analyse the critical parameters with respect to system efficiencies within the designated area comprising
two (2) Divisions and eight (8) Sub-Divisions of Bikaner City Circle.
Independent assessment of the Input energy

The object of this study is to assess the input energy of the designated area for the base financial year
2015-16. The baseline data of Energy Drawl was furnished by the authorities and subsequently were
vetted at the respective Injection Substation and Grid Substation to ensure all incoming feeders are
comprehensively and accurately calculated and energy exports and imports are further adjusted from
the injected energy in order to have an accurate assessment of the input energy of Bikaner City Circle.
Accuracy class of meters, Log books /CMRI readings and Load patterns maintained at respective
Injection Substations as well as crossover feeders were taken into account for verification of the baseline
data facilitated by the respective authorities.
Independent assessment of the Energy sales

The object of this study is to assess accurate energy sales within the designated area of Bikaner City
Circle for the base financial year 2015-16. The energy sales records were examined through MIS3.1 and
MIS3.2 (Circle and subdivision wise energy sales MIS) as well as component wise energy sales were
studied along with Binder billing units (Billing process cycle), Sundry units referred as CB Manual
Input Advice Formats applicable for billing adjustments and MS14 Manual Billing for HT, Vigilance and
Temporary consumers exclusively. The baseline data was analysed along with verification of the
physical formats of manual billings maintained at each subdivision and cross verification of these sales
strictly pertinent to base year of study through CC&A Register, PCB and Consumer Ledgers maintained
at respective subdivisions. Anomalies were observed in the study of Energy sales recorded and
subsequent adjustments in Energy sales were assessed with respect to deviations in accounting of unit
sales and revenue as per stipulations by RERC and Jodhpur Discom billing circulars.
Computation of Sub transmission and Distribution Losses (T&D Losses)

Sub-transmission and Distribution losses (T&D Losses) have been computed through above
Independent assessments conducted by the working group and reviewed by the respective authority
w.r.t. Energy input and Energy sales. The correction of such baselines have been illustrated along with
subdivision wise and month wise computation of the audited T&D Losses of Bikaner City Circle for the
base financial year of 2015-16.
Computation of ABR
The ABR has been computed using the standard methodology of Assessment (with and without subsidy)
divided by Board Dues Component of gross assessment of energy sales. The correction in revenue billed
broadly consists of two parts (a) revenue billed and energy sales corresponding to billing records for
metered & unmetered consumer categories and (b) adjustments in revenue billed & energy sales as per
the manual Input Advice Formats.
Computation of Collection Efficiency and Arrears

Category wise Collection efficiency has been evaluated through computing Board Dues vis--vis
Revenue realised and further outstanding as on FY 2015-16 have been computed as per unrealised
amount for the respective category.
To sum up, reasonable efforts have been made by the Konergy to ensure that the information illustrated
in the report has been obtained through reliable sources and in furtherance, the baseline information
has been evaluated through several parameters of quality in order to ensure a diligent and competent
study.

2.1 Bikaner City Circle

Bikaner city is situated in the northwest of the state of Rajasthan. It is located 330 kilometres (205
miles) northwest of the state capital, Jaipur. Bikaner city is the administrative headquarters of
Bikaner District and Bikaner division. Formerly the capital of the princely state of Bikaner, the city
was founded by Rao Bika ji in the year 1486 and from its small origins it has developed into the fourth
largest city in Rajasthan. The Ganges Canal completed in 1928 and the Indira Gandhi Canal
completed in 1987 facilitated its development. Bikaner is served by two railway stations namely
Bikaner Junction and Lalgarh Railway Station.
The city is situated in the middle of the Thar Desert with comparatively less rainfall and extreme
temperatures. In summer, temperatures ranges between 28C to 50C and during the winter it dips
to the range of 5C to 23.2 C. Annual Rainfall is in the range of 260440 millimetres (1017 in).
Bikaner has Asias one of the biggest camel research farm (NRCC) and is famous for Bikaneri Bhujia,
wool production, sweets etc. It is also known for its handicrafts, leather articles and architecture. The
city is also known for its intricately carved Jharokas. These red sandstone jalis (screens) are found on
the windows of the Junagarh fort, temples and havelis (mansions of Northern India).
City of Bikaner had witnessed all round development during the reign of Maharaja Ganga Singh ji in
1488, where the city had access to the first rail network between Bikaner and Delhi, several historical
monuments, the Ganges cannel as well Rajasthans first thermal power plant set up at Roshni Ghar,
which is currently the old power house building of Bikaner.

