From the Chairperson

Intheyear2007-08,manysignificantmilestoneshavebeenachieved,thus marking a good beginning for the 11th Plan. A capacity addition target of 78,700 MW was set for the 11th Plan to meet the gap between demand and supply of electricity and the expected growth of economy, as well as the creation of a National Grid by 2012. The Implementation Strategy formulated for the 11th Plan to provide Key Inputs for accelerated development of Power Sector is noteworthy in terms of its multi-pronged approach to ensure timely availability of all clearances, fuel linkages for the projects, availability of equipment and material as well as trained manpower. With a stringent

monitoring mechanism in place, this Plan is expected to witness a mammoth capacity addition and the creation of an All India Grid

Major achievements during the year 2007-08 have been as follows:

(i) Notification of theNational Electricity Planwhich serves as the roadmap for the overalldevelopment of the Power Sector.

(2) Convening an International Conclave to sensitize the stakeholders about the requirement of Key Inputs for 11th Plan, as well as to address constraints in the development of the Power Sector. Followupactionwastakenregardingdevelopmentofnewvendors,reviewofprequalificationrequirements for suppliers of critical equipments to encourage entrepreneurs, timely placement of orders for main plant and balance of plant.

(3) Integration of the Northern, Western, Eastern and North- Eastern Grid.

(4) Government’s Initiative for development of UMPPs was taken forward. Technical inputs were provided by CEA in the bidding process and award of Sasan, Mundra and Krishnapatnam projects to the developers.

(5) Action was initiated on development of 78 schemes totaling to 34,020 MW as a follow up of 50,000 MW Hydro-electric Initiative of the Government.

(6) Under the IGEN Programme jointly being implemented by CEA and M/s GTZ, mapping of thermal power stations was initiated and mapping of 33 stations was completed.

(7) CEA published important documents such as “General Review 2008”, “Growth of Electricity Sector In India” and “CO2 baseline database for the Indian Power Sector in India”.

2.4 ElectricityDemand

a) Under existing system, electricity demand of the country is projected periodically, normally once in five years, for short and long time frames.

The demand forecasting is done by a National level Committee of Experts constituted by CEA with consent of the Ministry of Power, by conducting an exhaustive Electric Power Survey of India. The demand forecast is basic input for formulation of National Electricity Policy, Developmental Plans and Programmes and Schemes concerning generation, transmission, trading, distribution and utilization of electricity. The demand forecast qualifies the need for development of various areas of electricity consumption to orient the growth of the specified sectors of development and leads to planned growth in various categories of electricity consumption. Electric load forecast also drives the development of transmission highways and optimum transmission network for carrying electricity from generation centre to load centre. Inter-regional transmission links for electricity transmission from surplus region to deficit region is an important input for planning and development of such links. The load projections also facilitate planning of electricity transfer MoU and trading of electricity for the mutual benefits of surplus/deficit regions/States

The latest forecast of electricity demand has been made by the 17th Electric Power Survey (EPS) Committee and published in March, 2007

(b) Analysis of Load Growth

The 17th EPS was prepared in consultation with utilities with various assumptions, in order to keep a watch on the load growth vis-à-vis demand forecast of various States regular analysis of energy demand and the peak demand is being carried out. The All India energy demand is very much in line with the 17th EPS forecast i.e. demand being 737 BU against the projected forecast of 744 BU. The energy demand of most of the Regions / States is deviated from projections in closed band of 0-5%. The peak demand of few of the States

“Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.”

had exceed the 17th EPS projections during a particular month within a range of (0-5%) and for few other States, it was lower than the EPS projections by in the range of 0-10%. The peak demand projections on All India basis were about 4% more than the actual demand. During the analysis of the demand, it is noted that there are spurts in the peak demand by 15-30% where as the corresponding energy demand during the same month had grown by 8-10% only. The irregular increase in peak demand without corresponding energy growth needs to be addressed through load management, Demand Side Management and T&D loss reduction programme accordingly many States have been advised to develop the load growth and infrastructure to provide power for all.

2.14FuelManagementandAnalysis

2.14.1StandingLinkageCommittee(Short-Term)

Commitment to supply coal to new power projects is granted by Ministry of Coal based on the recommendations of the Standing Linkage Committee (Long Term) on the basis of normative parameters. After commissioning of the project, long term linkages are transformed into short term linkages based on actual requirements. Allocation on quarterly basis are made by the Standing Linkage Committee (Short term) [SLC (ST)], headed by an Additional Secretary in the Ministry of Coal, having representatives from the Ministry of Power, Ministry of Railways, Coal India Ltd. and CEA. For each quarter, the demand for allocation of coal was discussed with the respective power utilities in Pre-SLC (ST) meetings convened by CEA under the Chairmanship of Member (Planning), CEA, to assess the realistic coal requirement of individual power stations in the country, along with the proposed linked sources and was recommended to Ministry of coal for consideration in the SLC (ST) meetings. The assessment for coal requirement was made on the basis of generation targets for the period under consideration, current PLF, PLF for the same quarter during previous year, station-wise actual Specific Coal Consumption, maintenance schedule of units and new units expected to be

commissioned. The norms of coal stock building vis-à-vis willingness of the SEB’s/ Utilities to maintain coal stock were also considered. While allocating the coal source-wise, rough estimates were carried out to assess the percentage of ash component for 35 Thermal Power Stations covered under MoE&F Notification to ensure that the annualized average content of ash in the coal supplied was less than 34%. Quantities of the imported coal assessed to be utilized by different thermal power stations during the quarter were also considered while recommending their coal requirement.

2.14.2MonitoringofCoalSupplytoPowerStations

The coal supply to 77 utility thermal power stations of the country (16 pit-head and 61 rail/road fed, having total installed capacity of 68449.5 MW) and their coal stocks was vigorously monitored in CEA on daily basis, based on the quarterly allocation made by SLC(ST).

Coal stocking norms for power stations were fixed by a Committee headed by Secretary, Planning Commission as 15 days for pit head and non-pit head varying from 20 days to 30 days depending on the distance of the power plant from the pit-head as per details given below:

l Pit-head Station 15 days

l Upto 500 Kms. away from Coal mine 20 days

l Upto 1000 Kms. away from Coal mine 25 days

l Beyond 1000 Kms. away from Coal mine 30 days

All India coal stock required at the 77 coal based power stations monitored by CEA based on norms given above is of the order of 22 Million Tonnes. However, under cash and carry scheme for supply and transportation of coal, as also due to inadequate stocking space, some of the

power stations/utilities were not able to keep high inventory, in view of liquidity problem.

The stations having coal stock for less than 7 days are classified as ‘Critical’ and those having coal stock for less than 4 days are classified as ‘Super Critical’. Efforts are made at all levels in CEA, Min. of Power, Min. of Coal, Coal Companies and Railways to bring such stations out of criticality.

The monitoring involved collection of information on day-to-day basis from various TPSs/ Utilities, preparation of daily coal stock report, overseeing of movement of coal as per linkage and intervening whenever deviation occured, collection of the information regarding quantity and quality of coal supplied to power stations etc.

The Infrastructure Constraints Review Committee, headed by Secretary (Co-ordination) in the Cabinet Secretariat, reviews the coal production and supply to thermal power stations in the country almost every month.

A Sub-group of the Infrastructure Constraints Review Committee headed by an Additional Secretary in the Ministry of Coal, consisting of the representatives from the MoP, CEA, Ministry of Railways and Coal India Ltd., every week reviewed and resolved the problems of coal supply to thermal power stations having coal stocks below 7 days requirement.

For the coal based generation target of 463.458 BUs of the country for the year 2007-08, requirement of coal was estimated as 340 Million Tonnes (MT), including 8 MT required to bring the All India coal stock at power stations from 14 MT to a normative level and to meet transit losses. In the beginning of the year,

“The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is the knowledge of our own ignorance.”

