ABT Meters
ABT means Availability based Tariff .

The term Availability of ABT

Indicates that the power MW should be available. It may specifically be noted that energy charge (at the specified plantspecific rate) is not based on actual generation and plant output, but on scheduled generation.

Availability as a base
For example if the rated capacity of generator is 50 MW out of which 30 MW generation is available , the base for billing would be 30 MW and not 50 MW. 30 MW would be scheduled generation for calculating deviation if any. If 20 MW power is generated instead of scheduled 30 MW , the penalty of 30-20 = 10 MW would be imposed as UI charge.

Implementation of ABT was recommended initially at Central Generating Stations in the year 1994 by M/s ECC of USA under the study sponsored by World Bank and Asian Development Bank .

ABT tries to improve a quality of power and curtail the following

Unacceptable rapid and high frequency deviations Frequent grid disturbances which result in generator tripping , power outages and grid instability. The pricing of power is made frequency dependent by ABT.

ABT Operation and Billing & Payment Mechanism

The SEBs give the LD its requirement in 15-minute blocks for the next day. At the same time the CGS stations also provide the LD their 15-minute availability positions.

ABT Operation and Billing & Payment Mechanism

Based on the declared demand and available supply, the LD provides a schedule to the SEBs and the CGS for drawl and generation in 15-minute blocks.

ABT Operation and Billing & Payment Mechanism

Based on the drawl and generation positions of the SEBs and the CGS stations, the UI bill is computed.

The Three-part ABT Tariff

Fixed Charge : This is

payable by the beneficiary states based on the capacity allocated to them, and is irrespective of the amount of power they draw or schedule to draw

The Three-part ABT Tariff

Energy Charge: All the

scheduled energy that is drawn is charged as per the variable energy charge of the station from which power is being drawn.

The Three-part ABT Tariff UI Charge : The UI

(Unscheduled Interchange) charge is levied on those units of energy that are a deviation from the schedule. This UI charge is frequency dependent.

Billed Amount
Billed Amount = Fixed Charge + Energy Charge + UI Charge

The energy is metered in 15-minute time blocks, since frequency keeps changing (and the UI rate with it). The metered energy is then compared with the scheduled energy for that 15minute time block, and the difference (+ or -) becomes the UI energy. Corresponding UI rate is determined by taking the average frequency for the same 15-minute time block into account.

ABT Meters
Intelligent meters Based on polled approach

Principle of working of ABT meter

The energy is recorded in terms of pulses per kWh . The principle of working of static ABT meter is sampling . The voltage and current singles are received from PT and CT respectively .The samples of these signal at a particular instant are collected by Sample and Hold circuit . The phase difference between voltage and current is also found out . These values are analogue values .

Principle of working of ABT meter

The CPU [ Central Processing Units ] only accepts digital signals . Therefore , the analogue signals are converted to digital by the circuit called ADC [Analogue to digital converter].The CPU processes these input signals for finding KVA [VI] , kWh [ VI cos ] , RKVA [ VI sin ] and other parameters . In order to measure the energy in terms of units , the circuit Energy to frequency converter is provided. The energy is converted into pulses . The counter counts number of pulses .

OPEN ACCESS, WHEELING

Open access and wheeling generally involve two parties, one supplying a certain quantum of power to the other through the regional / State grid. Any such transaction involves a number of parties, and disputes could arise in scheduling, energy accounting and commercial settlement, unless an appropriate framework is in place.

OPEN ACCESS, WHEELING

Suppose party - A has contracted to supply 10 MW round the clock to party B (in the same State) at a certain price (which need not be disclosed to others), through the State grid. Suppose the transmission loss apportioned to this transaction has been determined as 0.5 MW. Party - B would then be entitled to receive 9.5 MW, provided party - A is actually injecting 10.0 MW into the State grid at its end. In actual operation, both injection by A and drawl by B may fluctuate over the day and the differential may vary from 0.5 MW. Who would pick up the commercial liability arising on account of these deviations? Since A and B are physically apart and operationally independent, a pragmatic solution for commercial treatment in such a case would be to meter the actual injection of A and actual drawl of B in 15-minute time blocks, and separately compute their deviations from their respective schedules (10.0 MW / 2.5 MWh for A and 9.5 MW / 2.375 MWh for B).

How to test Tulip connectivity ?

Contact ABT Room at SLDC , Kalwa At Substation end , make following operations on ABT PC Click on Start button . Click on Run Type the word CMD and click OK . Type IPCONFIG and press enter button. Type PING_code and press enter button. The indication healthy indicates healthiness of the Tulip link.

Check tulip configuration

Maintenance of ABT-Tulip System

AC/DC supply of PC / DCU /Tulip Devices should not be switched off in any case. The power points should be dedicated and should not be used for other purpose such as mobile charging . GPS should be always charged and running The clock of meter /PC/MRI should be accurate and as per GPS.

Maintenance of ABT-Tulip System

Ping test should be conducted daily to ensure that the data is transmitted to SLDC Kalwa at ping 172.16.0.1 Any change in CTPT ratio should be configured in ABT meter and PC. The CC tool should be used for this purpose. No new transformer should be taken in service without ABT Configuration .

Maintenance of ABT-Tulip System

The wiring should be proper and should not be disturbed. The installation should be neat-clean and free from dust. In case AC supply is to be switched off , the PC should be shut down properly. In case of CT/PT/ meter failure , proper assessment of energy should be done.

Maintenance of ABT-Tulip System

Data should be retrieved using MRI on first date of the month particularly in respect of T2G feeder.

Problems with ABT / Tulip

No display problem.

Delay in Report Generation MRI / MRI Software / Training not given PC not working . Antivirus not installed. The Tulip link is not healthy .

Problems with ABT

Energy Audit of Lines is not calculated. Power ON/OFF Reports - EHV Substations have bus PT and not line PT. Therefore the logic should be only Current OFF and not Voltage OFF or Power OFF . ABT meters operate on auxiliary AC/DC supply . However , at almost all substations , ABT meters are connected on DC . This may create problem when there is DC leakage.

Problems with ABT

UPS of ABT trips on overvoltage / undervoltage at EHV substations . Therefore , it is required to provide stabilizer instead of UPS.

Roadblocks in ABT meter commissioning

At generating stations , the LV of generating transformer is connected directly to 33 KV bus. No CT / PT are provided. There is no adequate space in switchyard for providing CT/PT. Metering core not available in CTs. 5 A CT are provided and not 1 A. It is difficult to install ABT meter on outdoor panels.
