for the 195th Meeting

to be held on 11th October 2022
 SOUTHERN REGIONAL POWER COMMITTEE (SRPC)
Agenda for 195th Meeting of Operation Coordination Sub-Committee
to be held on 11th October 2022 through VC
1. Introduction
2. The 195th Meeting of Operation Coordination Sub-Committee (OCC) of SRPC is scheduled on 11th
October 2022 through Video Conferencing.

3. Confirmation of the Minutes of 194th Meeting of OCC

The 194th Meeting of OCC was held on 12.09.2022 and the Minutes were issued on 19.09.2022.
The Minutes of the 194th Meeting of OCC may please be confirmed.
4. Over voltage phenomenon at different substations in Karnataka
POWERGRID's submission:
 Bus voltages in different Substations of Karnataka (especially in Tumkur, Hiriyur,
Narendra, Pavagada, and Mysore SS) are beyond the Voltage level specified in Grid
code (i.e. beyond 420KV) most of the times. 400 kV Transmission lines are being taken
out/in service in regular basis to control the over voltage. Due to high frequency of
switching of Lines, it is adversely affecting the equipment life.
 SRPC forum may please explore/suggest the possibility of adding necessary reactive power
control measures in this area to control the overvoltage.

SRLDC may study the case and present in the meeting.

This may please be deliberated.
5. Over loading of ICT's at Kalivinthapattu
POWERGRID's submission:
At present, there are 3 numbers of ICT's at Kalivinthapattu with total MVA capacity of
1130(2*315 +1*500). From March 2022 it is observed that ICT's at Kalivinthapattu are being
continuously overloaded most of the time. In case of outage of any one ICT, other ICTs will
trip on over loading as N-1 contingency criteria are not being fulfilled in the station. The issue
was taken up in 191st OCC and it was deliberated to further study and discussion.
This may please be deliberated.

6. Additional ICT at Mysore SS due to continuous over loading of Existing ICTs

POWERGRID's submission:
 In 2nd SRSCT meeting held on 10th June 2019, Director (PSPA-11), CEA, stated that,
KPTCL has planned to establish a 400/220kV sub-station at Kadakola in Mysru District
for relieving loads on 400/220 kV Bastipura sub-station (Mysuru) and to provide alternate
source of power supply to 220 kV sub-stations in and around Mysuru.

Agenda for the 195th Meeting of OCC (11.10.2022) Page 1 of 34

  In 187th OCC, CTUIL stated that the commissioning of 4th ICT at Mysore is an urgent
requirement to avoid disturbance in Mysore area. As commissioning of Kadakola
substation will take at least 24/30 month, the augmentation at Mysore substation with the
4th ICT, is very much required for the system to meet the peak demand in coming season.
 Since our ICT's (2*315+1* 500 MVA) at Mysore SS are continuously over loaded and
N-1 contingency is not being fulfilled; the proposal for augmentation Mysore substation
may please be deliberated. Space is available in Mysore SS. Plan and schedule to be
submitted after approval.
This may please be deliberated.
7. Replacement of 315 MVA ICT-2 at 400kV Nagarjunsagar Substation with
500MV ICT
POWERGRID's submission:
(i) At 400kV Nagarjunsagar Substation 315MVA ICT-1 & 2 consisting of 3x105MVA Single
Phase units were commissioned under RATL project during 1985 & 1989 respectively.
(ii) Due to various factors such as ageing effect (continuous service more than 33 years) and
delayed clearance of downstream faults etc. DGA parameters, Tan Delta value of
Bushings & winding etc. of ICTs are deteriorating.
(iii) On 24.02.2022, 21:29Hrs, Nagarjunsagar ICT-2 tripped on operation of B-Phase (Unit#
7) differential protection. Upon internal inspection of failed unit, deformation of winding
observed and is found beyond repairable. ICT was normalized by taking spare unit in
place of failed Unit #7.
(iv) It may please be noted that balance two single phase units in the transformer bank in ICT-
2 have also completed 33 years of service and experience similar kind of stress due to
down stream faults in its service life. Hence probability of failure of these units is also
high.
(v) In case of failure of any unit will lead to outage of ICT as there is no spare available for
this ICT.
(vi) Keeping in view the ageing of the ICT and future load growth, it is proposed to
replace old 3* 1 phase ICT-2 Bank at Nagarjunsagar Substation with a new 3 phase
500MVA ICT under Additional Capitalization in tariff block 2019-2024
This may please be deliberated.
8. Review of Maintenance schedule of Units (CGS/IPPs connected to ISTS)
(i) The outage schedules for the maintenance of various Generating Units are regularly
monitored in all OCC meetings and the Generators are requested to avoid frequent changes in
the outage planning. All the Generators are requested not to revise their AMP frequently
unless otherwise, if required, depending on that time Grid condition.

