(iv) In case a transmission system or an element thereof is prevented from regular service on or before the Scheduled COD for reasons not attributable to the transmission licensee or its supplier or its contractors but is on account of the delay in commissioning of the concerned generating station or in commissioning of the upstream or downstream transmission system of other transmission licensee, the transmission licenseeshall approach the Commission through an appropriate application for approval of the date of commercial operation of such transmission system or an element thereof. (v) An element shall be declared to have achieved COD only after all the elements which are pre-required to achieve COD as per the Transmission Services Agreement are commissioned. In case any element is required to be commissioned prior to the commissioning of pre-required element, the same can be done if CEA confirms that such commissioning is in the interest of the power system. (vi) The transmission licensee shall submit a certificate from the CMD/CEO/MD of the Company that the transmission line, sub-station and communication system conform to the relevant Grid Standard and Grid Code, and are capable of operation to their full capacity. Note: Transmission Licensee referred to in this Sub-Regulation shall include “Deemed Transmission Licensee” as per the provision of the Act. 5. Trial run and Trial operation in relation to a transmission system or an element thereof shall mean successful charging of the transmission system or an element thereof for 24 hours at continuous flow of power, and communication signal from the sending end to the receiving end and with requisite metering system, telemetry and protection system in service enclosing certificate to that effect from concerned Regional Load Despatch Centre. 6. Date of commercial operation in relation to a communication system or an element thereof shall mean the date declared by the transmission licensee from 0000 hour of which a communication system or element thereof shall be put into service after completion of site acceptance test including transfer of voice and data to respective control centre as certified by the respective Regional Load Dispatch Centre. 7. In the event of inconsistency between the provisions relating to trial operation and commercial operation as specified in Sub-Regulation 6.3A.1 to 6.3A.6 of these regulations and the provisions of Central Electricity Regulatory Commissions (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) Regulations, 2014 or any subsequent enactment thereof, the provisions of these regulations shall prevail. 6.3B – Technical Minimum Schedule for operation of Central Generating Stations and Inter-State Generating Stations 1. The technical minimum for operation in respect of a unit or units of aCentral Generating Stationof inter-State Generating Station shall be 55% of MCR loading or installed capacity of the unit of at generating station.¹Hkkx IIIµ[k.M 4º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 11 2. The CGS or ISGS may be directed by concerned RLDC to operate its unit(s) at or above the technical minimum but below thenormative plant availability factor on account of grid security ordue to the fewer schedules given by the beneficiaries. 3. Where the CGS or ISGS,whose tariff is either determined or adopted by the Commission, is directed by the concerned RLDC to operate below normative plant availability factor but at or abovetechnical minimum, the CGS or ISGSmay be compensated depending on the average unit loading duly taking into account the forced outages, planned outages, PLF, generation at generator terminal, energy sent out ex-bus, number of start-stop, secondary fuel oil consumption and auxiliary energy consumption, in due consideration of actual and normative operating parameters of station heat rate, auxiliary energy consumption and secondary fuel oil consumption etc. on monthly basis duly supported by relevant data verified by RLDC or SLDC, as the case may be. Provided that: (i) In case of coal/lignite basedgenerating stations, following station heat rate degradation or actual heat rate, whichever is lower, shall be considered for the purpose of compensation: S.No. Unit loading as a % of I n c r e a s e in SHR Increase in SHR Installed Capacity of the Unit (for supercritical (for sub-critical units) units) (%) (%) 1 85-100 Nil Nil 2 75-84.99 1.25 2.25 3 65-74.99 2 4 4 55-64.99 3 6 (ii)In case of coal/lignite based generating stations, the following Auxiliary Energy Consumption degradation or actual, whichever is lower, shall be considered for the purpose of compensation: Sl. No Unit Loading (% of % Degradation in AEC MCR) admissible 1. 85 – 100 NIL 2. 75 – 84.99 0.35 3. 65 – 74.99 0.65 4. 55 - 64.99 1.00 (iii) Where the scheduled generation falls below the technical minimum schedule, the concerned CGS or ISGS shall have the option to go for reserve shut down and in such cases, start-up fuel cost over and above seven (7) start/stop in a year shall be considered as additional compensation based on following norms or actual, whichever is lower: Unit Size (MW) Oil Consumption per start up (Kl) Hot Warm Cold 200/210/250 MW 20 30 50 500 MW 30 50 90 660 MW 40 60 110 (iv) In case of gas based Central Generating Station or inter-State Generating Station, compensation shall be decided based on the characteristic curve provided by the manufacturer and after prudence check of the actual operating parameters of Station Heat Rate, Auxiliary Energy Consumption, etc. (v) Compensation for the Station Heat Rate and Auxiliary Energy Consumption shall be worked out in terms of energy charges. (vi) The compensation so computed shall be borne by the entity who has caused the plant to be operated at schedule lower than corresponding to Normative Plant Availability Factor up to technical minimum based on the compensation mechanism finalized by the RPCs.12 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART III—SEC. 4] (vii) No compensation for Heat Rate degradation and Auxiliary Energy Consumption shall be admissible if the actual Heat Rate and/or actual Auxiliary Energy Consumption are lower than the normative Station Heat Rate and /or normative AuxiliaryEnergy Consumption applicable to the unit or the generating station. (viii) There shall be reconciliation of the compensation at the end of the financial year in due consideration of actual weighted average operational parameters of station heat rate, auxiliary energy consumption and secondary oil consumption. (ix) No compensation for Heat Rate degradation and AuxiliaryEnergy Consumption shall be admissible if the actual Heat Rate and/or actual AuxiliaryEnergy Consumption are lower than the normative station Heat Rate and /or normative AuxiliaryEnergy Consumption applicable to the unit or the generating station in a month or after annual reconciliation at the end of the year. (x) The change in schedule of power underthe provisions of Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Ancillary Services Operations) Regulations, 2015 shall not be considered for compensation. 4. In case of a generating station whose tariff is neither determined nor adopted by the Commission, the concerned generating company shall have to factor the above provisions in the PPAs entered into by it for sale of power in order to claim compensations for operating at the technical minimum schedule. 5. The generating company shall keep the record of the emission levels from the plant due to part load operation and submit a report for each year to the Commission by 31st May of the year. 6. NLDC shall prepare a Detailed Operating Procedure in consultation with the generators and beneficiaries at RPC forums within 2 months’ time and submit to the Commission for approval. The Detailed Operating Procedure shall containthe role of different agencies, data requirements, procedure for taking the units under reserve shut down and the methodology for identifying the generating stations or units thereof to be backed down upto the technical minimum in specific Grid conditions such as low system demand, Regulation of Power Supply and incidence of high renewables etc., based on merit order stacking. 7. The RPCs shall workout a mechanism for compensation for station heat rate and auxiliary energy consumption for low unit loading on monthly basis in terms of energy charges and compensation for secondary fuel oil consumption over and above the norm of 0.5 ml/kWh for additional start-ups in excess of 7 start-ups, in consultation with generators and beneficiaries at RPC forum and its sharing by the beneficiaries.