3. Building Blocks of the study
3.1 Primary data through Field surveys

The field survey had been conducted for >25% of the designated area as representative data for
compiling a comprehensive and diligent assessment. Well defined questionnaire was drafted to
get closer understanding of the present health of the system and the flow of technical and
commercial administrative structures. A detail route plan of the distribution network had been
swotted by way of segmenting data and conducting necessary walk down survey along the 33kV
incoming feeder and corresponding 11kV feeders to get an accurate and holistic assessment of the
distribution network.
The baseline information facilitated by the authority has been mostly relied for all studies and
analysis as first-hand data and assessment of the baselines have been conducted on the basis of
available field samples, which have been elaborated in the report.
3.2 Secondary data through Baseline collation

The study rests over the following information facilitated by the respective authorities of Jodhpur
Discom. The data has been analysed and cross verified through field surveys, analysis of available
records and subsequently authenticating the observations with the authority.
1. Energy Drawl for FY2015-16 Energy drawl data from March 2015 to February 2016 has
been sought from the office of SE (M&P) and has been further verified by conducting a due-
diligence of the log book readings available at the respective Injection Substations of Bikaner
City Circle. The readings at 132/33kV Transformer, 33kV Incomer and 33kV Outgoing
database have been vetted and any abnormal variances have been examined with RVPN
authorities to avail dependable energy drawl or Input energy for Bikaner City Circle.
2. Network configuration Specification, Accuracy class and operating health of the feeder
meters have been sought form the Discom within the designated area. The database has been
sought from the office of SE (M&P) and SE (O&M) Bikaner City Circle and sample data have
been verified in the field. An exhaustive verification of all feeder meters could not have been
conducted due to short tenure of the project.
3. Substation SLDs - SLDs and PLDs of Input points and 33/11kV Substations have been
studied with respect to the designated area as well as understanding of the network
configuration and topology from the respective Feeder Managers, O&M officials, HTM heads
and other relevant authorities have been sought to ensure all aspects of the network have
been accounted in the report. The baseline signoff letter issued from the office of SE (O&M)
Bikaner City Circle has been predominantly relied.
4. Commercial Data Billing details had been collected from the office of AO (BCC) w.r.t.
the consolidated month wise and Subdivision wise MIS 3.1 and 3.2, CB Sundry input Advice
formats and MS14 manual billings. Subdivision wise interaction with respective AROs over
analysing Average read consumers, all Manual billing formats, review realisation through
CC&AR / PCB for verification of such manual billings and clear segregation between Arrears
and base year billings.
5. Cash balances- Opening and closing cash balances have been assessed for illustrating
Outstanding / Arrears accurately and the same have been studied with the Trial Balance.
3.3 Profiling and segmenting

Segmenting and profiling of baseline as well as field survey data were done as per consumer
profiles, consumption categories, billing components, subdivisions and billing month
respectively. Extensive efforts have been made to ensure Billing assessment for the pertinent year
of baseline have been verified.
9
3.4 Data Validation

Data segmentation and profiling was initiated on the basis of kick-off meeting discussions and
baseline data provided by the authority. At the outset, the baseline information collected from
function heads was validated with the data available at respective subdivisions. The deviations
observed were communicated to the project working group for receiving necessary inputs.
Further, the normal deviations were corrected in the baseline information to maintain accuracy
of database and abnormal billings were highlighted and deduced accordingly post verification
with the authorities.
3.5 Building blocks of the report

The baseline data has been collated through interactions with each functional heads integral part
of the study and verification of the preliminary data has been conducted through cross
verification of the data with alternative source of relevant information.
Illustration 3.1 Building block of the Report
3.6 Independent assessment of input energy to sales

The objective of the study is to independently review the input energy of the designated area of
Bikaner City Circle for the base year of 2015-16.
The input energy is recorded at the outgoing feeders of transmission Substation owned and
managed by M/s RVPN. Joint verification of input feeder meters is done by M/s RVPN and SE
(M&P), Jodhpur Discom collectively.
The process of accounting the Drawl energy is through recording energy injected a month prior
to the Billing month (MIS). The energy injected in the month of March is accounted for Billing
MIS in the subsequent month of April for energy sales. Hence, Drawl from the month of March
2015 to February 2016 has been reviewed for analysis of energy billed from April 2015 to March
2016 i.e. FY 2015-16 as baseline.

