1. Demarcation of responsibilities (as per IEGC) 1. REGIONAL GRID SHALL BE OPERATED AS LOOSE POWER POOLS WITH STATES HAVING FULL OPERATIONAL AUTONOMY. 2.SYSTEM OF EACH STATE SHALL BE TREATED AS A NOTIONAL CONTROL AREA. STATES SHALL GENERALLY BE EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN THEIR ACTUAL DRAWAL FROM THE REGIONAL GRID CLOSE TO THE NET DRAWAL SCHEDULE (SUM OF SCHEDULED DRAWAL FROM ISGS AND ANY BILATERAL INTER CHANGE). 3.TIGHT CONTROL ON THE DEVIATIONS FROM SCHEDULE BY STATES NOT MANDATED DUE TO NON AVAILABILITY OF REQUISITE FACILITIES FOR MINUTE-TO-MINUTE ON LINE REGULATION OF DRAWALS. DEVIATIONS FROM SCHEDULE TO BE PRICED APPROPRIATELY. 4.WHENEVER SYSTEM FREQUENCY IS BELOW 49.5 Hz, STATES SHALL ENDEAVOR TO RESTRICT THEIR NET DRAWAL TO WITHIN THE SCHEDULE. LOADSHEDING TO BE RESORTED TO IN CASE FREQUENCY < 49.0 Hz.

2. Demarcation of responsibilities (contd.) 5. SLDCs / STUs TO CARRY OUT SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DEMAND ESTIMATION TO ENABLE ADVANCE PLANNING TO MEET THE CONSUMERS’ LOAD WITHOUT OVERDRAWING. 6. ISGS SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR GENERATING AS PER THE DAILY SCHEDULE ADVISED BY RLDC. 7. ISGS ALLOWED TO DEVIATE FROM THE SCHEDULE, IN LINE WITH THE FLEXIBILITY ALLOWED TO STATES. DEVIATIONS ARE TO BE APPROPRIATELY PRICED. 8. WHENEVER SYSTEM FREQUENCY > 50.3 Hz, ACTUAL NET INJECTION OF ISGS SHOULD NOT EXCEED SCHEDULED DESPATCH. 9. RLDC NAY DIRECT THE SLDCs/ ISGS TO INCREASE/ DECREASE THEIR DRAWAL/ GENERATION IN CASE OF CONTINGENCIES AND SUCH DIRECTIONS SHALL BE IMMEDIATELY COMPLIED.

3. DEMARCATION OF RESPONSIBILITIES (Contd.) 10.OUTAGE OF GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM TO BE COORDINATED THROUGH OCC/ RLDC. OUTAGE REQUIRING RESTRICTION ON ISGS GENERATION TO BE PLANNED CAREFULLY. 11. AGREEMENTS BETWEEN CONSTITUENTS AND ISGS INDICATING SHARES, DRAWAL PATTERN, TARIFFS, PAYMENT TERMS ETC. TO BE FILED WITH RLDCs AND REB SECRETERIATS FOR BEING CONSIDERED IN REA. SIMILAR FILING REQUIRED IN RESPECT OF BILATERAL AGREEMENTS. 12. FREQUENCY LINKED DESPATCH GUIDELINES, AS ISSUED BY RLDC, SHOULD BE FOLLOWED BY ALL CONSTITUENTS UNLESS OTHERWISE ADVISED BY RLDC. 13. ISGS TO DECLARE PLANT CAPABILITIES FAITHFULLY AND AVOID GAMING. RLDC MAY ASK THE ISGS TO EXPLAIN INSTANCES OF GAMING, IF ANY, WITH NECESSARY BACKUP DATA.

4. DEMARCATION OF RESPONSIBILITIES (Contd.) 14CTU WOULD BE ALLOWED TO INSTALL SPECIAL ENERGY METERS ON ALL INTER-UTILITY EXCHANGE POINTS AND THE CONSTITUENTS WOULD EXTEND THE NECESSARY ASSISTANCE TO CTU IN TIMELY COLLECTION OF METERED DATA. 15.RLDC TO COMPUTE -ACTUAL NET INJECTION OF EACH ISGS -ACTUAL NET DRAWAL OF EACH BENEFICIARY BASED ON ABOVE METER READINGS AND FORWARD THE SAME TO REB SECRETERIAT ON WEEKLY BASIS BY EACH THURSDAY NOON. COMPUTATIONS OF RLDC OPEN TO CHECKING/VERIFICATION BY CONSTITUENTS FOR 20 DAYS.

