3.1 Case – 0 : Without Khargone generation & associated transmission system

Study was carried for 2017-18 condition without Khargone generation & its associated transmission system. Load Flow Study results are enclosed at Exhibit-0. From the results it may be observed that power flow on all the 400 & 765 kV transmission lines are well within their limits.

3.2 Case – 1 : With Khargone generation & System Strengthening

NTPC has indicated that the power plant is about 90 kms from Khandwa, 100 kms from Indore and 125 kms from Rajgarh substations of POWERGRID. Further, NTPC has indicated that there is no proposal for further expansion as there is acute space constraint. The existing Rajgarh – Khandwa 400 kV D/c line passes about 20 kms from the site. Based upon the request of NTPC the connectivity transmission system was agreed at 400kV level. Following transmission system is proposed for Connectivity & LTA of NTPC, Khargone TPS:- 1. NTPC Khargone – Indore (PG) 400 kV D/c (quad) line 2. NTPC Khargone – Dhule (Sterlite) 400 kV D/c (quad) line 3. Dhule (Sterlite) – Dhule (MSETCL) 400 kV D/c (quad) line 4. Indore (PG) - Indore (MPPTCL) 400 kV D/c (quad) line.
