SRLDC Black Start Restoration Procedure 2014

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 In an integrated power system, disturbances of major / minor nature can occur under
various contingencies. Such disturbances can result in collapse of a part of the
system or sometimes entire system, requiring restoration of the affected system in
the minimum possible time. In order to achieve the same, it is therefore necessary to
have a well laid down restoration procedure under various conditions of partial black
out and /or total black out of the system.

1.2 In the event of a black out, the initial moments are extremely precious and it requires
the right decision to be taken at first instance for speedy restoration of the system.
Any lapse or delay in taking the right initial decision may prove to be very costly.
Hence, it is of paramount importance that all the operating personnel of Load
Despatch Centres and the officials involved in grid operation should be thoroughly
conversant with the restoration procedure so as to minimise the time taken in
restoration of the system after partial /total black out. Further during the Restoration
process the system operators, Power station and Substation personnel must act in
consonance to normalize the grid.

1.3 SRLDC has been publishing the document on Black Start Restoration Procedure in
SR from time to time viz. December 1999, January 2002, July 2004, July 2006,
February 2009, February 2010 , February 2011, January 2012, December 2012. As
the network is expanding, in line with clause 5.8 (a & b) of IEGC, this Procedure
requires review and/or revision every year, based on which the Mock drill of the
procedure for different sub-systems shall be carried out by the constituents at least
once every six months under intimation to SRLDC.

1.4 SRLDC has requested the feedback & changes w.r.t last year in 88
th
OCCM & 89
th

OCCM & letter dt 29.10.13.

1.5 Based on the details of new elements added during this year and the feedback
received during Black start Workshop held at constituents premises & letter
1 of 206.

communication, the updated version of the Black Start Restoration Procedure in SR
2014 (BSRP 2014) is being released.

1.6 The procedures given in this document are general in nature and provide a guideline
for the restoration team at the time of disturbance. Depending on the availability of
transmission elements, generators and the category and extent of blackout,
restoration on real time basis should adopt the best procedure suited for the
situation.

1.7 Based on this document, SR constituents are advised to prepare station wise
detailed mock drill procedure/plan including switching instructions in their control
centres, so that the operators will have further clarity to ensure faster restoration in
case of contingencies.

2.0 BLACK START FACILITIES

2.1 Existing Black Start facilities :
A list of generating stations with self-start facilities is enclosed as Annexure-I.

2.2 Survival/Auxiliary power requirement :
Survival power can be defined as the minimum power required for avoiding the
damage to the equipment in case of supply failure and keep the equipment fit for
reuse immediately. Under black start failure the survival / auxiliary power would
consist of the following:
Turbine emergency oil pump
Jacking oil pumps
Barring gear of the turbine
Lubricating oil pumps
Compressors for breaker operation
Emergency lighting
Battery chargers communication & telemetry system.

2.3 As a general rule, the survival power requirement would be around 0.25-0.30%
of the unit capacity.
Sl.No. Unit Capacity Survival power required
1 120 MW Unit 250-350 KW
2
210 MW unit 350-500 KW
3
500 MW Unit 1250-1500 KW

2.4 Start up power requirement:
The start up power is the power required for the auxiliaries while the generating unit
is restored. The requirement of start up power by various units is as follows:
Nuclear & Thermal : 7 to 8% of the unit capacity
Hydro : 0.5 to 1% of the unit capacity
Gas : 1.5 to 2%of the unit capacity
The startup power requirement for starting the thermal units is considerably high as
the major auxiliaries like BFP, ID Fan, FD fan, CW pumps etc. are of bigger size and
3 of 206.

the starting torque is large. However, in case of hydro units, the requirement of start-
up power is comparatively much lower because of relatively very few auxiliaries. The
details of the DG Set installed in the generating stations for providing start up power
is enclosed as Annexure-I.

2.5 Synchronising facilities at power stations / Major sub-stations:
In order to build up the system, the synchronizing facilities play a very important role.
The different generating stations having synchronising facilities are indicated in
Annexure-1. Similarly, major 220/230KV sub-stations where synchronising facilities
are available are detailed at Annexure-II. All 400kV Stations in the Region have
Synchronising facility

2.6 Railway Traction Supply
During the time of System Restoration (Black Start) due importance is required to be
given to the traction load and the supply to the grid points feeding the Railway
Traction Station is to be extended on priority. A List of Railway Traction Stations is
given in Annexure III

2.7 Mock Exercise Procedure
Mock Exercise Procedure for availing start-up power through AC by-pass of Inter
Regional HVDC Links is detailed in Annexure IV.

