was asked to implement SPS to trip selected units from 4x135MW in case of load throw off of Aluminium refinery load. Balco representative intimated that SPS at Balco will be implemented at the end of November 2013.
9.5.4 Defense mechanism for high frequency The status of implementation automatic tripping of generation at KSTPS (unit-7:500 MW), VSTPS (unit-7: 500 MW), CGPL (unit-10: 830 MW), was discussed in the meeting. CGPL representative intimated that they have already implemented the tripping at CGPL unit at high frequency. NTPC representative intimated that Vindhyachal and Korba proposal sent to their corporate office for engineering approval. 9.5.5 SPS at Sipat: As discussed in 449th OCC and subsequently in the special meeting of WRPC on 3-Sep-13 at TAPS 3&4 regarding review and formulation of SPS and islanding schemes in WR grid, NTPC Sipat, ACBIL, PGCIL were requested to submit the status of implementation of the proposed SPS for reliable operation of Sipat units.

SRTS-1 is mobilizing manpower of 1600-2000 people for carrying out the
maintenance of the Talcher-Kolar D/C lines and crossing of new lines over the D/C
lines. The outage of the above HVDC link would reduce the transfer capability
between the NEW grid and Southern Grid. Proposal for planned outage of other
transmission elements which would affect the transfer capability in that corridor shall
be avoided on those days. This is for kind information of all Users/Utilities in Western
Region.
The Sub-Committee noted as above.
Minutes of 453rd OCC meeting held on 15th November 2013
ITEM NO.9.9.1 SYNCHRONIZATION OF SR- NEW GRID WRLDC intimated that as per the latest information received by them, synchronization of SR with NEW grid is to be conducted between December 22 to 27, 2013. Following points were discussed towards preparedness for smooth synchronization of SR – NEW grid .
• Testing of Frequency Response of HVDC Controllers of Chandrapur HVDC Back to back. Power Grid WRTS 1 to intimate the entire Scheme and a suitable date for conducting the same.
• The status of 765 KV S/c Raichur – Solapur transmission system and transmission elements like Line Reactor, Bus reactors required during time of synchronization.
• Readiness of 2nd circuit of 765 KV S/c Raichur – Solapur line. As per information available this line is being constructed by M/S RSTCL
• Status of installation PMUs at Sholapur required for observation of any oscillation during synchronization to be discussed .As per information available, PMU has been already installed however its communication link up to WRLDC is yet to be established. Power Grid WRTS1 to indicate the present status.
• Implementation of both instantaneous as well as time-delay SPS. The present status of installation of this SPS.
• Implementation of UF Load shedding Relay Settings from 49.2 Hz to 48.6 in 4 stages by WR Constituents as per National Power Committee.
• Shut downs of Lines and ICTs during the period 22nd to 27th of December 2013 to be avoided for smooth synchronization.
AGM, WRLDC intimated that first ckt of 765 kV Raichur-Solapur would be synchronized by December 2013 end and power transfer flow would be limited to 400MW initially whereas Second ckt of 765 kV Raichur-Solapur shall be expected to synchronized in the month of April 2014 and power would be increased gradually taking grid security in to account.
Member Secretary, WRPC intimated that Member GO&D had submitted action plan
to MOP regarding the synchronization of SR with NEW grid. Following salient
aspects are covered in action plan.
1. Implementation of recommendation of protection audit of under frequency
load shedding relays settings as per National Power Committee.
2. Installation of Special Energy Meters and PMUs at Solapur and Raichur ends
Minutes of 453rd OCC meeting held on 15th November 2013
3. Design and implementation of SPS for Solapur‐Raichur 765 kV lines
4. Review of SPS for Talcher‐Kolar HVDC bipole.
5. Testing of frequency controller response of HVDC controllers of the
Chandrapur btb, Gazuwaka btb and Talchar‐Kolar HVDC bipole links.
6. PGCIL shall submit the complete action plan.
He opined that local generation should be identified for tripping of units under SPS, i.e.
for Talcher – Kolar HVDC, the generations in ER should be identified.
WRLDC proposed that the KSK & JPL generation back down shall be chosen for SPS
at Solapur‐Raichur 765 kV lines as their station have PPA’s with SR constituents.
Member Secretary, WRPC stated that KSK and JPL representatives are not present,
therefore SPS for Solapur‐Raichur 765 kV lines would be designed after consent
received from KSK and JPL. Also testing of frequency controller on Chandrapur-
Ramagundam HVDC needed to be carried out urgently and needed to be coordinated
with frequency controller of Talcher-Kolar and Jaypore-Gazuwaka HVDC lines.
He stated that synchronization of SR with NEW affects the flow gate like Wardha &
Bhilai considerably and flows on various lines of MSETCL would alter and therefore
need detailed preparation. He stated that synchronization with single 765 kV raichur-
Solapur does not comply to N-1 contingencies and it would be difficult to control flow
by three HVDC link. Tripping of any single/double pole& mis operation of SPS would
lead to wide spread disturbance. Constituents also expressed concern over single line
synchronization attempt. Member Secretary stated that concern would be
communicate to Member GO&D, CEA and NLDC.
Sub Committee noted as above. ITEM NO.9.9.2 SHUTDOWN REQUEST FOR HVDC B2B VINDHYACHAL SUBSTATION

