 Operating Procedure, RSD
 Generating station shall submit the following information at the time
of DC declaration for the next day and subsequent DC revision
1. On Bar installed capacity (MW) / Units on Bar
2. On Bar DC (MW) (with due consideration to ramp up/down capability). The
generator shall ensure that the Off Bar DC is not more than the MCR less
Normative Auxiliary Consumption of the machines under RSD. The beneficiaries
shall continue to bear the capacity charge corresponding to Total DC.
3. Ramp up/ Ramp Down rate (MW/min) for On Bar installed capacity
 0800 hrs: RLDC shall advice to each state for next day
 1500 hrs: the Beneficiaries shall furnish the requisition to RLDC
 1800 hrs: RLDC shall prepare the dispatch schedule of each
generating station
 1900 hrs: RLDC shall upload the schedule as R0
 2000 hrs: the Beneficiaries shall review the requisition and submit
the revise requisition if injection schedule of generating station is
less than the technical minimum & RLDC shall issue R1 schedule
 2100 hrs: Generating station shall have the option to go for RSD
under technical minimum schedule & intimate to RLDC
 Operating Procedure, RSD
• When the machine is going under RSD :
– In case the total requisitioned power can be supplied through other units in the
same generating station on bar, the generator shall be scheduled according to
the requisitions received.
– In case total requisitioned power cannot be supplied through other units in the
same generating station on bar, the requisition from the beneficiaries shall be
reduced in the ratio of requisitioned power.
– In the special case of a generating station where the only running machine is
going under RSD, the beneficiaries who have requisitioned power will not get any
power from that generating station. In such cases, the beneficiaries may make
arrangement from alternative sources.
– No maintenance activities on unit under RSD shall be undertaken by the
generating station so that the RSD unit is always readily available for
revival/synchronization. If a generating station requires maintenance on any
machine under RSD, then the same shall be done in due consultation with RLDC.
The DC shall be reduced appropriately.
– In case the machine is not revived as per the revival time declared by the
generating station under different types of start, the machine shall be treated
under outage for the duration starting from the likely revival time and the actual
revival time. RLDC shall ensure that intimation is sent to the generating station
sufficiently in advance keeping in view its start-up time
Operating Procedure, RSD
 Operating Procedure, RSD
• Ta= Time at Which Generator unit(s) ramps down for RSD
• Tb= Time at which Generator unit(s) reaches Reserve Shut down.
• Tb - Ta = Based on Ramp down rates as per AS1 Form submitted under
RRAS.
• T1 = Time at which Generator should start its activity to synchronize its
unit(s) at Tc to achieve 55% loading for Td.
• Td-Ta = Based on the Condition of the unit(s) (Cold, Warm, Hot) and as
specified by AS1 Form submitted under RRAS but less than 8 Hours.
• TC = Time at which Generator unit(s) synchronize.
• Td= Time at which Generator unit(s) reaches schedule above 55% after
RSD as per the instruction given to the generator by RLDC. The instruction
is given before T1
• Td – Tc = Based on Ramp up rates as per AS1 Form submitted under RRAS.
• Te = Time at which Generator unit(s) can be given schedule below 55%.
• Te-Td>8 hours

 Compensation on SHR, AEC
• Compensation will be based on the degradation in SHR, APC, based
on Unit loading as per the Comp Table
• Compensation will be calculated in terms of ECR based on degraded
SHR and APC (i.e. ECR (Comp))
• Total Compensation will be
= SG (excluding RRAS/ STOA) x ECR (Comp)
• Compensation will be calculated on monthly cumulative basis.
• RPCs will be provided with two sets of data by 15th of the month:
 Data pertaining to the past month
 Data on Cumulative basis till the past month
• RPC Secretariat will issue the Compensation statement along with
the Final REA of the month
 Steps for Calculation of Compensation
 Calculation of Average Unit Loading (AUL)
 Effective Generation = AG (ex-bus) or SG excluding
RRAS/Bilateral, whichever is higher
Step 1
 Effective Capacity = IC in MWhr– (PO + FO+ RSD Hours) x
Cap
 AUL = Eff Gen x 100/ (Eff Capacity x (1- APCnorm))

 ECR (SE) will be calculated based on the degraded HR, APC

as per the Compensation table, considering the Average
Step 2 Unit Loading as calculated at Step-1
 ECR:SE = ECR (degraded HR, APC)
 Steps for Calculation of Compensation

 ECR (DC) will be calculated based on the degraded SHR, APC

as per the Compensation table, considering Average DC
Step 3
 AvgDC= DCx 100/ (Eff Capacity x (1- APCnorm))
 ECR:DC = ECR (degraded HR, APC)

 ECR (Act) and ECR (Norm) will be calculated based on the

Step 4
Actual and Normative HR, APC for the period.
 Steps for Calculation of Compensation
 No Compensation if Average Loading is more than 85%
 No Compensation if ECR (Act) <= ECR (Norm)
Step 5  Compensation will be payable in ECR (Act)>ECR (Norm) or
ECR (SE)>ECR (DC)
 Compensation amount will be capped at the lesser of ECR
(Act)- ECR (Norm) & ECR (SE)- ECR (DC)

 Apportionment of the Compensation amount

 A beneficiary which requisitions more than 85% of its
entitlement shall not pay any compensation
 Compensation amount will be shared among other
Step 6 beneficiaries in proportion to the un-requisitioned energy
below 85% of their entitlement
 Net Compensation payment will be the diff in Comp
calculated till a month – compensation calculated till the
previous month

 Calculation of Oil Compensation
 If total no of Start-ups in a year exceeds 7 x no of units in a

 No compensation if Act SOC <= Norm SOC
 The additional Sec Oil Consumption will be in terms of KL:
Step 1
∑ compensated oil attributed to RSD
 Compensation will be restricted to Normative SFC + Comp
calculated as above, even if the actual Oil consumption is
more

 The Oil Compensation will be shared in the ratio of no of