3.0 SYSTEM RESTORATION APPROACH

While Restoring the System the following specific points must be given due
importance:

3.1 Systems with a fair dispersal of generating stations with Black Start facilities
Those generating stations where black start facility are available should be started
up and stable islands should be formed around these generating stations by
connecting essential loads. These islands should be gradually interconnected at the
earliest opportunity keeping into consideration the total load-generation balance.
Care should be taken to add loads in steps keeping in view the load characteristics
i.e. variation of load with respect to voltage & frequency.

3.2 Systems with limited and /or distant Black Start facility
Providing start up power for systems which have few generating stations with black
start facilities or the start up power to be imported from neighboring regions at one or
two points is a challenging job. This is mainly due to the distance between the source
of startup power and the generators and while extending the startup power care
should be taken to control the voltages at various intermediate points. This can be
achieved by providing loads and adjusting the taps of the transformers at the
intermediate stations. Sufficient attention has to be given for MVAR management
and line loadings to prevent secondary collapse during restoration which will extend
the restoration time.

3.3 Reactive Power Control:
During initial stages of restoration process, it is of utmost importance to keep the
system voltages within the allowable limit. This can be accomplished by

Charging the shorter line first
Switching off capacitor bank
Taking bus reactors into service
Charging transformers and taking Bus reactors into service wherever
available.
Converting line reactors into Bus reactors wherever feasible.
Operating generators at minimum voltage levels
Changing transformer taps
Energisation of fewer high voltage lines.

3.4 Load & Generation Balance:

Achieving load generation balance by restoring commensurate and essential
loads only.
Restoring load in small steps keeping in view the load characteristics.
Paying special attention while restoring traction and other fluctuating loads.
If considered essential, then by by-passing the U/F relays initially, until
sufficient loads are connected & frequency stabilizes.
Maintaining frequency close to 50 Hz.
5 of 206.

Keeping Generating units on FGMO

3.5 Priorities:
Provide backup survival/start up power to nuclear units.
Restore start up power supply to generating stations, critical sub-stations and
load dispatch centres
Formation of self-sustaining Islands around the generating stations for which
procedures should be laid down in advance.
Avoid paralleling islands through weak ties.

3.6 Communication & Co-ordination:
Ensuring reliable communication between LDCs, generating stations and
major sub-stations.
Agreed back up procedures & delegation of control in the event of failure of
communication facilities.

Actions to be taken at Generating Stations and Substations:

Each Substation/Generating Station should draw its own detailed procedure for
the action to be taken in their stations during restoration

To avoid delay in restoration ensure the proper functioning of bus couplers,
synchronising facility etc at regular intervals
Ensure proper gas/air pressure in breakers and attend to minor leaks in time.
Do not attempt charging the suspected element.
Controlling high voltage during restoration to avoid damage to equipments
In case of low battery condition during restoration (due to weak battery/long
duration outage of power supply), to avoid excessive power drain, only the
essential load/communication channels to be kept in service Detail procedure
for such actions has to be prepared and kept handy by the concerned
substation/generating station

3.7 Survival Power:

Ensuring availability of backup power supplies such as batteries, battery chargers,
diesel sets to ensure supply to essential loads like air compressor for operation of
circuit breakers, DC system for communication systems etc.

3.8 General Guidelines:
While each disturbance would be different and may require a different plan,
nevertheless it would be useful to formulate general guidelines for the benefit of the
load despatchers. These may be described as below:

a) The operator at generating stations and sub-stations should have the
knowledge of pre-identified synchronising locations and pre laid down
synchronising procedures.

b) Switching procedure should be clearly laid down and periodically reviewed.

c) The transformer taps should be checked for desired setting to minimise
voltage difference.

d) The sub-stations operators and load despatchers should make a check of the
capacitor banks and reactors in service & accordingly should carry out the
switching operations for voltage control.

e) Energising of high voltage lines and cables should be avoided until enough
generating capacity is available.

f) Provision of islanding schemes area-wise, power station wise, and Unit wise
would enhance the ability to restore faster. These should be fully exploited.

g) Startup power to nuclear plants should be extended fast as poisoning of the
reactors would delay restoration of nuclear units.

h) Guidelines for decision making should be clear and should be delegated to all
the major sub-stations and generating stations under varied conditions.

i) Imparting training & providing necessary documentation to the load
despatchers

Note: The Restoration Procedure and sequence as given in document gives the
general guidelines for restoring the system. However, as the exact conditions
in case of each disturbance may be different and vary, the officer building up
the system may take the action best suited for speedy Restoration of the
system in real time.

