Functions to be carried out by the Load Despatch Centres in India
State Load Despatch Centre, HP Load Despatch Society Functions to be carried out by the Load Despatch Centres in India “It would be seen that on an average 60 to 70 skilled executives might be required in a typical LDC. The manpower requirements may vary depending upon the size of the power system under the jurisdiction of LDCs. For example, larger states such as Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra require several Area Load Despatch Centres (ALDCs) to assist the SLDC. The number of persons required in these states for load despatching would be higher. Likewise, the requirement in SLDCs of union territories and smaller states would be lower.”

Recommendations of the Pradhan Committee
State Load Despatch Centre, HP Load Despatch Society Recommendations of the Pradhan Committee Ring Fencing of LDCs to ensure their functional autonomy Three distinct revenue streams for LDC’s – Fees and charges for system operation, Tariff for decision support and IT Infrastructure, and Operating charges for scheduling, metering and settlement for market players Training and Certification of system Operators Suitable Incentives and Compensation Structure to retain and attract talent at LDCs Standardization and Harmonization of the Work in the LDCs
15
Segregation of Assets and Liabilities
State Load Despatch Centre, HP Load Despatch Society Segregation of Assets and Liabilities Ownership of new RTUs to rest with the entities in whose premises these are located. Existing as well as work-in-progress RTUs in central sector stations and state sector stations could rest with the CTU and STUs/SEBs respectively as per the prevailing arrangement. The communication system from substation to the nearest control centre as well as between control centres should continue to be that of CTU or STUs/SEBs. In case of any special requirements, the LDCs can assess, plan and take on lease such communication system. The computer system along with software and peripherals located in the control centre building of NLDC/RLDCs and SLDC/Sub-LDCs should be transferred to respective entities managing these LDCs.
16
Transfer of LDC Buildings and Associated Facilities
State Load Despatch Centre, HP Load Despatch Society Transfer of LDC Buildings and Associated Facilities “As per the Recommendations of the Gireesh Pradhan committee report, the load despatch functions are to be ring-fenced and separate representative board structure for governance of LDCs need to be formed, In order to have effective and efficient operation of the LDCs so formed, it is essential that all the LDCs are adequately equipped with the requisite manpower and the infrastructure facilities and are having financial sustainability. In this respect it is important that the buildings/parts of buildings which were exclusively created for functioning of the above LDCs are also transferred to the respective LDCs so that the LDC functions may be carried out smoothly.”

Specific Requirements and Action Needed
State Load Despatch Centre, HP Load Despatch Society Specific Requirements and Action Needed
21
State Load Despatch Centre, HP Load Despatch Society
Functions Requirement of Manpower/Infrastructure Availability of real time data Separate console/VPS for SLDC At present, most of this infra structure is owned by POWERGRID and they are raising bills to HPSEBL for use of the system The present scheme proposes that HPLDS will have to bear about 20 % of the charges for use of this system. This scheme needs to be revised keeping in view the fact that SLDC needs t o be Ring fenced Relevant information from all the state participants to make informed decisions Communication channels with all stakeholders for the integrated operation of power system in the state. Setting up of a state Power Committee to resolve all Intra state power issues.
22

Requirement Action Needed Load Forecasting Outside agency is assigned the job of forecasting load, Software is purchased for load forecasting. Website for dissemination of Data Required under IEGC, and HPEGC A programmer/software engineer can be hired for the job of creating and maintaining the website, or The job of building and maintaining the websites is allotted to an outside agency as a package. In any case, an IT cell/unit is absolutely essential in SLDC to manage the IT activities even if most of the activities are outsourced Load Flow Studies Software for load flow studies needs to be purchased for maintaining the healthiness of the Sate Grid over a period of time.
23
State Load Despatch Centre, HP Load Despatch Society
Requirement Action Needed Software for Scheduling of Power Software to be developed for automatic retrieval of schedules from NRLDC website, and posting it on SLDC website after apportioning the shares to the respective beneficiaries. This will essentially have to be developed in house as per the requirements of the load despatch function, and a programmer/software engineer can be hired for the purpose for a short term. Line diagrams of the state network to be provided and upgraded by the transmission/distribution licensees in the State. STU (HPPTCL) and DISCOM (HPSEBL) would be requested to update the line diagrams of their transmission/distribution network on a regular basis, and They would be asked to supply the updated diagrams to SLDC for effective planning and decision making.

Requirement Action Needed Reliable communication facilities for prompt transmission of instructions to all concerned. Dedicated Phone/Fax lines will be required for the shift staff as well as the offline staff for effective communication with various stakeholders. It is proposed that minimum 5 phones are installed for the SLDC staff, with at least 3 phones having fax facility. It is also proposed to have one BSNL Internet connection in addition to the POWERGRID Internet that will be available from HPSEBL. SEM data from the relevant check points Identification of points from which the SEM data would be required The matter needs to be taken up with the respective authorities for providing SEM data to SLDC.

Types of Open Access and Role of SLDC
State Load Despatch Centre, HP Load Despatch Society Types of Open Access and Role of SLDC Short Term Inter-state Open Access (when the drawl point and the injection point are located in different states) : NRLDC is the nodal agency for such Open Access, but SLDCs have to issue the Concurrence for the same before such access can be granted Short Term Intra-State Open Access ( when the drawl point and the injection point are located in the same state): SLDC is the nodal agency for such transactions, which means that SLDCs have to coordinate with all concerned agencies to ensure that the transactions happen seamlessly, and the payments are made and received in time by all concerned 3. Grant of connectivity, Medium Term and Long Term Open Access in Distribution: DISCOM is the nodal agency for such Open Access Transactions

State Load Despatch Centre, HP Load Despatch Society Types of Open Access and Role of SLDC 3. Grant of connectivity, Medium Term and Long Term Open Access in Intra-State Transmission System: The State Transmission Utility is the nodal agency for such Open Access transactions 4. Collective Open Access transactions With the development of the platforms of the power exchanges in India, the number of generators/consumers wanting to sell/buy power to/from the exchanges has increased manifold. SLDCs not only have to keep an account of such power sold/bought, but will also have to work out the UI implications of such transactions, and ensure that the transactions are made according to governing rules and regulations

Conclusions A strong SLDC is the requirement of the times as increasingly more and more responsibilities are being delegated to the SLDCs by various central bodies like CERC, HPERC, NLDC, etc. SLDCs are statutory bodies that have defined roles and responsibilities under the Electricity Act, 2003 Therefore, SLDC needs to be strengthened in terms of manpower as well as Infrastructure
36
State Load Despatch Centre, HP Load Despatch Society
Conclusions 4. The Present system of Ring fencing of SLDC has created a weak and depleted SLDC and a strong ALDC (which in principle is supposed to assist SLDC) It is therefore proposed that more manpower is transferred from ALDC to SLDC, or from wherever it is deemed fit so that all the functions of SLDC can be carried out as per the letter and spirit of the Electricity Act, 2003
