GENERATION LOAD: 870 MW 730 MVAR ~ Problem A ) GENERATORS: a) High MVAR drawl b) High excitation current B) ICT: a) Overloading due to MVAR b) Low voltage on 220 kV bus ( 200 kV)
Problem C) LOAD: 11 kV side: a) Overload tripping b) Very low voltages c) Conductor snapping d) Local load shedding 440 V side: a) Failure of transformers b) Conductor snapping
Analysis • High seasonal load especially agriculture • during October to March • B) Failure of reactive compensation
Analysis • Identification of areas • a) Beed district • b) Solapur district • c) Nanded district • d) Pabhani district • e) Latur district

Action I) Reactive power compensation available : i. Substation ----- 164 MVAR ii. Switched capacitors on 11kV – 240 MVAR (0.6 X405) II) Focus Area – 11 kV , 0.6 MVAR capacitors a. Repairs in a central laboratory b. On site replacement, checking, modification, training
Modifications adopted for optimum compensation • 1. Cell rating 0.66 Mvar at 12 kV • 2. De-rating at Low Voltage • 3. Modification • A. Fixed capacitors • B. Addition to basic scheme
Action • 4. On site demonstrations • 5. Team visit – Nasik , Pune (R ), Kolhapur, Sangli,Parbhani
Observations: • 1. Reduction in overload tripping of 11 kV & 33 kV feeders. • 2. Reduction in blowing of HG fuses at 33/11 kV transformers. • 3. Reduction in conductor snapping. • 4. Improvement in voltage profiles • LT 105 Volts to 190 volts • 11kV 7.6 kV to 9.8 kV