Ministry of Coal/Coal India Limited had given an indication that they would make available 285 Million Tonnes coal from CIL during the year 2007-08. At the levels of supplies of coal during 2006-07, 28 MT was expected from SCCL and 9 MT from captive mines (Bengal Emta, ICML and Panem). Thus, a total of 322 MT coal was expected from indigenous sources. To meet the estimated requirement of 340 MT of utility power stations, an import of 12 MT (equivalent to 18 MT gap of indigenous coal) was planned, which was subsequently revised to 14 MT in the month of November 2007 in view of a very large number of power stations with critical coal stock and depletion of all India coal stock to an alarmingly low level.

2.14.4ContingencyPlanforSupercriticalandcriticalthermalpowerplants

Due to heavy monsoon in the coal mining area followed by law and orders problems, production of coal and hence its supply to power stations was badly affected. All India coal stock at power stations got depleted to an alarmingly

low level of 8.67 MT against a normative requirement of 22 MT and number of ‘critical’ power stations went up to 29. To ensure that generation of power at the power stations is not affected adversely because of shortage of coal, a contingency plan was drawn jointly by Ministry of Coal, CIL, Railways, CEA and Ministry of Power. The contingency plan was implemented for a month w.e.f. 21st November 2007. During the period against a target of supply of total of 2157 rakes of coal to the ‘critical’ power stations, supply was only 1899 rakes resulting in only a marginal improvement in coal supply position. However, due to vigorous monitoring at all levels and all out efforts made by all concerned agencies, it was ensured that the generation of power was not affected due to shortage of coal and no power station reported any loss of generation on this account.

“Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.”

2.14.8CoalQualityIssues

It was observed that uncrushed/oversized coal was still received by some of the thermal power stations in the country causing bottleneck in unloading. CEA had been sending statements giving details of the complaints about coal quality, received from power stations to Ministry of Coal and Coal India Ltd. every month. Thermal power stations reported supply of leftover poor quality coal mixed with over burden, stones and boulders. Because of poor quality coal, overall Specific Coal Consumption of the power stations in the country increased from earlier 0.715 kg/ kWhr to 0.731 kg/ kWhr during the year 2007-08. This resulted in increase in the cost of fuel, transportation and O&M, as also overloading and breakdown of the coal handling plant and equipments and increase in unloading time of rail rakes at the power stations.

* The import target of NTPC was enhanced by 2.0 MT from 3.63MT to 5.63MT in the month of Nov. 2007 on insistence of MoC & Secretary (Co-ordination), Cabinet Sectt.

On the direction of Secretary (Coordination), Cabinet Sectt., a visit was made by a team of officers from CEA, MoC & CIL to Santaldih TPS of WBPDCL, Gandhinagar TPS of GSECL, Torrent Power, Chandrapur, Koradi and Khaparkheda TPSs of MAHAGENCO to look into the reasons of excessive coal consumption. A detailed analysis of the coal supplied to all the power stations, which reported excessive coal consumption, was carried out. It was found that the excessive consumption of coal was mainly on account of the following reasons:-

(i) There was lot of accumulated old stock at the mines, mainly at Rajmahal (ECL) and MCL (Ib), during the year 2006-07, as there was surplus production during the year. With the passage of time the heating value of the coal went down due to smouldering at the mine head. Obviously, when the same old coal having low heating value was supplied to the

Page 43: Annual Report 07 08

Central electricity authority Annual Report 2007-08

34 “The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.”

power stations during the year 2007-08, they had to consume more coal.

(ii) Because of the low stock at the power station end, the power stations had to use coal scratched from the bed. This coal contained lots of mud. This has resulted in consumption of more coal.

(iii) The quality of coal supplied during the year 2007-08 was very poor. The coal contained lot of mud, stones, boulders and other extraneous materials.

(iv) Calorific Value of coal from MCL (Ib) is very low (<3000kcal/kg). During the year 2007-08 this was the only mine where excess coal was available. This excess coal was supplied to most of the power stations reporting low coal stock. This resulted in high coal consumption.

(v) Poor quality coal supplied to power stations resulting in its higher consumption.

(vi) Supply of lesser quantity of deshaled/ washed coal to some power stations during 2007-08 resulted in higher coal consumption.

2.14.9Monitoringofashcontents incoalsuppliedtoMoEFStations

As per MoEF Notification dated 19th September 1997, with effect from 1st June 2001, any thermal power plant located beyond 1000 kms from the pit-head and any thermal power plant located in urban area or sensitive area or critically polluted area, irrespective of their distance from pit-head except any pit head power plant are required to use coal having annual weighted average ash contents of less than 34%. There are 35 such identified coal based Thermal Power Stations in the country. The weighted average ash content of the coal supplied to these power stations was regularly monitored by CEA on quarterly basis. These stations were given quarterly linkage of raw coal and in some

cases washed coal, from various sources by the Standing Linkage Committee (Short-term) taking into consideration the matrix of source of supply which had been prepared to ensure an annual weighted average ash content of less than 34% ash in the coal used by each Thermal Power Station. As availability of washed/beneficiated coal was inadequate to meet the requirement of all the 35 Thermal Power Stations, raw coal of appropriate grade was linked for blending.

CEA impressed on CIL every quarter to ensure despatch of coal from different sources in such proportion that the annual weighted average ash content of the coal supplied to these Thermal Power Stations would be within the stipulated limit.

2.14.10RationalizationofLinkages

A Task Force under the Chairmanship of Director (OM), MoP, with representatives from CEA, Ministry of Railways, CIL and SCCL was constituted by the Ministry of Coal to recommend rationalisation of coal linkage to various existing power stations from the coal mines keeping the following criteria in consideration:

l Actual materialisation from the existing sources;

l Need to have various sources of supply in view of meeting the contingencies arising out of extraneous factors like breaches, bandhs, strikes, etc.

l Distance between the supply sources and the thermal power stations.

l Requirement of coal for Dadri Expansion (980 MW) being implemented for Commonwealth Games, 2010 in view of its importance and discussions at various forums.

l The committee submitted its report to Ministry of Coal on 31st March 2008 for its consideration.

2.14.12Gas supply toGas basedPowerStations

Out of total 1,43.061.01 MW installed generating capacity in the country as on 31st March 2008, 14,656.21 MW (about 10.24 %) was gas/liquid (excluding diesel) fuel based. CEA monitored the supply of gas to power stations of total 13,408.92 MW capacities which use gas as the primary fuel. This included 24 MW Namrup gas fired steam turbine. The liquid fuels, being freely available, were not monitored by CEA.

2.14.13GasRequirement&SupplyPosition

The production and supply of gas had not been keeping pace with the growing demand of gas in the country, including for that of power sector. Even the commitments of gas allocations made earlier to power stations were not fulfilled. Supply of gas to gas based power plants during last few years had been as under:

It may be seen from above that the gas supply for gas based power stations is inadequate. It was enough to operate these stations at about 52 % PLF only during 2006-07. Similarly the average gas supply during 2007-08 was 38.14 MMSCMD, against the requirement of

65.67SCMD to operate the stations at 90% PLF, which was sufficient to operate these stations at about 52% PLF.

2.14.16 Monitoring of Captive CoalMines

To meet the growing power demand in the country it is envisaged to add a Capacity of 78700 MW during the 11th Five Year Plan. Due to limited amount of gas availability and limitations in Hydro and nuclear power generation augmentation, bulk of this Capacity Addition is being planned through coal based thermal power projects only.

During last few years with growing thermal power generation, coal supply is proving to be a major cause of concern. With such a massive coal based capacity addition planned, there were apprehensions that coal

companies may not be able to cater to the enhanced coal requirement.

In view of the above facts GoI decided to allocate captive mines to the bulk users of coal and consequently many power utilities have been allocated captive mines.

The list of all the Captive Coal Mines allocated to Power utilities till date is enclosed atAnnexure-2B.

The status of development of mines is regularly submitted by the developers and based on the latest data received by CEA pertaining to Utilities and IPPs on development progress of coal mine blocks, a quarterly report on broad status of captive mines is generated.