Illustration 3.2 Approach for network study
3.7 Energy Input studies

Validation of net energy input post adjustments of gross energy export and imports, wind power
and open access consumptions (if any). The energy drawl study has been conducted by the
techno-commercial team of Konergy in coordination with office of SE (TCC), M/s RVPN as well
as SE (M&P) and SE (O&M Bikaner City Circle), Jodhpur Discom to arrive at close to accurate
assessment of Energy Input through stage wise reviewing the drawl energy and accounting the
actual drawl pertinent to Bikaner City Circle. The Accuracy classes of meters have been recorded
on site and associated Multiplying Factor have been updated as per log book records maintained
at the respective Injection S/s, in order to assess Energy drawl diligently.
Step wise review of existing processes and reports adhered for ascertaining the
Energy input on the basis of the data provided by the Utility:
a) Input baseline from the office of SE (O&M) Bikaner City Circle
The subdivision wise Energy Input was facilitated through the office of SE (O&M) Bikaner
City Circle and the same is maintained as well as monitored by the Feeder Manager (BCC).
The Feeder Manager avails the Energy input from the office of SE (M&P) and allocates
subdivision wise Energy Input for assessment of subdivision wise drawl and Sub-
Transmission and Distribution losses.
Review - The 33kV I/C wise drawl and adjustments with respect to energy export/
import, open access and wind power was sought from the office of SE (M&P),
Jodhpur Discom.
The city circle does not have any dependable energy readings of subdivision
export-import points but subdivision wise Distribution Transformer capacity
allocation have been adhered to bifurcate subdivision wise Energy Input. Thus,
the report also adheres to the same methodology for ascertaining subdivision
wise Energy Input.
11
b) Circle wise energy input from the office of SE (M&P), Jodhpur Discom
The office of Energy Audit, RVPN and SE (TCC) share 33kV I/c wise Energy Input for all the
respective Injection S/s injecting energy in Jodhpur Discom. The same is drawl is adhered by
RVPN for invoicing energy to the Discom. This data is maintained with the office of SE (M&P)
- Jodhpur Discom, and further fixed ratio based allocation of Energy input is adhered between
Bikaner City Circle and Bikaner District Circle.

Review 33kV I/c reading were verified with monthly records of energy drawl
jointly verified by the Jodhpur Discom and RVPN. These readings were
evaluated and observations with respect to fixed percentage share of Energy
input allocation were raised. Thus, actual 33kV Outgoing readings were collated
from respective injection substations and actual Energy input between the City
Circle and District Circle were ascertained. The same have been illustrated
above.
Permission was sought form the office of SE (TCC) and CE (Bikaner Zone) for
accessing pertinent injection substations maintained and operated by the RVPN
and actual 33kV Outgoing energy readings were recorded from the Log Books to
verify accuracy level of the fixed percentage of energy drawl between Bikaner
City and Bikaner District Circle adhered by the office of SE (M&P) for assessing
Circle wise T&D Loss. Verification of updated MF and month wise Initial
readings as well as Final Readings were done to ensure accuracy level of energy
input recordings.
c) Ring fencing
Identification of the crossover points were made through available PLDs and Feeder details
from the baseline information. Sample verification through walk down survey of such
crossover feeders were done and health of the meters were recorded during the course of
survey. Average read export / import feeders have been further sample verified through
sample load analysis on the pertinent feeder on average out basis and subsequently assessing
the connected load and average load on such feeder through possible records to ensure that
the energy recorded are close approximates.
Review The export and import feeders were demarcated through the pertinent
AEN offices and physical survey of such points were done by our team. However,
energy export point has been verified as per baseline data and no regular
readings were observed being maintained at freshly installed DLMS Meter. The
load archives of the meter were sought form the office of HTM Bikaner City
Circle and the monthly readings were accounted on average basis.

Health of the 11kV feeder metering on the 11kV I/C and 11kV outgoing of the Grid Substation
was sought from the office of HTM (BCC) along with Meter specs, MF, CTPT Ratio and Load
patterns were studied through the available log book records of energy data as well as efforts
were made to verify the feeder wise drawl on 11kV feeder.
Review Unfortunately, dependable data for the baseline months were not
available. The physical log books have not been maintained or stocked
appropriately at the Grid S/s due to defective metering or absence of regular
reading, the available readings also did not have updated MF and Accuracy class
of the meters for the base year. Thus feeder wise loss calculations were not
available as part of the baseline data.
However, CMRI Readings for May 2016 to August 2016 were secured from the
office of Feeder Manager (BCC) but the data is partial and deficient for
considering as dependable baseline.

