Hydro Coal Energy Resource Map
Resources are far away from Load centers. Necessitates Long Transmission links for evacuation Spatial Distribution Of Load HYDRO RESOURCES DELHI KOLKATTA Source: Powerline (Siemens Ad), Oct-2006 MUMBAI COAL BELT BANGALORE CHENNAI AREAS SHOWN ARE APPROXIMATE AND INDICATIVE
Necessity for strong transmission backbone … A strong transmission network backbone is essential in order to transfer the power across the length and breadth of the country : - Due to high load growth and low generation avenues in Northern and Western Regions - Due to low load and high generation in Eastern and North Eastern regions - Due to high load growth and monsoon dependent generation availability in Southern Region
Milestones 1989 Unbundling of CS transmission from generation - (Formation of National Power Transmission Corporation .. now POWERGRID) 1991 Generation opened to Private Sector 1995 Unbundling process started in States - State unbundled into Gencos, Transco & Discom 1998 Electricity (Amendment) Act 1998 1998 Electricity Regulatory Commission Act passed 2003 Electricity Act 2003 enacted in June 2003 2004 CERC Order and Regulations on OPEN ACCESS
Open Access: Definition As per Electricity Act, 2003 Section 2 (47) “Open access” means the non-discriminatory provision for the use of transmission lines or distribution system or associated facilities with such lines or system by any licensee or consumer or a person engaged in generation in accordance with the regulations specified by the Appropriate Commission;”
A More general Definition of “Open Access” “Enabling of non-discriminatory sale/ purchase of electric power/energy between two parties utilizing the system of an in- between (third party), and not blocking it on unreasonable grounds”
Scope/Applicability… Subject to any other regulations specified by the Commission, the long-term customer shall have first priority for using the inter-State transmission system for the designated use. These Regulations shall apply for utilization of surplus capacity available thereafter on the inter-State transmission system by virtue of- (a) Inherent design margins; (b) Margins available due to variations in power flows; (c ) Margins available due to in-built spare transmission capacity created to cater to future load growth or generation addition: As per CERC Regulations 2008 Clause 3

OPEN ACCESS: JOURNEY ...
Open Access in ISTS: Journey… CERC Regulations on Open Access in Inter State Transmission implemented w.e.f. 6-May-2004. CERC amended the above Regulations and the amended Regulations implemented w.e.f 01-04-2005. CERC on 25-01-2008 amended the Regulations and the new Regulations are implemented w.e.f 01-04-2008.
Open Access in ISTS: Journey… Products – Long term Access Short term Access - Advance - First Come First Serve - Day ahead - Same Day transactions CERC OA Regulations 2004 and Amendment, 2005
Open Access in ISTS: Journey… CERC OA Regulations 2004 and Amendment, 2005 • Long Term : Twenty five years and above - Life of the Assets about 25 years - Existing beneficiaries of a regional transmission system owned or operated by CTU- deemed long term customers - New Long Term Open Access customers: Require BPTA for inter-State transmission • Short Term : Which is not Long Term - Essentially a Non firm service - The service may be curtailed if system security demands.
Effective 01.04.2008 Regulations cover only Short-term Open Access Transactions categorized as - Bilateral - Collective (through PX) Earlier Products of Short-Term retained under Bilateral Transactions Nodal Agency - Bilateral : RLDCs - Collective : NLDC Open Access in ISTS: Journey… CERC OA Regulations 2008
Open Access in ISTS: Journey… Products – Short term Access - Advance - First Come First Serve - Day ahead - Contingency CERC OA Regulations 2008 Long term Access Provisions relating to Long Term as per the Open Access Regulations, 2004 to continue, till CERC further notifies.
Both Buyers and Sellers of Collective transactions to bear transmission charges and absorb transmission losses Inter-Regional links -No Separate treatment. Emphasis on “Scheduling” rather than “Reservation” SLDC consent mandated along with application In case of Congestion – e-Bidding without Price Cap Exit Option provided with payment of up to 5 days open access charges. Moving towards empowerment of SLDCs Open Access in ISTS: Journey… CERC OA Regulations 2008

Open Access – Success Story Transactions between extreme corners of the country RGCCPP ( Kayamkulam) to PSEB Arunachal Pradesh(NER) to PSEB TNEB to J&K Large number of Captive Generating plants used STOA and helped in enhancing the power availability in grid.

Open Access – Success Story Even costly power was harnessed to meet the high demand RGCCPP ( Kayamkulam) (NAPTHA) to PSEB BSES(KERALA) (DIESEL) to NDMC (DELHI) Diversity being gainfully utilised by Market players under STOA Delhi/TNEB Export in night ; Import during evening peak ANDHRA Export during evening peak ; Import in night Generators PLF has also increased. Kayamkulam GPS - (From 57 % in 2006-07 to 82 % in 2007-08- 82%)
OPEN ACCESS: ISSUES…
Open Access - Issues Skewed load – generation pattern Constrained Transmission Network under certain conditions Consents by STU/SLDC for injection of power by embedded customers Telemetry Metering Scheduling PPAs
Open Access - Issues UI Settlement of Intra state entities Before the Implementation of Open Access Regulations 2008, for deviations different STU/SLDCs are charging differently for embedded customers. At times even the clearance was being withheld for want of approval philosophy. In the New Open Access Regulations the issues are being addressed
OPEN ACCESS: WAY AHEAD…
Open Access- Way Ahead… Empowerment of SLDCs Intra State ABT Power Exchanges (Pxs) Easy and workable solutions to tap micro/mini Non conventional Energy Resources
Open Access- Way Ahead… Empowerment of SLDCs - Greater role assigned to State Load Despatch Centre (SLDC) to bring them at par with the Regional Load Despatch Centre (RLDC). - unless specified otherwise by the concerned State Commission, the UI rate for intra-State entity shall be 105% (for over-drawals/under generation) and 95% (for under-drawals / over generation) of the UI Rate at the periphery of regional entity. This has been done to facilitate dispute free energy accounting and settlement of deviations for intra-state entities located in the State where intra-state ABT has not yet been implemented. - Empowerment of SLDCs has been made technically and financially.
WAY AHEAD Traditional bilateral transactions as well as collective transactions discovered in a Power Exchange. Scheduling and open access for collective transactions discovered in a power exchange through anonymous simultaneous competitive bidding by buyers and sellers, presently on day-ahead basis. Operationlisation of power exchanges. CTU has submitted Procedure for collective transactions to the Hon’ble Commission.
WAY AHEAD IMPLEMENTATION INTRA STATE ABT IN ALL STATES.
