    220 kV;

    Category GI-2 : Tripping of one or more Power System Elements of the Grid

    like a Generator, Transmission Line, Transformer, Shunt

    Reactor, Series Capacitor and Static VAR Compensator, which

    requires re-scheduling of generation or load, without total loss

    of supply at a sub-station or loss of integrity of the Grid at

    400 kV and above;

    Categorisation of Grid Disturbances as per Regulation 11 (2) of IEGC:

    Category GD-1 : When less than 10 % of the antecedent generation or load in a

    regional grid is lost;

    3.10 IMPLEMENTATION OF PROTECTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN

    SOUTHERN REGION :

    In pursuance of the recommendations of Task Force on Power System

    Analysis under Contingencies constituted in the aftermath of Grid Disturbances in

  • July, 2012, SRPC in their 26th meeting held on 20th December, 2014 at

    Visakhapatnam, had approved a proposal to procure Protection Suite (Protection

    Management System - PMS) that comprises Web-based Management Software and

    Protection Setting Calculation Tool through PSDF funding.

    Subsequently, steps had been taken to get the scheme approved from PSDF,

    and Sanction Order in this regard had been received vide MoP letter no: 10/1/2014-

    OM dated 02.01.2017. Based on this, tender for executing the Project, “Procurement

    of Web-based Management Software and Protection Setting Calculation Tool for

    Southern Region”, had been invited through open bidding process from qualified and

    reputed bidders through SRPC tender notification dated 23rd March 2017. After

    evaluation of the received bids (Technical & Financial), the project was awarded to

    M/s PRDC Pvt. Ltd. (PRDC) on 09.08.2017. The execution period for the Project is

    about 18 months from the date of placement of LoA (also called “Effective Date”),

    Milestones – 5, 7, 8 & 9 were under progress.

    3.11 DETAILS OF ISLANDING SCHEMES IMPLEMENTED IN THE SOUTHERN

    REGION :

    The basic idea of islanding scheme is to devise a defense mechanism as a final

    stage remedial measure for power system defense plan in which a part of the system is

    islanded from a disturbed grid so that if healthy, this subpart could survive in isolation

    from rest of grid. Islanding should take place only when all other defense plan have

    been allowed their full opportunity to bring back and maintain system integrity and

    still the health of integrated system is on path of deterioration towards failure.

    Basic motivation for devising an islanding scheme is that it helps us in saving

    from total blackout during a major grid disturbance. A successfully survived island

    also helps in quicker restoration of grid. However, it is necessary to ensure that

    islanding schemes operate only as a final stage defense mechanism. For this we must

    keep operational frequency band for pre-islanding defence mechanism and islanding

    frequency band sufficiently apart. This frequency gap is necessary to take care of

    continued fall of frequency during the interval between relay pick-up and breaker

    opening. Similarly, a clear gap between frequency band of normal operation and

    highest setting of U/F load shedding relays is also necessary.

    In this regard, it may be noted that the following frequency bands have been

    adopted for normal operation of the grid and triggering various frequency based pre-

    islanding defense mechanisms :

    Operating Frequency

    Band

    dF/dt (Stage-I)

    dF/dt (Stage-II)

    AUFR (Stage-I)

    Frequency

    AUFR (Stage-II)

    Frequency

    AUFR (Stage-III) Frequency

    AUFR (Stage-IV) Frequency

    49.9

    0 –5

    0.05

    49.5 Hz & 0.2

    Hz/sec fall of

    frequency

    49.3 Hz & 0.3 Hz/sec

    fall of frequency

    49.2 49.0 48.8 48.6

  • • In case of further frequency fall, the islanding is designed to take place at 47.9

    Hz. The gap of 0.7 Hz before islanding will give sufficient time for the system

    to regain its stability.

    • The approved Islanding Schemes in Southern Region are non-adaptive in

    nature; Islands are formed with anticipated Load Generation balance and with

    tripping of pre-decided feeders at 47.9 Hz.