3.1 TransmissionPlanning

All issues relating to planning and development of Transmission System in the country are dealt in the Power System Wing of CEA. This includes evolving long term and short term transmission plans. The network expansion plans are optimized based on network simulation studies and techno economic analysis. This also involves formulation of specific schemes, evolving a phased implementation plan in consultation with the Central and State transmission utilities and assistance in the process of investment approval for the Central Sector schemes, issues pertaining to development of National Power Grid in the country and issues relating to trans-country power transfer. Transmission planning studies are being conducted to identify evacuation system from generation projects and to strengthen the transmission system in various regions. The studies for long-term perspective plans are also being carried out on All-India basis for establishing inter-regional connectivity aimed towards formation of the National Power Grid system. The National Power Grid system is being evolved to facilitate free flow of power across regional boundaries, to meet the shortfall of deficit regions from a surplus region, for evacuation of power from project(s) located in one region to the beneficiaries located in other region(s) as well as facilitate trading of electricity among buyers and sellers in various regions.

3.2 NationalElectricityPlan-Transmission

As per Section 3 of the Electricity Act 2003, the CEA has been entrusted with the responsibility of preparing the National Electricity Plan in accordance with the National Electricity Policy and notify such plans once in five years. The Act provides that the draft of National Electricity

CHAPTER – 3POWER SYSTEMS PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT

Plan should be published inviting suggestions and objections from various stake holders and the CEA has to obtain approval of the Central Government before notifying the National Electricity Plan. The following process has since been completed:

1. Central Government has notified the National Electricity Policy.

2. Central Electricity Authority prepared a ‘Draft National Electricity Plan – Generation’, covering Generation Program up to end of 11th plan i.e. 2011-12 and invited suggestions and objections from the stakeholders.

3. Central Electricity Authority prepared a ‘Draft National Electricity Plan – Transmission’, covering Transmission Program up to end of 11th plan i.e. 2011-12 and invited suggestions and objections from the stakeholders.

4. Comments on the ‘Draft National Electricity Plan – Transmission’ were received from various utilities and stakeholders. The Draft Plan was also discussed in regional meetings of all the five Regions.

5. CEA prepared an updated National Electricity Plan consisting of Volume-I on ‘Generation’ and Volume-II on ‘Transmission’. The National Electricity Plan as approved by Government of India has been notified in August 2007.

The National Electricity Plan (the Plan) gives details about development of Transmission System in the country up to 11th plan period. Major highlights of the Plan are:

The existing highest level of AC transmission in India would be raised from 400kV to 765kV with construction and operation of 765kV transmission system. The programme is to have about 5200 circuit km of 765kV

Page 49: Annual Report 07 08

Central electricity authority Annual Report 2007-08

40 “A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs-jolted by every pebble in the road.”

transmission lines and 24500 MVA of 765kV transformation capacity by 2011-12.

A ± 800kV Bipole multi terminal HVDC has been planned. This would have a capacity for 6000 MW of which 3000 MW would be utilized for power evacuation from Biswanath Chariyali where power from Hydro projects in NER would be pooled and 3000 MW for power evacuation from Siliguri, where power from Sikkim and Bhutan would be pooled. The power evacuated from NER/ Sikkim/Bhutan would be brought to Agra from where it would be injected in NR and WR grids. This would be the highest HVDC voltage under commercial operation in the world. Total length of HVDC Bipoles would be about 11000 km by 2011-12.

The Plan describes Growth Objectives, Development Process, Planning Philosophy and Criteria for speedy and smooth development of transmission system at State, Regional and National level with a view to optimize energy resources.

The Plan emphasizes need for a National Grid for India and provides detailed programme for its development. It is planned that, by end of 11th plan all the five regions in India would by synchronously connected. The Plan also envisages increasing total inter-regional transmission capacity from 14100 MW as at the end of 10th Plan to 36900 MW by end of 11th Plan period.

3.3 InterregionaltransmissionsysteminIndia–NationalPowerSystem

As prelude to the formation of national power system, regional power systems have been formed and as on today, strong regional grids exist in all the five regions. The process of integration of the regional power systems into one All-India Power System has also started. The Eastern, North-Eastern, Western and Northern

regions have been synchronously integrated and inter-regional transmission capacity of 1240 MW between ER and NER, 1760 MW between the ER and WR, and 4220 MW between ER and NR is operational in this integrated cluster of regions. Towards the Southern region, inter-regional transmission capacity of 3120 MW between ER-SR (Talcher-Kolar HVDC Bipole 2500 MW, Gazuwaka HVDC back-to-back 1000 MW and radial mode line 120 MW) and 1680 MW between WR-SR (Chandrapur back to back 1000 MW and radial mode Lines 700 MW) exists. With this the connectivity of Southern Region to the National Grid is already established in asynchronous mode. Further enhancement of Southern Region interconnectivity to National Grid power system is also being planned. The present total inter-regional transmission capacity is 16200 MW, which is now planned to be increased to 36900 MW by 2011-12.

Details of existing and planned inter-regional transmission capacity up to end of 11th Plan are shown in Annexure-3A.

at an altitude of around 8000 ft., where heavy snow fall occurs in winter season. For designing transmission line in snow bound hilly area, data regarding thickness of ice accumulation on conductor, wind velocity, etc., are required. For this purpose, two anemometers have already been installed at such locations. These anemometers are storing data of actual wind velocity in the vicinity. The data of ice loading with corresponding wind velocity data is expected to be conveyed by HPSEB associated Engineers by Dec. 2008 i.e during coming winter and then based on this data the ultimate design of EHV Transmission Lines for snow bound hilly areas would be carried out.

ii) Residuallifeassessmentofsubstationequipment

Construction of any transmission system requires a huge amount of investment and the cost of EHV Substation equipment contributes a major portion of cost of the transmission system. As the transmission lines and substations are growing older, there is a need of proper condition monitoring of substation equipment to assess the residual life of various types of substation equipment and ensure proper maintenance of the equipment. A pilot project on “Residual Life Assessment of Substation Equipment” has been taken up with the MSEB.

Following diagnostic tools have been procured and installed in 220/33 kV Mudsighi- 400/220 kV Kolhapur-II Substation of MSEB at Kolhapur;

i) Digital Earth Tester

ii) Transformer Winding Resistance Meter

iii) Contact Resistance Meter

iv) Automatic relay test kit (3 phase)

v) Circuit Breaker Operation Analyzer

vi) Leakage current monitor for lightning arrester

vii) Automatic Capacitance & Tan Delta Measuring Equipment.

In addition to above, the following equipment have been deployed at Ranasan 220 kV Substation of GETCO at Ahmedabad .

a) On line Dissolved Gas Analyzer*b) Frequency Response Analyzer for

Transformers.c) Partial Discharge Measuring Equipment for

Transformer

*Online Dissolved Gas Analyser is being installed at 220 kV Ranasan Substation of GETCO.

3.5.4TangibleBenefits

With the use of Diagnostic tools deployed by CEA, MSETCL could save number of power transformers, Lightning Arrestors and Circuit Breakers.

The equipment deployed at GETCO are being utilized very effectively. The main purpose of above tools is to bring awareness in the Power Utilities for carrying out condition based monitoring of the substation equipment. MSETCL& GETCO have purchased number of similar condition monitoring equipment tools and deployed them at their various substations for condition monitoring of substation equipment so that necessary R&M activities are carried out well before the failure of the equipment.

4.1 Organizational Structure in GridOperationandManagement

All decisions with respect to grid operation in the Region are taken by the Regional Power Committee (RPC). The Regional Power Committee in each Region is a conglomerate of all the players partaking in grid operation, i.e. generating companies, transmission utilities, distribution utilities, power traders, etc. Its Secretariat is manned by the officers from Central Electricity Authority (CEA). Regional Power Committee operates through a number of Sub-committees, viz. Operation Sub-committee, Commercial Sub-committee, Protection Sub-committee, System Studies Sub-committee and Technical Coordination Sub-committee. The Operation Sub-committee, meets every month to review the grid operation in the previous month and plan grid operation for the next month. The Commercial Sub-committee carries out the energy accounting in the Region on a monthly basis and also the weekly billing for Unscheduled Interchanges and Reactive Energy. The Protection Sub-committee discusses and finalises protection schemes including protection coordination. The System Studies Sub-committee meets periodically for the purpose of System Studies. The Technical Coordination Sub-committee meets before the Regional Power Committee for putting up matters for decision in the Regional Power Committee. The RPCs play an important role in planning grid operation, since they are responsible for protection coordination, outage planning of generating units and transmission system, planning reactive compensation etc. Member (GO&D) of CEA is also a Member of the Regional Power Committee and helps arrive at amicable solutions in case of disputes between Members of the Committees through unbiased decisions

CHAPTER – 4GRID MANAGEMENT

CEA monitors the power supply position in the country, prepares the all-India monthly power supply position, coordinates all matters of grid operation and management between the five Regions, coordinates enquiry of grid disturbances, recommends to the Ministry of Power the quantum of allocation from the unallocated quota and also coordinates the implementation of the allocation through the Regional Power Committees, Regulations on matters pertaining to grid operation etc. The real time operation of the power system is looked after by the Regional Load Despatch Centres (RLDCs) set up in the five Regions. Regulations for inter-State transmission of electricity are made by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission.

