Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
2.1 Director (PSPA-2), CEA informed that Ministry of Power had appointed PFC
Consulting Ltd (PFCCL) as BPC for ERSS-XVIII scheme. PFCCL intimated CEA
that there was a RoW constraint for termination/interconnection of Jeerat(New)
- Jeerat(WBSETCL) 400kV D/c (Quad) line to be executed under TBCB at the
proposed GIS location at existing Jeerat(WBSETCL) substation. In order to
address the RoW constraint, a joint team of officers of WBSETCL, CEA, CTU,
PFCCL, POWERGRID (ER-II) visited the Jeerat substation of WBSETCL on 09th
September, 2016. This was followed by a joint meeting of the above officers on
10th September, 2016 at WBSETCL’s office at Kolkata. Further, she stated that
following 400kV lines are existing / under construction / planned at 400/220kV
substation of Jeerat (WBSETCL):
Existing:
(i) Jeerat(WBSETCL) – Baharampur/Farakka 400kV S/c line of POWERGRID
(ii) Jeerat(WBSETCL) – Rajarhat/Subhashgram 400kV S/c line of POWERGRID
(iii) Jeerat(WBSETCL) – Barkeshwar(WBSETCL) 400kV S/c line of WBSETCL
(iv) Jeerat(WBSETCL) – Kolaghat(WBSETCL) 400kV S/c line of WBSETCL
Under Construction:
(v) LILO of Sagardighi – Subhashgram 400kV S/c line at Jeerat (WBSETCL) as a part
of ERSS-XV – by POWERGRID
Planned:
(vi) Jeerat (New) – Jeerat (WBSETCL) 400kV D/c line (quad) as a part of ERSS-XVIII –
to be implemented as ISTS under TBCB by POWERGRID Medinipur-Jeerat
Transmission Ltd.
2.2 Director (PSPA-2), CEA informed that during the above meeting, WBSETCL was
requested to submit the detailed survey report regarding feasibility of overhead
crossing of existing lines mentioned at 2.1(i) to 2.1(iv) by two D/c lines mentioned
at 2.1(v) & 2.1(vi) for termination at GIS extension of Jeerat S/s of WBSETCL.
WBSETCL vide its letter dated 05.10.2016 has submitted the detailed survey
report, wherein WBSETCL mentioned that overhead crossing of the existing
lines is not feasible as it requires long extensions for crossing towers as well as
considerable space for maintaining required tower falling height.
2.3 Director (PSPA-2), CEA informed that a meeting was held on 14.12.2016 at CEA
regarding the above issue. Copy of minutes of meeting issued vide letter dated
27.01.2017 is at Annexure-2.1. In the meeting, it was agreed that dismantling
the crossing portion of the existing lines (ISTS and State lines) and termination
of the existing lines through GIS bus duct might be the appropriate option, as the
new lines mentioned at 2.1(v) and 2.1(vi) can be directly terminated on separate
double ckt towers at normal height (around 45 meters) to new GIS extension
area. In the meeting, it was agreed that following additional works may be

3.1 Director, BSPTCL stated that 400/132kV (2x200MVA) Motihari GIS substation is
under construction through TBCB by M/s Essel Infra. BSPTCL had requested to
create 220kV level in the 400/132kV Motihari GIS substation to avoid additional
expenditure and time in creating a new 220/132kV Motihari (New) substation
planned under intra-state strengthening scheme in 13th Plan.
3.2 Director (PSPA-2), CEA informed that a meeting was held at CEA on 18.01.2017
with the representatives of CTU and BSPTCL to discuss above issue. In the
meeting, it was decided that shifting of the new 220/132kV S/s from Motihari
(New) to Raxaul (New) with the following scope of works would be a better
option.
Raxaul (New) S/s: 220/132kV, 2x200MVA (to be implemented by BSPTCL)
(a) Sitamarhi (New) – Raxaul (New) 220kV D/c line (Twin Moose)
(b) Raxaul (New) – Gopalganj 220kV D/c line(Twin Moose/ Single Zebra)
(c) LILO of Bettiah – Raxaul 132kV D/c line at Raxaul (New)
3.3 Director (PSPA-2), CEA informed that following was agreed in the meeting:
(i) The available space in the Motihari 400/132kV substation is not adequate
to accommodate the proposed 220kV extension of BSPTCL. Creation of
220kV level would restrict any future expansion plans at Motihari S/s. Load
flow results also shows that Motihari (TBCB) – Raxaul and Motihari (TBCB)
– Bettiah 132kV D/c lines are critically loaded, when 220kV level is created
at Motihari (TBCB) S/s.
(ii) Earlier new 220/132kV substation at Motihari was planned primarily to feed
the loads of Gopalganj, Bettiah and Raxaul. It was decided to shift the

3.5 Chief Engineer (PSPA-II), CEA stated that the conductor for Raxaul (New) –
Gopalganj 220kV D/c is mentioned as twin moose or single zebra which are not
having equal current carrying capacity.
3.6 Representative of CTU stated that loading on the Raxaul (New) – Gopalganj
220kV D/c line is around 70-90MW in the time frame of 2021-22. There are also
other feeds at Gopalganj and hence it is possible that the loading of the line
would not increase much in next 10 years. Therefore the type of conductor would
be chosen as per the expected loading of the line at the time of implementation.
In the case of Sitamarhi (New) – Raxaul (New) 220kV D/c line, it was informed
that line is expected to carry about 235MW in the time frame of 2021-22 and
hence it is recommended that the type of conductor may be either twin moose
or equivalent HTLS.
3.7 Director, BSPTCL expressed that the tower weight of twin moose line would
increase and therefore, overall cost would be more. He further stated that initially
when the loading of Raxaul (New) – Gopalganj 220kV D/c line is less, zebra

under section 68 of the Electricity Act 2003 based on minutes of 11th meeting of
Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning in Eastern Region held
on 20.09.2010 with the above scope of work. This approval expired on
08.06.2014 because the implementing agency did not start the construction
works within 3 years from date of grant of Sec-68 approval.
5.3 CTU informed that Lanco Babandh Power Pvt. Ltd. (LBPPL) has relinquished its
long term access to the tune of 800MW in line with CERC order dated
08.06.2013 in petition No: 118/MP/2012 due to non-implementation of Phase-
II(2x660MW). Revision of LTOA from 1600MW to 800MW was issued to LBPL
with allocation of NR-650MW & WR-150MW based on the minutes of 11th
Connectivity and LTA meeting of ER held on 13.06.2016. The following revised
dedicated transmission system was proposed by CTU vide its letter No. C/CTU-
Plg/E/LTA/Lanco Babandh dated 19.10.2016 based on the revised LTOA
quantum of 800MW.

Note: The above phasing of Lanco’s dedicated system is being considered at its own
request and also on its own risk and cost. Further, as Lanco had relinquished LTA for
800MW under Petition No. 118/MP/2012 and is also presently contesting a petition
(38/MP/2016) before CERC inter alia seeking abeyance of LTA, this phasing of
dedicated system shall be without prejudice to the proceedings before CERC and to
Lanco’s liability(ies) towards payment of relinquishment/transmission charges as the
case may be.
5.10 Representative of POWERGRID stated that for reliable communication system,
OPGW may be provided instead of normal earth wire.
5.11 Members agreed for above.
6. Evacuation of power from Patratu (3x800MW) TPS
6.1 Director (PSPA-2), CEA informed that Patratu Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited
(PVUNL) (3X800+2X800MW) is a joint venture of NTPC Ltd. and the Jharkhand
state government owned Patratu Thermal Power Station (PTPS). A meeting
regarding evacuation of power from Patratu (3x800MW) TPS was held on
20.01.2017 at CEA. In the meeting, CTU representative informed that Patratu
Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd. (PVUNL) has applied for connectivity of 2400MW
(Phase-I), to the ISTS system, from Dec, 2020 for their planned Patratu
(3x800MW) TPS situated in Ramgarh District of Jharkhand.
6.2 In the meeting PVUNL informed that 85% of power is allocated to Jharkhand
state and 15% is kept as unallocated power. This matter was discussed in
meeting at CEA and it was agreed that as majority of power of Patratu TPS is
allocated to Jharkhand, it would be prudent that Patratu TPS is directly
connected with JUSNL (Jharkhand STU) system and not ISTS system. If
remaining share (15%) of power of Patratu TPS is to be transferred outside
Jharkhand, for such quantum PVUNL may apply for ISTS Long Term Access to
CTU (POWERGRID), as per CERC Connectivity Regulations, 2009.
6.3 Director (PSPA-2), CEA informed that joint studies were carried out to evolve
immediate evacuation system for Patratu (3x800MW) TPS. Accordingly following
power evacuation system from Patratu (3x800MW) TPS was evolved:
(a) Patratu gen. switchyard – Patratu (JUSNL) S/s 400kV (Quad) D/c line
(b) Patratu gen. switchyard – Koderma (JUSNL) S/s 400kV (Quad) D/c line
(c) Patratu gen. switchyard – New Chandil (JUSNL) S/s 400kV (Quad) D/c line
(d) 420kV, 2x125MVAR bus reactors at Patratu gen. switchyard and 420kV,
1x125MVAR bus reactor at Patratu 400kV bus
(e) From Patratu 400/220/132kV substation:
(i) Patratu (JUSNL) S/s to Latehar 400kV D/c line (already under
construction)
(ii) Patratu (JUSNL) to Ranchi (POWERGRID) 765/400kV S/s 400kV D/c
line (already under construction) along with LILO of both circuits at
Mandar 400/220kV S/s
11
Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
6.4 In this way, Patratu generation would also get connected to strong ISTS pooling
stations viz. (i) Ranchi (POWERGRID) 765/400kV through Patratu (JUSNL) and
(ii) Chandwa Pool (POWERGRID) through Patratu (JUSNL) & Latehar (JUSNL)
substations of JUSNL.
6.5 Further, she informed that the connectivity of Patratu (3x800MW) TPS to
Koderma (northern part of Jharkhand) and New Chandil (south-eastern part of
Jharkhand) through 400kV high capacity (Quad Moose) double circuit lines
would facilitate the transfer of power from Patratu TPS to different load centers
in Jharkhand. These interconnections would complete the 400kV high-capacity
ring viz. Patratu TPS – Koderma – Jasidih – Dhanbad (ISTS) – New Chandil
– Patratu TPS in Jharkhand, which shall improve reliability of power transfer
within the state.
6.6 Director (PSPA-2), CEA informed that it was also observed from the joint studies
that three-phase fault level at 400kV level at both Patratu (3x800MW) TPS and
Patratu (400/220kV) substation is about 50kA. Accordingly, it was decided that
400kV bus at Patratu generation switchyard as well as Patratu (400/220kV)
substation (JUSNL) would be designed for short circuit level of 63kA (for 1sec).
6.7 In the meeting PVUNL had informed that construction is yet to start at Patratu
(400/220kV) substation. Therefore, it was suggested that JUSNL would explore
possibility of construction of 400kV and 220kV level at Patratu (400/220kV)
substation with short circuit level of 63kA and 50kA respectively.
6.8 Representative of PVUNL stated that they are facing difficulty in filing application
for connectivity to JUSNL as there is no formal procedure for application
connectivity/ LTA. Further, he informed that NIT and price bid have already been
opened for the project.
6.9 Member (Power system), CEA stated that PVUNL may pursue with Government
of Jharkhand.
6.10 Chief Engineer (PSPA-II), CEA expressed that PVUNL is planning for evacuation
of power generation in two phases and many 400kV connections are planned in
the first phase and therefore, evacuation of power in second phase generation
may be difficult because of RoW constraints. He suggested that use of multi
circuit towers ( more than 2 circuit) at 400kV level may be considered for
evacuation of power.
6.11 He stated that PVUNL should apply for LTA and connectivity to JUSNL and
therefore ISTS Connectivity application of PVUNL may be closed.
6.12 Members agreed for power evacuation system from Patratu (3x800MW) TPS as
mentioned at para 6.3 as intra state system of Jharkhand. Members also agreed
that ISTS Connectivity application of PVUNL for Patratu TPS to CTU may be
closed and PVUNL may apply for connectivity of its Patratu (3x800MW) TPS to
JUSNL. Jharkhand may consider to use 400kV multi circuit towers ( more than
2 circuit) for optimum utilization of available corridor.

Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
7.1 Director (PSPA-2), CEA informed that total load projected for Jharkhand for the
year 2021-22 is around 5613MW (4193MW for JUSNL area + 1420MW for DVC
area) as stated by JUSNL. Load flow studies were carried out for projected peak
load of Jharkhand as 4193MW for the year 2021-22. JUSNL had submitted draft
report on perspective transmission plan of JUSNL up to 2021-22. In the meetings
held on 26.10.2017 and 20.01.2017, some modifications were proposed by CEA
and CTU to incorporate in the study. JUSNL incorporated these changes and
submitted the compliance report vide their email dated 01.02.2017.
7.2 Director (PSPA-2), CEA informed that the following 400/220kV intra-state
substations along with downstream connectivity mentioned at Annexure-7.1
were agreed under perspective transmission plan of JUSNL up to 2021-22:
(i) Jasidih (400/220kV, 2x500MVA)
(ii) New Chandil (400/220kV, 2x500MVA)
(iii) Koderma (400/220kV, 2x500MVA)
(iv) Mandar (400/220kV, 2x500MVA)
(v) Dumka (400/220 kV , 2x500 MVA) (with commissioning of Tenughat Ph-
2 (1320 MW))
Note: 420kV, 2x125MVAR bus reactors may be installed at all of the above new 400kV
substations of JUSNL for voltage control.
7.3 Further, she informed that the transmission system planned for JUSNL network
along with evacuation system of PVUNL would create a high capacity 400kV ring
Patratu TPS – Koderma – Jasidih – Dhanbad (ISTS) – New Chandil – Patratu
TPS in Jharkhand, which would improve reliability of power transfer within the
state. The intra-state system of Jharkhand would also get well interconnected at
various ISTS points for smooth power exchange.
7.4 Representative of CTU stated that 220kV D/c line considered from Chaibasa
(JUSNL) to Ramchandrapur 220/132kV substation was earlier envisaged as
Chaibasa (POWERGRID) to Ramchandrapur 220/132kV substation. In the 18th
SCM of ER, JUSNL had informed following outlets for utilization of 4 no. 220kV
line bays at Chaibasa (POWERGRID) substation:
(i) Chaibasa (POWERGRID) – Chaibasa (JUSNL) 220kV D/c
(ii) Chaibasa (POWERGRID) – Ramchandrapur (JUSNL) 220kV D/c line
However, as per detailed scope of work submitted by JUSNL, the line at (ii)
above is proposed to be terminated at Chaibasa (JUSNL) substation and hence
connectivity considered in revised draft report studies i.e. Chaibasa (JUSNL) –
Ramchandrapur 220kV D/c line is retained. Accordingly, it is imperative that
JUSNL may plan a new outlet from Chaibasa (POWERGRID) to utilize the

9. Connectivity of Railway TSS with ISTS network for Mughal Sarai – Howrah
route
9.1 Director (PSPA-2), CEA informed that Railway Board vide its letter dated
09.09.2016 had requested for connectivity to Railways from various ISTS points
to feed their TSS (Traction Sub Station) for Mughal Sarai(NR) – Howrah(ER)
route. A meeting was held on 07.10.2016 in CEA to discuss the connectivity of
Railways’ TSS with ISTS network for two routes of Railways i.e. (i) Delhi (NR) –
Bharuch (WR) route (ii) MughalSarai (NR) – Howrah (ER) route. In the meeting,
following ISTS substations were preliminarily identified for giving connectivity to
the Railways TSS for its Mughalsarai (NR) – Howrah (ER) route:
(i) Arrah or Patna
(ii) Gaya or Chandauti
(iii) Maithon
(iv) Durgapur
(v) Lakhisarai
(vi) Subhashgram
9.2 Further, she stated that a meeting was held on 20.04.2017 at CEA with STUs
regarding connectivity of Railways with ISTS network for the Mughalsarai –
Howrah (MoM is enclosed at Annexure-9.1). In the meeting DVC stated that
Railways load of DVC is about 320MW and is supplying power at average cost
of Rs. 4.80 per unit, which is quite competitive price. Railways agreed with DVC
and stated that Mughalsarai - Howrah route has been planned in holistic way,
therefore, Railways would be disconnect from DVC system also in this route.
9.3 Representative of Railways stated that basis for planning of ISTS connectivity
instead of STU connectivity are economics, reliability and increase in load with
Dedicated Freight Corridor. He stated that Railways had requested for ISTS
connectivity for Mughalsarai – Howrah route at certain points. After finalizing
15
Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
these ISTS connection points for the above route, Railways would plan in detail
for the transmission system in this route.
9.4 Director, (PSPA-II) stated that CEA had requested for submission of economic
analysis of shifting of Railway load from STUs/DVC to ISTS in this route.
Railways have not submitted the same.
9.5 Member Secretary, ERPC stated that in the State Sector Standing Committee
Meeting for Eastern Region held on 03.08.2017, following concerns were raised
by the ER constituent states.
(i) States have developed many transmission networks and sub-stations
dedicated to Railways for reliable supply to them. If railways connect directly
to ISTS through their dedicated lines, the corresponding STU system will
become defunct and there would be a huge wastage of public money. The
usage of STUs stranded assets need to be explained.
(ii) In the ISTS substations, space is kept for 220kV or 400kV bays for states to
meet their future load demand. In case railways uses the existing space at
ISTS substations for their 220kV lines, how the future power requirement of
states would be addressed.
(iii) The transmission corridor which will be developed to connect Railways
directly to ISTS substations would be redundant for Railways only and other
constituents cannot utilize these lines. However, in present scenario getting
another transmission corridor is a difficult task and corridors of railways will
be underutilized which would also be a national wastage of public money.
(iv) Sates of eastern region felt that the issue should not be discussed in SCM
without resolving the STU issues in lower forums of the ERPC.
9.6 Representative of Railways stated that, in case railways is connected to ISTS
substations, existing network of STU with railways would be kept free and states
may utilise this network for whatever purposes they require. He added that
Railways has done economic analysis for some other routes and the report
indicates that ISTS connectivity for railways would be economical and reliable.
He informed that for Mughalsarai - Howrah route, feasibility study would be
submitted to CEA and Niti Aayog..
9.7 In regard to query raised by ERLDC regarding source of power through ISTS
connectivity, Director, Railways stated that they have 1000MW power plant of
BRBCL (Nabinagar-I: 4x250MW) at Nabinagar in Bihar. The first unit of BRBCL
is under operation and second unit would be commissioned shortly. He further
added that Railways is also planning to tie up with some other generators.
9.8 Director, Railways stated that there are two types of proposal from railways:
(i) Disconnection from existing STU network and connection with ISTS network
and
16
Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
(j) Dedicated Freight Corridor, which is a new route where ISTS connectivity is
required.
9.9 Representative of Odisha stated that at present Railways are getting power from
29 different Sub-stations of Odisha. Further, Railways requested for another 21
no. of substations, some of them are under execution and remaining are under
process. He added that if railways would be connected to ISTS, utilization of
these substations are questionable. He further added that in some areas
Railways are requesting for early commission of these substations.
9.10 Director, Railways stated that presently entire routes of railways are not planned
to be connected with ISTS. Presently, Railways are planning for ISTS
connectivity in major trunk routes (6 routes) including golden quadrilateral routes.
9.11 Representative of Odisha stated that after these major trunk routes, Railways
may plan for other routes also. He added that Railways are constructing lines as
a transmission licensee and in some cases they are treated as bulk consumers.
This creates confusion for the state utilities whether railways has to be
considered as distribution licensee or transmission licensee or bulk consumer.
Railways may explain these issues. He requested that Railways has to discuss
their plan with individual states and then only they can approach in Standing
Committee Meeting.
9.12 Representative of BSPTCL stated that states are paying for the ISTS network.
In case Railways utilizes this ISTS network, railways would only utilize the space,
bays and transmission lines at those points and there would be no further space
to meet the load growth of states. In case, Railways utilizes space for 220 kV
bays at Arah, Patna, Gaya etc. then there would be no space to meet the load
growth of Bihar. He stated that load of Railways TSS would be around 80-
100MW at each 220kV point and this would lead to underutilization of
bays/lines/space at each ISTS point and thus it is not an optimal planning as per
Electricity Act. He added that there is also a confusion whether Railways is to be
considered as distribution licensee or transmission licensee or bulk consumer.
9.13 Member (Power System), CEA stated that similar observations were made by
the states in the Standing Committee Meeting of Northern Region. He suggested
that a separate meeting may be planned with all states of ER to discuss the
issues of Railways. In that meeting, Railways need to make a presentation on
their proposal including economic analysis of the same. The presentation may
be shared with all the constituents (CEA, RPCs, CTU, RLDCs, STUs etc.) before
the meeting. Additionally, STUs need to send their observations and comments
on Railways proposal so that a consolidated list of issues could be prepared and
deliberated upon in the meeting.
9.14 Members agreed for a separate meeting in regard to railways issues with all
constituents.

Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
10.1 Representative of CTU informed that it was suggested to review the installation
of 765/400kV, 2x1500MVA ICTs at Angul S/s in view of non-materialisation of
some of the IPPs envisaged to be connected at Angul substation in the 18th ER
SCM.
10.2 Accordingly, the matter has been reviewed by CTU (POWERGRID) and the
following has been observed:
i) In view of uncertainity in commissioning of NSL (connectivity cancelled) and Talcher-
III (connectivity and LTA applications closed) generation projects and non-
materialisation of Navbharat (applicant has filed for relinquishment in CERC)
generation project, the installation of 765/400kV, 2x1500MVA ICTS at Angul is not
required.
ii) Accordingly, the spare 765/400kV, 500MVA ICT (single phase unit) at Angul S/s is
also not required.
iii) The bus splitting at Angul at both 400kV and 765kV levels is not required at present
as the fault level at Angul is found to be within rated limits.
iv) The split bus arrangement may be implemented in future under a different scheme
after firming of generation projects near Angul.
v) The spare 765/400kV, 500MVA ICT (single phase unit) at Sundargarh (Jharsuguda)
S/s is not required.
10.3 In view of the above, following elements are proposed to be deleted from
POWERGRID’s scope under the scheme – “Common Transmission System for
Phase-2 Generation Projects in Odisha”:
(i) 2x1500MVA, 765/400kV ICTs at Angul S/s along with associated bays
(ii) Split Bus Arrangement at Angul S/s at 765kV & 400kV buses