14. Restoration of 400kV/220kV KaigaICT-1 by KGS (out since02ndJuly 2022)
(i) KGS had reported that on 02.07.2022 400/220kV ICT-1 at KGS tripped on REF protection,
due to fault in Y-Phase transformer and would require around 6 – 8 months to rehabilitate the
ICT-1. Till that time evacuation of KGS 1&2 generation (400 MW) from 220 kV switchyard to
400 kV lines would be through ICT-2 only (501 MVA).
(ii) A meeting through Video Conferencing to discuss evacuation of power from Kaiga GS/KPCL
units due to the forced outage of one KGS ICT-1 was held on 18th July 2022 wherein It was
noted that the 6-8 months’ period proposed for the restoration of ICT-1 was too long
considering the evacuation constraints for Kaiga GS units 1 & 2, KPCL stations (Kadra,
Kodasalli & Nagjheri) and chances of grid disturbance in that area. Accordingly, KGS,
NPCIL was requested to fast track the restoration of ICT-1 and also to try for the
availability of single phase ICT with other utilities.KGS was also requested to ensure the
availability of one spare ICT (single phase) in the switch yard as mandated by Central
Electricity Authority (Technical Standards for Construction of Electrical Plants and Electric
Lines) Regulations, 2010.NPCIL had agreed to look into the matter to arrange spare as
mandated in the Regulation.
(iii) In the 43rd Meeting of SRPC (23.09.2022), the following had been noted:
 NPCIL had informed that tender have been floated for repair of ICT and technical bid is expected to be
opened by end of September 2022. Further discussions with BHEL are on for procurement of one more ICT

Agenda for the 195th Meeting of OCC (11.10.2022) Page 9 of 34

 (spare). NPCIL has taken this issue seriously and all efforts are being adopted to expedite the restoration of
ICT. After finalisation of the contract repair works will take 4-5 months and commissioning may be after 8-
9 months.

 TCC had advised NPCIL to expedite restoration of ICT and also to maintain spare ICT at KGS in com-
pliance of CEA Regulations.

(iv) MS, SRPC vide letter dated 26.09.2022(Annexure-10a) has taken up the issue with ACE
(Trans &Elec), NPCIL.

NPCIL/KGS may update the status.