4.2 Power Supply Position

CEA takes out the All India Power Supply Position on a monthly basis, both in terms of energy and peak demand giving the requirement, availability and shortage in Million Units (MUs) as well as in percentage and the peak demand, peak met and peak shortage both in terms of Mega Watt (MW) and percentage. The total energy requirement in the country during 2007-2008 was 739,345 MUs as against 690,587 MUs during the previous year, registering an increase of 7.1%. The total energy availability in the country during 2007-2008 was 666,007 MUs as against 624,495 MUs during the previous year, registering an increase of 6.65%. The energy shortage during the year 2007-2008 therefore increased from 66,092 MU (9.60%) to 73,338 MUs (9.9%). The peak demand during the year 2007-2008 was 108,866 Mega Watt (MW) as against 100,715 MW during the previous year, registering an increase of 8.1%. The peak demand met during the year 2007-2008 was 90,793 MW as against

The total inter-Regional transmission capacity as on 31.3.2008 is 16200 MW. The power transfer capacity as on 31.3.2008 was 5820 MW between Eastern Region and Northern Region, 1760 MW between Eastern Region and Western Region, 3620 MW between Eastern Region and Southern Region, 1240 MW between Eastern Region and North Eastern Region, 2080 MW between Western Region and Northern Region and 1680 MW between Western Region and Southern Region. Synchronous operation of the Northern, Western, Eastern and North-Eastern Regional Grids and its asynchronous operation with the Southern Grids with high capacity HVDC links helped in utilization of surplus power available in surplus areas to the deficit areas.

The Eastern Regional Power System which used to have off-peak surplus through out the year earlier, had surplus power only at certain times of the year. All Regional grids experienced shortages of varying degrees as well as certain seasonal/ off-peak surpluses. These surpluses were exported by surplus States of all the Regions. Eastern, North-Eastern and Southern Regions were net exporters, whereas Northern and Western Regions were net importers of energy during the year. Himachal Pradesh in Northern Region, Sikkim, Orissa, West Bengal and DVC in Eastern Region, all states in North Eastern Region except Manipur, (i.e. Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram,

Nagaland and Tripura) and Karnataka and Kerala in Southern Region were net exporters of energy during the year.

Govt. of India has set up Central Generating Stations through GoI Undertakings, viz. National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), National Hydro Power Corporation (NHPC), Nuclear Power Corporation (NPC), Tehri Hydro Development Corpn. (THDC), Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd. (SJVNL), North-Eastern Electric Power Corpn. Ltd. (NEEPCO), in which the States have various shares. About 85% of the installed capacity is distributed as firm shares, whereas about 15% is the unallocated quota, which is allocated by GoI to the States depending upon relative shortages and contingent conditions. CEA keeps a close watch on the power supply position and recommends to the Ministry of Power the quantum of allocation from the unallocated quota. CEA also coordinates the implementation of the allocations through the Regional Power Committees.

Open Access is a key provision in the Electricity Act, 2003 for utilisation of power in surplus areas by needy states/utilities in deficit areas, besides bringing about competition and hence efficiency. All the above transactions took place through the provision of short-term open access. The growth of inter-state short-term Open Access transactions for the last four years, in terms of number of transactions and volume of transactions, is shown in Exhibit-III. The inter-regional energy exchanges, which included the long-term and short-term open access transactions, was 20061 MU during the year 2007-2008, as compared to 17853 MU during the previous year, showing a growth of 12.4%. An overview of inter-regional energy exchanges during 2007-2008 is presented in Exhibit–IV. Details of inter-regional exchanges of energy among the Regions during 2007-2008 and 2006-2007 are given in Table–I. The inter-regional exchanges helped a number of States / utilities in all the Regions to bridge the gap between demand and supply of power.

The power transfer from North-Eastern Region to Eastern Region is taking place over 400 kV Bongaigaon – Malda D/C lines and 220 kV Birpara – Salakati D/C lines.

4.5 MonitoringofCapacitorInstallationProgramme

In order to obtain a proper voltage profile in the regional Grids, the shunt capacitor requirement at regional level is assessed by respective Regional Power Committees (RPCs). The capacitor installation programme for the year is finalised in consultation with the constituents of the Region. The actual installation of shunt capacitors during the year 2007-2008 was 800 MVAR, 516 MVAR and 184 MVAR in Northern, Western and Southern Regions respectively leaving a shortfall of 3422 MVAR as per the details given at Annexure –4B. The progress of capacitor installation in the country has been slow. The matter is being followed up by CEA and RPCs. Capacitors were not required to be installed in the Eastern and North-Eastern Regions, as there was no problem of low voltage in these regions.

4.6 PowerExchange

The National Electricity Policy in sub-para (d) of Para 5.7.1 enjoins upon the appropriate Commission to undertake development of power market in consultation with all concerned. In this direction, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) published a Staff Paper

titled “Developing a common platform for electricity trading” in July 2006 to deliberate on the issues and problem areas connected with the development of power market in India and invited comments / suggestions on the viability, structure, management and operational arrangement of Power Exchange (PX), which provides a common platform for electricity trading to the power sector players. CERC also conducted a public hearing in the matter on 19th December 2006.

Based on the comments / suggestions received, the Commission issued an order dated 18th January 2007, stating that setting up of a Power Exchange at the earliest would be desirable step in the direction of transparent market development in power sector. CERC also issued detailed guidelines vide order dated 6th February 2007 for establishment and operation of the Power Exchange.

During the year 2007-08, CERC accorded approval to one firm, M/s Indian Energy Exchange Limited, vide order dated 31st August 2007 to set up a Power Exchange (PX). According to the order, the PX shall start as a platform for scheduled, day-ahead trading of electricity. All settled trades shall be compulsorily advised to the concerned RLDC for being scheduled, subject to transmission capacity availability.

In order to accommodate collective transactions emanating from power exchange as well as conventional bilateral trading, the Commission has revised the Open Access Regulations and notified CERC (Open Access in Inter-state Transmission) Regulations, 2008 on 25th January 2008. These regulations would come into force w.e.f. 1st April 2008.

CHAPTER – 5HYDRO POWER DEVELOPMENT

5.1 Hydro Potential and its Development

The re-assessment studies of hydro-electric potential of the country, completed by Central Electricity Authority in 1987, have assessed the economically exploitable hydro power potential

as 84044 MW at 60 % load factor. A total of 845 hydro-electric schemes have been identified in the various basins. The hydro potential of 84044 MW at 60% load factor when fully developed would result in an installed capacity of about 1,50,000 MW on the basis of probable average load factor.

The basin-wise details of hydro electric potential development are indicated in the chart below. As on 31.03.2008, the hydro-electric schemes in operation account for only 20.57 % and those under execution for 4.93 % of the total potential at 60% LF. Thus, the bulk of the potential (74.50%) remains yet to be developed.

The re-assessment studies have also identified 56 sites for Pumped Storage Schemes

(PSS) with probable total installation of about 94,000 MW. At present 10 PSS (4559.60 MW) are under operation, 2 PSS (1250 MW) are under construction.

In addition, the study for the assessment of small hydro potential has been completed in June, 1996 by CEA. 1512 small hydro-electric schemes with aggregate installed capacity of about 6782 MW on canal falls/ rivers have been identified.

66 “It is always the best policy to tell the truth, unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar.”