12. Baharampur (India) – Bheramara (Bangladesh) 2nd 400kVD/c line
12.1 Representative of CTU informed that cross border interconnection between India
and Bangladesh through Baharampur (India) - Bheramara (Bangladesh) 400kV
D/c line along with 500MW HVDC Back-to-Back terminal at Bheramara, was
commissioned in Sept 2013. About 500MW of power is being transferred from
India to Bangladesh through this link.
12.2 Further, he informed that the capacity of Bheramara (Bangladesh) HVDC station
is being upgraded from 500MW to 1000MW by Bangladesh. The system
strengthening required in the Indian and Bangladesh side for transfer of about
1000MW from India to Bangladesh is already under implementation. In regard to
N-1 reliability criteria for 1000MW export to Bangladesh, it was decided that
during single circuit outage of Baharampur – Bheramara 400kV D/c line,
Bangladesh would restrict/reduce the loading on the operating circuit to the
permissible extent with the help of runback control /ramping down facility on the
HVDC system.
12.3 Therefore, in order to ensure reliable supply of 1000MW power to Bangladesh
from Baharampur, it was decided in the 12th India-Bangladesh Joint Steering
Committee (JSC) meeting ( heldon 11th Dec 2016), to construct a 2nd 400kV D/c
transmission line from Baharampur (POWERGRID) to Bheramara (Bangladesh)
in matching time frame of 2nd 500MW HVDC terminal at Bheramara. Further, in
the 12th JSC meeting, it was also decided that, the Indian portion of the line may
be implemented by POWERGRID and the mechanism of sharing of transmission
charges by Bangladesh for Indian portion of this link would be on same principles
as for the first Baharampur – Bheramara link. Accordingly, MoP vide letter no.
9/5/2016-Trans-Vol-2 dated 01-03-2017 had granted approval for
implementation of Indian portion of Baharampur (India) – Bheramara
(Bangladesh) 2nd 400kV D/c line along with 2 no. 400kV line bays for termination

circuit of Teesta-III – Kishanganj 400kV D/c (Quad) line at Rangpo from Part-B
of the scheme “Transmission System for Transfer of power from generation
projects in Sikkim to NR/WR (Part-B)” and take it up as a separate part (Part-B1)
of the same scheme as “Transmission System for Transfer of power from
generation projects in Sikkim to NR/WR (Part-B1)” in the 18th ER SCM. LILO of
first circuit of Teesta-III – Kishanganj 400kV D/c (Quad) line at Rangpo has been
made using HTLS conductor. Accordingly, keeping in view the anticipated
problems in construction due to hilly terrain as well as requirement of land for
foundation, construction of 2nd LILO line with HTLS would be a better techno-
commercial solution.
15.2 Further, he stated that the two 400kV LILO lines are being constructed on two
separate D/c towers, however, in view of RoW constraints near Rangpo the two
LILO lines are proposed to be terminated on a Multi Circuit tower at Rangpo end.
Multi circuit has been considered along with LILO of first circuit. In view of the
above, members may approve the following:
(i) LILO of 2nd circuit of Teesta III – Kishanganj 400kV D/c (Quad) line at Rangpo
with Twin HTLS conductor
(ii) 400kV multi circuit tower/line at Rangpo end for termination of LILO of both

19. Additional feed to southern Odisha to improve power supply reliability and
enable maximum utilisation of Guzuwaka Back-to-Back HVDC
19.1 Representative of CTU informed that, in the 18th SCM of ER it was noted that in
absence of Talcher – Behrampur – Gazuwaka 400kV D/c line by M/s Reliance
under TBCB, power flow though Gazuwaka 2x500MW HVDC is restricted under
Low Hydro scenario in southern Odisha. Accordingly, it was decided that an
additional scheme independent of Talcher – Behrampur – Gazuwaka may be
planned and if in future Talcher – Behrampur – Gajuwaka 400kV D/c line is
implemented, it would give additional strength to the southern Odisha
transmission system and would also improve the low voltage problem in the
area.
19.2 Accordingly, a meeting was held at CEA on 30-06-2016 with CTU
(POWERGRID) and OPTCL wherein following ISTS scheme was identified as
an additional transmission system to improve reliability of power supply to
southern Odisha and also to enable maximum utilisation of Guzuwaka Back-to-
Back HVDC:

20. Proposal for stepwise completion of Rajarhat – New Purnea 400kV D/c line
under ERSS-V scheme
20.1 Representative of POWERGRID has informed that major transmission system
under ERSS-V scheme is Rajarhat – New Purnea 400kV D/c (Triple Snowbird)
line with LILO of one circuit at Gokarna (WBSETCL) and other circuit at Farakka
(NTPC). The construction work of 400/220kV GIS substation and 400kV
transmission lines at Rajarhat end has been completely brought to a standstill
condition due to agitation by local villagers. The West Bengal state
administration has advised POWERGRID to stop construction activities at and
near Rajarhat substation till further instructions.
20.2 Further, he informed that it is likely that Rajarhat – Farakka transmission line at
Rajarhat end may not be completed within FY 2016-17 due to volatile political
situation. However, Farakka – Gokarna portion of the said line along with
associated bays at Farakka has been completed. Further, substation works at
Gokarna viz. ICT (under scope of WBSETCL) and 400kV line bays including
80MVAR bus reactor (under scope of POWERGRID) have also been
commissioned. Accordingly, after approval from ERPC the Farakka – Gokarna
portion of Rajarhat – New Purnea line has been commissioned. Commissioning
of Farakka – Gokarna portion has established connection of Gokarna substation
at 400kV level with ISTS enabling improvement of power situation in and around
Gokarna and Baharampur area.
20.3 In view of the above facts, the Rajarhat – New Purnea line is further proposed to
be commissioned in steps as detailed below:
Sl. No. Charging of elements

(DVC), MTPS (DVC) and Ranchi (POWERGRID) substations in 11th/12th Plan
for network augmentation of DVC system. Due to financial crunch and restriction
imposed by MoP on investment in respect of DVC transmission system, the
construction of new 220kV substation at Gola has been dropped by DVC. The
above mentioned 220kV lines (proposed connecting Gola S/s with Ramgarh &
MTPS substations of DVC and Ranchi-POWERGRID S/s) are complete/nearing
completion. To utilize the upcoming 220kV lines to the best extent possible, a
revised plan is proposed bypassing the Gola S/s.

Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
23.4 From above it emerges that the ICT can be transported to Farakka only through
the road of Farakka Barrage Project, which has been denied by the apex body
(Ministry of Water Resources).
23.5 Thus with no possible transportation options, the ICT has been diverted and
stationed at Durgapur S/s of POWERGRID. In the 18th ER Standing Committee
Meeting held on 13-06-2016, installation of 3rd 400/220kV, 315MVA ICT at
Durgapur (ICT-2 released after replacement at New Purnea S/s) was approved.
This is being implemented by POWERGRID under ERSS-XVII (Part-B) scheme.
23.6 In view of the above mentioned transportation constraints it is proposed that ICT
diverted from Sasaram S/s (identified for installation at Farakka under ERSS-XII)
may be installed at Durgapur S/s as 3rd ICT (under ERSS-XVII Part-B).
23.7 Further, he stated that the following modifications in the scope of ERSS-XII and
ERSS-XVII (Part-B) schemes are proposed:
34
Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
23.11 Representative of ERPC stated that the constituents are ready to bear the
transportation cost as this is a technical requirement.
23.12 In view of the above, members agreed to the following modifications in the
already under implementation ERSS-XII and ERSS-XVII (Part-B) schemes of
POWERGRID:
(a) Deletion of scope of installation of Sasaram (Pusauli) 400/220kV,
315MVA ICT-1 (released after replacement) as 2nd 400/220kV, 315MVA ICT at
Farakka generation switchyard from ERSS-XII scheme.
(b) Installation of above mentioned Sasaram (Pusauli) 400/220kV,
315MVA ICT-1 (released after replacement) as 3rd 400/220kV, 315MVA ICT at
Durgapur under ERSS-XVII (Part-B) instead of earlier approved New Purnea
400/220kV, 315MVA ICT-2 (released after replacement).
(c) Installation of New Purnea 400/220kV, 315MVA ICT-2 (released after
replacement) as 2nd 400/220kV, 315MVA ICT at Farakka generation switchyard
under ERSS-XII instead of earlier approved Sasaram (Pusauli) 400/220kV,
315MVA ICT-1. In case of transportation constraints to Farakka switchyard, the
ICT may be transported through Farakka feeder canal waterways at additional
cost under ERSS-XII scheme.
24. Conversion of 50MVAR (3x16.67MVAR) bus reactor at Farakka to
switchable line reactor under the ERSS-XV due to space constraints in
termination of Farakka – Baharampur 400kV D/c (Twin HTLS) line
24.1 Representative of POWERGRID has informed that ERSS-XV scheme inter alia
includes construction of Farakka – Baharampur 400kV D/c (Twin HTLS) line.
One spare future bay has been selected for termination of one circuit of Farakka
– Baharampur D/c line at 400kV bus at Farakka generation switchyard, however,
due to non-availability of adjacent bay for termination of the other circuit it is
proposed to terminate the second circuit in the exiting 50MVAR bus reactor bay
along with conversion of this reactor to switchable line reactor. This arrangement
would result in connection of 50MVAR switchable line reactor in one circuit of
Farakka – Baharampur 400kV D/c line at Farakka end to be utilised as bus
reactor.
24.2 Representative of ERLDC stated that Farakka is having high voltage problem
therefore, the reactor is required.
24.3 Members agreed for conversion of 50MVAR (3x16.67 MVAR) bus reactor at
Farakka to switchable line reactor to be installed in one circuit of Farakka –
Baharampur 400kV D/c line as ISTS.
25. Modification in transmission system required for power evacuation from
Sikkim IPPs and Operationalization of LTA

LTA separately) were intimated by CTU vide letter dated 07-10-2015. Therein,
the dedicated transmission system of Bhasmey HEP was modified from “LILO
of one ckt of Chuzachen – Rangpo 132kV D/c line with Zebra conductor at
36
Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
Bhasmey along with associated line bays” to “Bhasmey – Rangpo 132kV D/c
line along with associated line bays”.
25.3 In the 18th Standing Committee Meeting of ER held on 13-06-2016, it was
decided to delink the LILO of 2nd circuit of Teesta-III – Kishanganj 400kV D/c
line at Rangpo from the scheme “Transmission System for Transfer of power
from generation projects in Sikkim to NR/WR (Part-B)” for Phase-1 IPPs in
Sikkim and take it up as a separate part (Part-B1) as “Transmission System for
Transfer of power from generation projects in Sikkim to NR/WR (Part-B1)”. From
system studies, it has been observed that power from the above mentioned
Phase-I IPPs can be evacuated with LILO of one circuit of Teesta-III –
Kishanganj line at Rangpo with N-1 security criteria (the original transmission
system was planned keeping in view N-1 criteria). The 2nd LILO at Rangpo is
required for meeting the N-1-1 reliability criteria. From system studies, it has also
been observed that common transmission system identified for Phase-1 IPPs is
also capable of evacuating power from Tashiding HEP (of Shiga Energy Pvt.
Ltd.).
25.4 All the elements of the above mentioned Common Transmission System for
Phase-I IPPs except Teesta-III – Kishanganj 400kV D/c (Quad) line (part
commissioned) has been commissioned. This line (under construction by TPTL)
is expected by Mar 2018. With the completion of this line, the LTA of Sikkim
Phase-I IPPs and Tashiding HEP may be operationalized. The 2nd LILO at
Rangpo, which is under award stage, would be commissioned at later stage.
25.5 In view of the above, members agreed that the following common transmission
system is capable of power evacuation from Phase-I IPPs and Tashiding
generation projects in Sikkim:
Common Transmission System (under scope of ISTS)
(a) Establishment of 2x500MVA, 400/220kV GIS sub-station at Kishanganj

beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be liable for payment of applicable
transmission charges as per their contracted capacities. In case of default
by beneficiaries, LTA customer shall be liable for payment of transmission
charges. The 2nd LILO at Rangpo, which is under award stage, would be
commissioned at later stage.
(d) Reconductoring of Rangpo – Silliguri line with HTLS may be expedited. This
will increase the reliability of evacuation of power beyond Rangpo.
26. Connectivity granted to Vedanta Ltd. (erstwhile Sterlite Energy Ltd.)
26.1 Representative of CTU informed that Vedanta Ltd. (4x600MW) was granted LTA
of 400MW in Phase-I along with other IPPs in Odisha and LTA of 1000MW along
with other IPPs in Odisha in Phase-2. For connectivity, Vedanta was to construct
two 400kV D/c lines (one for 400MW LTA and another for 1000MW LTA) from
the generation switchyard to Sundargarh (Jharsuguda) S/s of POWERGRID.
Subsequently, Vedanta Ltd. has relinquished its entire LTA quantum of
1400MW(Phase-I: 400MW & Phase-II: 1000MW). The first dedicated line is still
under construction, whereas the second dedicated line has not been taken up
for implementation. Connection agreements have been signed between CTU
(POWERGRID) and Vedanta Ltd. for both the dedicated transmission lines.
26.2 Vedanta had connected Unit-1, 3 & 4 of the generation project to ISTS system
and Unit-2 to Odisha grid. In the 125th OCC meeting of ERPC held on 20-09-
2016 under the agenda item no. B.7 – “Persistent under generation and
inappropriate operational methodologies vis-à-vis grid requirements in operation
of Vedanta, Jharsuguda”, it has emerged that Vedanta has got converted the
status of ISTS connected units from IPP to CPP.
26.3 The matter related to Vedanta was subsequently discussed in a meeting at
ERPC on 14-10-2016, wherein following was decided:
(a) Control area jurisdiction of Vedanta will be shifted from ERLDC to SLDC, Odisha.
(b) CPP units (unit #1, 3 &4) and IPP unit (#2) of Vedanta Ltd along with SEZ (smelter)
load shall be kept at 400 kV bus of Vedanta Ltd Switchyard without bus splitting and
shall be connected to STU network through 400 kV Vedanta Ltd-Meramundali D/C
line.
There will be no need to operate the 400kV buses of Vedanta in split bus mode and
they should be coupled by completing all the dias.
(c) One unit shall be kept as standby till the completion of 400 kV Sterlite-Jharsuguda
D/C line.
(d) Vedanta Ltd shall be a State embedded entity for all purposes and requisite STU
connection would be obtained by Vedanta Ltd i.r.o above.
(e) The CTU connectivity of Vedanta may be kept in abeyance. The same may be
closed/withdrawn from the date of getting the STU connectivity.
(f) On change of control area jurisdiction the NOC granted by ERLDC to Vedanta Ltd
shall stand revoked.
39
Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
(g) After changeover of control area jurisdiction, the LILO point of 400 kV Rourkela-
Raigarh at Vedanta will be interface point of Odisha STU till 30th November, 2016.
(h) Subsequently, after the completion of 400kV Sterlite-Jharsuguda D/C line the
interface point of Odisha STU will be shifted to Jharsugada.
(i) With the change of control area jurisdiction the status of 400kV Sterlite-Jharsuguda
D/C line will no more be a dedicated line. So, Vedanta agreed to hand over the line
to OPTCL which can be treated as an ISTS tie of OPTCL.
(j) Vedanta has to strictly adhere to the schedule for completion of 400kV Sterlite-
Jharsuguda D/C line (i.e. 30th November, 2016) as per the decision of 33rd
TCC/ERPC and decided in the meetings held in CEA on 16.9.16. In case 400kV
Vedanta-Jharsuguda D/C line is not commissioned by that date, the LILO connection
to Vedanta shall be withdrawn.
26.4 For above mentioned deliberations of OCC and ERPC meetings, following were
emerged:
a. ISTS connected units (Unit-1, 3 & 4) of Vedanta has been converted from
IPP to CPP and the same shall now be kept connected with STU
connected unit (Unit-2). With this all four generating units would be
connected to STU and ISTS system through Vedanta – Meramundali
400kV D/c line andVedanta – Sundargarh (Jharsuguda) 400kV D/c
respectively.
b. Upon completion of Vedanta – Sundargarh (Jharsuguda) line, Vedanta
has to hand over the line to OPTCL. In such case, the status of the line
would change from dedicated transmission line to STU line. With this
Vedanta would be embedded entity of Odisha.
26.5 OPTCL was requested to confirm about the transfer of the Vedanta generation
switchyard – Sundargarh (Jharsuguda) 400kV D/c line to OPTCL from Vedanta
Ltd. CTU stated that the connection agreement of the first dedicated
transmission line shall become null and void upon transfer of the dedicated line
by Vedanta Ltd. to OPTCL. He further added that with relinquishment of LTA of
1000MW (Phase-II) by Vedanta Limited, the 2nd dedicated line viz. Vedanta
generation switchyard – Sundargarh (Jharsuguda) 400kV 2nd D/c line is not
required.
26.6 In view of above deliberations, members decided that the 2nd dedicated line viz.
Vedanta generation switchyard – Sundargarh (Jharsuguda) 400kV 2nd D/c line
is not required and not to be implemented.
27. Dropping of Banka (PG) – Deoghar 132kV D/c line which was proposed in
16th SCM-ER meeting
27.1 Director (PSPA-2), CEA, CEA informed that, in the 16th SCM-ER meeting, ERPC
had informed that the 132kV Deoghar S/S (JSEB) is being fed through 132kV
line(s) from DVC source (Maithon-Jamtara-Deoghar 132kV S/C) or from NTPC
source (Lalmatia). There is also a feed from BSPTCL source through Sultanganj
40
Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
- Deoghar 132kV S/C line, which is normally kept open due to overloading in
Kahalgaon-Sabour- Sultanganj 132kV section of BSPTCL system. The Deoghar
& Jamtara sub-stations feed important railway loads of 10MW each to
Shankarpur TSS & Jamtara TSS and loading on Maithon – Jamtara – Deoghar
132kV S/C line sometimes exceeds 75MW. The reliability of supply to railway
loads is being affected. In view of above, it was agreed to provide an additional
supply to Deoghar S/S (JSEB) from 400/132kV Banka S/S (PG) by creating a
132kV Banka- Deoghar D/C lines (about 40 kms).
27.2 JUSNL vide their letter dated 30.07.2015 addressed to POWERGRID informed
that termination of above line at Deoghar is not possible due to space constraint.
Further, JUSNL informed that after commissioning of 132kV Jasidih – Deoghar
line (about 5km), Deoghar S/s will be able to receive 250MVA of power through
Jasidih S/s and Dumka S/s, whereas the transformation capacity at Deoghar is
only 150MVA. The matter was discussed in 18th SCMPSP(ER) meeting and it
was decided to review the possible interconnections at Deoghar in a separate
meeting at CEA with Railways & other stakeholders.
27.3 In regard to above, a meeting was held on 13.06.2017 (Minutes is at Annexure-
27.1), in which representative of CTU informed that POWERGRID has closed
the ERSS-XVI project involving construction of Banka (PG) - Deoghar 132kV
D/C line and the same was informed to CEA vide letter dated 27-10-2016.
27.4 In the meeting held on 13-06-2017, representative of BSPTCL stated that
BSPTCL can supply power with exiting system to Deoghar (Jharkhand) through
132kV Sultanganj - Deoghar S/C line during off-peak hours only, as the bus bars
capacity at Sultanganj is inadequate. However, supply during peak hours would
be possible only after strengthening of bus bar at Sultanganj, which is likely to
be completed in next six months.
27.5 Director (PSPA-2), CEA, CEA informed that the proposed Deoghar-Jasidih
132kV D/C line (by JUSNL) and strengthening of 132kV bus at Sultanganj (by
BSPTCL) are likely to enhance the reliability of power supply to the Railways
TSS at Deoghar. In view of above, it was decided to drop the proposal of
construction of Banka (PG) - Deoghar 132kV D/C line.
27.6 Members agreed for dropping of Banka (PG) – Deoghar 132kV D/c line (i.e.
ERSS-XVI scheme).
28. Upgradation of 132kV bus arrangement at 400/220/132kV Malda S/s of
POWERGRID
28.1 Representative of POWERGRID stated that Single Main & Transfer (SMT)
scheme is functional at 132kV level and Double Main & Transfer (DMT) scheme
at 400kV& 220kV levels at Malda S/s. The transformation capacity at Malda S/S
at 220/132kV is being upgraded from 370MVA (2x160MVA+1x50MVA) to
480MVA (3x160MVA) under ERSS-XX. The Malda 132kV main bus is of Single
Moose Conductor. Due to increased loading at 132kV level, problems in the main
bus are being encountered more often. Malda (POWERGRID) – Malda
41
Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
(WBSETCL) 132kV D/c line has been reconductored from Panther (ACSR) to
Casablanca (ACCC) by WBSETCL, thereby increasing current carrying capacity
from 366A to 1120A per circuit . In the 18th ER-SCM, it was agreed that
WBSETCL may terminate Malda (WBSETCL) – Samsi 132kV S/c line at Malda
(POWERGRID) as an interim measure before summer of 2017 to relieve the
loading on Malda (POWERGRID) – Malda (WBSETCL) 132kV D/c line.
28.2 Further, he stated that Malda is an important substation in northern part of West
Bengal which remains critically loaded at 132kV level. With SMT scheme,
complete shutdown of 132kV bus is required for maintenance works in the main
bus. Thus, keeping in view the importance of Malda S/s and in order to improve
reliability at 132kV level, bus arrangement including switchgear are proposed to
be upgraded to Double Main (DM) scheme by POWERGRID, in a similar manner
as being implemented at Siliguri and Birpara 132kV level under other schemes.
Due to space constraints, the upgradation work needs to be carried out through
GIS bays.
28.3 Representative of CEA stated that Gazol 220/132kV Sub-station(2x160MVA)
with the LILO of Malda-Dalkhola 220kV D/C line of POWERGRID was approved
in 2nd-2013 meeting of the Standing Committee on Power System Planning of
Eastern Region (15th SCMPSP-ER) held on 27.08.2013. Proposed and existing
power map of Malda district is at Annexure- 28.1. Therefore reliability of power
supply increases in Malda district with the commissioning of Gazol sub-station
with associated lines.
28.4 Further, he stated that bus maintenance is not required frequently and requires
few hours of shutdown, which could be planned during off-peak hours and during
that period the power could be supplied to Malda district through Gazol sub
station. SMT scheme is having advantage of carrying out breaker maintenance
without shutdown/outage of corresponding load/ICT, which is not possible in the
proposed DM (Double Main) Bus scheme.
28.5 Member (Power System), CEA queried WBSETCL regarding the above
proposal.
28.6 Representative of WBSETCL replied that 220/132/33kV Gazol substation would
be commissioned by December, 2018. After commissioning of Gazol substation,
planned 132kV bus shut down/ maintenance could be taken at Malda
(POWERGRID) substation. Therefore, upgradation of 132kV bus arrangement
at Malda (POWERGRID) is not required.
28.7 In view of the above, members dropped the proposal for upgradation of 132kV
bus arrangement at 400/220/132kV Malda S/s of POWERGRID
29. Modification under 13th Plan scheme: Agenda by BSPTCL
29.1 Director, BSPTCL stated that, Sitamarhi, Chandauti and Saharsa (New)
substations were approved under ISTS in the 18th ER-SCM held on 13-
06-2016 to meet the future demand of Bihar by 2021-22. The scheme is being