The area proposed for Distribution Franchisee covers all the two (2) divisions under Bikaner
City Circle.
Further, the data has been analysed subdivision wise with and without manual billing
adjustments to get a fair assessment of the billing accuracy and realisation against the billed
units.
Field visits have been conducted by our team to cross verify the adjustment units, Vigilance,
HT billings etc. through studying respective physical formats at the subdivisions offices as well
as their receipts in the CC&AR registers / PCBs.
13
Extensive formulae of sales validations have been applied for sanity check of manual billing
adjustments of sundry input advices (CB). The sundry units have been verified through
physical input Advice sheets relevant to individual consumers.
Further, such CB units have been cross checked on the basis of their respective Adjustment
codes as per norms defined by RERC and circulars issued by the Jodhpur Discom.
The Billing processes of LIP (Large Industries) consumers are maintained through separate
billing format of MS14. Thus, the units of HT sales have been verified with billing data
available with AO (HT Billing) Month wise, Category wise and Subdivision wise.
Binder billings
The Process cycle based billing is referred as Binder Billing in the system, the billings under this
category covers all categories of consumers excluding HT, Vigilance and Temporary. The billings
under this category are their Billing engines developed and maintained by M/s HCL.
CB Codes Adjustments
The CB Codes are Computerised Billing Input Advices Format and are used for respective reasons
of Adjustments and corrections of Billings or Subsidy credits. The followings codes are used for
posting adjustments:

MS14 - Subdivision wise billing
The MS14 billings are billings that are outside the Purview of the Binder Billing processes and
processed through the respective subdivision offices. HT, Vigilance and Temporary category of
consumers are billed under this billing format.
CC&AR
The CC&AR (Consumer Charges & Allowance Registers) have been also verified to check
retrospective effect of such adjustments or vigilance units to ensure end to end inspection of
records and factor any variances observed into the energy sales.
RERC and Jodhpur Discom Norms for Adjustments

RERC has notified certain process for posting such CB (sundry Adjustments) and MS14 billings.
Further, Jodhpur Discom has also published circulars to promulgate these processes in order to
maintain utmost transparency, genuineness and accounting hygiene with such adjustments.

3.10 Transmission and Distribution Loss Assessment Approach

The Transmission & Distribution (T&D) losses have been calculated as per methodology
predetermined in the Standard Bidding Document for Appointment of Input Based Urban
Distribution Franchisee (SBDF) approved by Ministry of Power, Government of India on June
2012, where in distribution losses refers to the difference between energy supplied at the Input
Points and Energy Billed to Consumers in percentage terms for a particular period and computed
as below:
Transmission and Distribution Losses= [(Energy Intake at Input Points less Energy
Billed to Consumers in kWh)/ Energy Intake at Input Points in kWh]*100
3.11 Computation of Average Billing Rate (ABR)

Average Billing Rate including subsidy is calculated by dividing the billed revenue including
subsidy that forms part of the revenue for the base year of FY 2015-16 for all categories put
together with the total billed units for the division for all categories, the calculation of which is
shown below.
The billing revenue encompasses of i) Billing details as per the binder billing, ii) CB input Advices
Formats and iii) Subdivision wise billings of consumers such as HT, Vigilance and Temporary
consumers. The billing revenue has been ascertained through Net Board Dues only for ABR
without subsidy as well as Net Board Dues along with subsidy for ABR with subsidy.

The billing processes were reviewed meticulously subdivision-wise through analysing the
category wise ABR and analysing sample bills across all three components subdivision wise.
Discussions with respective AROs, Accounts Officers of the Circle and the office of CAO were held
to review variances observed in the billing processes, adjustment methodology and accuracy of
sample bills with exponentially higher ABR. Hence, suitable correction factors were applied for
correcting such units and Board Dues. Certain variances were observed in the adjustment
methodologies due to application of wrong adjustment code in billings and further credit of such
units in the relevant billing formats. However, correction and adjustment of such misallocations
while computing the energy sales and revenues have been also done on best effort basis through
sample studies.
3.12 Collection Efficiency & Outstanding

The collection efficiency has been evaluated on the basis of %age of Revenue collected over energy
billed as per the data available through circle wise MIS of Bikaner City Circle and further reducing
Arrears illustrated in opening balance for the FY 2015-16.
No records of age wise arrears have been made available from the database hence collection
efficiency has been showed along with arrears. However, we have taken best efforts to elaborate
the Arrears for past three financial years.
To cross verify the realization, we enquired from Accounts regarding the remittance in bank
pertinent to Revenue collection against Board Dues as shown in the MIS. The Authorities have
informed that the component wise segregation of revenue remitted to Bank is not available; the
15
remittances in Bank is a pool of all the revenue components including subsidy, adjustments,
Nigam dues, Electricity duty, Urban cess, Water Cess Charges and additional revenue from New
Service Connection, Change of Tariff or category etc. Thus we have only analysed the revenue
realization as per baseline data made available pertaining to designated area of Bikaner City
Circle.
The collection efficiency has been calculated as per methodology predetermined in the Standard
Bidding Document for Appointment of Input Based Urban Distribution Franchisee approved by
Ministry of Power, Government of India.
Collection Efficiency = (Revenue realized from Consumers in rupees /Energy Billed