Synchronisation of Sub Systems: Once the individual subsystems are built to a
stable level, the systems are synchronized with each other. The synchronization of
subsystems will be done at the generating stations, preferably.

IMPORTANT Criteria for deciding Restoration approach in AP System.

SURVIVAL of Ramagundam islanding scheme is the most important criteria in
deciding Restoration approach of AP system during total black out condition.

If the Ramagundam islanding scheme successfully survives, then it is
practically NOT possible to connect with WR through AC by-pass at HVDC
Badravathi.

If the Ramagundam-Hyderabad Island of approximately 1800 MW acts (47.8 Hz
with 200ms delay), the System Operator has to restore the Island as quickly as
possible as there are no hydro generators in this Island and Ramagundam
units have limited bandwidth to flex generation as required by the loads. The
System Operator at AP SLDC would endeavor to closely match loads to
Ramagundam Generation at all times. The Restoration procedure would now
focus on synchronising this Island with NSagar-Srisailam island that may
have to be built up from black start. In case rest of AP/SR survives the
Ramagundam-Hyderabad Island can be quickly synchronised with rest of
AP/SR system by flexing the generation at NSagara Srisailam complex. In case
rest of AP/SR does not survive, NSagar- units would be self-started with
minimum loads(KM Palli) and supply would be extended to Talapalli.
Simultaneously units at Srisailam (RB) would be started up and synchronised
with NSagar units. Loads would be extended by closing Srisailam-Mydukur
21 of 206.

line and afterwards extending the same to Cuddapah-Chinakampalli-Muddanur
for starting up of units.
Srisailam (LB) would be started up and power extended to Kurnool. Meanwhile
the NSagar-Srisailam(RB) complex would extend supply to Kurnool and
synchronise with Srisailam(LB) at Kurnool. After the island has reached 700-
1000 MW, the 400 kV Talapalli-Hyderabad line would be usedto synchronise
Ramagundam-Hyderabad island with Srisailam-NSagar island. The Kurnool-
Hyderabad 400 kV would also be closed to strengthen the link.

Only incase Ramagundam island failed to survive, it can be connected to WR
through AC by-pass at Ramagundam for availing start-up power to NTPC
Ramagundam.

5.6.4 PROCEDURE FOR AVAILING STARTUP POWER DURING PARTIAL
BLACKOUT OF SUB-SYSTEM 1 ALONE
As already explained earlier in clause 5.6.1 (B), during the restoration of
Subsystem 1 alone start up power can be availed from other subsystems
through
From KTPS through 220kV KTPS Nunna VTPS
From Vijjeswaram/Shimadri through Bommur - Vijjeswaram stage1
Bhimadole- VTPS.
Self-starting of Hydro systems of Srisailam NSagar and through
220kV NSagar Srisailam RB - Mydukur Kadapa Chinkampally

From TN System through 400kV Sriperumpudur Chittoor Kadapa &
220kV Kadapa RYTPS
From Karnataka System through 400kV Kolar Kadapa & 220kV
Kadapa RYTPS
From Karnataka System through 400kV Neelamangala Gooty /

RB Markapur-Podili/Ongole Nellore 220 Nellore 400-
Ksishnapattinam AP
From TN System through 400kV Almatty Nellore-Nellore PS
SEPL/MEPL
From Srisailam & NSagar complex as explained in clause 5.6.1 (A)
After startup power is available for VTPS & RYTPS, further extend for
restoration of this sub-system may be initiated as explained in 5.6.2 &
5.6.2.1 above

35 of 206.

The sub-system 2 comprises of Ramagundam & Kakatiya Thermal power station and
the important load centers like Ramagundam loads & Western Region with No Black
Start facilities in the Sub system.

