MINUTES OF 43 RD MEETING OF OPERATION & COORDINATION COMMITTEE OF MP HELD ON 23 RD DECEMBER 2014 AT 10.30 AM AT CONFERENCE HALL OF SLDC, MPPTCL, JABALPUR 43 rd meeting of Operation & Co-ordination Committee of MP was held on 23 rd December 2014 at Conference Hall of SLDC, MPPTCL, Jabalpur. Shri P.A R. Bende, Chairman OCC welcomed all the participants attending 43 rd Operation and Coordination Committee Meeting. He informed that the maximum MP Supply given in a single day was 2023.47 LU on 2 nd December 2014 which is ever highest so far. The system demand of MP is increasing day by day since last few days and it may increase further in coming days of the month. He further informed that the maximum demand met was 9832 MW on 9 th December 2014 at 09:00 Hrs. which is the ever highest demand met till date. The projection of demand expected to be met was 10000 MW during the current rabi season and the actual system demand is prevailing near to the projection made by the MPPMCL/Discoms. Madhya Pradesh is having surplus availability of power to meet the system demand beyond projection made for rabi season and MPTCL transmission network is also capable to handle power beyond 10000 MW without any problem. The present capacity of MPPTCL transmission network is about 13000 MVA. 53 percent of time the frequency remained within the permissible range of 49.9-50.05 Hz during the last two months. He also stated that frequency profile was almost within the operating range and did not touch 49.20 Hz. in last 2 years. The low frequency operation of the grid is almost eliminated but concern is about high frequency operation i.e. above 50.05 Hz which was 21.52% in October & 29.91% in November 2014. This high frequency regime is mainly due to surplus availability of power as compared to actual system demand of the region even though there is a large generation capacity is under stranded condition. He also stated that in the past years the peak demand during rabi season occurred during evening peak hours whereas now it is occurring during morning hours. He informed the committee members that the large number of solar plants is commissioned in the state in the recent past and generation during the day time is of immense help in catering increased system demand due to irrigational load. Chairman OCC stated that reactors installed in state by PGCIL & MPPTCL are helpful in controlling the over voltage during the off peak hours for smooth operation of the system. He further informed that as intimated by the MPPTCL representative in the last OCC meeting, the improvement in voltage profile has not been observed despite switching ON of capacitor banks installed by Discoms for voltage improvement. Thus the Discoms are requested to thoroughly check the healthiness of capacitor banks installed under their jurisdiction and also develop some method to ensure that the capacitor banks are operative whenever taken into service. Chairman OCC stated that in regard to implementation of ADMS in the State, commercial offer has been received for ADMS from the Vendor by MPPTCL and the matter is under process. At present funding for implementation for ADMS shall be arranged by Discoms and proposal shall be submitted to the Nodal Agency for funding of this project through Power System Development Fund (PSDF). During the course of discussions on the agenda items, implementation of ADMS shall also be discussed. Thereafter, Chairman, OCC requested Shri K.K. Parbhakar, Member Secretary (OCC) to take up the agenda items for discussion.

ITEM NO. 6.0 : IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL ISSUES 6.1 Installation of 125 MVAR Bus Reactor at SSTPS : Member Secretary informed that the State Grid is experiencing high voltages during off peak conditions and to arrest the high voltages, numbers of EHV transmission lines are to be opened, as the adequate reactive compensation has not been provided at strategic locations. It is felt necessary to keep the voltages within operational limit; reactors of adequate ratings are to be installed all over the grid. Reactive power management in the grid is essential for safe, secure & reliable operation. The issue of high voltages in Madhya Pradesh was also reported by WRLDC in their operational feedbacks. The issue of reactive compensation in the grid was deliberated at various forums at regional level/ national level. In the 36 th meeting of Standing Committee on Power System Planning of Western Region held on 29.08.2013 at NRPC, New Delhi it was decided that Bus Reactors are to be installed on generator bus at Generating Stations having reactive compensation of the value corresponding to atleast 10% of the MW capacity. Minutes of 43rd OCC Meeting of MP 7

