Agenda for 24th Meeting of WR Constituents regarding Connectivity

& Long-term Access applications in Western Region

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. 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

No comments on the MoM have been received till date. Members may confirm the

minutes of the 23rd Meeting of WR Constituents regarding Connectivity & Long-term

Access applications in Western Region held on 01.06.2016.

2. Connectivity Applications from RE Generation Developers in Western Region.

Total sixteen nos. of connectivity applications of about 5000MW quantum of power

have been received by CTU till August, 2016 for ISTS connectivity at Bhachau, Bhuj

Pool , Parli, Solapur and Rajgarh Substations of POWERGRID from RE generation

projects. Here it is to inform that CERC in its order dated 05.01.2016 in Petition No:

420/MP/2014 has directed that wind developers should comply to the provision of

LVRT (Low Voltage Ride Through). Further, the wind developers shall provide

adequate reactive compensation so that under all dispatch scenarios Power Factor

of 0.98 shall be maintained.

Further, it may be 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. Further, since MTOA & STOA are granted on

the margins available in the grid and firm transfer of power is granted only with the

LTA, therefore, the applicants are advised to apply for the LTA to ensure power

evacuation & transfer to its beneficiaries under LTA.

Details of the connectivity applications in WR received till August, 2016 are given

below.

Figure 1: Connectivity to RE generations in the vicinity of Bhachau and Bhuj

As per details given in table 1, four nos. of new connectivity applications have been

received at Bhachau S/s. Due to the severe ROW issues in the vicinity of Bhachau

and space constraints in Bhachau S/s, it is not possible to provide the connectivity to

new applicants at existing Bhachau S/s.

Considering the above and high RE potential in vicinity of Bhachau, it is proposed to

develop a new 400/220kV pooling station in vicinity of Lakadia in Bhachau Taluka,

Kutch district, Gujarat (Lakadia PS). The substation shall act as a pooling station for

the 4 nos. of new RE generations as well as for future RE generations that come up

in the area.

Here, it is to mention that Gujarat Flurochemicals Ltd. (GFL) was granted

connectivity to Bhachau s/s way back in 2011 through 220kV line (twin conductor) for

their 300MW wind farm at Maliya, Rajkot, Gujarat. It is understood that the line,

which was agreed to be constructed by GFL has not yet been taken up by them.

Accordingly, looking into severe ROW issues in the vicinity of Bhachau and space

contraints at Bhachau S/s, it is proposed to revise the connectivity of GFL to Lakadia

PS.

Accordingly, following is proposed for connectivity:

Common Transmission System for Connectivity of renewable generations in

Bhachau area (viz GRPL-Mathak, ORWPPL-Gagodhar, IWISL-Bhachau, GRPL-

Gagodhar):
