 What is ABT and Why?

Grid problems till 2000 : Wide frequency deviations, uncontrolled drawal by states , undisciplined
generation (higher generation during night hours to achieve total generation targets , frequent
blackouts/ grid disturbances , grid voltage issues etc.

Inter – State ABT mechanism introduced at Central Level in 2001, namely Unscheduled Interchange
(UI) mechanism
Further, modified as Deviation Settlement Mechanism (DSM) since February 2014.

The Forum of Indian Regulators (FOIR) upon recommendations of its sub-committee acknowledged
that State Electricity Regulatory Commissions are competent to determine mechanism for
introduction of Availability Based Tariff mechanism at State level,

However, it needs to be ensured that Intra-State ABT mechanism is compatible with inter-State ABT
mechanism.

The clause 5.7.1(b) of National Electricity Policy (NEP) notified by Central Government mandates the
Appropriate Commissions to introduce Availability Based Tariff (ABT) mechanism at State level.

MERC introduced Intra-state ABT mechanism in Maharashtra vide order in case no 42 of 2005 dated
17th May, 2006 , however Generating companies were excluded from the settlement mechanism

 Changes in Intra-state ABT mechanism under
Deviation Settlement Mechanism Regulation, 2019
similar to CERC mechanism
 Changes in Intra-state ABT mechanism as per Deviation Settlement Mechanism, Regulations
2019 similar to CERC mechanism

Hon’ble Commission has issued the Deviation Settlement Regulations, 2019 for introduction of Deviation
Settlement Mechanism in Maharashtra , in line with CERC mechanism.
• DSM under these Regulations shall be applicable for all seller(s), including OA generators, captive generators

(excluding In-Situ captive generators) connected to Intra-State Transmission System but excluding wind and

solar generating station(s).

• ‘Deviation’ in a time-block for Seller (i.e. generator) = Total actual injection – (minus) Total scheduled

generation.

• The Commission had proposed to implement this DSM Framework in phased manner by April 2020

considering implementation period of 12 to 15 months , to allow adequate time for all key stakeholders

including MSLDC for preparedness and to provide sufficient time to set up necessary hardware/software and to

undertake pilot test runs.

• As per the original schedule, the Regulations was to become applicable from 1 st April, 2020.However due

to Covid-19 difficulties and as the DSM software was not stabilised the implementation was postponed.
 MERC DSM Regulation 2019 for Intra-State ABT
• Deviation = Actual Injection - Scheduled Generation

•IEGC frequency Band 49.85 – 50.05 Hz.

• The deviation charges are to be paid for

1. Deviation of actual energy w.r.t. to scheduled energy
2. Additional charge for Volume deviation beyond 12% of schedule or above 50 MW , whichever is lower
3. Additional Charge for violation of sign change stipulation -- presently not applicable not notified yet

• The price for the deviation i.e. Deviation Price or DSM vector is linked to Daily Area Clearing Price (ACP)
for the Power Exchange as daily published on NLDC (National Load Despatch Center website). This price will
be applicable for 50 Hz.
• Deviation Price rate changes daily . Ceiling for Cap rate is 394.35 paise/unit for domestic coal based units
and also APM gas based units.

• Volume limit of generator is 50 MW or 12 % of Schedule , whichever is lower

• Additional charges at rate of 20%, 40%, 100% of applicable Deviation Charges in steps of deviation [ 12%-
15%, 15%-20%, > 20% (when SG =< 83.33 MW) ] or [ 12% of SG to 12% of SG +10 MW , 12% of SG +10 MW to
12% of SG + 20 MW , above 12% of SG + 20 MW ( for 416.66 MW >SG >83.33 MW) ] or [ 50-60 MW, 60-70 MW, >
70 MW (when SG > =416.66 MW) ]
Additional condition for a change in sign of the deviation shall be met once every 6-time blocks by
Buyer/Seller, failing which, additional charges @20% of the Deviation Charges on daily base DSM payable/
receivable as the case may be shall be levied for the duration of continuance of violation.

 •Specific modalities for Intra-state Generators :

•Declaration of Day Ahead capacity by 09:00 Hrs every day.

•Deviation for Seller shall be computed by MSLDC for each time block and accounted on
weekly basis.
•While computing deviation the Sellers whose Tariff / PPA/MoU/Bilateral Agreement or any
contractual arrangement is Unit-wise, Deviation for such Seller(s) shall be computed Unit-wise.
In case of Sellers whose contractual arrangement is Station-wise, the Deviation for such Seller(s)
shall be computed Unit-wise, however the deviation charges shall be computed Station-wise.
•The Volume limit for individual station/unit is 50MW or 12% of Scheduled generation,
whichever is lower.
•Revised DC will be applicable from 4th block from intimation of change through
Scheduling software
•In case of Hydro stations > 25 MW, at the time of Deviation charge computations, the
Actual generation will be considered as the Scheduled generation i.e. no Deviation charges to be
paid / received for Hydro stations. However , other provisions like submission of technical details
for registration, Declaration of DC are applicable for Hydro stations also.

