The issue of having reserves and AGC was discussed in the 3% meeting of National Reliability Council for Electricity (NRCE} on 18.2014, The issue wi highlighted by CERC in 2015 by specifying road map for reserves, Many meetings and workshops related to AGC were held in the regions. In the year 2017, there was a petition by NLDC before CERC for AGC implementation, ‘which resulted in a pilot project at NTPC Dadri that is being fnctional since January, 2018. It is known that after disturbance, system inertia plays a role on frequency, followed by primary respanse (governor action), secondary response (e.g, AGC) and tertiary response (e.g. RRAS). Though governor action ‘will improve the frequency, but a secondary response is required to restore the frequency to its nominal value. 175 GW of RE is expected br 2022 which would take the penetration level above 30%. So, this issue demands some better control of frequency and interchanges for system reliability and security ‘The meeting is being conveyed for obtaining the views and feedback from the constituent members for further course of action.

In order to falitate inie-siate power varwactions andthe evelopment of regional grids, Govt. of India funded consruction of a numberof inter-state lines. Subsequently mul-benefciary Central Sector gonorating stations were develyped by utes hike NTPC, NHPC etc slong with associated transmission sytem for evacuation o* power. The concept of ena csy accounting (err known a laa astumting) ws devdeped with boundary ‘metering ofall contol areas, Till ae nineties, power system was planned on regional self-sufficiency basis and there were very few inter-regional links. With more and more inter te-connectons coming up, tho focus now shifted to formation ofa stong National Grid. Initially, HVDC wat used to interconnect fo regions, eg, NR-WR, NR-ER, WR-SR, ec. Gradually, AC interconnections also came up and by Aiygust 2006, all regional grids except SR were interconnected synehroncusly into to synchronous systems Known as NEW and SR Grids. The stoag HVDC links connecting the NEW grid 10 Southern region are extensively used for optimizing power flows in the NEW grid. With strong AC ‘commestons between the regions consiuing the NEW grid as well as extensive use of HVDC links in real time operation, inex-regional schedeles lost any physical relevance. All the five regional ‘rds in the country were progressively interconnected using AC links and thse are now operating 4s one synchronism system since December 2013. The situation has become more complicted With ‘iret HVDC connections between NER and NR. 2, Existing Scheduling, Metering, Accounting and Setlement Systems Availablity Based Tariff (ABT) was implemented in stages starting with Western Region in July 2002. With implementation of ABT, the concept of Unscheduled Interchange (U7) pool eame up and all RLDCs stastod operating fepional Ul pool accounts, which were subsequently known a6 the “Regional Deviation Accounts”. Deviations fiom the schedules are computed using the act Injection drawal for using boundary motoring for cach contol arca. Based on dovstions from schedule, uilites pay UI ebarges to or receive UI charges from the regional Ul pool account, ‘Short term open access in intor-sato transmission was introduced in May 2006 and with this, scheduling of market-based tradesranactons also commenced.

In his regard, the following methodology is proposed. (@) Scheduling: Corrdor-vise (eg, ER-NR, etc) scheduling of inter-regional transactions is presently being cared out. However, actual power flows as per the laws of physic. Incase of folletive transactions, one to one corespondeace of source and sik i not there and scheduling ‘on a particular inter-regional coridor may at best be notional. Hence, thee is @neod to migrate to scheduling interregional tansactions on net basis for each region, However, while sccepting the tanstctions for scheduling, comidorwise TTCIATClavalabt margin el. may be duly taken care of Interregional corrdor-wise schedules ray also be continued based ot the ‘Physical power flow pattems asthe same is usfl for grid security monitring and checking for fany diverepancies, NEDC shall communicate the net inte-egional sched othe NPC for the purpose of accounting. Schedules for cross-border transactions shall also be prepared by NLDC on # net-basis to Tiilate accounting of eoss-border transactions by the NPC. However, dividual schodules of ‘ational Emegy Account Notional Deviation Poo!