Presently this subsystem has an islanding scheme for NTPC Ramagundam
along with Hyderabad loads. Incase of survival of this subsystem in islanding
mode, the island could not be connected to WR through AC by-pass at HVDC
Badravathi as the frequency of WR and surviving island would be different
and flexing generation / loads of the surviving island for matching to WR
frequency may be very difficult and may lead to collapse. Also, attempt to
avail support through Badrawathi HVDC Back-to-Back by synchronizing
Ramagundam Chandrapur lines, with out building the island to sufficiently
large size, is not preferable due to low short circuit level at HVDC Badrawathi.
Under such situation, the surviving island has to be synchronized with rest of
AP at the earliest possible with increase in hydro generation along with
matching loads in other subsystems of AP.

Incase, the islanding scheme could not survivie, then, this subsystem can
avail start up power supply from the following sources

36 of 206.

From Western Region through HVDC Back to Back station at
Bhadrawati (Chandrapur) with A/C bypass arrangement and 400kV
Chandrapur- Ramagundam D/C. line
From Subsystem 1 by availing self-starting facility of hydro units at
Nsagar / Srisailam complex.

From KTPS through 220 kV KTPS Khammam Warangal-Nagaram-
Malayalapalli-Ramagundam
From 220Kv NSagar Chellakurthi Miryalguda Khammam
Warangal Ramagundam lines
From KTPS 5th Stage through
- 220 kV KTPS- Budidampadu (Khammam 400 kV)
- 400 kV Khammam Ramagundam line
From VTPS through
- 220 kV VTPS-Nunna &
- 400 kV Vijayawada-Khammam-Ramagundam
From Srisailam, Nsagar Hydro complex through
- 220 kV Nsagar Tallapalli
- 400 kV Nsagar Ramagunadam
AP SYSTEM.
This subsystem will be developed after availing startup power supply as
mentioned in 5.7.1 (A). The restoration process is as follows:
1. Extend startup supply to Ramagundam & Kakatiya from Western region
through Chandrapur A.C bypass link, following procedure as follows.
(a) Ensure that line breakers of 400 kV Ramagundam-Chandrapur lines I
and II are opened at Ramagundam & Chandrapur end
(b) Ensure that HVDC system is isolated from both West and South Bus.
37 of 206.

(c) Ensure that all filter Isolators are opened.
(d) Ensure that West Bus 2 is in energized condition
(e) Close A/C bypass link isolators
(f) Close breaker of Ramagundam line I or II in consultation with
Ramagundam. This would extend start up power to Ramagundam.
(g) In case the bus voltage at Ramagundam is very high, request AP to
avail some loads radially to control the voltage.
(h) Extend startup supply to Kakatiya via 400kv Ramagundam
Warrangal-Bhoopalpally alternately via 220kv Malayalapalli-220 kv
Nagaram- 220 kv Warrangal -400kv Warrangal
(i) Ramagundam would build up the generation gradually with load
through ICTs at Ramagundam.

The subsystem 2 is developed by gradually increasing the generation in the
Ramagundam and extending supply to loads of Ramagundam.

Sub System 2 & rest of A.P would be synchronized at Ramagundam
through 400 kV Ramagundam Warangal / Khammam line after
matching the frequency of both subsystems.
AP Hydro would be flexed to minimize flow below 20MW on
Ramagundam - Chandrapur line & subsequently this would be tripped.

2. Incase of any difficulties in extending startup supply to Ramagundam from
Western region through Chandrapur A.C bypass link, avail startup power
from NSagar Complex through 400kV NSagar Hyderabad -
Ramagundam lines along with loads at Hyderabad for controlling the
voltage profile.