Continued..
 •Specific modalities for Intra-state Generators :

•Total deviation for a station /unit over the day should not exceed 1% . In case of violation of this
limit, 20% additional charge of daily DSM is to be paid. – Yet to be notified
•No over-injection of electricity by any Seller shall be permissible when grid frequency is “50.1 Hz
and above”
•Additional condition for a change in sign of the deviation shall be met once every 6-time blocks by
Buyer/Seller, failing which, additional charges @20% of the Deviation Charges on daily base DSM
payable/ receivable as the case may be shall be levied for the duration of continuance of violation.
To illustrate, if a state entity has positive deviation from schedule, i.e. from 07.30hours to9.00 hours,
sign of its deviation from schedule shall be changed in the 7thtime block, i.e. 9.00 hours to 9.15 hours either
from positive to negative or from negative to positive. The additional Charge for violation of sign change
stipulation shall be leviable for each such violation during a day from the date to be notified separately by
the Commission.
•The issue regarding DSM charges being levied when the units are under “zero schedule shutdown” /
RSD was raised by MSPGCL. Thus Hon’ble Commission has modified the provision and now. When all
the units are under Zero schedule shutdown or RSD , there will be no DSM charge computed.

 Virtual State Entity

Every intra-state entity under DSM Regulation has to Register with MSLDC and furnish all
relevant technical details.

In Day ahead scheduling de-centralized MoD will be run i.e. MoD within contracted
generators of concern Discom.

In real time operation, any Discom is deviating from drawl schedule more than allowed limit
or on revision of its contracted generator effecting on availability of concern Discom, De-
centralized MoD will be run to match load-generation balance.

During intra-day operation, Centralized MoD is required to be run considering the grid
parameters including frequency, voltage, transmission line loading, substation loading
conditions or State volume limits to maintain the Load-Generation balance and comply with
conditions stipulated under IEGC and State Grid Code or on direction from WRLDC.

During Centralized MoD run schedules of the Generators are subjected to revision, even if
concern Discom is not requiring the power enhanced or reduced for its generators.

A Virtual State Entity (VSE) is created, such enhancement or reduction of power due to
Centralized MoD shall be allocated to (VSE) and settlement will be between VSE and
Generator at prevalent DSM rate.

Recovery of energy charge under DSM
Provision in MYT Regulations for consideration of DSM charges for Annual
Revenue requirement

39
 Expected impact on recovery

A) ENERGY CHARGE = Schedule x EC

Based on Scheduled Generation and Drawl and NOT on actual generation and Drawl
B) Deviation Price (previously Unscheduled Interchange Charge)
Deviation charge = (Act. Gen.- Sch. Gen.) x Deviation Price as per DSM Vector.

Case 1 : Below freq. of 50 Hz , the deviation price ramps from Rs.3.09 /unit at a rate of 30.68 paise per 0.01 Hz.
(subject to cap rate of 3.943 / unit for domestic coal based units)
It will be better to increase the generation above the Schedule to the extent possible . As the Deviation will be
positive, there can be additional recovery . If the actual fuel cost per unit is lower than Deviation Price, this will
give additional gain. However, it is to be noted that in case of generation lower than schedule, the penalty will
also be at the same rate.
Case 2 : Above freq. of 50.05 Hz , the deviation price is 0 (zero) .
It will be better to reduce the generation below the Schedule , to the extent possible. As there will be no Deviation
Price, the total recovery will be at Scheduled energy , there will be saving in fuel expense to the extent of
generation below schedule. Generation more than schedule under such circumstances will lead to non
recovery of fuel cost for such excess generation.

 Provisions / relaxations provided by Hon’ble
Commission for DSM Go-live w.e.f. 10.10.2021
Sharing of experience and learning from operations during trial run

1. Though the DSM Regulations, 2019 were expected to be implemented from 1 st April, 2020, due to

difficulties in finalisation of the DSM Software, the implementation was delayed. However, due to

considerate and supportive approach taken by Hon’ble Commission , the delay has proved to be

fruitful in smooth implementation of DSM.

2. The formation of Working Group Committee as per instruction of Hon’ble Commission and pro-active

actions taken by the Working committee has helped in providing adequate period for proper testing

of the software . Also through regular interactions in DSM Working Group Committee meetings, the

difficulties faced by the stakeholders were discussed in details along with possible solutions.

