INTRODUCTION
India is divided into five electrical regions.
INDIAN POWER GRID
NORTH-
NORTHERN EASTERN WESTERN SOUTHERN
EASTERN
NEW GRID
Very complex power transmission network
Its functioning, from power generation to power distribution
is more or less the same across all regional zones.
STABLE GRID
The stability of a grid is determined by keeping a check on the
demand and supply.
Power frequency reflects the balance between load and power
generation in the grid at a given instant.
Permissible frequency band specified by the Indian Electricity Grid
Code (IEGC) of the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission,
effective May 3, 2010, is 49.5 to 50.2 Hz.
Stability of the grid depends on a delicate equilibrium of
demand-supply chain.

Factors that led to the initiation of the
Grid Disturbance on 30th July, 2012
Weak Inter-regional Corridors due to multiple outages:
oOn this day also, effectively 400 kV Bina-Gwalior-Agra (one circuit) was the
only main circuit available between WR-NR.
oAlthough real power flow in this line was relatively lower than on 30th
July, 2012, the reactive power flow in the line was higher, resulting in
lower voltage at Bina end.
Inadequate Response by SLDCs to RLDCs instructions on this
day also to reduce overdrawl by the NR utilities and
underdrawal by the WR utilities.