5. SCHEDULING AND DESPATCH PROCEDURE  ALL ISGS STATIONS WITH CAPACITIES AND ALLOCATED SHARES TO BE LISTED OUT  BY 1000 HRSEACH ISGS ADVISES RLDC OF ITS EX-POWER PLANT MW AND MWH CAPABILITIES ANTICIPATED FOR NEXT DAY i.e. 00:00 TO 24:00 HRS  BY 1100 HRSBENEFICIARIES ADVISED OF ABOVE INFORMATION ALONG WITH THEIR ENTITLEMENTS  BY 1500 HRSSLDCs ADVISE RLDC THEIR DRAWAL SCHEDULE FOR EACH OF THE ISGS IN WHICH THEY HAVE SHARE  BY 1700 HRSRLDC CONVEYS THE 'EX-POWER PLANT DESPATCH SCHEDULE (IN MW)' TO EACH ISGS AND 'NET DRAWAL SCHEDULE (IN MW)' TO EACH BENEFICIARY (AFTER DEDUCTING TRANSMISSION LOSSES)  RLDC TO ENSURE SCHEDULES ARE OPERATIONALLY REASONABLE WITH RESPECT TO RAMPING UP/RAMPING DOWN RATES AND THE MINIMUM TO MAXIMUM RATIO OF GENERATION.

6. SCHEDULING AND DESPATCH PROCEDURE (Contd.)  ISGS/SLDCs TO INFORM ANY MODIFICATIONS IN FORESEEN CAPABILITY/STATION WISE DRAWAL SCHEDULE TO RLDC BY 2200 HRS. RLDC TO ISSUE FINAL SCHEDULE IN SUCH CASES BY 2300 HRS.  REVISIONS IN SCHEDULE PERMITTED DURING THE COURSE OF THE DAY. SUCH REVISIONS EFFECTIVE ONE HOUR AFTER THE FIRST ADVISE IS RECEIVED BY THE RLDC.  RLDC TO CHECK FOR TRANSMISSION CONSTRAINTS, IF ANY, BEFORE FINALISING THE DRAWAL/DESPATCH SCHEDULE.  ON COMPLETION OF THE OPERATING DAY, SCHEDULE, AS FINALLY IMPLEMENTED DURING THE DAY SHALL BE ISSUED BY RLDC. THIS WOULD BE THE DATUM FOR COMMERCIAL ACCOUNTING.  RLDC TO PROPERLY DOCUMENT ALL THE ABOVE INFORMATION EXCHANGED BETWEEN ISGS AND RLDC, CONSTITUENTS AND RLDC ETC.  ALL RECORDS IN RESPECT OF ABOVE OPEN TO ALL CONSTITUENTS FOR ANY CHECKING/VERIFICATION FOR A PERIOD OF 20 DAYS.

Running day Scheduling: Any time “a”Any ISGS/ SLDC to NRLDC Changes in availability / requisition, if any for rest of the day Within next one and half hour of “a” NRLDC to all ISGS/ SLDCs Revised generation schedule to ISGS & net drawal schedule to SLDCs respectively for rest of the day ISGS:Inter State Generating Stations SLDC:State Load Despatch Centre

8. REVISION OF SCHEDULES S.no.EventRevision effective from 1. Forced outage of an ISGS unit. 4th time block after generator advises NRLDC of change in declared capability. 2. Transmission constraint4th time block + post facto revisions for first three time blocks. 3. Revision of ISGS capability 6th time block. 4. Revision of requisition by any beneficiary 6th time block 5. Suo-moto revisions by NRLDC 4th time block. Note:In all the above cases, the 15 minute time block in which NRLDC receives the above advise would be continued as the first one.
