Roadmap to operationalise Reserves in the country
- Salient points
• Philosophy recommended to be adopted
– Operation at constant frequency target of 50.0 Hz
– with constant area interchange
• For AGC, power plants and Load Dispatch Centres (LDCs)
– necessary software and communication infrastructure
– Automated control signals from LDC to the generator
• AGC to be operationalized wef 1st April 2017

CERC Terms and Conditions of Tariff
Regulations, 2014
“ the rate of return of a new project shall be reduced by 1% for such period as
may be decided by the Commission, if the generating station or transmission
system is found to be declared under commercial operation without
commissioning of any of the Restricted Governor Mode Operation (RGMO)/
Free Governor Mode Operation (FGMO), data telemetry, communication
system up to load dispatch centre or protection system:
as and when any of the above requirements are found lacking in a generating
station based on the report submitted by the respective RLDC, RoE shall be
reduced by 1% for the period for which the deficiency continues “

Secondary control through
Automatic Generation Control (AGC)

Automatic Generation Control
fundamentals
• Scheduled interchange
• Tie line telemetry (MW)
• Actual unit generation (MW)
• Frequency (Actual & Desired)
• Economic Dispatch program (ED) data
AGC control Modes
The following AGC control modes are provided
to allow AGC to be operated under various
system operational conditions
– Tie Line Bias Control (TLBC)
– Constant Frequency Control (CFC)
– Constant Net Inter-change Control (CNI)
– Tie Line Bias Control Plus Time error correction.
– The control mode is selected by the dispatcher via buttons located
on the operator panel of each console.

Secondary Control through AGC
• Pilot at NTPC Dadri Stg-II (2 x 490 MW)
– Dadri Stage II power plant is located near Delhi.
– Easy to visit and monitor the field level implementation process.
– High variable cost of the order of 325 paise/kWh
– Economical to keep Spinning Reserves as little opportunity cost
• Subsequent pilots could be explored in each region
– Simhadri-II in Southern Region
– NP Kunta Solar
– Wind project
• Detailed procedure would be submitted by POSOCO
28
Project progress
• A team from POSOCO, POWERGRID and M/s Siemens
– visited NTPC Dadri on 6th May 2016
– to explore the ground level requirements with NTPC
• Execution of AGC pilot project as per technical
specifications through limited tender
– Invited bids on 21st October 2016 from the four SCADA vendors
• M/s ALSTOM
• M/s OSI
• M/s Siemens
• M/s ABB
• Bids opened on 30th Nov 2016
• Letter of Award (LOA) issued to M/s Siemens on 18th Jan’17
and accepted by Siemens on 25th Jan ’17
• CERC Petition filed by POSOCO for payment mechanism on
3rd April 2017
– Hearing by CERC scheduled on 18th July 2017 29
Technical Specifications

Area Control Error (ACE) formula
• ACE = A * (Ia - Is) + 10 * Bf * (50 - Fa)
A = 0 or 1; 0 -> for adopting ‘only Frequency control
mode’ and 1 -> for adopting ‘Tie Line Bias mode’ (user
entry)
Ia = Actual net interchange (negative value for import)
Is= Scheduled net interchange (negative value for
import)
Bf = Frequency Bias Coefficient in MW/0.1 Hz
(positive value, user entry)
Fa = Actual System Frequency
31
ACE and AGC set point
• Spikes in ACE data are present for different
reasons.
– By design, AGC cannot handle large changes in ACE
– Pilot AGC shall clamp ACE exceeding +/- 800 MW to +/-
800 MW
32
Draft Rules for the CLU Algorithm at NTPC
• Receive Unit Status, Present Schedule and DeltaP signal and
number of mills.
34
1. Factoring AGC signals while evaluating deviations
35
2. Compensate for the Extra Energy spent/saved
• The AGC energy account will be available every week
• For AGC MWh generated during a block,
– payment @ variable charges to Dadri from the NR DSM pool
• For AGC MWh reduced during a time block
– Dadri pays @variable charges to the NR DSM pool
36
3. Incentivize for the ‘secondary regulation’ services
• For AGC MWh in each time block (+ve or –ve)
– 50 paise/kWh mark up payable to NTPC Dadri from NR DSM pool
37
Inputs needed for Accounting
(Main and Standby)
• MW Delta P signals every 10 seconds at NTPC Dadri
(Main)
Delta P = PAGCsetpoint – Pschedule
Integrated into MWh values for 15 minutes and 5 minutes

CERC approval is needed on the following
• Go ahead for the pilot project for NTPC Dadri Stage-II (2 x 490 MW) to
receive AGC signals from NLDC and regulate to the extent of 50 MW
up/down to start with and with provision to go up later.
