Live” on 20th January 2020. The same was communicated to constituents vide SRPC mail
dated 20.01.2020. It was also requested to scrutinize the relay settings uploaded in PDMS
constituents. All constituents were to communicate the feedback to SRPC and intimate the
changes through DMNS. In this regard reminder mail was send vide SRPC mail dated
17.04.2020. Consolidated comments regarding relays settings of all substations have been
received only from KSEBL.
Review meeting of PMS to verify the pending SAT features of PSCT was held in SRPC
Bengaluru on 12.03.2020 and 18.03.2020. During the meeting PRDC demonstrated
transient simulation for the following protection functions on Bus branch database of SR
network:
Bus Bar Differential Protection
Line/Cable Differential Protection
Transformer over fluxing Protection
Transformer Restricted Earth Fault Protection
Generator Differential Protection
Generator Reverse Power Protection
Generator Negative Sequence Protection.
Distance relay performance during power swing – This was demonstrated on test
system
As per the Record Notes of meeting PRDC shall be attending two pending features and 28
pass with remarks features immediately.
On completion of the two pending features and 28 pass with remarks features the project
could Go-Live. Hence, all utilities/users are requested to verify the data as well as
PSCT features thoroughly and report the same on urgent basis so that shortcomings, if
any, may be brought to the notice of the project implementer (i.e., M/s. PRDC) for
necessary correction/tweaking before the project is Going Live.
6. Protection Audit
6.1. Protection Audit of various 220kV & above stations in Southern Region
The recommendations of protection audit of various 220kV & above stations in
Southern Region held during October – December 2019 were compiled and were
circulated, utility wise, vide SRPC mail dated 21st April 2020. It was brought to the
notice of constituents that the observations/ Recommendations were categorised by
the PCSC as “To be implemented”, “Desirable”, “Optional” and “Drop” taking into
account primacy of system protection aspects.
Agenda for the 90th Meeting of PCSC scheduled to be held on 27th May, 2020 (through VC/Online) Page 3
It was also informed that the observations/recommendations categorised as “Drop”
were generally the aspects which, are consistent with best practice and already
available/implemented in the substation. The categorisation no way implied that the
observations/recommendations are disregarded.
The utilities were requested to make sincere efforts to comply with the
recommendations categorised as “Desirable” and “Optional”, as the same are the
considered recommendations of the audit team to facilitate the faultlessness of the
substations/switchyards. It was requested that compliance of such recommendation be
reported to SRPC for compiling the same for records and reference.
A meeting to review Islanding Schemes in SR, taking into consideration the network
changes, was held on 27.01.2020 at SRPC, Bangalore and Record Notes of the same
was circulated vide SRPC mail dated 27.01.2020. As per the same SR constituents
were requested to furnish the following information:
i. Low and high frequency set points of all generators (including RE) in the
existing/proposed Islanding Schemes.
ii. Frequency at which generators are taken to house load operation.
iii. Stage wise mapping of df/dt and AUFR relays in PSSE case file.
iv. All network changes/updates.
v. Implemented islands, and details of lines crossing islanding schemes and
network changes within islands.
vi. New generation additions proposed up to 31.3.2021.
vii. Renewable Generators (i.e. Solar & Wind) set points w.r.t to Under Frequency
and Over Frequency tripping and their location in PSSE case file.
viii. Critical loads within islands and their location in PSSE case file.
Details in this regard has been received from KSEBL, TANTRANSCO, PED, and
TANGEDCO. The details are consolidated at Annexure – IV. Details of House load
operation details of generators were also sought vide SRPC mail dated 17th March
2020. The information received in this regard is also available in Annexure –IV.
The utilities, which are yet to furnish the above information are requested to furnish
the same by 20th May 2020.
SPS for 400kV Nellore PS – Nellore DC lines operated on 22.02.2020 at 12:07 hr. and
400kV Nellore PS-Nellore line II tripped. During antecedent condition, 400 kV Nellore
PS-Nellore lines were connected directly to 400 kV Thiruvalam through the Tie-breaker
at Nellore. It was intended to take LC on 400 kV Nellore-NPS line-2 on 22.02.2020.
While taking LC, main breaker of Nellore-Thiruvalam line-2 was closed at Nellore end.