5.2 50,000 MW Hydro-Electric initiative

Under the 50,000 MW Initiative, 162 hydro-electric projects spreading in 16 states for the purpose of preparation of Preliminary Feasibility Reports (PFRs) in the year 2003-04 were taken up by CEA as nodal agency with CPSUs/State agencies as Consultants. CEA’s role included overall coordination, facilitating collection of data, and quality control by vetting conceptual planning, assessment of power benefits and selection of project parameters, evacuation of power and monitoring of works. National Hydro-Electric Power Corporation, WAPCOS, North-eastern Electric Power Corporation, Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam and number of State Power Utilities were associated to complete these feasibility studies. The PFRs were completed in Sept., 2004 for all these projects with an installation of 47,930 MW.

As a follow up of preparation of PFRs, it has been decided to take up implementation/ preparation of DPRs for attractive schemes selected from PFR schemes thereby providing a shelf of projects for execution in the near future. Out of 162 schemes (47930 MW) for which PFRs have been prepared, at first instance, based on their preliminary techno-economic analysis, 78 schemes (34020 MW) whose first year tariff works out below Rs. 2.50/kWh have been considered as low tariff H.E. schemes and have been selected for taking up of detailed survey & investigation and preparation of DPR/implementation . The details of these schemes are enclosed at Annex-5(A). Out of these, action has been initiated for 77 schemes (33951MW) for S&I and preparation of DPR by CPSUs/SPSUs/SEBs/IPPs. Umjaut scheme (69 MW) in Meghalaya is not being considered due to coming up of Shillong water supply scheme at upstream.

Out of these, DPRs of 17 schemes (4060 MW) have already been prepared. DPRs for 23 schemes (13623 MW) are scheduled to be prepared during 2007-08 and 2008-09. The work

of preparation of DPRs of balance 37 schemes (19268 MW) is held up due to proposed change in Agency /Allotment by State Govt., MOEF Problem and local agitation. These projects are expected to yield benefits during 12th Plan and beyond.

5.3 Construction Monitoring of Hydro Projects

The monitoring mechanism has been strengthened for timely completion and to achieve capacity addition targets of the sanctioned and on-going power projects in the country (Central, State and Private Sectors), CEA has nominated a nodal officer for each project, both at the conception stage as well as during execution. The nodal officer keeps track of and facilitates resolution of problems which may delay the project by escalating the issues to appropriate levels for immediate resolution. Regular visits were made by the officers to the project sites for progress review and in this context, 56 no of visits were made in the year 2007-08. In addition to above visits, review meetings are organized regularly and quarterly review meetings are held in CEA to discuss criticality of each projects. Review meetings are held with project authorities for identifying bottlenecks and taking corrective measures. Meetings are also held with major equipment suppliers and other major contractors executing the major works of dam, head race tunnel, power house etc., for solving the major constraints delaying the execution of the projects at project site/their works. Efforts are being made to minimize contractual problems to avoid delays in project execution. Further, the expenditures incurred by the projects are being monitored to ensure that the physical progress commensurate with the financial progress.

5.4 Hydro capacity addition during 2007-08

Target hydro capacity addition for the year 2007-08 was 2751 MW and the capacity achieved

against this target was 2423 MW (about 88%) from 22 units of 5 projects with Central Sector contributing 1030 MW (2 projects, 11 units) , and State Sector contributing 1393 MW (3 projects, 11 units). The main slippages in capacity additions were Ghatghar PSS (250 MW), and Priyadarshani Jurala (78 MW) in State Sector. There were contractual problems between Power Machines, Russia & Power Machines, India and OHPC. CEA took up the matter with both the parties and helped in resolving some of the commercial issues so as to get both the units of Balimela Extn HE Project commissioned during the current year. Project-wise details are given at Annexure-5A.

5.4.1 Hydro capacity addition programme during 2008-09

A hydro capacity addition of 1097 MW (4 Projects, 11 Units) has been programmed in State Sector. There is no hydro capacity addition envisaged in Central & Private in the year 2008-09. Project-wise details are given at Annexure - 5B.

5.4.2 Survey & Investigation of Hydro Projects

In order to accelerate the pace of hydro development in the country, CEA provides assistance to various Central/State agencies in the matter of survey, investigation and preparation of DPRs of hydro projects. CEA has been monitoring the physical and financial progress of survey and investigation of all the hydro schemes. During the year, following works were handled in this regard:

l The progress of Survey & investigation works received from various SEB’s / Agencies was analysed and periodically updated.

l The proposal for Devasari Dam (300 MW) in Uttaranchal submitted by SJVNL was examined in CEA and recommended to MoP for approval.

70 “The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.”

Committee in 1987 to formulate strategy on R&M of hydro power projects. Based on the recommendations of the National Committee and subsequent reviews, a programme for renovation, modernization and uprating of Hydro Power Stations was formulated by Central Electricity Authority in which 55 schemes were identified with an aggregate capacity of 9653 MW. The total cost of these schemes was estimated as Rs.1493 crores with expected benefit of 2531 MW.

5.11.2 R&M Phase-II Programme

As per the hydro policy of Govt. of India, declared in 1998, Renovation & Modernization (R&M) of Hydro Power Plants were accorded priority. Accordingly, 67 hydro R&M schemes having an aggregate capacity of 10318 MW were identified to be undertaken under Phase-II programme till the end of 10th Plan to accrue a benefit of 3685 MW at an estimated cost of Rs. 2161 crores.

5.12 National Perspective Plan

The National Perspective Plan document for hydro power stations was formulated by CEA in the year 2000 incorporating R&M proposals under Phase-II programme above along with the left out schemes of National Committee i.e. Phase-I programme which were under implementation or were yet to be implemented. This Plan indicated the benefit of about 7755 MW during the 9th, 10th and 11th Plans through R&M of existing 117 schemes with an aggregate installed capacity of 19370 MW at an estimated cost of Rs.4654 crores.

5.12.1 8th, 9th & 10th Plan Achievements

Under the hydro R&M programme, 65 (15 in Central Sector and 50 in State Sector) hydro electric schemes (13 up to the 8th Plan, 20 in the

9th Plan & 32 in the 10th Plan) with an installed capacity of 10511 MW at a cost of Rs.1726 crores have been completed by the end of the 10th Plan (i.e by 31st March 2007) and have accrued a benefit of 2351 MW through Life Extension, Uprating and Restoration.

5.18.3 Reduction in Cost of Hydro Power Generation Projects

It has been observed that in most of the cases, the cost estimates indicated by the project proponents in their Detailed Project Report (DPR) are on the higher side due to various reasons. On receipt of the DPR, the same is thoroughly scrutinized by the various appraisal divisions of CEA, CWC & GSI before the proposal is considered by CEA for its concurrence. Review meetings are convened from time to time by Member (H), CEA, with the project developers and Chief Engineers of

Appraisal divisions of CEA, CWC and GSI in order to sort out the outstanding issues/ remove bottlenecks in the DPR with the objective of minimizing the time for appraisal process and optimising the proposed capital cost.

During the year 2007-08, four (4) hydro power projects aggregating to 3470 MW capacity were accorded concurrence and net reduction in the cost achieved for these projects works out to about Rs 1396.57 crore (about 7 %) both in soft as well as hard cost as detailed in Annexure-5D.

6.1 Selection of sites for Thermal Power Projects

In the context of the need to set up additional thermal power stations to meet the power requirements of the country up to the year 2012 AD and beyond, CEA has in September, 2001 constituted a committee under the Chairmanship of Member (Thermal) and consisting of members from different Ministries/ Deptts./ SEBs etc. for selection of sites for large coastal/pit head and other Thermal Power Stations. As the process of selection of sites is of continuous nature, the above mentioned Committee has been converted into a Standing Committee. Teams consisting of the members of the Committee from CEA, Planning Commission, MOE&F, CMPDI, Railways, etc. are being constituted for visiting from time to time the sites tentatively identified by the State agencies, Central Mine Planning & Design Institute (CMPDI) and National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA). These teams also interact with various States/ Central departments for assessing the availability of various inputs required for setting up of Thermal Power Plants like land, water, fuel etc. The Scheme has been approved for continuation in 11th Plan also by Planning Commission.