29.5 Further, he informed that after the above modification 6 nos. 132 KV bays are
required at Saharsa (New) Substation (400/220/132 KV, 2x500+2x200 MVA)
whereas 2 nos. of 132 KV bays were approved at the Saharsa (New) Substation.
He requested RECTPCL (Bid Process Coordinator for ERSS-XXI) to include the
6 nos. of 132 KV bays instead of 2 nos. of 132 KV bays at Saharasa(new) and
accordingly scope of work could be modified.
29.6 Director, CEA stated that ERSS-XXI is in the advanced stage of tendering by
RECTPCL. It would be difficult to change the scope of ERSS-XXI at this stage.
It would be better if BSPTCL would construct these additional 132kV line bays
at Saharsa on their own, these additional bays could be constructed in matching
time frame of their connecting lines.
29.7 Members agreed for the above changes in the intra-state system of BSPTCL,
Bihar. It was also decided that the additional 132kV line bays at Saharsa (New)
ISTS S/s may be constructed by BSPTCL at its own cost.
30. To provide one additional 400/220kV, 500MVA ICT at Patna (POWERGRID)
30.1 Director, BSPTCL informed that the power demand of Patna and surrounding
areas is increasing at faster rate. The load requirement of central and eastern
Patna is substantial due to presence of various commercial, institutional &
educational establishments, and dense urban population. The load demand is
largely fed by Patna (POWERGRID) S/s with the transformation capacity of
1X500 MVA + 1X315 MVA (to be replaced with 500MVA). The connected load
to the above GSS is as follows:-
(a) 220/132kV GSS Gaurichak– 1X160 + 2X150 MVA= 460 MVA
(b) 220/132/33kV GSS Khagaul – 4X100 MVA = 400 MVA
(c) 220/132/33kV GSS Fatuha – 5X100 MVA = 500 MVA
(d) 220/132/33kV Bihta (New) – 2X160 MVA = 320 MVA (Likely to be
commissioned at the end of 2017).
30.2 To cater the growing demand of state capital, three new 400/220kV intra-state
substations (Bihta, Gaighat and Fathua) with 2x500MVA transformation capacity
were planned around Patna area in 2010-11 for completion in 12th plan.

its loading, which requires compatibility of 132kV main bus bar, bay equipment
etc. at both Purnea (POWERGRID) and Purnea (BSPTCL) GSS ends.
31.2 BSPTCL has awarded the contract for R&M of Purnea (BSPTCL) GSS, which
includes the upgradation of bus bar & bay equipment to handle enhanced
capacity of line due to reconductoring using HTLS conductor. These works are
expected to be completed shortly. For drawing optimum power from Purnea
(POWERGRID) end, bus & bay equipment must be capable to sustain the load.
The matter was discussed in 134th OCC meeting held on 11.07.2017 at ERPC,
Kolkata also.
31.3 Director (PSPA-2) informed that POWERGRID vide its letter dated 10-08-2017
has clarified that, in order to improve reliability of 132kV system at Purnea
(POWERGRID) 220/132kV S/s, the 132kV bus scheme along with switchgear is
already being upgraded under ERSS-XII scheme from Single Main & Transfer
(AIS) to Double Main (GIS) with 132kV bay equipment and bus bar capable of
handling 1250A and 2000A respectively. The work would be completed by 30-
09-2017.
31.4 Members noted the status of upgradation of bus bar & bay equipment at Purnea
(POWERGRID) & Purnea (BSPTCL) to handle enhanced capacity of line due to
reconductoring using HTLS conductor.
32. Limiting fault current level at 400kV bus at Farakka TPS (NTPC)
32.1 Director (PSPA-2), CEA informed that CTU had intimated that three phase fault
level at Farakka TPS (NTPC) at 400kV bus is found to be exceeding the
designed short time current rating of equipment of 40kA. In this regard, a meeting
was held on 13.06.2017 at CEA, New Delhi.
32.2 In the meeting, representative of CTU stated as follows:
(a) The three phase fault level at Farakka TPS (NTPC) at 400kV bus is found to be
exceeding the designed short time current rating of equipment (i.e. 40kA).
Presently, the fault level is about 46kA. Accordingly, system studies have been
performed to propose measures to limit the fault current level by adopting various
technical options like - bus splitting, switching arrangement, bypassing of lines,
which were terminating at the specific substation or installation of series reactor
or installation of fault current limiter etc. Moreover, the fault level of Farakka
generation switchyard in 2021-22 time-frame is expected to be about 57.6kA.
The expected power flow and fault current at Farakka bus is shown below:
47
Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
Power Flow

Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
Fault Current
(b) To limit the fault current level at Farakka, it is proposed to bypass Durgapur –
Farakka (150km) 400kV D/c and Farakka – Kahalgaon (95km) 400kV 1st D/c
(ckt-1 & 2) lines outside the switchyard so as to form Durgapur – Kahalgaon
400kV D/c line. With this arrangement fault level at Farakka reduces to 47kA
from 57.5kA in the timeframe of 2021-22.
(c) In order to further reduce the fault level, it was proposed to sectionalise the
Farakka 400kV bus and install a 12 ohm series reactor between the two bus
sections as per arrangement shown below. With this proposed rearrangement
the fault level of the two bus sections viz. Farakka-A and Farakka-B comes down
to 33.5kA and 37.5kA respectively. Study results showing feeder wise power flow
and fault current contribution (with and without series reactor) is shown below:

32.3 From above study results, it may be observed that power flow on the
transmission lines connected at either sections of Farakka bus is within
acceptable limits.
32.4 In the meeting, representative of NTPC informed that the Auxiliary power supply
system for the entire Farakka generating station is derived from a common 33kV
system which is fed from the generation voltage level through Two number tie
transformers connected in Section-A and One number tie transformer connected
in Section-B. Further, presently there is no provision of segregation of Auxiliary
power supply system (at 33kV level) between the units connected on Bus
section-A (Units # 1,2,3 & 4) and Bus section-B (Units # 5 & 6) respectively. As
51
Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
such in case of voltage and angle difference between the two 400 kV Bus
sections, huge amount of unintended power flow may occur through the station
33kV supply system risking the reliability and safety of the system and may lead
to interruptions in the station auxiliary power supply.
32.5 In the meeting held on 13-06-2017, following were agreed:
(i) Keeping in view the present fault level of 46kA at Farakka substation, it was
opined that initially only Durgapur – Farakka (150km) 400kV D/c and Farakka
– Kahalgaon (95km) 400kV 1st D/c (ckt-1 & 2) lines may be bypassed outside
the switchyard so as to form Durgapur – Kahalgaon 400kV D/c line by
POWERGRID. With above modified arrangement the fault level at Farakka
in present time-frame reduces to about 35kA (provided Kahalgaon 400kV bus
is split by NTPC as planned, otherwise the fault level at Farakka substation
would be about 36.5kA).
(ii) CTU would study for the maximum voltage and angle difference between the
400kV bus sections between of Farakka-A and Farakka-B and the report
would be shared with NTPC and CEA.
(iii) NTPC would study the proposal of series reactor in detail and submit their
comments/observations, if any.
(iv) Based on comments/study results mentioned at (ii) & (iii) above, the proposal
of bus splitting and installation and implementation of series reactor at
Farakka Generating station would be reviewed in a special meeting at CEA
along with NTPC and POWERGRID.
32.6 ERPC informed that Farraka STPS (Unit 1 to 5) has been identified under
projects considered for retirement as per new environmental norms (thermal
station units without space for FGD installation and attaining age of 25 years on
01/01/2022)
32.7 Director (PSPA-2), CEA queried regarding the status of Kahalgaon bus split.
Representative of NTPC informed that Kahalgaon bus split would be
commissioned by 2018. In view of increasing fault level, NTPC was requested to
expedite implementation of bus splitting at 400kV level at Kahalgaon switchyard.
32.8 Chief Engineer (PSPA-II), CEA expressed that 4 number 400kV line bays would
be available after the above bypassing arrangement. Therefore, there should be
some plan to utilize these bays. Representative of NTPC stated that the cost of
these bays has already been capitalized.
32.9 Representative of NLDC expressed that line reactor might be required for newly
formed Durgapur – Kahalgaon D/c line. Representative of CTU informed that the
length of the line would be around 240km and it is a twin moose conductor line,
hence as per the study, line reactor is not required.
32.10 In view of the above, members agreed that Durgapur – Farakka (150km) 400kV
D/c and Farakka – Kahalgaon (95km) 400kV 1st D/c (ckt-1 & 2) lines may be

(ii) Talcher-III project is located at about 20km from Angul (ISTS substation) and
10km from Meramundali/Meramundali-B (OPTCL substations). Accordingly,
load flow studies have been performed for evolving evacuation system for
Talcher-III project considering following two alternatives:
(a) Talcher-III – Angul 400kV D/c (Triple Snowbird) line
(b) Talcher-III – Meramundali-B 400kV D/c (Triple Snowbird) line
(iii) Major load centres of Odisha are located near Angul, Meramundali, Khuntuni,
Pandiabil, Paradeep, Duburi, Mendhasal and Bhadrak areas. In the Base
Case study results i.e. without Talcher-III generation project, the said load
centres of Odisha mainly draws about 1225MW power from Angul and
225MW from Baripada ISTS substations.
(iv) Study results with two alternative systems has been discussed below:
A. Talcher-III – Angul 400kV D/c (Triple Snowbird) line – ISTS system
Three cases have been studied for this alternative.

(vi) From the above study results, it may be inferred that, LILOs of Talcher –
Meramundali and Meramundali – Bolangir 400kV S/c lines at Angul needs
to be by-passed to control the fault level at Meramundali S/s under normal
operating condition even without Talcher-III. The necessary arrangements
to effect this is already under implementation wherein provision has been
kept to restore the LILO of above line at Angul bus as and when required
particularly in case of grid incidents like outage of lines/generations etc.
(vii) After bypassing the LILOs under normal operating condition, Odisha would
be devoid of ISTS power from Angul which was earlier feeding the load
centres at Meramundali, Mendhasal and Duburi etc. Thus, in order to feed
these load centres and new emerging load centres like Khuntuni,
Narendrapur, Bhadrak and Paradeep, Talcher-III project may be connected
to Meramundali-B. This would strengthen the Odisha grid, improve voltage
profile in these areas and reduce losses in the Odisha system. Moreover, it
is recommended to LILO Meramundali – Bolangir line at Meramundali-B so
as to enable even loading of Meramundali – Khuntuni and Meramundali-B –

Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
34.9 Members opined that as the implementation of Talcher-III has been deferred in
a high level meeting of Odisha Government, therefore the evacuation system for
Talcher-III may be planned and finalized in Standing Committee Meeting after
finalization of its implementation schedule.
35. Approval for construction of 2 nos. 400/220kV substation at Bhadrak and
Paradip by OPTCL with revised connectivity.
35.1 Representative of OPTCL informed that, in the 18th standing committee meeting
held on 13th June’2016 at Kolkata, in principle approval were given for two nos.
of 400/220kV intra-state substations at Bhadrak and Paradip for the Plan period
2017-2022. The connectivity plan needs to be revised.
35.2 The revised connectivity plan for 400/220kV Bhadrak and Paradip intra-state
substation is given below.
LILO of Pandiabil – Baripada (Kuchei) 400kV D/c line at 400/220kV S/s at
Bhadrak
LILO of Duburi – Bhadrak 220kV D/c line at Bhadrak
New Duburi – Paradip 400kV D/c line
Paradip – Pratapsasan 220kV D/c line
PART-B: The future plan (for information only)
Establishment of 400/220kV sub-station at Dhamara
Dhamara – Bhadrak 400kV D/c line
Dhamara – Paradip 400kV D/c line
Paradip – Pandiabil 400kV D/c line
35.3 In regard to time frame for implementation of 400/220kV sub-station at Dhamara,
OPTCL informed that the S/s is planned to be implemented beyond 2021-22.
35.4 Director (PSPA-2) queried regarding transformation capacity of these
substations. Representative of OPTCL stated that transformation capacity of
these substations would be 2x500MVA along with 1x80MVAR bus reactor.
35.5 Representative of CTU stated that 80MVAR reactor is not much effective in
controlling voltage as short circuit level is in increasing trend. Therefore, it would
be better to have 125MVAR bus reactor.
35.6 Members agreed for 2x500MVA, 400/220kV substations along with 1x125MVAr
bus reactor at Bhadrak and Paradip with the above connectivity by OPTCL as
intrastate transmission system to be implemented by OPTCL. It was also
decided that OPTCL may obtain approval for 400/220kV substation at Dhamara
in future SCM meetings once its implementation schedule is firmed up.
36. Approval for connectivity of 400/220kV sub-station at Narendrapur to
400/220kV Jaynagar/ Jeypore (PG) with a 400kV D/c line in place of 400kV
Angul –Narendrapur – Gazuwaka D/c line
59
Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
36.1 Director (PSPA-II) informed that in the 18th standing committee meeting, Angul-
Narendrapur-Gajuwaka 400kV link was proposed as an additional link to
Jeypore- Gajuwaka 400kV link for enhancement of export to Gajuwaka up to
1000MW. Whereas with the commissioning of 765kV D/c Angul-Srikakulam link,
an additional path to Gajuwaka has been created through Angul – Srikakulam –
Vemagiri – Gajuwaka and 765kV D/c Angul-Srikakulam line would further be
connected to Load centres of Andhra Pradesh (SR) through 765kV and 400kV
lines.
36.2 Representative of OPTCL has proposed following revised connectivity plan for
400/220kV S/s at Narendrapur (intra-state), the sub-station is already approved
in the 18th standing committee meeting.
(a) 400kV D/c line Pandiabil (PG) to Narendrapur.
(b) 400kV D/c line from Narendrapur to Jeypur PG to be LILOed at 400 kV
Switching Station at Theruvali.
(c) The Theruvali Switching Station to be converted to a 400/220kV S/S when
the demand grows.
36.3 Representative of OPTCL stated that Narendrapur – Pandiabil – Mendhasal –
Khuntuni – Meramundali/Meramundali-B 400kV D/c line with the approval of
Narendrapur – Jeypore (POWERGRID) 400kV D/c link will improve the fault
level. With these interconnections, the reliability of the system would also
increase as Khuntuni – Mendhasal – Pandiabil – Narendrapur – Theruvali –
Jeypore – Bolangir – Meramundli/ Meramundali-B 400kV ring would be formed.
Hence, Angul – Narendrapur – Gajuwaka 400kV link may be dropped and in lieu
of this the Narendrapur – Jeypore (POWERGRID) link, proposal of Odisha may
be agreed.
36.4 Representative of CTU stated that The Gazuwaka HVDC back to back converter
station has a capacity of 2x500MW. Power is fed to this S/s through Jeypore –
Gazuwaka 400kV D/c line. Presently, the flow through the HVDC station is
restricted to 600-650MW due to feeds to Gazuwaka and Jeypore substations
through weak transmission network (comprising of long 400kV lines).
36.5 He further stated that Jeypore S/s is fed from two 400kV lines viz. Angul/Bolangir
– Jeypore and Indravati – Jeypore 400kV S/c lines (ACSR Twin Moose). Outage
of any of these lines limits the power feed to Jeypore and Gazuwaka substations,
thereby limiting the full utilisation of Gazuwaka HVDC. Thus, under outage of
one circuit of the D/c line Gazuwaka HVDC cannot be operated at its rated
capacity of 1000MW. Therefore, to fully utilize the capacity of HVDC station
additional feed to Gazuwaka through the following lines were proposed:
Angul – Narendrapur (New) 400kV D/c (Triple Snowbird) line
Narendrapur (New) – Gazuwaka 400kV D/c (Triple Snowbird) line
36.6 Director(PSPA-2), CEA stated that sufficient additional capacity would be
available in Angul-Srikakulam 765kV D/c (Hexa Zebra) line (ER-SR link) by
60
Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
2021-22 time frame, this line would further be connected to Load centres of
Andhra Pradesh (SR) through 765kV and 400kV lines. Loading of the line by
2021-22 time frame is expected to be around 1100-1600MW, whereas the
transmission capacity of the above inter-regional link is around 4200MW.
36.7 It was also informed that implementation / scrapping of Talcher – Behrampur –
Gajuwaka 400kV D/c ISTS line is not yet decided and it is under jurisdiction of
court.
36.8 Director (PSPA-2), CEA stated that a meeting regarding the above agenda item
was held on 18.08.2017 at CEA with CTU & Odisha. In the meeting, it was
agreed to take up 400kV D/c line from Narendrapur to Jeypore (PG) and LILO
of this line at 400kV switching station at Theruvali in the SCM of ER in place of
proposed Angul – Narendrapur – Gazuwaka 400kV D/c ISTS line. The proposal
would be executed by OPTCL as intra-state system.
36.9 After detailed deliberations, members decided for a separate meeting at CEA to
evolve a comprehensive system with implementation time schedule for
evacuation plan of 3x800MW Power Plant of M/s OTPCL (Odisha Thermal
Power Corporation Ltd.) at Kamakshyanagar, Odisha with Narendrapur –
Theruvali – Jeypore (under intra-state). After finalisation, the issue may be taken
up for further discussion in the subsequent Standing Committee Meeting.
37. Proposed evacuation plan of 3x800MW Power Plant of M/s OTPCL (Odisha
Thermal Power Corporation Ltd.) at Kamakshyanagar, Odisha: Agenda by
OPTCL
37.1 Representative of OPTCL informed that M/s OTPCL plans to establish a
3x800MW generating plant at Kamakshyanagar by the Year 2021-22. OPTCL
has planned to evacuate full power with the following transmission elements, to
be implemented under intra-state scheme by OPTCL.
765kV Connectivity
The 765kV Switching Station of Kamakhyanagar to be connected with Angul
PG, with 765kV D/c line.
A 765/400kV Sub-station at Begunia with 765kV D/c line from
Kamakhyanagar to Begunia.
37.2 OPTCL informed that power evacuation from M/s OTPCL would be through
765/400kV Begunia S/s and 765/400kV Angul S/s. As per proposal Begunia
would be further connected to LILO of Mendhashal - Khuntuni D/c & LILO of
Pandiabil - Narendrapur D/c 400kV lines for evacuation of power to the load
centres at Mendhashal, Khuntuni, Narendrapur, Pandiabil and Duburi. The
61
Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
connectivity with Angul would add stability to the evacuation plan. OPTCL
requested for providing two line bays at Angul at 765kV level for Odisha.
37.3 The detailed single line diagram of the Proposed Plan with length of transmission
line is at Annexure-37.1. Schematic of 765kV and 400kV transmission network
with load flows of Odisha State for 2021-22 is at is at Annexure-37.2.
37.4 In the meeting held on 18.08.2017 at CEA the evacuation system of Talcher-III
project of NTPC and proposals of OPTCL were discussed with POWERGRID
(CTU), POSOCO, OPTCL and GRIDCO. The system studies were performed
after the meeting as per the deliberation in the meeting and Odisha’s various
proposals. The study results (load flow, observations and fault current) are at
Annexure 37.3.
37.5 On a query regarding time frame for implementation of generation project,
OPTCL informed that the generation plant may come up during 2022-27. OPTCL
further informed that Switching Station at Kamakhyanagar may be constructed
before the commissioning of M/s OTPCL generation project. And after
commissioning of generation project, the same may be connected to
Kamakhyanagar Switching Station.
37.6 Member (Power System), CEA stated that after commissioning of 3x800MW M/s
OTPCL generation project, Odisha would be surplus in generation and the
excess generation would be injected to ISTS network. For transfer of surplus
power outside the state, Odisha would need to apply for LTA for transfer through
ISTS. Accordingly, he suggested that a comprehensive study may be carried out
with all concerned.
37.7 In view of the above discussions, members decided that a separate meeting may
be held at CEA to discuss the issues and finalise the power evacuation system
for Kamakhyanagar (3x800MW) generation project. The evacuation system
finalised after discussion, may be taken up for further discussion in the
subsequent Standing Committee Meeting.
38. Evacuation of power from 2x660MW project of OPGC
38.1 Representative of OPTCL informed that the 2x660MW generating plant of OPGC
is in advance stage of commissioning. The evacuation plan envisaged was as
follows:
(a) Earlier, out of 2 units of OPGC, one unit was connected to STU and the
second was connected to ISTS for evacuation of power to Odisha through
STU network and to remaining beneficiaries of ER through ISTS. Accordingly,
bus split was planned at OPGC. One 400kV D/c line was planned to be
connected to Lapanga from state allocated unit and another unit was
proposed to be connected to Sundargarh (Jharsuguda) through 400kV D/c
(triple snowbird) ISTS line. The ISTS line is already under implementation
through TBCB and is in advanced stages of commissioning.
62
Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
(b) Now, the total power of OPGC has been allocated to Odisha. The matter was
discussed in a meeting held at CEA on 18-08-2017. Therein, Odisha
mentioned that since Odisha is going to avail the entire power, the OPGC –
Jharsuguda 400kV D/c (Triple Snowbird) ISTS line may be transferred from
M/s Odisha Generation Phase-II Transmission Limited to M/s OPTCL. Thus,
it will be a STU line and Odisha would not have to bear ISTS charges for drawl
of its share of power. It was decided that the matter may be taken up for
discussion in the SCM.
38.2 Representative of CTU stated that CERC has given transmission licence to M/s
Odisha Generation Phase-II Transmission Limited for implementation of OPGC
– Jharsuguda 400kV D/c (Triple Snowbird) ISTS line. The suggested change in
status of the line from ISTS to STU due to proposed takeover by OPTCL may be
taken up with CERC. He further informed that OPGC is having 600MW LTA to
ISTS grid. In case entire power allocation is made to Odisha then OPGC would
need to withdraw ISTS Connectivity and relinquish ISTS LTA with applicable
commercial liabilities.
38.3 Alternatively, representative of Odisha requested that approval may be granted
to construct two D/c line from OPGC to Lapanga for evacuation of entire power
to Odisha.
38.4 Members felt that as the issue of transfer of ISTS asset to STU is not in the
purview of standing committee, the same be taken up by OPTCL at an
appropriate forum.
39. Connectivity of Railways TSS with ISTS network for Ludhiana-Delhi-
Sonenagar routes
39.1 Representative from Railways mentioned that, Indian Railways is planning to
connect its TSSs between Ludhiana-Delhi-Sonnagar routes of Railways by way
of construction of associated infrastructure including transmission lines and bay
extension work at ISTS points preferably at 220kV level.
39.2 Railway Board, vide its letter no. 2012/Elect (G) /150/1 Pt – II dated 28.12.2016,
has requested for connectivity to railways from various ISTS points. Power
requirement of Railways from the nearby proposed ISTS points is as follows:

