POWERGRID; Perspective Plan • Creation of National Grid and enhancing inter-regional transfer capacity from the present level of 9,000 MW to 30,000 MW by 2012 • Investment Required by 2012 : Rs. 71,000 Crores • By POWERGRID : Rs. 51,000 Crore • By Pvt. Investors : Rs.20,000 Crores • Investment to take care of evacuation of Central Sector Share of generation addition of 100,000 MW planned till 2012. • Creation of National Grid of 30,000 MW Capacity will lead to reduction in Capacity addition of 13,000MW i.e. saving of Rs. 50,000 Crore in investments besides fuel cost saving.
R&D and Technology Development in POWERGRID • HVDC & EHVAC Transmission System upto 800 kV with multi Ckts. • Use of fixed & variable Series Compensator (FACTS) • Extra High Towers to avoid deforestation and protection of wild life • Compact Towers to reduce Right Of Way • High Temperature Conductors for increased Loading • Automation of Sub-stations. • Compact S/stn to reduce land requirement. • Satellite imagery for Transmission Line Survey.
POWERGRID beyond Transmission • Consultant for Transmission, telecom and Load Despatch System • Major Consultancy Assignments • Vishnu-Prayag transmission system of UPPCL • Transmission line survey in Afghanistan • Optical fibre network for Bhutan Telecom & National Load Despatch Centre in Bhutan • Execution of transmission line from Srinagar to Leh via Drass , kargil etc. • Facilitating Distribution Sector Reforms as Advisor-cum-Consultant in 105 circles under GOI’s APDRP Scheme. • Strengthening of Transmission, Sub-transmission & Distribution system in UP, Bihar & Goa & Meghalaya. • Rural Electrification of villages of Bihar
POWERGRID & Grid Management • Modernisation of Regional Load Despatch Centres (RLDC) / State Load Despatch Centres (SLDC) by POWERGRID • Implementing State of the Art Unified Load Despatch & Communication (ULDC) Schemes for overall improvement • Manpower • Manning of RLDC by Senior personnel • Training of RLDC & SLDC personnel on regular basis • Procedures • GRID CODE • Availability Based Tariff • All these resulted into: • Significant improvement in System Parameters • Merit Order Operation, Leading to Overall Economy • Improved grid performance • Increased intra and inter-regional Power Exchange and Trading
Philanthropic Approach of POWERGRID • POWERGRID developed and implemented “Environment and Social Policy and Procedure (ESPP)” document in wide consultation with Public, Environmentalists, NGOs and Multilateral Funding Agencies; the only Power Sector Utility to do so • In Talcher Project, too, implementation of Environment and people friendly Social Policy and Procedures • Minimization of forest stretch – only 20 Km in 1,400 Km • Electrification of villages under rural electrification programme • Electrification of more than 30,000 villages is the states of U.P., Bihar & West Bengal • Modernising power supply system in the institutions like BHU, IIT Kharagpur on no profit no loss basis • Improved power supply as well as training centre for modern supply system • Consultations with public in villages • Development of villages
Important Features • Talcher II (2000 MW) Generation Project : First inter-regional project for transfer of total power from Eastern to Southern Region • Transmission System • 2000 MW, (+/-) 500 KV, High Voltage Direct current (HVDC) bipole line from Talcher to Kolar; Longest HVDC link in Asia (more than 1400 Km.) • About 750 Circuit Kms. of Alternating Current (AC) transmission lines for dispersal of power beyond Kolar • Transmission Project Cost & Commissioning ApprovedActual Project Cost 3865 Crore 3100 Crore Commissioning 42 months 33 months Schedule
Unique Features of the Project • Vast Transmission System • Total steel used : 90,000 MT • Total conductor used : 16,000 Kms. • State of the Art HVDC terminals for conversion from AC to DC • Software based controls, protection and Man-Machine Interface System • Design and execution very challenging due to various rivers crossing enroute (Mahanadi, Vamsadhara, Godavari, Krishna and Pennar)
Important Features • Project conceived with Debt : equity ratio of 80:20 Rs. In Crore A. Equity 772 B. Debt 3093 TOTAL (A + B) 3865 • World Bank loan was considered for AC portion only as per available resources • Supplier’s Credit considered for HVDC portion
Pre-Execution Activities (Govt. Approval, Funds tie-up, Tendering & award)
Overview • Investment approval took 33 months; • Feasibility Report submitted in July 1997 • Investment approval obtained in January 2000 • Less time left for execution • To minimize project implementation cycle, pre-execution activities undertaken in parallel with investment approval • WorldBank loan tied up in April’ 98 for AC portion • Bids were invited and processed based on World Bank funding. Bidders entitled to Deemed Export Benefits under WB funding
Overview • Funds tie up with World Bank held up due to economic sanctions • Funding constraint had the potential to delay the project. • Innovative approach to proceed with procurement process was adopted: • by seeking special dispensation in Dec.’98 from Govt. of India for availing Deemed Export Benefits • seeking approval of World Bank for retroactive funding
Surmounting Challenges • In July 1999, GoI granted a special dispensation after persistent follow up • Clearance was obtained from WB for retroactive financing at a later date and meanwhile, Rs. 675 Crore also raised through domestic sources in lieu of World Bank Loan • Rs 1,000 Crore of Suppliers credit raised for HVDC portion without sovereign guarantee or any back up guarantee mainly on POWERGRID’s own financial strength
Challenges • Execution time of the project got reduced from 48 months to 42 months to match with generation • Time Schedule was tight considering the size of the project • Mid-way during the execution, NTPC advanced the commissioning of its first 500 MW unit putting tremendous pressure on POWERGRID • Acute Right of WayProblems considering the spread over a vast expanse of about 2000 km • Difficult Terrain and Varied Soil Conditions • Challenging Law and Order Situation • Need to evacuate surplus power from ER to energy deficit SR.
Surmounting Challenges • Extra-Ordinary Measures Undertaken for timely execution of project • Unique Project Definition Manual developed • Standardized foundations and tower designs : saved 12-18 months • Standardized bidding document and Systems & Procedures • Contracts awarded within months from the date of project approval by GoI Inspite of all the constraints right from the inception of the project, POWERGRID completed the project 9 months ahead of schedule and at a cost lesser by Rs. 700 cr.
Benefits • Project commenced operation before generation project and surplus power of about 1500 MUs alone could be transferred prior to generation project • Total of about 12,000 MUs transferred from ER to SR from September, 2002 to September, 2004. • About 5000 MUs of surplus power • Balance 7000 MUS from Talcher II Project • Significant improvement in grid performance in SR • Grid frequency improved from 48.0-48.5 Hz to 49.5-50.5 Hz • Substantial improvement in voltage level (typically Bangalore) • Loss Reduction in SR ; Benefit Rs 290 Crore • Saving of Rs. 1500 Crore to SR on account of availing surplus power, thus postponing immediate investment • ER benefited on account of reduction in fixed charges of generation