5.7.3 ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY VARIOUS GENERATING STATIONS AND
HVDC OF AP IN RESTORING SUBSYSTEM 2 DURING TOTAL REGIONAL
BLACKOUT AND / OR BLACKOUT OF ENTIRE AP SYSTEM & NON-
SURVIVAL OF RAMAGUNDAM ISLANDING SCHEME.
(a) Actions by HVDC Bhadrawati
Upon receipt of request from Ramagundam for providing start up power
Bhadrawati will make the following arrangements to extend the start up
power.
Ensure that line breakers of 400 kV Ramagundam-Chandrapur lines I
and II are opened at Ramagundam & Chandrapur ends
Ensure that HVDC system is isolated from both West and South Bus.
Ensure that all filter Isolators are opened.
Ensure that West Bus 2 is in energized condition
Close A/C bypass link isolators
Close breaker of Ramagundam line I or II in consultation with
Ramagundam
This would extend start up power to Ramagundam STPS & Kakatiya.
(b) Actions by RSTPS
Ensure all 400 kV line breakers open at Ramagundam end.
Avail start up supply from HVDC station at Bhadrawati through one of
the circuits of 400kV Ramagundam-Chandrapur line for starting the
unit.
In case the bus voltage at Ramagundam is very high, request AP to
avail some loads radially to control the voltage.
Extend start up supply to Kakatiya via Warrangal-Bhoopalpally
Ramagundam would build up the generation gradually with load
through ICTs at Ramagundam.
(c) Actions by KAKATIYA
Open all 400 kV line breakers.
41 of 206.

Avail start up supply from Ramagundam via 400kv Warrangal in
consultation with SLDC.
Kakatiya would build up the generation.
(d) Actions By APLD
Provide the loads for Ramagundam generators through ICTs at
Ramagundam in coordination with RSTPS.
Loads to be regulated keeping in view the level of generation at
Ramagundam and import constraints as per the directions of SRLDC.
Note: SRLDC/WRLDC Control Room, Ramagundam and Bhadrawati HVDC
stations shall endeavor to confirm the actions to be taken in the event of Total
Black-out in the AP system. However, extension of WR power to
Ramagundam shall be carried out at the request of Ramagundam without
waiting for any code from SRLDC /WRLDC except that before extending the
supply, Bhadrawati shall interact with Ramagundam and obtain clearance
from Ramagundam for its readiness to avail the power supply.

5.7.4 PROCEDURE FOR AVAILING STARTUP POWER SUPPLY FROM WITH IN
AP SYSTEM
In the event of difficulty in availing WR supply for any reason, the alternate
source for availing start up power to Ramagundam & Kakatiya would be from
Nsagar or Srisailam Hydel power stations In this case the following steps
would be followed.
(a) Supply from Nsagar or Srisailam power house would be extended to
Tallapally.
(b) 220 kV supply from Tallapally would be extended and stepped up to 400
kV by charging one of 220/400 kV 315 MVA transformers at 400 kV
Nsagar sub station.
(c) Before extending 400 kV supply from Nsagar to Ramagundam, the
voltage at Nsagar would be controlled by utilising bus reactor, line
reactor provided at both ends of 400 kV Nsagar-Ramagundam line and
if required by varying ICT taps at Nsagar.
42 of 206.

(d) In case 400 kV voltage at Nsagar is not brought under control by using
reactors and ICT taps at Nsagar, 400 kV supply from Nsagar should be
extended to Hyderabad and voltage at Hyderabad could be controlled by
connecting loads through ICT at Hyderabad. Supply to Ramagundam
can be extended by charging one of the 400 kV lines from Hyderabad to
Ramagundam and NTPC can avail start up power by charging
Ramagundam bus.
(e) Once Startup is given to Ramagundam, Then extend start up power from
to Kakatiya as explained above

5.7.5 SYNCHRONISING SUBSYSTEM 2 (RAMAGUNDAM & KAKATIYA) WITH
REST OF A.P AND OPENING OF AC BY-PASS LINK WITH WR
As the Subsystem 2 builds up it has to be synchronised with rest of AP at the
earliest opportunity to increase the stability of the\ grid. This Subsystem can
be synchronised with rest of A.P by closing 400 kV Warangal / Khammam -
Ramagundam line. Tying of subsystem to be done preferably at 400 KV level
only. Once the Northern part of AP grid is adequately strengthened and
stabilised, RLDC shall request WRLDC to withdraw the assistance from WR.
The following steps shall then be taken to open out the AC bypass link at
HVDC Bhadrawati.
After the AP system develops into a stable island of about 2500 to
3000MW, A/C inter connection with WR will be opened out only after
reducing the flow on the interconnection to a minimum value by adjusting
the load generation balance in AP Subsystem.
Load in AP system would be regulated to bring down the flow on 400 kV
Ramagundam-Chandrapur line as minimum as possible (10 to 20 MW) by
regulating generation at Nsagar, Srisailam and Chandrapur (WR).
NTPC would then manually open 400 kV Ramagundam-Chandrapur line
to separate part SR system from WR system in consultation with SRLDC /
Bhadrawati.
Opening of A/C Bypass Link At Bhadrawati:
43 of 206.