to Consumers in rupees)*100
3.13 Assumptions
The following assumptions have been considered through discussions and personal interaction
with respective stakeholders of the project:
1. The study has been conducted for FY2015-16 base year.
2. Complete billings and proceeds for energy sales are recorded in the MIS 3.1 and MIS 3.2, thus
there are no additional formats for transaction of energy sales outside the purview of the MIS.
3. The study is pertinent to Bikaner City Circle comprising of only Bikaner City encompassing
Two (2) Divisions, which comprises eight (8) Sub-divisions.
4. The Energy input data has been recorded GSS wise and the CT/PT ratios as well as
Multiplying Factors (MF) of the meters have been maintained as per records available
through the RVPN Log books for Transmission Substations as well as with the M&P, for all
EHV Substations, shared and crossover points.
5. In absence of energy metering at a pertinent injection feeder or inaccuracy observed in the

Multiplying Factor of a specific 33kV incoming or 33kV Outgoing feeder. The energy from the
pertinent HV side of the transformer have been relied along with the average Power
Transformer losses assessed. The same have been further verified with balance of gross
incoming and gross outgoing summations of the pertinent EHV or Injection substation, in
order to obtain possible accuracy in energy drawl.
6. The feeder meter reading at 33kV Incomer, 33kV Outgoing from EHVs and further 11kV
incomer at 33/11kV Substations have been refereed through log books and CMRI readings to
the extent available at the pertinent substations for the base year.
7. 11/0.420kV Distribution Transformers Meters (DT Meters) have been observed at some
locations but no log books or energy readings have been maintained for such meters,
furthermost are found unreadable and unmetered. Therefore, DT energy records has been
excluded from the scope of the study.
8. The study has been limited to energy output recorded through 11kV Feeder metering based
on available accuracy of such data and accounting energy sales through the billing MIS
records sought subdivision wise.
9. Receipts of all the energy sales invoices, new service connections, connection transfer etc. are
through single pool of account and there are no exclusive bank account maintained for
respective category of receipts. The Trial Balance and MIS 3.2 have been relied for cross
verification of Realisation amount and component of realisation.
10. There are no age-wise arrears or outstanding maintained for the designated area of Bikaner
City Circle, Thus the opening and closing balance of annual outstanding have been studied
for a dependable summary of arrears in the designated area as on FY 2015-16.

7. Baseline studies
7.1 Field Survey

While conducting the techno commercial evaluation of the baseline data as illustrated under
chapter 4 of the report. The following field observations have been compiled while evaluating the
system health.
The field survey observations of Bikaner City Circle are as follows:
1. EHVs serving the Designated Area

Injection substations feeding the designated area have been covered under the survey where in
all Injection substations have been surveyed and energy records of the feeders serving energy
within the designated area of study as well as share and crossover feeders have been also studied.
2. Input calculations methodology

The input energy has bene considered for one month prior energy sales. Thus input data has been
considered from March 2015 to February 2016. In order to calculate the net energy injected to
the Circle. The City Circle does not have any Open Access energy and Wind energy to be reduced
from the Gross Energy drawl, thus only Energy exports adjustments have been also adjusted from
the gross energy drawl from M/s RVPN (Transmission).
3. Validation of the energy input data

The energy injected through EHV Substation is jointly recorded by M/s RVPN (Transmission) as
well as by the office of SE (M&P) of Jodhpur Discom. The energy injected through all the
Injection Substations are recorded at the Feeder meters and hourly readings of such meters are
maintained in Substation log books.
4. Open Access / wind

The open access as well as wind power input has been exclusively accounted by the office of AO
(HT Billing). The month wise records of such inputs have been collated through the office of AO
(HT Billing) and have been further verified through the records of SE (M&P) and SE (O&M
Bikaner City Circle) to have an authentic assessment.
5. Verification of metering health

Verification of the energy records shared by the M&P was performed through the data available
in log books at the respective Substations. The meter health was also reviewed and any specific
replacement of meters or CT/PT has been identified and readings have been corrected
accordingly. No log book or energy records for Distribution Transformer meters have been
observed during the course of the survey. The data has been also centrally verified through the
office of Feeder Manager (BCC).
6. Energy sales verification