CHAPTER – 6 THERMAL POWER DEVELOPMENT

Based on the site visits of the Site Selection Committee and also reports obtained by CEA with assistance of CMPDI & NRSA through satellite mapping, a large shelf of potential sites has been created. Many sites from this shelf have been identified for benefits during the 11th Plan. The reports of CMPDI & NRSA have been forwarded to concerned State Govts/NTPC for development of the identified sites. The NRSA reports for coastal sites have also been given to the site selection committee of Nuclear Power Corporation, who are in the process of identifying coastal sites for new Nuclear Power Plants. CEA has awarded additional study to M/s CMPDI on 26th March 2007 for identification of coal based potential pithead sites using remote sensing techniques near 12 coal blocks located in South Karanpura, Wardha Valley, Ib Valley and Talcher coalfields. Draft Report of the study identifying 25 new pithead sites in the states of Jharkhand, Orissa & Chattisgarh has been submitted by CMPDI.

During the year 2007-08, following sites have been identified by the site selection teams for setting up Thermal Power Stations subject to certain constraints:-

6.2 Setting up of Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs)

The Ministry of Power, Govt. of India in association with Central Electricity Authority & Power Finance Corporation has launched an initiative for development of nine (9) coal based Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs) of about 4000 MW capacity each under tariff based international competitive bidding. To facilitate tie-ups of inputs and clearances, project specific Shell companies as wholly owned subsidiaries of the Power Finance Corporation Ltd. have been set up. These companies undertake initial development works like preparation of feasibility reports, tie up of necessary clearances including water, land, fuel, power selling etc. prior to award of the Project to the successful bidder and bidding process for the ultra mega power projects.

The ultra mega power projects are to be developed with a view to minimise cost of power to the consumers. Because of bigger capacity, the cost of the project would be lower due to economy of scale. The layout of the project would be compact and all the systems would be optimized to result in lower cost of power. Further, these projects would be environmental friendly as supercritical technology is proposed to be adopted to reduce emissions. A time bound action plan for preparation of project report, tie-up of various inputs/clearances, appointment of consultants, preparation of RFQ/RFP is being followed. Once the developer is selected, the ownership of the Shell Company is transferred to the successful bidder.

Out of nine (9) UMPPs identified by Ministry of Power/CEA four (4) UMPPs are proposed to be set up at pit head sites one each in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Orissa and Jharkhand and five (5) UMPPs are to be set up at coastal sites one each in Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. It is proposed to set up pithead projects as integrated

proposals with corresponding captive coal mines for which Ministry of Coal has already earmarked coal blocks. For the coastal projects, imported coal shall be used.

Three (3) UMPPs namely Sasan in M.P, Mundra in Gujarat and Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh have been awarded and transferred to the developers selected through tariff based competitive bidding namely Reliance Power Ltd. for Sasan UMPP and Krishnapatnam UMPP and Tata Power Company for Mundra UMPP. In respect of the fourth UMPP at Tilaiya in Jharkhand, the first stage bidding process (RFQ) for qualification of bidders has been carried out. The second stage bidding process (RFP) for obtaining final bids from the qualified bidders would be undertaken shortly.

Efforts are being made to expedite development of other five (5) UMPPs to be located in Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Maharshtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. These projects could be taken up for bidding as and when the sites are finalized by State Governments and feasibility studies are completed. The salient features of the proposed Nine UMPPs are given at Annexure-6A.

Joint Monitoring Committees (JMCs) have been set up for each project with Member (Thermal) as Chairman for monitoring the progress of the UMPPs and the Committees held meeting every month to speed up the process and provide the inputs to Govt. of India.

6.3 Standing Committee constituted for processing the proposals for IPPs/CPPs seeking coal blocks/linkage

In pursuance of the Ministry of Power’s direction regarding the procedure for processing the proposals for IPPs/ CPPs seeking coal blocks/ linkage, a Standing Committee under the Chairmanship of Member Thermal has been constituted by to examine such proposals.

6.7.1 Supercritical Technology

CEA has been actively associated in technology scanning, analysis about their suitability for our conditions and developing road map for introduction of new technologies for thermal power generation. The choice of a technology is governed by one or more of the following considerations:

(i) Higher energy conversion efficiency resulting in less fuel consumption and consequently low level of pollutant emission.

(ii) Reduced environmental degradation through use of pollution abatement technologies.

(iii) Higher plant availability.

(iv) Better overall economics.

The maturity and provenness of the technology, its availability at competitive cost and reliable support during project life are also given due consideration.

At present, the largest thermal unit size in operation is 500 MW and a few units of 600 MW under construction with sub-critical steam parameters. CEA has been facilitating adoption of higher size units with super-critical technology. Six (6) Nos. 660 MW units of NTPC with supercritical parameters are under construction. These units are designed with parameters of 247 Kg/Cm2, 537/5650C. Three (3) Nos. Ultra Mega Power Projects, each of 4000 MW which have been awarded, would also be deploying supercritical technology. Many more units of NTPC and State utilities slated for commissioning in 12th Plan are also planned to be of supercritical type. Many of these units would have higher parameters of 247 kg/cm2, 565/5930C.

It is considered prudent that with the introduction of 800-1000 MW supercritical units, simultaneous development of indigenous manufacturing capacity should also take place along with technology transfer so as to ensure availability of service and spares for the whole life of the plant. M/s BHEL have already signed technology collaboration agreement with

“The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is the knowledge of our own ignorance.”

M/s Alstom for super-critical boilers and with M/s Siemens for turbines upto 1000 MW size. Discussions were held with various inter-national manufacturers to sensitize them to the demand of supercritical units in India. As a result, M/s L&T have formed joint venture companies with M/s MHI, Japan to manufacture supercritical boilers and turbines in India. Thus, there are two indigenous manufacturers capable of supplying supercritical units. In order to facilitate the participation of new joint ventures, formed to set up indigenous manufacturing facilities, the qualification requirements were reviewed and recommendations sent to utilities.

6.8 Regulations for Technical Standards for construction of Thermal Power Plants

The Electricity Act, 2003 mandates CEA to specify technical standards for construction of electric plants and electric lines. Accordingly, these standards were prepared for thermal generating stations which included coal/lignite, gas and diesel based thermal generating stations. These standards forming part of Regulations for electric plants & electric lines were sent for pre-publication. The comments from the stake holders have been received and the regulations are under finalization.

6.9 Regulations for Safety Requirements for Construction and O&M of Electrical Plants and Electric Lines

6.15 Renovation & Modernisation of Thermal Power Stations

Renovation and Modernisation (R&M) and Life Extension (LE) of existing old power stations have been recognized as an effective option to achieve additional generation from existing units at low cost and short gestation period. Besides generation improvement, other benefits achieved from R&M include improvement in environmental emissions and improvement in availability, safety and reliability.

6.15.1 R&M (Phase-I) Programme

R&M programme was initiated in 1984 as a centrally sponsored programme for 34 nos. of thermal power stations covering 163 nos. of thermal units in the country. The programme was successfully completed in the year 1992.

6.15.2 R&M (Phase-II) Programme

The Phase-II R&M programme for 44 nos. of thermal power stations was taken up in the year 1990-91. Power Finance Corporation (PFC) was to provide loan assistance to the State Electricity Boards (SEBs) for the R&M works. However, this programme could not progress as per schedule mainly due to non-availability of funds and poor financial conditions of State Electricity Boards (SEBs).

By the end of 8th Plan i.e., March 1997, an additional generation of 5000 MU/year was achieved. Also, Life Extension works on 4 units of Neyveli TPS aggregating to 300 MW capacity were completed. An amount of Rs. 862 crore was incurred during 8th Plan. CEA reviewed the Phase-II R&M programme and balance activities still required to be carried out were included in the 9th Plan R&M programme.

6.16 9th Plan Programme

During the 9th Plan Programme, 127 units (17306 MW) at 29 power stations at an estimated cost of Rs. 913 crore were taken up for R&M. In addition, another 25 units (1685 MW) for Life Extension at an estimated cost of Rs.1700 crore were taken up.