Since 400 kV Nellore- NPS is a short line, there was sudden inrush of power immediately
Agenda for the 90th Meeting of PCSC scheduled to be held on 27th May, 2020 (through VC/Online) Page 4
after closing the main breaker. Due to this SPS at Nellore operated resulting in the
tripping of line 2 at Nellore end and DT was send to NPS end.
SPS Logic implemented is: Tripping current setting = 2580A with Time Delay 5 Sec.
The issue may be discussed is meeting
As per information from KPTCL, during September - October 2019, the lines were kept
in non-auto mode due to insulator replacement works. However, auto reclose function in
the lines is still in disabled condition which is a matter of concern. Status of the work and
matter of enabling of auto reclosure in the lines may be discussed in the meeting.
10. Review of Distribution of Loads and Signal Paths of Raichur – Sholapur SPS,
Talcher – Kolar SPS, and Kudankulam (Unit-I & II) SPS
As per decisions in the 164th OCC meeting SPS mock testing was required to de done on
27th February 2020. However, subsequently TANTRANSCO, vide letter dated 21st
February 2020 requested to reschedule the mock test in view of pending works.
SRPC vide letter dated 24.02.2020 (Annexure-V) had taken up the matter regarding SPS
schemes implementation and mock testing was scheduled on 04.03.2020. However, the
scheduled mock test on 4th March 2020 could not be carried out due to the pending
works. Moreover, certain discrepancies were also noted w.r.t DTPC port confirmation
matrix provided by PGCIL as compared with the deliberations in the 77th PCSC meeting
and the wiring diagrams provided by states. The status of completion of works may be
deliberated in the meeting.
SPS for tripping of Kudankulam U#1 had operated on 7th February at 18:00 Hr. and on
30th April at 12:35 Hrs. However, the trip signal was not received at Karnataka on both
the occasions. Trip signal was not received at Andhra Pradesh during SPS operation on
30th April 2020 and hence there was no load relief. As confirmed by PGCIL the SPS trip
signal was generated at Kolar end. Non-receipt of trip signal at Karnataka and Andhra
Pradesh shall be discussed in meeting.
The following updates were furnished during 89th PCSC Meeting of SRPC held on 13-02-2020
at SRPC, Bangalore:
NTPC had informed that advance payment of Rs. 30 lakh had been released for retrofitting
of distance relays at Simhadri with Line differential relays.
PGCIL (SR-1) had intimated that work would be started soon and expected to be completed
by March 2020. They also requested NTPC to expedite release of remaining payment.
Status of LDP shall be discussed in the meeting.
PGCIL (SR-1) is requested to furnish regarding status of implementation of Line
Differential Protection at Simhadri complex.

Sir,
The SPS is of paramount importance for secured grid opera tion. The new DTPCs were
commissioned by POCIL at the locations from where the signal was to be extended to the new I
existing identified load reliefs by the states for the Talcher-Kolar, Raichur-Sholapur and
KKNPP-I&2 S1'S schemes. The DTPC commissioning was completed by POCIL in the IS'
quarter of 2019.
The S1'S Distribution Matrix was finalized in the 77lh meeting of 1'CSC held on
21.08.2018 .
Despite sustained follow-up in the ace I 1'CSC meetings, some of the SPS nodes are
yet to be armed which is a matter of serious concern.
In the 164'h OCC meeting held on 11.02.2020, it was noted that all the works except few
nodes in K1'TCL in respect of SPS were completed. 111e works were planned to be completed
by 26.02.2020 and therefore mock test was planned on 27.02.2020. In the 89'h 1'CSC meeting
held on 13.02.2020, it was noted that there were some pending works in respect of nodes of
TANTRANSCO (port confirmation) and KPTCL (wiring issues). TANTRANSCO vide letter
under reference has pointed out that port confirmatio n in respect of nodes of TANTRANSCO
was yet to be received from SR-II, 1'OCIL and requested for reschedule of the mock test.
This urgent matter needs to be addressed immediately by taking following steps:

Sir,
Wiring from DTPC to Relay on account of the SPS relocation at all location
has been completed. But there is ambiguity regarding the input to be connected at the
DTPC end . So we need the assistance of PGCIL-SR II for completing this task. All
other works from KSEB side has been completed and is ready for end to end testing. It
is requested that necessary steps may taken to complete the same.
Yours faithfully,
\ Chief