The energy sales data has been sought form the office of SE (IT); physical copies of the MIS have
been also sought from the office of Accounts Officer (Bikaner City Circle). It was observed during
the course of field study that the energy sales data had been through several revisions and thus
the physical records of MIS at the subdivision offices have been mostly relied for analysing energy
sales.
7. T&D Loss verification

The verification of T&D Losses has been done through re-computing of the T&D Losses based on
independently verified energy input and energy sales as mentioned above.
43
8. SCADA project
The designated area has fresh feeder meters installations as part of the SCADA implementation
in Bikaner City Circle. However the processes of manual recording of hourly energy readings are
maintained in the log books. The feeder wise energy accounting details are also outsourced.
7.2 Secondary Data Baseline Information
7.2.1 Representative map of Bikaner City Circle
7.3 Baseline synopsis from the office of A.O. (Bikaner City Circle):
The baseline date pertinent to Energy input, Energy sales and the Distribution Losses of Bikaner
City Circle facilitated by the office of Accounts Officer (Bikaner City Circle) are as follows:
Baseline of Bikaner City Circle FY 2015-16
Energy Input (MUs) 601.27
Unit Sold (MUs) 537.89
T&D Loss (%) 10.47%
Average Billing Rate, Board Dues basis (Rs. Per unit) 6.87

7.4 Baseline verification approach

The stage wise verification adhered to evaluate Energy transaction and its appropriate recording
is elaborated below along with necessary observations recorded by the designated techno
commercial team of Konergy as well as the Working Group:
Input energy verification approach
Data verification of energy Drawl through data available at the office of

SE (M&P) Jodhpur Discom, SE (EA) RVPN, SE (TCC) RVPN.
Energy export / import verification through the office of SE (O&M) of
the associated Circles such as Bharatpur circle, Jodhpur District Circle
and Dausa Circle.
Open Access Billing and Wind power drawls verification through the
office of AO (HT Billing) and sample verification of billing invoices and
the billing process adhered to.
Injetion Feeder wise study of sample 33kV incoming feeders through
reading of corresponding 11kV feeders by assessment of incomming
and outgoing energy study by Log book and CMRI readings of the
respective feeders.
Energy Sales verification approach
Verficiation of MS14 Billing components against the RERC regulations

and approved billing process and systems.
Verficiation of CB (Sundry Input Advices) Billing components against
the RERC regulations and approved billing process and systems.
Verification of Agriculture billing of Flat and metered Agriculture
consumers.
Average Billing cases and Guidelines for such billings as per the
regulations set forth by Jodhpur discom under guidance of RERC and
Electricity Act 2003.
7.5 Approach for Independent assessment of Energy input to Bikaner

City Circle
This section focuses at accomplishing an independent assessment study through
ascertaining accurate net input energy in Bikaner City Circle for the base year of FY 2015-
16. The methodology for ascertaining the input energy for FY 2015-16 has been adhered
in compliance with RERC guidelines and updated circulars issued by Chairman Rajasthn
Discoms, MD Jodhpur Discom and department circulars (Key regulations associated to
billing processes are also illustrated in Annexure A of this report). It is pertinent to
mention here that the practice for recording input energy is one month prior the energy
sales month for having an even-handed assessment of Energy Input vis--vis Energy
Sales. Thus, the energy sales accounted for the month of April 2015 is for the Energy
45
injected in the month of March 2015, ascertaining one month billing cycle for Meter
Reading and Bill processing against relevant input energy of the month.

Step 1 Collation of baseline information

The requisite baseline details were compiled through the office of concerning functional
heads / authorities and were subsequently verified through field survey or possible
secondary source. Sample study of each baseline have been also conducted to
comprehend in detail as well as record the process of maintaining such details with the
Functional heads and verification sources as well as deviation observed if any have been
also highlighted to ensure transparent reporting.

authority.
Field verification of all the baseline data through sample sizing has also been conducted
by the techno commercial team of experts deputed by Konergy over the assignment. Any
deviations observed during the practical survey have been discussed with the authorities
to seek appropriate justification and any further despondence has been highlighted in
the report as variance.
46
Step 2 Feeder wise Energy records

An alternative approach has been observed for validation of the baseline information
collated under step 1. The approach focuses at sample sizing of parent 33kV feeders
feeding Bikaner City Circle from the respective injection Substation and equating the
energy recorded through corresponding 11kV feeders summing up with energy recorded
at the Bus coupler.
Step 3 Verification of energy records

The energy data records through available CMRI meters have been collated and verified
with the Log book records in order to study variations in energy records if any and
further assess possible accuracy levels of the given energy baseline records. It is
important to note that the CMRI readings of all feeders were not available even after
several efforts. Thus, energy records for the available CMRIs have been assessed as a
sample study.
Step 4 Treatment of Variations