operation. Any load tripped under ADMS should be brought back only under the
directions of SLDC keeping in view of the frequency, overdrawal etc.
(c) It was noted that the States could support the ADMS relief (feeder tripping) through
SOE. Incidence could be validated accordingly.
(d) All SLDCs to respond to the list of instances, enclosing SoE to confirm if ADMS acted
(e) The following Logic had been finalized in the 189th OCC for ADMS
implementation:
1. If Frequency < 49.85 Hz and OD>250 (150 MW for Kerala) for more than 15 min
then Stage-1 trip signal would be triggered (Expected relief of 200 MW for AP, TS,
KAR, TN. 100MW for Kerala).
2. After 10 minutes, if Frequency < 49.85 Hz and OD>250 MW (150 MW for Kerala),
then Stage-2 trip signal would be triggered (Expected relief of 200 MW for AP, TS,
KAR, TN. 100MW for Kerala).
3. After 10 minutes, if Frequency < 49.85 Hz and OD>250 MW (150 MW for Kerala),
then Stage-3 trip signal would be triggered (Expected relief of 200 MW for AP, TS,
KAR, TN. 100MW for Kerala).
Note: ADMS loads should not be restored until overdrawl and frequency is within IEGC
limits.
(f) Status of implementation of revised ADMS scheme (194th OCC):
 KSEBL and TANTRANSCO had implemented and submitted the feeder details.
 APTRANSCO had informed that New ADMS scheme will be operationalized for
275 MW from 19.09.2022. Testing completed for another 175 MW. However, this
175 MW could not be operationalized for want of annunciation configuration in
SAS stations. Balance 150 MW could not be tested due to SAS configuration
issues. AP SLDC SCADA officials are addressing the same.
 TSTRANSCO had reported that 210 MW was working. Daily monitoring and
reporting was being done under Stage-I. Second (163 MW) and Third stage loads
(100 MW) were identified and approved by DISCOMs. The rest (around 140 MW)
will be identified and approved after RTUS are procured. MS SRPC reiterated that
each stage, 200 MW needed to be implemented.
 KPTCL had informed that feeders are identified. Some issues are being faced in
populating the feeders to ADMS SCADA. Within 10 days partial population is
expected to be done. For MS SRPC query, 4 batches have been made and one by
one population is planned.
 SRLDC had suggested that ADMS for around48 MW in three stages maybe
planned by Puducherry. PED had informed that under reliable communication
scheme, RTUs are being procured, and as and when RTUs are installed ADMS
scheme will be taken up.
SRLDC/SLDCs may update the Status.

26. RGMO Performance Analysis

(i) All the generators to keep margin for RGMO response at any point of time and DC
should be declared accordingly. SLDCs to take care of this aspect while scheduling the
generators in their control area.
(ii) All the generators are requested to examine the reason for non-performance, poor response
and reverse response etc. and take remedial action to ensure adequate response in future.
SLDCs and SRLDC may take up with the generators under their control area in this regard.
(iii)All the generators should be loaded keeping the margin for RGMO response at any point of
time and DC should be declared accordingly. SLDCs also needed to take care of this aspect
while scheduling the generators in their control area.
SRLDC may present the summary of Incidence during September 2022.

27. MVAR Performance of generating units

(i) Generators to take necessary action for absorption of MVAR up to the Capability. OEMs
needed to be approached in case of less absorption and ensure MVAR absorption up to
Capability.

(ii) At any point of time injection of MVAR shall be strictly avoided if voltages are higher
than rated voltages. Tap position to be relooked wherever found feasible.

(iii) All the generators to analyze MVAR interchange on monthly basis and address the issues,
if any, with intimation to SRLDC/SRPC.

(iv) SLDCs/state generators to submit the MVAR analysis promptly and to present in the
performance analysis Meetings.

(v) In the 194th Meeting of OCC, all the SLDCs agreed to present MVAR performance
analysis of the generators in their control area in the special meeting to be convened
during October 2022.

29. Testing of Primary Frequency Response of Generators

i. Regulation 5.2 (g) of IEGC Regulations stipulate as follows:
"Provided that periodic checkups by third party should be conducted at regular interval
once in two years through independent agencies selected by RLDCs or SLDCs
as the case may be. The cost of such tests shall be recovered by the RLDCs or SLDCs from
the Generators. If deemed necessary by RLDCs/SLDCs, the test may be conducted more than
once in two year”
In compliance to above regulation NLDC on behalf of RLDCs has formulated a procedure for
carrying out the primary frequency response tests.POSOCO has identified two agencies (M/s
Solvina India Pvt. Ltd and M/s Siemens Ltd) for carrying out onsite testing of units under
RLDCs.
