21.12.2016

List of participants is enclosed as Annexure A.

COO (CTU-PLG), POWERGRID welcomed all the participants. Thereafter, agenda-

wise deliberations commenced and the details of deliberations are as given below.

1.0 Confirmation of the minutes of 23rd Meeting of WR Constituents regarding

Connectivity & Long-term Access applications in Western Region held on 01-

06-2016 at NRPC, New Delhi

CTU informed that minutes of 23rd Meeting of WR Constituents regarding

Connectivity & Long-term Access applications in Western Region held on

01.06.2016 were circulated vide their letter ref C/CTU/W/01/OA-23/MOM dated

22.06.2016. As no comments were received, the minutes were confirmed as

circulated.

2.0 Connectivity Applications from RE Generation Developers in Western Region.

2. 1 CTU stated that a total twenty five nos. of connectivity applications of about 8768

MW quantum of power have been received for ISTS connectivity at Bhachau, Bhuj

Pool, Parli, Solapur, Kolhapur and Rajgarh Substations from various RE generation

developers in WR. Details of these connectivity applications are given in Table 1.

2. 2 CTU mentioned that as per the Connectivity Regulations, the Grant of Connectivity

shall not entitle an applicant to inter-change any power with the grid unless it obtains

LTA, MTOA or STOA. Since MTOA & STOA are granted on the basis of margins

available in the grid and firm transfer of power is granted only with the LTA. If margin

is not available in existing system to grant LTA then new system is planned and

developed accordingly for the LTA applicants. As development of the new

transmission system may take few years and LTA is granted on the basis of First

Come First Serve basis, therefore, the applicants are advised to apply for the LTA to

ensure power evacuation & transfer to its beneficiaries under LTA on firm basis.

2. 3 Details of the connectivity applications in WR received are given below.

2. 4 It was informed that CERC in its order dated 05.01.2016 in Petition No: 420/MP/2014

has directed that wind developers should comply with the provision of LVRT (Low

Voltage Ride Through). Further, clause no 16.4 of the CEA Manual on Transmission

Planning Criteria (January, 2013) notifies that the wind and solar farms shall

maintain a power factor of 0.98 (absorbing) at their grid inter-connection point for all

dispatch scenarios by providing adequate reactive compensation and the same shall

be assumed for system studies.

2. 5 It was also informed that as per the CEA Manual on Transmission Planning Criteria,

the ‘N-1’ criteria may not be applied to the immediate connectivity of wind / solar

farms with the ISTS / Intra-STS grid i.e. the line connecting the farm to the grid and

the step-up transformers at the grid station.

3. 10 Based on the information given in the connectivity application it is noted that

connectivity required by the above applicants are from Mar’17 to June’18; effectively

meaning that only about 1.5 years are left for the development of the required

transmission system. As per the tariff policy in vogue, the new ISTS scheme is to be

implemented through TBCB route, which have a minimum implementation period.

Therefore, the generation developer needs to closely coordinate with the prospective

TSP to avoid mismatch in the implementation of the generation project, dedicated

transmission line and the planned ISTS system. Applicants were also advised to

apply for the LTA at the earliest to evolve transmission system strengthening

required for evacuation of power on firm basis.

connectivity required by the above applicant is from Mar’18 to June’19; effectively

meaning that only about 1 to 2.5 years are left for the development of the required

transmission system. As per the tariff policy in vogue, the new ISTS scheme is to be

implemented through TBCB route, which have a minimum implementation period.

Therefore, the generation developer needs to closely coordinate with the prospective

TSP to avoid mismatch in the implementation of the generation project, dedicated

transmission line and the planned ISTS system. Applicants were also advised to

apply for the LTA at the earliest to evolve transmission system strengthening, if

required.

14.0 Review of Transmission System for Banaskantha (Radhanesda) Ultra Mega

Solar Power Park in Dist. Banaskantha, Gujarat (700MW)

14.1 In the 40th SCM of WR and 23rd Connectivity / LTA meeting of WR held on

01.06.2016, following transmission system was agreed for interconnection of

Banaskantha (Radhanesda) Ultra Mega Solar Park (700MW) with ISTS network:

(i) Banaskantha (Radhanesda) Pooling Station – Bansakantha (PG) 400 kV D/c line along with 2 nos. 400 kV line bays at Bansakantha (PG) to be implemented by POWERGRID.

(ii) 2 nos. 400 kV line bays at Banaskantha (Radhanesda) for Banaskantha (Radhanesda) Pooling Station – Bansakantha (PG) 400 kV D/c line to be constructed by GPCL

14.2 In the 41st meeting of Standing Committee on Power System Planning in WR held on

21.12.2016 and subsequent meeting held on 17.01.17 in Gandhinagar, it was

decided that Banaskantha (Radhanesda) GIS 400/220kV PS shall also be developed

as a part of ISTS along with Banaskantha (Radhanesda) PS – Banaskantha (PG)

400 kV D/c line. Further, another solar park near Harsad (500MW) is also envisaged

which shall be connected to Banaskantha (Radhanesda) GIS 400/220kV PS in

future. Subsequently, GETCO vide email dated 20.01.2017 mentioned that they will

need 2 nos. of 220kV line bays at Banaskantha (Radhanesda) GIS 400/220kV PS to

feed their proposed 220kV substation (Rah or Mithi Paldi based on the location of

pooling station) in the 2020 time frame, however same may not be covered for

immediate implementation. In order to take care of future power transfer

requirement, it was decided that conductor for Banaskantha (Radhanesda) PS –

Minutes of 24


Page 29 of 30

Banaskantha (PG) 400 kV D/c line shall be considered with twin AL-59 conductor

which has about 30% more current carrying capacity than twin-moose ACSR

conductor whereas the incremental cost is only 5 to 10%.

14.3 Accordingly, based on the deliberation in the 41st SCM of WR / 24th Connectivity /

LTA meeting of WR held on 21.12.2016 and deliberations held in the meeting held

on 17.01.2017, following transmission system is agreed as evacuation system for

Banaskantha (Radhaneda) Solar Park:

i) Transmission system for 700 MW Banaskantha (Radhanesda) Ultra Mega Solar Park Project (UMSPP) a) Establishment of 2x500MVA, 400/220kV pooling station at Banaskantha

(Radhanesda) [GIS] along with 1x125MVAr bus reactor b) 4 nos. 220kV line bays at 400/220kV at Banaskantha (Radhanesda)

pooling station for Solar Park Interconnection. c) Banaskantha (Radhanesda) Pooling Station – Bansakantha S/s (PG) 400

kV D/c (twin AL59) line d) 2 Nos. of 400kV line bays each at Banaskantha (PG) S/s & Banaskantha

(Radhanesda) PS. e) Provision of space for 8 nos. 220 kV bays (4 nos. for solar injection and 4

nos. of GETCO drawl) f) Provision of space for future 400/220kV, 1X500 MVA ICT along with bays.

ii) GPCL confirmed to identify the land (of about 20 acres) between Radhanesda solar park and proposed Harshad solar park for setting up the 220/400 kV pooling station in a week’s time based on which decision for location of 220/400kV common pooling station shall be taken.

iii) GPCL assured that once the modified scheme is finalised and approved by SCM, the BG will be submitted latest by 28.02.2017.

iv) GETCO would require the two nos. of 220 kV bays at the 400/220 kV pooling station in 2020 time frame. Accordingly, provision may be kept for future but should not be covered for immediate implementation.

Meeting ended with vote of thanks.