Log book records maintained at Substations were compared with meter records as
captured by MRI based meter readings. A deviation factor has been calculated for input
energy based on monthly MRI data available for each feeder (Injection point) and as per
the log book.
Energy injected
Sample Log book CMRI Benchmark Deviation

II E=C (F) = (E-B)/B
III E=B (F) = (E-B)/B
IV E=B (F) = (E-B)/B
Case 1: In case MRI based meter reading is not available, the energy injected
information/data as per the log book has been considered
Case II: Deviation less than .5% has been ignored considering the time stamp variation
between MRI reading and log-sheet reading. MRI readings have been considered when
the readings are available.
Case III: Deviations of more than .5% have been dealt on case to case basis with the field
officials.

7.13 Sample feeder wise Energy Injection point survey

A sample survey for selective injection feeders have been conducted by the working group in order
to verify the health of feeder meters and assess its reliability as part of baseline. The Log book
readings of all feeders emanating from the respective 33/11kV GSS were verified from respective
AENs and subsequently vetted with the baseline data received. The Working Group team
comprising of techno-commercial experts from Konergy also verified data from the RVPN and
surveyed accuracy and health of the input meters at the EHVs and 33/11kV Substation. The team
also reviewed energy recording at all the 33/11kV Substations and EHV incomers at a specific
hour of the day, for five consecutive days to cross verify the meter accuracy and relevant MF.
Further, all energy recorded at all incomer and outgoing feeders was also reviewed monthly from
each EHV S/s and 33/11kV S/s to identify any deviation in readings. Any feeder specific deviation
factor has been applied to the given data if observed and these deviations are highlighted feeder
wise.
Treatment of Deviation
It has been observed that there is a deviation/variation in energy recorded in incomer feeders (33
KV or 11 KV) and outgoing feeders (33 KV or 11 KV) at same Substation. Subsequently over
detailed analysis, it has been observed that this variation is a result of variances in accuracy class
of meters installed. In case the deviation factor is within the range of 0 to 0.5%, no deviation
factor has been applied on energy input and the same has been corrected.

7.16 Verification of Energy sales
The section elaborates on independent assessment study for ascertaining accurate Energy Sales of
Bikaner City Circle for the base year study of FY 2015-16. Detail review of the billing processes have
been studied for component wise billings. Thus, billings in accordance with the guidelines stipulated
by the RERC, Electricity Act 2003 and Jodhpur Discoms commercial and billing circulars have been
ascertained for accounting energy sales. Further, Subdivision wise and Category wise Billing MIS have
been studied for the entire circle for assessing variances in energy sales accounting and adjustments.
The following step wise energy sales assessment has been adhered to:
Step
Step 1 Step 4
Step 2 Step 3 Energy

Sample study of each baseline has been conducted to understand and record the process
of maintaining such details with deliberations under Functional heads, verification
sources as well as deviation observed if any have been also highlighted exclusively to
have dependable baseline information.
Field verification of all the baseline data through sample sizing has been conducted by
the techno commercial team of experts deputed by Konergy over the assignment. Any
deviations observed during the survey have been also discussed with the authorities to
seek appropriate justification and any further despondence has been highlighted in the
report as variance.
Step 2 Data segmentation

The collated baseline information were filtered and sanitised in order to have authentic
baseline data for analysis. The baseline was further segmented and profiled as per
objective of the study. The billing data MIS were segmented component wise,
subdivision wise and category wise for accurate assessment of energy sales. The
component wise segregation of data was done through separating LT sales, CB (Sundry
input Advices) and MS 14 input formats to sectionalise the study and enable detailed
study of the variances.
Step 3 Due diligence

Under this step, field verifications of records have been conducted by the techno-
commercial team of Konergy. The team has reviewed the billings on the basis norms set
out by the RERC as well as the commercial norms set out through guidelines and
circulars issued by the respective authorities.
57
The following studies have been conducted for validating the energy sales data and
accurate assessment of the sales:
1. Assessment and correction of energy sales and revenue billed through evaluating
the billing adjustment formats:
a. MS14 Billing assessment - The MS14 input Advices have been also
assessed in the following manner:
i. HT sales through correcting HT sales with the HT billings

executed by the office of AO (HT Billing). Sample study of the bills
generated and process of billings.
ii. Temporary and Vigilance input formats through sample

verification of such postings subdivision wise and further
correcting units and assessment posted in each format adhering
to the set out guidelines for billing.
b. CB Adjustments Assessment of units billed for each Debit and Credit