Minutes of 453rd OCC meeting held on 15th November 2013
ITEM NO 9.10 NOT INFORMING TO SLDC KALWA REGARDING MAJOR SYSTEM OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED BY WRLDC TO PGCIL S/S IN MAHARASHTRA.
CE, SLDC Kalwa, Maharashtra intimated vide letter dated 11.11.2013 that WRLDC
control room had instructions to PGCIL S/s in Maharashtra directly without giving any
information to SLDC Kalwa. Following two such instances which had major impact of
power flow in Maharashtra network are mentioned below :
1. On dated 10th Nov. 2013, 400 KV Parli(PG)-Pune(PG) II was taken in service at
2018 Hrs and 400 KV Parli(PG)-Pune(PG) – I was taken in service at 2151 Hrs.
Effect : Power flow on 400 KV Chakan-Lonikand and Pune(PG) – Kalwa
reversed, load on Parli-Lonikand reduced. Load on 220 KV Talegaon(PG)-
Talegaon(MS) S/C increased to 280 MW.
2. On dated 11th Nov. 2013 at about 1040 Hrs. FSC on 400 KV Raipur-Wardha
taken in sevice.
Effect : Flow on 400 KV Chandrapur-Warora ( S/C quad line ) increased from
850 MW to 1128 MW, flow on Chandrapur-II – Chandrapur-I ( S/C twin moose
line ) increased from 360 MW to 685 MW. Flow on 400 KV Raipur-Wardha D/C
increased from 950 MW to 1450 MW. APML generation reduced from 1950
MW to 1650 MW. Maharashtra over drawl increased by 300 MW.
Any switching operation in CTU network connected to Maharashtra system has major
impact on power flow and many times loading on lines become critical. Only after
enquiry with WRLDC control room by SLDC Kalwa switching events are informed. It is
informed that FSC was taken in service to improve voltages in South Maharashtra,
please note that 400 KV Solapur-Kolhapur-I, Kolhapur-Mhapusa-II, RGPPL-
Nagothane-I & RGPPL-Newkoyna-II lines were out of service in south Maharashtra.
Voltage profile could have been improved by taking these lines in service.
In integrated system any switching event in CTU network has impact on entire state
network and required to be carried out in coordination with state SLDC.

OTHER ITEMS FROM POWER GRID
SA-1 MOU for Tapping of Auxiliary Power supply from tertiary of 400/220/33 kV Transformer in POWERGRID sub-station.
The ICTs in various POWERGRID substations having 33 kV Bushings which are
connected to AC Distribution Board through 33 kV/440 V Transformers. The Power
supply through this Transformer is tapped whenever the requirement arises.
Generally, the back up supply in event of the Auxiliary supply is provided through
DG Set. In case of failure of DG Set, power is taken from 33 kv of ICT.
In this context, it is to intimate that the 765 kV Station at Solapur is under construction
and likely to be commissioned by December end. The station will have the line
coming from Raichur in Southern Region. This will connect POWERGRID
SOUTHERN REGION and WESTERN REGION directly and the entire power system
of India will have one frequency.
Further, the Solapur sub-station would be the most important station and the failure of
AC power supply to the sub-station will affect the reliability of the station.
The MOU for tapping of power through 33 kV side of the Transformer needs to be
addressed by local MSETCL and MSDCL offices.
SLDC, MSETCL assured to look in to the matter & advised the PGCIL to consult with local Discom to short out the issue.

• 400 kV Main Bus I at Deepnagar got tripped with operationof Bus bar protection due to bursting of B phase Main Bus 1side connected CT for Station transformer 4B.
• Unit 4 and Unit 5 of Deepnagar also tripped resulting inp g pp ggeneration loss of 458 MW
Issues
• During the previous occurrence on 4th July 2013 atDeepnagar ICT 1 Main CB was kept off and since then itDeepnagar , ICT 1 Main CB was kept off and since then itseems that ICT 1 was connected to Main Bus I only via tie CB.In the two months span the problem was not corrected is ofserious concern. It reduces the advantage provided by theOne and half circuit brekaer scheme for reliability.
• Reson for keeping the Main CB of 400 kV Deepnagar‐bhusawal II need to be explained . This circuit could havebeen saved if the main CB was on.
• This is the third occurrence after the incident of 22nd Mayand 24th May at 400/220 kV Deepnagar S/s During theand 24th May at 400/220 kV Deepnagar S/s. During theprevious occurrence it was observed that severalequipment failed causing loss of generation