6.16.1 10th Plan Programme

At the beginning of 10th Plan, R&M works on 57 units (14270MW) at an estimated cost of Rs. 977 crore were identified for sustenance of their performance for completion during the plan. The works on 14 units had been completed and for balance units major activities have been completed.

106 old thermal units (10413 MW) were identified for Life Extension works. Based on subsequent techno-economic examination, the Life Extension works on 26 units (1698 MW) were not found techno-economically viable. LE works on 11 units (985 MW) had been completed

Page 90: Annual Report 07 08

81

Central electricity authority Annual Report 2007-08

“Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.”

& 21 units (2203 MW) had been transferred to Partnership-in-Excellence (PIE) programme.

6.16.2 11th Plan Programme

During the 11th Plan, 77 number thermal units of total capacity of 19205 MW have been taken up for R&M for generation sustenance. In addition, 81 units of total capacity 13032 MW have been taken up for Life Extension programme with a view to give extended life of 10-15 years plus increased generation of 11000 MU/year assuming an increase in PLF of about 10%. Details of units for R&M/LE programme during 11th Plan are appended in Annexure-6E.

6.16.3 Programme for the year 2007-08

R&M works not completed during the 10th Plan period were being carried out during the year 2007-08. Further, new units were identified for carrying out R&M/LE works during 11th Plan and actions initiated in this regard. LE works on unit No. 2 (1x40MW) of Obra TPS had been completed and the execution of LE works on another 14 units (1924 MW) are in progress. Order for LE works on another 10 units (1580MW) i.e. unit 9,10,11, 12 & 13 (5x200MW) of Obra TPS, unit 3 & 4 (2x110MW) of Bhatinda TPS, Unit No. 2 (120MW) of Ukai TPS and Unit No. 1 & 2 (2x120MW) of Gandhinagar TPS were placed. The work on these units are likely to be started shortly. The activities related to PIE programme continued to be implemented.

6 . 1 6 . 4 F u t u re Vi s i o n f o r R & M Programme

Prior to 1977, all the thermal units installed in the country were of less than 200 MW ratings. Majority of such units were non-reheat type with low design efficiency. The first 200 MW of Russian (LMZ) design was commissioned at Obra TPS in 1977. Thereafter, the unit size of 200/210MW became the standard unit size till 1984 when first 500 MW unit was commissioned at Trombay TPS. From 1983 onwards, KWU design 210MW units

with higher steam parameters and improved heat rate were installed.

Today, 200/210/250MW and 500 MW units (57237 MW) consisting of 75 % of coal/lignite based installed capacity form the backbone of Indian Power industry. So far, R&M activities were confined to old, small size units to sustain their operation, improve plant availability and extend their operating life. However, such units are highly inefficient and beset with various operational problems. It is aimed at to gradually decommission such units.

A large number of 200/210 MW of LMZ design machines and few 500 MW machines are in operation for 15-25 years. Such machines through efficiency integrated R&M provide a good opportunity for performance enhancement through technology intensive R&M. Plant specific energy audit studies and techono-economic analysis are proposed to be carried out for defining & implementation of efficiency integrated R&M/LE scheme. At present, three power stations viz., Bokaro 'B' TPS (3x210MW), Kolaghat TPS (3x210MW) and Nasik TPS Unit-3 (1x210MW) have been identified for efficiency integrated R&M study through bilateral cooperation with German Government. Further, few units Bandel TPS Unit-5 (210MW), Koradi TPS Unit-1 (210MW) and Panipat TPS (2x110MW) have also been identified for efficiency integrated R&M through World Bank assistance.

6.17 “Partnership in Excel lence” Programme

A three phase programme named 'Partnership in Excellence' (PIE) was launched by Ministry of Power in August 2005 for an initial period of two years (i.e. upto August 2007) with a view to improve performance of such stations which were running at PLF much below 60%. CEA identified 26 thermal power stations comprising of 81 units (8564MW) having PLF below 60% to have partnership with better performing utilities viz.

Page 91: Annual Report 07 08

Central electricity authority Annual Report 2007-08

82 “The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.”

NTPC, Tata Power. Out of these 26 Stations, the programme on 4 stations was not found feasible and in another 4 stations, improvement is being carried out by the concerned utilities themselves. NTPC was chosen as partner in respect of 16 stations whereas M/S Tata Power was selected as partner for Dhuvaran TPS (units 5&6 of 140 MW each). CEA had been actively associated in scheme identification, monitoring and facilitating in implementation of R&M/LE programmes through interaction with utilities, equipment suppliers, agencies associated with R&M/LE works and visiting power plants regularly.

The programme had started showing results at a number of power stations in the form of improvement in PLF, plant availability, specific oil consumption and auxiliary power consumption. There was an over-all increase in PLF from 43.9% to 52.1% during the year 2007-08 as compared to PLF before the implementation of PIE programme.

The PIE programme activities were discontinued at Bandel & Santaldih of WBPDCL in March 2007 on the request of the Utility. However, based on the request of the utilities, the PIE programme was extended at Durgapur, Bokaro 'B' & Chandrapura of DVC, Ennore Power stations of TNEB and in Dhuvaran TPS of GSECL upto 31st December, 2007 whereas in other stations i.e., stations of UPRVUNL, DPL, IPGCL, JSEB & TVNL, the programme was extended up to March, 2008.

6.18 Fly Ash Generation & Utilization

A) Fly Ash Utilisation

a) At present, the installed capacity of coal/lignite based thermal power stations in the country is about 86015 MW as on 31.03.08 and the figure is likely to increase with commissioning of a large thermal capacity during 11th Plan. The total ash being generated at present by thermal power

stations pertaining to power utilities works out to be of the order of 114 million tones per annum. It is estimated that from a total thermal capacity (coal/lignite) based TPSs by end of 11th Plan, the ash generated in the form of fly ash (80-90%) and bottom ash (10-20%) would be of the order of 173 MT per annum considering 38% ash content in coal as an average and at 80% PLF. Since the economics prefer installation of coal/lignite based TPSs near the source of coal/lignite i.e. pit head, ash generated is to be utilized in various ways by locating industries in the vicinity depending upon the characteristics and other engineering properties of the ash. The beneficiation of coal by reduction in the percentage ash content and by blending with imported coal will reduce the total quantity of ash generation.

b) Presently, the manufacturing of ash based products is at developmental stage and needs to be made more environmental friendly. Some of the areas of application of fly ash include:

Ø Brick/Block/Tiles manufacturing

Ø Cement manufacturing

Ø Roads and embankment construction

Ø Structural fill for reclaiming low lying areas

Ø Mine- filling

Ø Agriculture, Forestry and Wasteland development

Ø Part replacement of cement in mortar, concrete and ready mix concrete

Ø Hydraulic structure (Roller compacted concrete)

Ø Ash Dyke Raising Ø Building components: Mortar, Concrete,

Concrete Hollow Blocks, Aerated Concrete Blocks etc.

“Children are our most valuable natural resource.”

Ø Other medium and high value added products (ceramic tiles, wood, paints) pavement blocks, light weight aggregate, extraction of alumina, Cenospheres, etc.

c) As mentioned above, by the end of 2012, the ash likely to be generated from coal/lignite thermal capacity shall be of the order of 173 million tones per annum. A number of measures are being taken to encourage various sectors to consume ash.

The targets of ash utilization are primarily governed by the MoE&F Notification dated 14th September, 1999 and its amendment notification dated 27th August, 2003 as well as Hon’ble High Court of Delhi directions vide its judgments dated 4th December, 2002, 10th March, 2004 as well as 5th August, 2004.

d) The existing thermal power plants as on September, 1999 are to achieve ash utilization level of 100% in a phased manner by 2013-14 in accordance with 15 year action plan as per notification dated 14th September, 1999. The new power plant commissioned subsequent to September, 1999 are to achieve ash utilization level of 100% in a phased manner as per 9 year action plan and with effect from the date of publication of the notification dated 14th September, 1999. Besides, MoE&F has also issued as amendment notification dated 27th August, 2003 and has extended the scope of ash utilization by various construction agencies by stipulating specific targets for those within 50 km and 50 to 100 km radial distance of the location of thermal power plant. Construction agencies located within 50 km are to achieve ash utilization level targets of 100% up to August, 2005 and those located from 50 to 100 km distance are to achieve ash utilization level of 100% by August, 07.