entry under the format and ensuring that entries with respect to energy
sales have been executed with units associated to each adjustment.
2. Correction of units posted against wrong billings, if any during the baseline year
of study.
Step 4 Verifications
The various entries were segregated on the basis of study and process of verification set out above.
The sundry analysis done under various adjustment codes was tabulated and the sum of corrected
energy sales adjustment and revenue billed were compared with the energy sales and revenue
billed inputted through input advices sent to billing agencies. The respective correction factors
were determined by the variations observed between corrected energy sales & revenue
adjustments, deduced through our analysis, and adjusted energy sales & revenue inputted
through input advice sent to the billing agencies. The corrections assessed in the adjusted
component for revenue billed and energy sales in the input advices were subsequently applied to
the adjusted components for revenue billed and energy sales available under MIS data sheets for
3.1 for assessing the category wise Net Revenue Billed and Energy Sales.

Approach for verification of MS14 sales:

The MS14 invoices for the base year of study have been compiled and classified into current year assessment only and Sales with respective assessment
recognised have been reflected as normal Sales.
The normal sales have been further verified through comparative study of respective ABR ensuring lowest applicable tariff.
Rectification of unit sales has been done on the basis of lowest applicable tariff in order to have a closer approximation of unit sales.
Adjustment units posted only for reversal of previous year over or under assessment have been reversed and not considered in the evaluation

7.18 Correction of Agriculture units
The circle has around 3% of total revenue assessment from Agriculture consumers therefore a detailed study of the Agriculture consumption was carried
out with threefold approach:
Methodology 1 - In the first approach of assessing connected load against energy sales, no significant variations were found and no alternative and
dependable record was also available of the connected load apart from the MIS 3.1 shared by the billing agency for the sample months. Thus, a field
study was conducted for sample consumers for ensuring accuracy of present authorised connected load and illegal connected load against the current
records available at the subdivision offices. Thus it was considered that the connected load has been apportioned as per permissible levels of Commercial
regulations set forth for AG Flat and AG metered consumers.
Methodology 2 - Sample verification of energy charges apportioned against the connected load mentioned in the MIS has been also studied and no
deviations were observed since the Energy charges were for AG FLAT were in tune with the Tariff order and AG Metered were also found within
permissible range after considering JdVVNL revenue circulars allowing unmetered / defective metered consumers to be billed according to AG FLAT
process.
Methodology 3 -An alternative approach has been adhered for evaluating the minimum tariff per unit set out by the RERC tariff guidelines and same
were adhered for assessing the Average Billing Rate subdivision wise and month wise to evaluate billing rate below minimum applicable Tariff and
segregate such units from the sales. Deviations were observed in the billing rate and therefore unit sales were adjusted back.

Certain anomalies were observed in the Sundry input units and MS14unit posting which were rectified in the billing formats and discussed with the
respective authorities and advisable corrections were made.
Anomalies were also observed where accumulated Board Dues Adjustment related to previous years have been lump sum credited in Current Year
Adjustments. Thus Adjustment pertinent to the base year of study have been credited back through Adjustment Board Dues column of the above table.

7.20 Average Billing

The share of unmetered energy sales is around 6.74% of the total energy sales in Bikaner. The
remaining sales are through metered readings as per the MIS 3.1 baseline information. The
unmetered sales have been accounted on the basis of Average energy readings assigned by the
TCOS as well as RERC norms. The major portion of the Average energy readings belong to
Agriculture & Street Light categories of sales.

7.21 High Tension (HT) and Low Tension (LT) Losses in Bikaner City
Circle:
Bikaner City Circle has almost similar share of HT and LT consumption as per the baseline
records. Thus, a circle wise T&D loss parameter may not illustrate accurate health of the system.
The techno-commercial team have taken efforts to segregate HT and LT share of losses in order
to give a true assessment of network health and scope of system improvement in the circle.
A. Methodology for loss assessment
1. Sample study of the selective HT feeders for six months and evaluating Avg. HT Losses.
2. Segregate total HT consumption and LT consumption of the circle from the given baseline
of data.
3. Assume the HT losses as per the sample study and total circle losses as per the independent
assessment illustrated in this report.
4. Estimate LT losses through aforesaid variables.
B. Category wise HT Sales
HT Categories Gross unit sales

C. Sample study of HT LT Losses
The HT Losses have been brought form the sample study on six months average basis for the
circle. Thus, the average losses for the base year 2015-16 for High Tension (HT) consumption
is internally audited by the HTM (BCC) at ~1.25% as per format SOM - Energy Audit Reports
and consequently LT Losses have been observed at 31.32%.