3. Based on such discussions, Hon’ble Commission has provided necessary clarifications /

amendments on many contentious issues and has even provided stabilization period of 6 months

after Go-live.

… Conti. 46
 Sharing of experience and learning from operations during trial run

4. This has helped to over-come many of the issues/ difficulties of the utilities , especially generators,

and utilities could improve the ground-level preparedness.

5. The extended time period helped MSPGCL in better understanding of the new system , increasing

awareness amongst the station staff and taking appropriate corrective actions at Station level to

improve preparedness .

6. Due to the support provided by Hon’ble Commission as well as DSM Working Group , the plant

operations after DSM Go-live are much smoother as compared to the expectations regarding

heavy DSM charges considering the earlier level of preparedness.

Expected impact on MSPGCL
 Expected impact and Actions required for improving Preparedness

 Currently on many occasions it is observed that the actual generation at some of the MSPGCL stations
is lower than the schedule. In case if the frequency is on lower side during such deviation, the State may
require to draw excess power from RLDC and such exchange will be at high Deviation Price. When
Gencos are included in the settlement, naturally these charges for excess power drawal will have to
borne by MSPGCL on such occasions of low injection.

 In view of this, MSPGCL stations will have to be alert in declaring capacity as well as timely
rescheduling in case of difficulties to follow the declared capacity.
 For achieving Scheduled generation in each block the following become very critical
 Co-ordination between CHP and Plant Operations , without which accuracy in declaration can’t be
achieved.
 Ensuring reliable operations of auxiliaries – Best O & M efforts
 Better assessment of outage situations and timely corrections in declared capacity accordingly.
 Tapping opportunities for gain during “lower frequency” regime
 Expected impact and Actions required at Hydro stations

 In normal course , for Hydro stations, while computing the DSM charges
Scheduled Energy will be considered to be equal to Actual injection.
Thus there is no Deviation and no DSM charge for Hydro stations.
 However , as per Scheduling and Dispatch Code, the Hydro units above 25 MW capacity have to
declare their capacity on regular basis. Thus specific input modules are prepared for
-Koyana Units ( all 1956 MW capacity), Tillari , Bhira and Vaitarana HPS and Ghatghar PSS, which are
of capacity more than 25 MW.
- For other hydro stations, monthly data for next month , based on water availability / water release
programme , to be provided to MSEDCL and SLDC by 21 st of every month . In case there is any
change in planning for utilisation of water during the month, same shall be informed by Generating
Station or concerned Distribution Licensee to MSLDC in advance.
-In normal case , the schedule for small hydro stations will be as per their declaration as above.
 For above 25 MW units , the day-ahead schedule is as per requisition given by MSEDCL but in real
time, the schedule may be changed by SLDC as per grid requirement.
DSM preparedness at our end
 MSPGCL DSM Readiness

• During the Trial run process, all the MSPGCL Management including CMD Sir , were regularly
apprised on the related developments and the management had pro-actively issued necessary
directions to the Stations as well as HO offices to ensure that MSPGCL stations remain well
prepared for changes under the new regime.
• For TPS level internal DSM real-time Dashboard is developed by MSPGCL IT team for online
monitoring .
• DSM groups were formed at local level to co-ordinate the activities at station level.
• Awareness training given to all operation staff .
• Monitoring & issuance of necessary directions by Director (Operations) for effective and
successful adoptin of DSM regime.
• With all these collective efforts , all MSPGCL stations are generally trying to follow DSM Schedule
and minimise DSM charge implication.

 DSM preparedness for MSPGCL

 Preparation of DSM Dashboard for ready reference for Plant control room Operations staff – IT

section with DSM Group

- Providing the input signals for the DSM dashboard – Testing , I & C / Electrical

- Updation of live data available from SLDC software – IT section with DSM Group

- Computation of expected DSM charges to help decision making – IT section / DSM group

- Working out strategies for loss reduction and then gain maximization – DSM group

 Improving awareness amongst the different wings – Operations & CHP , Operations and

Maintenance , CHP & Chemists etc. So that declaration of capacity is correct and then plant

operations are as per schedule or as per DSM charges optimization strategy - S.E of the

concerned departments

 Timely verification of Metered data and DSM bills received from SLDC.- DSM group / Testing , I &

Way forward
Till now the journey under DSM is much better than expected. However from 1 st April 2022, the
volume limit is expected to reduced to 30 MW. Thus following precautions are necessary.

1. To avoid applicability of Additional DSM , to the extent possible.

2. To avoid Over-injection when freq. is higher than 50.01 Hz ( unless DSM rates are higher).
--- This is essential for units with higher MOD rates like Nashik, Parli , Bhusawal # 3.
3. To increase generation under low frequency to get higher DSM receivables.
4. To avoid mis-declaration.