A draft Notification No.So:313 dated 3rd April, 2007 was issued by MoE&F on Utilization of fly ash generated from thermal power stations, under Environment protection Act, 1986 to

supersede existing Notification dated 14th September, 1999 read with amended Notification dated 27th August, 2003. A committee was constituted by MoE&F in August 2007 to consider the suggestion/ objections received regarding above Draft Notification dated 3rd April 2007. Chief Engineer (TCD), CEA was one of the Members of the above Committee which has submitted its recommendation to MoE&F in January 2008. A final view on this is yet to be taken by MoE&F.

B) Monitoring of Fly Ash Generation and Utilization

CEA continues to monitor the fly ash generation and ash utilization of coal/lignite based thermal power plants pertaining to power utilities of the Centre and the States. CEA has initiated half yearly monitoring of data during the year 2007-08. The following activities were carried out:

a) The data pertaining to 2007-08 was sought from 85 coal/ lignite based power plants pertaining to 29 power utilities in 17 States. The overall percentage of ash utilization during the year has been worked out to be 53.02. The ash utilization in various modes during the year was compiled (See graph-I).

b) The progressive ash utilization data up to the year 2007-08 has been compiled (See Graph-II). State-wise, power utility wise and region-wise abstract of the data was compiled.

c) Data on the physical, chemical and geo-technical properties of ash of various thermal power plants was compiled.

d) A report on fly ash generation and utilization data of 85 Nos of thermal power stations as utility- wise, state- wise, region -wise, sector -wise for the year 2007-08 was prepared. The actual ash generated was 116.96 MT and ash utilized was 62.02 MT and the overall percentage was 53.02.

9.1.3 Settlement of Dues

The gap between average revenue realization and average cost of supply constantly increased. All this caused erosion in the volume of internal resources generation by the SEBs and led them to virtual bankruptcy. The level of commercial losses of the SEBs/ utilities depended inter-alia on the unaccounted energy losses, effective subsidies incurred towards sales to agriculture

and domestic sectors, efforts to neutralize them through cross subsidization and the level of subsidies provided by the State Governments. Gross subsidy on energy sales has been increasing over the years because of the policy of some of the states to provide electricity at subsidized rates to agriculture and domestic consumers.

Consequently SEBs were unable to make full payments to CPSUs for purchase of power and coal resulting in accumulation of huge outstanding amount to be paid by SEBs. This adversely affected the growth and performance of Central Power Sector Utilities (CPSUs). This payment deficit continues to rise & threaten the viability of the Central Power Utilities. Poor credit worthiness of SEBs has also effectively blocked investments by the private sector despite the enabling and encouraging framework laid down by the Centre. Even in the post reform period, managerial and financial inefficiency in the state sector utilities adversely affected capacity addition and system improvement programmes.

In pursuance of the reforms process, the expert group formed by the govt. under the Chairmanship of Member (Energy), Planning Commission recommended a scheme for one time settlement of dues payable by the SEBs to CPSUs and Railways. This one time settlement scheme of dues (launched in 11th May, 2001) owed by SEBs/Utilities to CPSUs, was aimed at making loss making power utilities bankable. In terms of the Scheme 60% of interest/surcharge on the delayed payments/dues as on 30.9.2001 was waived and the rest of the dues were securitized through tax-free bonds issued by respective State Governments.

Considerable progress has been made since in the settlement of dues payable by SEBs to CPSUs and the Railways. All State Governments signed the tripartite agreement envisaged under the scheme, which was between the State

Page 104: Annual Report 07 08

95

Central electricity authority Annual Report 2007-08

“Children are our most valuable natural resource.”

Government, Reserve Bank of India and the Government of India. Out of these, 27 States have issued bonds amounting to Rs. 31581 crore. Goa had no outstanding dues. The Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi securitized its outstanding dues by converting the dues into long-term advances of Rs. 3,376 crore payable to the CPSUs concerned separately under bi-partite Agreements, as they do not have the power to issue bonds.

CEA has been monitoring the status of the outstanding dues payable by SEBs to CPSUs. The total dues outstanding to various CPSUs for the period 2002-03 to 2007-08 is given in table below.

9.1.4 Trend in Outstanding Dues to CPSUs by SEBs/ Utilities

Year Total OutstandingDues (Rs. Crore)

2002-03 41490.70

2003-04 8093.76

2004-05 6248.15

2005-06 2601.22

2006-07* 2937.39

2007-08* 3596.11

*As reported by CPSUs upto 31-03-08

A statement indicating the status of outstanding dues as per the information received from CPSUs up to 31-03-08 is given in Annexure-9A.

With securitization of past dues by the State Governments and creation of the discipline of payment for current bills, the raising of the requisite resources from the market for the ambitious capacity addition programme of the CPSUs would become feasible.

9.2 Tariff and average rates of electricity supply and electricity duty

In fulfillment of its obligation under Section 73(i) & (j) of the Electricity Act, 2003, CEA brings out a publication titled “Electricity Tariff & Duty and Average Rates of Electricity Supply in India”. The latest edition (March, 2008) which is under the process of publication, will contain revisions / amendments in the tariffs up to 31st July, 2007. Average rates of electricity supply presented in this edition have been worked on the basis of the tariff orders issued by the State Electricity Regulatory Commissions and tariff notifications issued by the concerned Power Departments/Utilities. The tariffs applicable as on 31st July, 2007 have been considered for the current analysis.

Further, the publication gives a comparative study to know the trends of average rates of electricity in various states of the country. Though, it is somewhat difficult to compare the tariffs applicable in the various States, because of different parameters considered by the State Electricity Boards/State Electricity Regulatory Commissions for fixing consumer tariff, an attempt has been made to work out average rates for various categories of consumers for the purpose of broad comparison. The methodology followed involves assumption of certain sanctioned load (kW) and monthly electricity consumption level for each category of consumers separately. Considering the rates of sale of electricity for various slabs as notified by the supplier, the average per unit rate have been worked out. The electricity duty/ taxes applicable are added to these rates to arrive at the final average per unit amount payable.

A statement indicating estimated average category-wise rates of electricity for various utilities in the country updated up to 31-03-2008 is given at Annexure-9B.

With a view to develop a model RfP and DF Agreement, a study of distribution franchise arrangement of Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company (MSEDCL) is under process.

9.14 Analysis of Electricity Wholesale Price Index (WPI) vis-a-vis other Commodities

Earlier, CEA had conducted a study on Electricity WPI viz-à-viz different consumer categories for the period 1982-2004. The study was sent to MoP in August, 2006. Later on, MoP desired that WPI Data should be obtained from the Ministry of Commerce since 1960 and a comparative study of WPI of Electricity be made with WPI of other commodities. The WPI historical data could only be obtained from 1968-69 from source. As such,

“In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice.”

the period of this study is restricted from the financial year 1968-69 to 2005-06.

In this analysis, an attempt has been made to compare the movement in composite electricity price index with WPI for different electricity consumer categories such as Domestic Consumers, Agriculture Consumers; Industrial Consumers, Commercial Consumers etc. Comparative Analysis of Electricity (Composite) (WPI) from 1968-69 to 2005-06 (Converted Series with Base year 1993-94=100) has been done at 5 years intervals.

Further, the study compares Electricity (Composite) Wholesale Prices with Kerosene Oil, Petrol, Food Articles, Edible Oil, Sugar, Diesel and Non-Coking Coal. Final report is almost ready for circulation to all concerned.

It is seen from above table that during the year, Hydro generation exceeded the targets by 14120 MU, however Thermal generation & Nuclear generation was less than the target by 13379 MU & 5937 MU respectively. The main reasons observed for low power generation are as follows:

l Low generation in Nuclear Plants due to the fuel constraints.

l Shortage of gas for operation of the existing gas based stations.

l Non-availability of gas for new units at Gautami and Konaseema CCPP in Andhra Pradesh with aggregate capacity of 909 MW resulting in delay of commissioning of units.

l Delay in the commencement of generation from some of the newly commissioned units due to non-completion of balance of plant works.