Bhadrawati shall obtain permission from WRLDC and SRLDC to open out
the A/C bypass link.
Breaker controlling Ramagundam I and II lines shall be opened.
Open breaker of MSEB-2 controlling West Bus-2.
Check that West Bus and South Bus is dead.
Open A/C bypass link isolators
Prepare the HVDC station for operation in Back to Back Convertor mode
and then await instructions and code exchange between WRLDC and
SRLDC.

BLACKOUT OF SUB-SYSTEM 2
In the event of Partial Black out in AP system and Subsystem 2 alone going
into black out startup power for Subsystem 2 will be made available from any
one of the neighboring Subsystem in AP and the procedure is detailed below
A. From KHAMMAM

54 of 206.

55 of 206.

(o) Actions by HVDC Gajuwaka
Upon confirmation of Total AP system failure Simhadri will request
Gajuwaka for making necessary arrangements to operate A/C bypass
system at Gajuwaka HVDC under instructions from SRLDC.
Gajuwaka shall request Jeypore to extend start up power from Eastern
Region in case supply is not available on East Bus at Gajuwaka
Gajuwaka shall extend the power supply to South Bus on A/C bypass
mode by taking following actions
a. All filter on either side (East and South) are to be opened.
b. All connections to HVDC system from both East and South side are
opened
c. Ensure that East Bus is in energized condition from Jeypore end.
d. Close isolators to close A/C bypass link.
e. Close 400kV Gajuwaka Simhadri line in consultation with
Simhadri for extending start up power to Simhadri
NOTE: In the event of total black out in the AP system, start up power can be
obtained / availed from Eastren Region through Gajuwaka HVDC bypass link
as option - 3. Since this line connects two regions using Line Isolators only,
due caution has to be exercised while connecting/disconnecting the two
Regions. The schematic diagram depicting the setup of the HVDC station at
Gajuwaka A/C Bypass link is shown in Exhibit-F.

NOTE Even though, SRLDC,ERLDC AP LD, Control Room Shimadri and
Gajuwaka HVDC station shall endeavor to confirm the actions to be taken in
the event of total Black-out in the AP system extension of ER power to South
bus at Gajuwaka shall be carried out only after availing code by Simhadri or
Gajuwaka.
56 of 206.

(p) Opening of A/C Bypass link
Once the AP grid is adequately strengthened, SRLDC shall request
ERLDC to withdraw the assistance from ER.
The following steps shall then be taken to open out the HVDC bypass
link at Gajuwaka
Action shall be taken by ERLDC and SRLDC to bring the flow on 400kV
Jeypure - Gajuwaka line to +/- 10MW, by regulating generation in AP
and ER system
Gajuwaka shall obtain permission from ERLDC and SRLDC to open out
the bypass link.
Open out Jeypore - Gajuwaka line.
Check that East bus and South bus at HVDC station is dead.
Open Isolator --- open A/C bypass link.
Prepare the HVDC station for operation in Back to Back Converter
mode and then await instructions and code exchange between ERLDC
and SRLDC.
(q) Synchonisation of this Subsystem with other Subsystems and
Opening of A/C Bypass Link:-
As Simhadri generation picks up the load on the ICTs at Kalpakka
would be provided by APLD in a regulated manner keeping in view the
level of generation and import/export constraints as per the directions of
SRLDC.
Simultaneously AP Subsystem 3 would be built up with fair degree of
load generation balance.
In consultation with APLD this Subsystem is synchronized with
Subsystems 1 / 3 at the following Locations
At KTPS through 220kV KTPS V - Khammam line.
At KTPS through 220kV KTPS Nunna line.
At VTPS through 220kV VTPS Bhimadole- Vijjeswaram stage1
57 of 206.

BALCKOUT OF SUB-SYSTEM3:
As already explained earlier, during the restoration of Subsystem 3 alone start
up power can be availed from other subsystems through

From Subsystem 1 through
220kV D/C KTPS V - Khammam line.
