Agenda 

Need for Reforms



Reforms in Power Sector



Regulations



Impact



Role of IT



System Overview

Need for Reforms 

Objective of integrated National Grid 

5 regional grids working at varying grid frequency



Integration needs Frequency Normalization means proactive load management





Regional surplus & shortages 



Alternative – Insulation thro’ HVDC links – Expensive

Surplus in east and shortage in south

Continued functioning at non-standard grid frequency 

Damage to Generator & End User equipment



Hidden cost passed to customer in long term

Need for Reforms (contd…)



Central Vs State Generators 



Capital cost Vs Variable cost

Beneficiaries not liable to pay fixed cost for their allocated share if not drawing 



Increased cost of energy for beneficiaries drawing energy

Generation even without demand 

High grid frequency

Reforms in Power Sector

Objective 

Reforms in tariff structure of bulk power 

Better system operations



Better grid discipline

through commercial incentives & disincentives



Ideal Grid Frequency = 50 Hz

Reforms 

Electricity Act 2003 





Replaced Electricity (Supply) Act 1948

Regulations 

Availability Based Tariff (ABT)



Merit Order Dispatch (MOD)



Plant Performance



Energy Management

SEB Trifurcation

Regulations

Availability Based Tariff (ABT) 

Deals with tariff structure for bulk power



Performance based tariff for supply based tariff



System of rewards and penalties seeking to enforce day ahead pre-committed schedules (One & One-half hours in advance)



Promote

responsibility

&

accountability

in

generation 

Paradigm shift from max power to max reliability

power

ABT Components 

Capacity charges (Fixed) 

Payable against declared capacity of station for allocated capacity rather than actual consumption



Full fixed charges payable at PLF of 68.49%



Incentive @ 0.4 % of equity for each percentage increase between 70-85%. Beyond 85% it is 0.3%



Energy charges (Variable) 



As per actual consumption

Unscheduled Interchange (UI) charges: Penalty that depends on severity of deviation. Payable/recoverable if: 

Generator generates more, thereby increasing frequency;



Generator generates less than the schedule, thereby decreasing frequency;



Beneficiary overdraws power, thereby decreasing frequency;

Merit Order Dispatch 

Objective from maximum production to optimal production



Multiple unit power plant to identify optimum loading for each unit to save on operational costs



Identify units to bring online / offline to meet plant demand at minimum operating cost



Dispatching least cost power in preference to more costly power

Trifurcation 

State Electricity Boards (SEBs) trifurcated as shown –

Holding Company

Generation Company

Transmission Company

Distribution Company

Impact of ABT – GENCO 

Advanced control & monitoring systems to closely monitor ex-bus output of plant 





Integrated information & communication system 

To capture data from all components



Unscheduled downtime is not very acceptable in the ABT regime

MOD to ensure economic operation 



Cost of generation, ramping, start up & shut down of each unit varies

Performance calculation for each unit of plant 



Generation should closely follow 15-minute schedule

Corresponding optimization to be done

Pro-active management plan 

Unscheduled deviation from power generation schedule incur considerable penalties



Unexpected downtime of power plant should not occur

Impact of ABT – TRANSCO 



Improved and efficient transmission systems 

More generation capacity being added



Bottleneck in transmission to be avoided

Better forecasting systems 





Vested with role of coordination between consumers & generators

Better communication and information systems 

Communicate 15 min generation & consumption schedule to each party



Convey any unforeseen change in such a schedule

Improved metering & billing system 

Ensure adequate metering capabilities for proper implementation of tariff structure



Specialized energy meters that keep track of 15-min energy aggregates & frequency for each interval to take care of energy charges and UI charges

Impact of ABT – DISCOM 





Enhanced load forecasting system 

Consumer expected to stick to schedule of 96 intervals of 15-minute for each day



Failure to comply will attract penalty - UI charges



Basis of entering into commercial agreements with generating utilities

Reliable communication and information infrastructure 

Load forecasting solution highly reliant on historical data for accuracy



To ensure smooth coordination with RLDC

Provision for in-house generation 

Captive power plants - going to be more & more popular during transition to decentralized & deregulated power market

Business Objective 

To generate & export electricity



Maximize output at lowest input



Maximizing returns require following ABT demand curve

Efficiency

Input

Minimize Cost

Output

Maximize Returns

Regulations – Organization Mapping

ABT Regime 



Revenue calculation for GENCO depends on 

Available capacity of plant



Implemented schedule



Grid Frequency



Actual energy export



Applicable tariff model

To maximize revenue & minimize input cost 

Generation to closely follow demand schedule



Optimal loading of plant units

Role of IT 

Monitor various online real-time plant parameters from different generating stations



Establish a full-fledged Generation Control Room for performance diagnosis & optimization



Provide suitable connectivity between each power station & Control Room

Account auxiliary consumption of plant for billing purpose



Account for operations of “Peak Load” plants & grid maintenance



Account for cost of operating (Supply of Reactive power, Startup/ Stop operations) plant for these purposes, as & when they are made applicable



Economic Load Dispatch 

Calculate individual plant OLC schedule for all power plants



Provide online communication between LDC & GCR regarding generation schedule



Online Plant Performance Monitoring 