40.2 Coal for the project is planned to be sourced from Dulanga captive coal mine
allocated to NTPC by GoI which is located at a distance of 10km from the project.
40.3 NTPC had approached OPTCL for power supply to Dulanga mine as HT
consumer however it has been asked by GRIDCO to draw the power for this
mine from GRIDCO share of power in Darlipali directly from the generation
switchyard in view of vicinity to the generation project. As such suitable
arrangement has been made in the auxiliary power supply system of the project
for providing 15 MVA power to the linked mine at 33kV voltage level.
64
Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
40.4 Further, GRIDCO has also allotted additional 15MVA of power for Manoharpur
coal mine of OCPL(in vicinity of Dulanga mines) and has asked them to draw
power directly from DSTPP generation switchyard as being done in case of
Dulanga mines. It may be noted that these load centres are radially fed from the
generation switchyard.
40.5 Further, for meeting the power supply requirement of captive Chati Bariatu &
Kerandari and Pakri Barwadih coal mines, 2 nos. 220kV feeder from North
Karanpura project has been planned. Power from NKSTPP to mines also shall
be drawn in radial mode.
40.6 In view of the above NTPC requested that above drawls may be considered as
drawl by GRIDCO/ Jharkhand from their share of allocated power from Darlipalli
and North Karanpura projects. Also required interface energy meters shall be
installed by CTU.
40.7 Members expressed that this issue does not come under the purview of Standing
Committee. MS, ERPC advised that NTPC could place this issue in the next
OCC meeting of ERPC. NTPC agreed for the same.
41. Interim arrangement for power evacuation from Nabinagar TPP (3X660MW)
41.1 Director (PSPA-2) said that, the 1st unit of Nabinagar TPP (3x660MW) is in
advance stage of completion and anticipated to be synchronized in Oct' 17. The
scheduled commissioning of this unit is in Nov' 17. The evacuation system for
Nabinagar TPP includes Nabinagar - Gaya 400kV D/C (Quad) transmission line
which was awarded by POWERGRID in Apr'16 with commissioning schedule as
38 months. However, POWERGRID had agreed to complete the line on best
effort basis matching with commissioning of the 1st unit of the generation project.
The anticipated date of completion of the line is Dec'17 which may be delayed
further and hence the completion schedule of the line may not match with
commissioning date of 1st unit of Nabinagar TPP. It is, therefore requested that
interim arrangement of evacuation of power for Nabinagar TPP may be evolved.
41.2 Representative of POWERGRID stated that Nabinagar-II – Gaya 400kV D/c line
is crossing the Daltanganj – Sasaram 400kV D/c line. Sasaram to crossing-point
and Nabinagar-II to crossing point lines are under advance stages of completion
and the two sections can be joined to form Nabinagar-II – Sasaram 400kV S/c
line as interim arrangement for connection of Nabinagar-II to grid. After
completion of Nabinagar-II – Gaya line, the interim arrangement would be
removed.
41.3 Members agreed for the interim arrangement for Nabinagar-II as proposed by
POWERGRID.
42. Revision in capacity of 4th 220/132kV ICT at Rangpo S/s under ERSS-XX
42.1 Representative of POWERGRID informed that installation of 4th 220/132kV,
160MVA ICT at Rangpo S/s was planned under ERSS-XX in order to meet the
N-1 reliability criteria in the 18th Standing Committee Meeting of ER. About
65
Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
250MW power from three generation projects viz. Chuzachen (99MW), Bhasmey
(51MW) and Dikchu (98MW) would be injected at 132kV level at Rangpo S/s.
42.2 POWERGRID has informed that 220/132kV, 160MVA ICT which is about 89-
109MT cannot be transported to Rangpo S/s, as the maximum load bearing
capacity of the bridge en-route Siliguri to Rangpo is only about 80MT. Thus, it is
proposed that 220/132kV, 100MVA ICT may be installed at Rangpo in place of
220/132kV, 160MVA ICT as the 4th ICT under ERSS-XX. As such, the
220/132kV, 4x100MVA transformation capacity would be enough to meet the N-
1 security criteria.
42.3 Members agreed for the revision in scope of work from 220/132kV, 160MVA ICT
to 220/132kV, 100MVA ICT to be installed at Rangpo as the 4th ICT under
already approved ERSS-XX scheme.
43. Bus splitting of POWERGRID sub-stations
43.1 MS, ERPC stated that bus splitting at 400kV Maithon, Durgapur and Biharsharif
substations were agreed in the standing committee. Latest status is that the bus
splitting of these substations have been completed. During third party protection
audit of 400kV Maithon S/s on 18th May 2017, it was observed that bus splitting
scheme at 400kV Maithon S/s has been commissioned, but not in service.
Subsequently in 134th OCC, it was informed that the bus splitting scheme at
400kV Maithon and Biharshariff would be operationalized after getting the
consent from CTU.
43.2 Representative of CTU informed that the study for implementation of bus-
splitting scheme at above 3 locations is in process. In view of changed grid
scenario and the action plan for commencing the bus-split operation would be
indicated shortly.
43.3 Members noted and requested CTU to provide action plan for commencing the
bus-split operation at the above substations.
43.4 CTU vide letter dated 11-09-2017 has mentioned that Biharsharif and Maithon
400kV bus split arrangement may be operationalized with immediate effect.
Though fault current at Durgapur has almost reached the design limit, with the
operationalization of split bus at Kahalgaon (expected by Dec 2018) and the
Farakka bypass scheme (approved in 19th SCM), the fault current level at
Durgapur reduces to about 37kA. Therefore, the bus splitting at Durgapur may
be operationalized at a later date.
44. LILO Connection of 132kV Sonenagar-Rihand (UP,NR) Circuit-I at NPGC,
Nabinagar for providing startup power to NPGC
44.1 MS, ERPC stated that during 131st OCC meeting of ERPC, BSPTCL informed
that NPGC, Nabinagar has applied for 65 MVA start-up power and initially they
will draw around 5-10MW power through 132kV Sonenagar-Rihand-I line LILOed
at NPGC, Nabinagar. It was also pointed that 132kV Sonenagar-Rihand (UP,NR)
Circuit-I is lying idle charged since last 5-6 years and presently it remains
66
Minutes of 19th Standing Committee Meeting on Power System Planning of ER
charged on no load from Sonenagar end & open at Rihand (UP) end. It was
informed that NPGC, Nabinagar will only draw startup power for commissioning
activities through the above LILO as an interim arrangement and injection of
power/trial-run will be done after the completion of 400kV ATS of NPGC,
Nabinagar. The issue was also discussed with CTU and CEA. CEA, vide their
letter 69/2/PSPA-II/2017/362, dated 08.05.2017, communicated their no-
objection. CTU also expressed the same.
44.2 ERPC vide fax message no. 259 dated 09.05.17 has given the confirmation to
SLDC, UPPTCL with a copy to all other utilities that as per the decision of OCC,
NPGC is going to start availing the start-up power from BSPTCL by closing
Sonnagar-NPGC 132kV LILO section of 132kV Sonnagar-Rihand-I line keeping
the line open at Rihand end. It was also mentioned that it is an interim
arrangement subject to post facto approval of Standing Committee of ER in its
forthcoming meeting.
44.3 Members agreed for post facto approval for the said interim arrangement till
completion of 400kV ATS of Nabinagar-II. It was also decided that upon
completion of 400kV ATS of Nabinagar-II, the interim arrangement shall be
removed.
45. OPGW and Communication System for new ISTS system
45.1 Representative of POWERGRID stated the following:
(i) Establishment of data and voice connectivity for new substation with RLDC
is mandatory for energizing the transmission system as per CERC
guidelines.
(ii) Presently, new transmission systems are being implemented on TBCB
route. The TSP for execution of transmission line has to provide OPGW from
gantry to gantry for communication purpose. Similarly TSP executing the
substation work shall be responsible for installation of STM-16
communication equipments along with Fibre Optic Approach cable and
FODP etc. for OPGW connectivity.
(iii) While finalizing the RfP of new transmission system, followings provisions
with regard to data and voice connectivity are required:
(a) Transmission line: Certain transmission system is being implemented
by doing LILO of existing line which is not having OPGW. In order to
provide OPGW connectivity to LILO substation, OPGW on main line is
essentially required and is to be provided by the owner of the
transmission line. However, cost for the same may be booked in the
project cost of the new Transmission System.
(b) Sub-Station: The communication equipment (SDH and PDH, PMU,
SAS/RTU, Approach cable & FODP) for new substation are included in
the RfP document. But the communication equipment of other end of
transmission line which is under ownership of POWERGRID/other utility

Minutes of the meeting regarding termination of 400kV lines at Jeerat (WB ETCL) /s und r
the ERSS-XV and ER S-XVOI sch eme held on 14.12.2016 at EA.
1. Chief Engineer PSP -II) CE welcomed the participants. H informed that a joint t am of
officials of WB ETCL, CEA, CTU, PFCCL, POWERGRID(ER-II) isited the Jeerat
sub tation of WB ETCL n 09th September, 2016 and had meeting on 101" S ptember, 2016
to addr the RoW onstraint for termination of Jeerat ew)-Jeerat(WB ET L) 400kY
D/c line at Jeerat(WBSE CL). Thi lin i to be implemented through TBCB as part of
ER S-XVIIT scheme with PF CL as BPC. He informed that WB ET L was r qu t d to
ubmit the d tailed survey report regarding easibility of overhead cros ing of exi ting line
mentioned at 2(i) to 2 iv) by two Die lines mentioned at 2( ) & 2(vi) for termination at GI
ext nsion of Jeerat S/ of WB TCL.
2. Following 400kV line are exi ting / under construction / planned at 400/220kV ubstation
of Jcerat (WBS TCL):
Existing:
Planned:
3.1 hief Engineer(P PA-ll) informed that WB TCL vid its letter dated 05.10.2016 bas
ubmitted the detail d surve rep rt fore arnining the p s ibility of o erhead ros ing of
e isting lines mentioned at 2(i) to 2(iv) by two D/c towers or Multi cir uit tower
mentioned t 2(v) & 2(vi for termination at GI extension of Jeerat S/s ofWB ET L.
3.2 Repre entative of WBS TC informed that the overhead crossing of th line either on
Double circuit or Multi circuit towers is not feasible. In both the case the height of
Double Ckt/Multi ckt towers will be in the range of 75-100 m and conductor after
verhead cros ing of the line . need to be brought down at normal gantry height 20-25 m)
73
within the limited space of 90 meters. This configuration will violate the minimum
electrical clearance required and to accommodate the lines, many structure including staff
quarters would have to be dismantled at existing Jeerat Sis. He added that in the multi ckt
tower, the lower ckt will be used for twin moose conductors and upper ckt will be for quad
moose. This configuration will have different tensions on tower at different heights.
3.3 Alternatively WBSETCL proposed that crossing portion o[ existing lines may be
dismantled and the lines may be terminated to the existing AIS bays qf Jeerat Sis through
GIS bus duct This arrangement may cost around Rs. 20-30 crores. WBSETCL further
recommended that the expenditure for this might be booked in ERSS-XV or ERSS -XVIII
i.e. as part of ISTS. This will remove the RoW constraints for the new lines and the two
new separate 400kV Die corridor can be constructed for ERS -XV and ERSS-XVI1I
schemes.
4. After detailed discussions, Chief Engineer (PSPA-II), CEA expressed that the sugge tion of
WBSETCL i.e. dismantling the crossing portion of the existing lines (ISTS and State lines)
and termination of the existing lines through GIS bus duct might be the appropriate option
as the new lines mentioned at 2(v) and 2(vi) can be directly terminated on separate double
ckt towers at normal height (around 4 5 meters) to new GIS extension area.
74
(iii) Optioo-3 (Dismantling of dead end towers and termination through GIS Bus duct
by POWERGRI D under 1ST ) : Under this option the additional work as uggest d
by WB ET L and mentioned at point 4 above would be implemented as IS S and to
b included in the scope of S-XV b ing implemented by POW RGRID.
Owner hip of th se works hall be of POWERGRID as TSTS scop and cost of these
re onfiguration (including those for the tate line to b recovered ns tariff by
POWERGRID. WBSETCL agre d to this propo al subject to approval of their
management.
Thu out of above options, the ptioo-3 was agreed. WB T L was requested to give
th ir official communication/ac eptance from their management on the propo al i.e.
di mantling the crossing portion of existing Line from (1 T and State line ) and
termination of the exi ting lines through GIS bu duct by POWERGR1D and wner hip
of same to POWERGRID. (Thi i similar to LI O of a State transmi i n line at an
l T I by POWERGRID).
ismantling of dead end tower and termination of existing line mention d at 2 (i)
to 2 iv) through G[S duct to the existing 400k Jeerat Al I (WB TCL).
(ii) It was al o agreed that the terminati n of the WB E CL lines mentioned at 2 (iii) &
2(i ) through GIS duct to the existjng 400kV Jeerat ATS Sis (WB T L) shall be
i 1plem nt d a I TS and included in the appro ed s ope of ERS -XV being
implement d by POWERGR1D and cost reco ered b POW RGRID a 1ST
transmi ion tariff.
( iii) Furth r. it wa als acknowledged that implementation of LILO of Sagardighi-
ubha gram 400kV at Jeerat along with as ociated Line bays shall get d layed by
about one year due to addition of abo e mentioned GI duct arrangement.
(iv) TI1e new lines mentioned at 2(v) and 2(vi) can be dir ctly terminated on eparate double
ckt towers at normal height (around 45 meter ) to new GI extension area.