(©) Metering: The existing practice for metering ofthe inter-regional points shill continu as per the IBGC and the SEM data shall be collected by the RLDCs, processed and mado available to the PCs. In aditon, the processed meter data shall also be made available t the NPC through LDC. A similar practice shall be adopted forthe ros-border metering locations, where the processed meter dta shall be provided by the respected RLDCs tothe RPC and NPC (irough NLDC). (6) Accounting & Settlement: Based on the scheduling and meter dat provided, NPC stall prepare the National Energy Account (NEA) including the National Deviation Aecount for tho iter regional and trans-national transactions, The NEA will reflect the payableteceivabls for each region om a not hass and this amount shall be payableroccivable tothe Nasional Deviation Poo! ‘Account which sall be operated by NLDC. The NEA shall ls refloct tho :ross-borda or eas tational transactions and the neighboring countree sball be payingocsiving to/from the National Deviation Pool Account operated by NLC. Payment tothe National DSM Poo! shall have the highest priority. Inthe futur, multateral transaction between ncighboring countries are also envisaged under the SAARC framework e.g, Bangladesh may purchase power from Nepal or Bhutan through India. Neighboring counties may also participate in a designated Power Exchange for c10s border transactions in the future. For scheduling and setlement of such trasactions, te all-India loss figures would nood to bo declared upfront by NLC. () Handling SurplusDefict im Regional Pool Accounts and transfer of residual to PSDF: As ‘has already boen mentioned above, sometimes the reginal DSM pool ray face shortfalls on account of disbursal for reliability support such RRAS, FRAS, AGC, of im accordance with the relevant regulations of CERC. Once the National DSM Pool Secures operational, all residul/surpiu amount i the regional DSM pools sal he transfered to te National DSM pool aevount. The NPC accounts would als feiitte the transfer of funds from the surplus available inthe National DSM pool to the deficit regional DSM pool accounts ata single transction thereby simplifying the process. Once all liniities have been met, any residual in National DSM Pool shall be transfered. porodically 10 the PSDF in accordance wih the extant CERC Regulations. ‘A sample illustration of the flow of funds between different regional DSM poo! accounts to the national DSM pool aecoun! and that with the neighboring countries is shown at Annex I, Suiiable changesmodifcations are required tobe carried out inthe IEGC and DSM Regulations end ‘he functions af NPC also neod to bo recognized in the regulatory framework. ‘National Berg Acco & Nason Devison Pool Acct Page 6 of 6 ‘Aza Noe orb Mating of be Naot Powe Cmte (NPC), 308 Nore 208, Gwarmons wing seq enssay uo SE-EOTT 61 BT-€0-50 Hem atduues I-xouuy,sgt Aed 01 ¥aN srpay IY PU foe eh lel INO NT sone Aed oo uM 49 9 anja991 01 UN, siseq jenss0y uo 8T-€0-TT ©3 8T-£0-S0 129m ajdwesAnnexuve=Xx—— ae : Pope ye) Sublet Adtonal Agoda netng ot NP, atoning eae tema ny ones nthe agen orforthcoming mesthgor NBC: ~ P88 tuning OS tna itt pty 150 Moth Ps hae not bn taned fw ne east redo gana a aR mh net 12 months and submit Neat 'NRLOC and CTU; the results ot ‘he Step Response TestPoge(x) 2) IPS ha been tune cr Stop Reaponse Test has Ban caas ct cin lat 12 ‘months, he genraing company shea submit to NRPC, NRUDC and STU te ‘esuls ofthe Step Response Teat within one meth 9) H reste of Step Response Tet nda sufient damping, neraing company ‘ell pvtormed next Sep Test afer tree year er at to Um of tafe ‘verhauling ofthe machine, whichever wit bs ear 4) Generating Compares would arrango fr re-tning cf PSS, i tap Response Tost tncoates insufichent camping or oscars, 7) In some of he ganeratng units K may nt be feast tune PSS.

While the individual testing and ‘reports were made available to the concerned generating stations immeciately, @ combined report of the full exercise after completion could nat be produced, This ‘was partly because ofthe fact that asthe project moved into the next phase, ‘ewer situations were emerging and took the focus At present an attempt is made to compile allthe information from memory about ‘the testing and sharing of the experience gained by the PSS Tuning exercise. 50 this reports more like shating of the experiences of PSS Tuning exercise in Wh, from an individual perspective SS file tuning began in WR in 2003. During the fel trials of PSS Turing exercise | WR, Dr A.M. Kulkarn,HT-B (consuitant) and Shi K Parthasarathy, Manager, BHEL and shri Satyanarayan.s, SE WRPC, were associated in the PSS tuning field trials a all the stations in WR, The generating station excitation tear gave al the support and made the tuning a great success. Inthe initial stages, all ulity ‘engineers would participate inthe tuning exercise, Two training sessions were ‘organized in IT, Electrical Engg Dept, by Dr A.M. Kulkarni and their team, for Famliarizetion with al the issues involved. The progress of PSS Tuning exercise as regularly reported inthe WREB/WRPC meetings. After the rid disturbance of 2012, the role and importance of tuning F5S on ‘generators, tuning TCSC damping controllers, HVDC damping controlle's has been increasingly fet. While these controllers can positively influence the stability when done correctly they can, equally harm, if it correctly tuned or be notefficacious ifthey are il-tuned, Hence the tuning af these complex controllers, should be done systematically and properly and with a scientific approach, Scope of PSS Tuning: PSS Tuning can be done to lmprove the poor damping observed inthe inter-area modes of oscllations o local mode oscillations without destabilizing the synchronaus torque or interfering into the scope of the functions ‘of the AVR. Further PSS comes into action only when there ae changes that ‘originate from the grid side, Manual changes in generation usually byaass the PSS