SLDC has already taken up the matter with Executive Director (O&M:Gen.) and requested for installation of 125 MVAR Bus Reactor at Shri Singhaji Thermal Power Station for keeping the voltages in the area within operational limits. The MPPGCL was requested to submit action plan alongwith timeline for providing reactive compensation at SSTPP in the meeting but MPPGCL did not submit any information in this regard. Chairman OCC also stated that 80 MVAR reactor on 400 KV ISP STPS Ckt shall be installed at STPS end by MPPGCL. Member secretary informed that in absence of reactor on above line, the startup supply cannot be extended from Indira Sagar to Satpura during blackout. He stated that MPPGCL should take up the matter at appropriate level for earlier installation and commissioning of the reactors. 6.2 Auto-reclosure on 400 kv/220 kv lines located in Western Region of MP: Member Secretary informed that the following critical 400 kv / 220 kv transmission lines located in the geographical area of West Discom do not have the Auto-reclosure facility in service- 1) 220 kv Indore-Jtepura I 2) 220 kv Indore-Jtepura II 3) 220 kv Indore-Badnagar 4) 220 kv Pithampur-Badnagar 5) 220 kv Nagda-Ratlam I 6) 220 kv Nagda-Ratlam II 7) 400 kv Indore-Nagda Healthiness of these lines all the time is essential for reliable operation of the state grid. These lines are heavily loaded during rabi season and carrying power more than or near to SIL. Any tripping of these lines during peak load hours may pose serious threat to integrity and reliability of the grid as manual restoration takes considerable time and system remains vulnerable during this period. SLDC has requested CE(T&C), MPPTCL to provide Auto-reclosure facility on these EHV lines at the earliest for safe & secure operation of the state grid. Other critical EHV lines located in the geographical area of East & Central Discom may also be identified and arrangement may be made for providing Auto-reclosure facility. Representative from MPPTCL informed that auto-reclosure facilities on 220 kv Indore-Badnagar, 220 kv Pithampur-Badnagar, 220 kv Nagda-Ratlam-I and 400 kv Indore-Nagda have already been commissioned and fault if any shall be rectified to make them functional all the time. For remaining 3 no. of feeders auto-reclosure facility is expected to be commissioned by March 2015. MPPTCL informed the committee that order has been placed and the protection couplers shall be installed by the end of March 15. MPPTCL also requested SLDC to take up the matter with PGCIL for providing auto reclosure facility at their end on the feeders connecting PGCIL network with MPPTCL. 6.3 IMPLEMENTATION OF AUTOMATIC DEMAND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: Member Secretary informed that, Clause 5.4.2(d) of IEGC mandates implementation of Automatic Demand Management Schemes before 01.01.2011 to reduce over drawal. As per the regulation, SLDC through respective Distribution Licensees have formulated and implemented State of the Art and Demand Management Scheme for ADMS. Minutes of 43rd OCC Meeting of MP 8

The implementation of ADMS was discussed in various OCC meetings and it was agreed by the Discoms that SLDC shall engage consultant for working out the scheme for which the Discoms will share the cost in proportion to their normative percentage allocation as notified by the Govt. of MP. In the meantime the Energy Department vide letter No. 164/2013/13 dated 08.01.2014 has directed MPPTCL to explore the possibility of implementation of ADMS through Transco SCADA. Accordingly the matter was discussed by CE (Plng. & Design) MPPTCL and SLDC with the SCADA Vendor and finalized the logics for implementation of the ADMS in Transco SCADA. Prior to this the logics for operation of the group feeders under ADMS was finalized in consultation with Discoms and MPPMCL. As intimated the SCADA Vendor has submitted its technical and commercial proposal. MPPTCL is requested to inform the latest status in this regard. Chairman OCC stated that BOD meeting of MPPTCL was held on 22.12.2014 and proposal for implementation of ADMS along with transmission SCADA was also put up before the BoD. Details of the decision taken by BoD for this proposal are awaited. He requested MPPTCL to apprise SLDC in regard to decision on ADMS by BoD at the earliest so that the CERC could be informed accordingly. 6.4 Poor condition of 48 Volt Battery set and Battery Charger at Power Stations : Member Secretary informed that the condition of 48 Volt Battery bank and Battery Charger at Rajghat HPS and SGTPS Birsinghpur is very poor which are unable to keep important services of telemetry and voice communication healthy in case of interruption in AC supply. This issue was brought to the notice of concerned authorities several times for ensuring the healthiness of Battery Bank and 48 Volt Battery Charger at these stations. The continuity of telemetered data as well as voice communication is vital for safe, secure & reliable operation of the state grid, as during recent blackout at SGTPS the total communication & telemetry was interrupted. MPPGCL, MPPTCL and IPPs are requested to ensure 48 V battery set in healthy condition all the times so that in case of any grid incidents data and voice communication is not interrupted. MPPGCL may submit the status of replacement of Battery & battery charger alongwith timeline. Chairman OCC stated that as per IEGC, battery banks should be replaced with healthy on completion of their useful life. He requested that MPPGCL, NHDC and IPPs shall submit the detailed status of battery banks of their generating stations within 3 days to SLDC. The details should include date of commissioning of 48 Volt battery set and battery charger along with their status of healthiness. MPPGCL informed that the replacement of Battery Bank at SGTPS is under progress. Chairman OCC requested MPPGCL to complete the installation of new battery set within the stipulated time limit. 6.5 REPORT OF THE TASK FORCE ON POWER SYSTEM ANALYSIS UNDER CONTINGENCIES HEADED BY SHRI V.