Minutes of the meeting related to Connectivity of Railway TSSs with ISTS network in
Mughalsarai-Howrah Railway Route, held on 20.04.2017 at CEA.
List ~f
i,
participants is enclosed at Annexure-1.
\!l;
Member (Power System), CEA welcomed the participants and stated that in an earlier meeting
held in CEA on 07.10.2016, in regard to connectivity of Railways with ISTS network for the
Mughalsarai - Howrah and the Delhi - Bharuch routes, it was decided that the issue of
disconnection or paralleling of Railway TSS with STU network, would be further studied. To
discuss the matter, the meeting was being held.
1: CE (PSPA-11), CEA informed that Railways has proposed to connect their Trac.tiRn
Sub-stations (TSS) with ISTS points in Mughalsarai-Howrah route. The ident{ii~
ISTS substations are Patna, Gaya, Maithon, Durgapur, Lakhisarai and Subhashgram.
He expressed that simultaneously paralleling of Railway TSS with STU and ISTS
network may increase the fault level and would result in stranded infrastructure. He
stated that, at present, Railways are getting supply from STU network on this route. He
asked Railways about the necessity of another infrastructure for Railways, when they
are able to draw power from STU network in a reliable manner.
2. Director (Railways) informed that the decision of Railways to get connected to ISTS
network and disconnection from STU network is purely based on economics of getting
cheaper power from other sources through ISTS network. He, however, confirmed that
they are getting reliable power from STU network. He further informed that the
infrastructure for Railways connectivity to STU network was funded by Railways and
built by respective STUs as a deposit work for Railways. As per the contract agreement
with STUs, the assets are maintained by STUs.
3. Member (Power System), CEA requested Railways to share the economic analysis of
shifting of Railway load from STUs/DVC to ISTS in this route. Director (Railways)
said that he would send the report immediately.
4. D.C.E QJV~) stated that Railways connectivity to DVC network (from generator point
upto 25 kV system) was created and funded by DVC .and not by Railways. At present
i;.)
total Railway load of DVC is about 320MW, which they supply to Railway, at an
~~ .
'average cost of Rs.4.80/ ~i{ Which is quite competitive price considering the higher
reliability of power supply from two sources spe.cially for Railways. He also stated
that DVC has already tied up for generation· projects and made investment in
· transmission considering recent specific request from the Railways. Hence, proposal of
Railways to disconnection from DVC would result these infrastructure, as redundant
97
\
\
\\
\
and investment as non-performing asset for DVC. Before agreeing to Railways \
proposal based on their economic consideration, economic aspects of DVC/STUs \
should also be considered.
5. Director (Railways) agreed with the DVC statement and stated that considering above
facts, the case ofDVC would be resolved mutually. However, he further added that the
scheme for disconnection in Mughalsarai-Howrah route have been planned in a holistic
way and as per plan , Railway would be disconnected from DVC also on this route. He
said that these disconnections would be carried out in accordance with the agreements
between Railways and the STUs/DVC. He indicated that Railways can disconnect from
STU/DVC, giving legal notice as per these agreements.
6. Chief Engineer (PSPA-II), CEA stated that Railways may intimate the STUs and I)VC .!-.,:--"},,
regarding the date from which Railways would likely to disconnect, so that they pl~
for utilization of those network for other purposes, if possible. Representative of
Railways replied that the disconnection may takes place in around (3-5) years time.
Railways said that they can send advance intimation to STUs for disconnectiop., once
the scheme of connection with ISTS gets agreed in the Standing Committee of CEA.
7. Director(BSPTCL) stated that Railways connectivity network with STU were built as
deposit work by STU for Railways, however as per the legal agreement, the
infrastructure belongs to the STU. He added that the load of Railways TSS would be
around 80 to 100 MW at each 220 kV point and this would lead to under-utilisation
of bays/lines/space at each ISTS points and thus is not an optimal planning as per the
Electricity Act. He added that space for 2 No. 220kV Bays at ISTS S/s have been kept
for future expansion of states and in this case the user would he only the Railways and ·
thus no space would be left for STUs to meet their future requirement .. He also
informed that there is no space at Patna and Gaya ISTS S/s for Railways connectivity.
8. Chief Engineer (UPPTCL) stated that the infrastructure for Railways was created
considering Railways as important customer in UP. Now after disconnections, bays etc
would have to be utilised for other purposes. In future, if railways again requires
conne9tivity from STUs, this would not again be allotted to them .
.
9. AGM (POSOCO) expressed that for reliable supply to Railways, the STU and ISTS
(::
network may be kept- in...parallel. This would be, as per CEA's Planning Criteria of
Power System Planning for important loads. Chief Engineer (PSPA-1), CEA stated that
generally connectivity from two points Le both STU and 'ISTS are not recommended.
Two connectivity's for Railways, however can be considered either from STU'or ISTS.
GM(REMCL) Railways stated that they have planned their connectivity to TSS from
two ISTS supply points and shared their scheme (a copy of which is given at Annex-II)

' 10. Director (BSPTCL) stated that Railways load at Bihar would be around 200MW.
Recently, Bihar have allowed open access for 50MW to Railways and the remaining
may be granted gradually. He stated that state network would become stranded after
building Railway network with ISTS. This would be national wastage of resources and
Public money. He added that Railways may be advised to again look into the economics
of connectivity to ISTS points, as many of the states have already granted/ are in the
process of granting NOC for open access and as such there is no justification for getting
connected with ISTS.
11. Regarding control area for scheduling, metering and deviation, AGM(POSOCO)
informed that as per CERC order, there would be two control areas, in each state i.e.one
for RLDC and the other for SLDC( if they have connections from STU s also) for al;>qye
~ ;.~~f:·;,·
purposes.
12. It is noted that no representative from West Bengal and Jharkhand was present in the
meeting.
13. On the basis of above following was concluded.
1. Railways has to share the economic analysis of shifting of Railway load from
STUs/DVC to ISTS in this route, which is basis of their proposal. Representative
of Railways intimated that they would soon send the report.
11. As the transmission system is planned in an integrated manner, Railways were
advised to again look into the economics of connectivity to ISTS points, as many
of the states have already granted /are in the process of granting NOC for open
access.
111. Transmission system for delivery of power to Railways need to be planned in ,
according with the Electricity Act 2003 and thus taken up for discussion with
Standing Committee cop.stituted by CEA.
1v. No representative from West Bengal and Jharkhand was present in the meeting,,
Meeting ended with vote of thanks to the Chair.

Annexure-18.1
Introduction:
Orissa Integrated Power Limited (SPV for Odisha UMPP) has applied for LTA of
4000MW from Odisha UMPP (Bhedabahal, Odisha) with the following allocation:
Transmission System:
It has been assumed that Odisha UMPP shall consist of 6 generation units of
660MW each. As per coordinates provided, UMPP shall be established in proximity
of the existing 765/400kV Sundargarh (Jharsuguda) substation of POWERGRID. On
connecting the generation project to Sundargarh 765/400kV S/s, it was found that
the fault levels were exceeding the rated limits. Thus, in order to control the fault
level, split bus arrangement has been considered at UMPP switchyard with two bus
sections having 3 generation units of 660MW each.
From the above mentioned power allocation it is observed that about 1800MW is to
be transferred to beneficiaries in NR and about 600MW to WR. Accordingly, it is
proposed that high capacity 765kV AC transmission lines be planned from Odisha
UMPP in such a manner that power could be transferred to two routes viz. from ER
to WR and from ER to NR.

±800kV HVDC 3000MW (upgradable to 6000MW in future) Terminals at
Sundargarh (New) and Badarpur (New)
Observations:
From the above study results, it is observed that power flow in all the alternatives are
within acceptable limits. However, following are the observations for the above
mentioned alternatives:
Alternative-1:
It is observed that existing/under-construction evacuation corridors from Sundargarh
(Jharsuguda) are under-utilized. Further, as the expected cost of this alternative
would be high, this alternative does not appear to be the optimised transmission
system.
Alternative-2:
Page 2 of 3
108
It is observed that loading of transmission lines is similar whether LILO of
Sundargarh-A – Dharamjaygarh 765 kV D/c line is considered at Odisha UMPP-A or
LILO of Sundargarh-A – Raipur Pool 765 kV D/c line is considered at Odisha UMPP-
A section. Therefore, it is proposed that LILO of one of the 765kV D/c lines be done
at Odisha UMPP-A bus section depending on the proximity of transmission line route
from the UMPP. Odisha UMPP-B is proposed to be connected to Sundargarh-B
through 765kV D/c line
The power flows from Sundargarh-A and Sundargarh-B sections to Ranchi (New) via
Dharamjaygarh substation in WR through Sundargarh – Dharamjaygarh – Ranchi
(New) 765kV corridor. Further, there is a high capacity 765kV ER-NR corridor from
Gaya in ER to Varanasi and Balia substations in NR. Thus, by completing the
missing link i.e. Ranchi (New) – Gaya 765 kV D/c line, it shall be possible to connect
southern and northern portion of ER through strong 765kV link and this shall
enhance power flow on WR-ER-NR and ER-NR corridors and also increase
utilisation of the existing transmission capacity in ER-NR corridor in a better way.
Alternative-3:
In this alternative, Odisha UMPP-A section is proposed to be connected same as
mentioned in Alternative-2. However, in order to push more power through ER-NR
corridor, Odisha UMPP-B bus section has been directly connected to Ranchi (New)
through 765kV D/c line along with extension of 765kV D/c corridor to Gaya for further
transfer of power to Varanasi and Balia substations in Northern Region.
Power flow on the existing Dharamjaygarh – Ranchi (New) 765kV 2xS/c lines is low
in the base case itself. With construction of UMPP to Ranchi corridor it is observed
that power flow on Dharamjaygarh – Ranchi (New) link is further reduced, as the two
corridors become a parallel path (UMPP – Ranchi and UMPP – Dharamjaygarh –
Ranchi).
