PROTECTION CODE

27. Introduction.—Protecting the State Transmission System and User's systems from faults and to ensure the reliability and safety of the electrical grid is of utmost importance.The reliable and safe operation of the electrical grid, certain minimum standards for protection need to be established. These standards specify the requirements for protective devices, schemes, and procedures to detect and mitigate faults and abnormalities in the power system. The objective of this chapter is to define the minimum protection requirements for any equipment connected to the State Transmission System and thereby safeguard the system from disruption due to faults.

28. Protection Principles.—(1) Electrical equipment connected to the State Transmission System shall be covered by minimum specified protection. This protection is designed to achieve the following critical objectives:

(i) Reliability: ensuring the reliable operation of the equipment and the system as a whole;

(ii) Selectivity: enabling the selective identification and isolation of faulty section or issues in the system;

(iii) Speed: providing fast responses to faults to minimize downtime and disruptions;

(iv) Stability: maintaining the overall stability of the electrical system; and (v) Sensitivity: detecting even minor abnormalities or faults promptly.

(2) All Users connected to the State Transmission System are expected to cooperate with the State Transmission Utility (STU) in ensuring that the protection settings of their equipment are correctly configured. This cooperation is essential for achieving the effective and non- discriminatory removal of faulty lines or equipment within the specified time frames outlined in the code.

(3) Protection settings should not be altered, and protection relays should not be bypassed or disconnected without consultation and agreement between all affected Users.

(4) In cases where protection is bypassed or disconnected by agreement, there is an obligation to rectify the cause of the bypass and restore protection to its normal condition as quickly as possible.

(5) If an agreement cannot be reached regarding the bypass or disconnection of protection, the electrical equipment in-question must be removed from service immediately. This strict measure is taken to prioritize the safety and stability of the electrical system.

(6) The NRPC/SLDC shall advise the STU regarding,—

(i) Planning for upgrading and strengthening protection system based on analysis of grid disturbance and partial/total black out in the State Transmission System; and

(ii) Planning of Islanding and System Split schemes and installation of Under Frequency Relays and df/dt relays.

(7) The STU shall be responsible for arranging periodical meetings of the PCC. The unsatisfactory protection issues shall be reported to STU for investigation of any malfunctioning of protection system. Users shall take prompt action to correct any protection mal-function or issue as discussed and agreed to in these periodical meetings. PCC shall decide the date from which the existing protection provided in STU and/ or User systems not meeting the minimum requirement as stipulated in this Code is required to be changed:

Provided that if it is felt by STU that user's protection system does not comply with the norms, User is bound to get his protection system checked/tested/ inspected by the STU, and if required replaced by new ones after its inspection and testing, so that there is no adverse impact on State Grid or STU's system.

(8) PLCC system, Optical fiber cable, V-Sat or any other communication system shall be used with the approval of PCC.

29. Fault Clearance Times.—(1) From stability consideration, the maximum fault clearance times for faults on any User's system directly connected to the State Transmission System, or any faults on the State Transmission System itself, shall be as follows:—

Lower fault clearing time than above are also preferable.

(2) Lower fault clearance times for faults on Users system may be agreed to but only if, in STU's opinion, system conditions allow this. At generating stations, line faults should be cleared at the generating station end within the critical clearing time so that the generators remain in synchronism.

30. Generator and Transmission Lines Requirements.—(1) All Generating Units and all associated electrical equipment of the Generating Units connected to the State Transmission System shall have adequate protection so that the State Transmission System does not suffer due to4889 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 27 जून, 2026/06 आषाढ़, 1948 any disturbances originating from the Generation units. As per the CBIP Publication No. 274 Section-1, the generator protection schemes shall cover at least differential protection, back up protection, Stator & Rotor Earth fault protection, field ground/field failure protection (not applicable to brush-less excitation system), negative sequence protection, under frequency, over flux protection, inter-turn. Differential protection for generator, restricted E/F for Generator Transformer, back-up impedance protection, pole slipping protection (applicable to units above 200 MW), reverse power protection etc.

(2) The protection schemes for lines at 400 kV/220 kV/132 kV/66 kV, ICTs, Sub-stations, protection audit plan and system protection schemes shall be in accordance with the provisions of relevant CEA Regulations and CERC (Indian Electricity Grid Code) Regulations, 2023:

Provided that the STU and the concerned Users shall be responsible for the implementation, maintenance, periodic testing/ auditing and compliance of such protection schemes within the HP Control Area.

Reactive Power and Voltage Control

(1) Reactive power compensation should ideally be provided locally, by generating reactive power as close to the reactive power consumption as possible. The beneficiaries are, therefore, expected to provide local VAr compensation/generation such that they do not draw VArs from the EHV grid, particularly under low-voltage condition. To discourage VArdrawals by State Entity, VAr exchanges with IaSTS shall be priced as follows :

(i) The beneficiary pays for VArdrawal when voltage at the metering point is below 97% .

(ii) The beneficiary gets paid for VAr return when voltage is below 97%

(iii) The beneficiary gets paid for VArdrawal when voltage is above 103%

(iv) The beneficiary pays for VAr return when voltage is above 103%:

Provided that there shall be no change/payment for VArdrawal/ return by a beneficiary on its own line emanating directly from an SSGS.

(2) The charge for VArh and annual escalation shall be as specified by the Commission separately.

(3) Notwithstanding the above, SLDC may direct a STU/Users'Users' to curtail its VArdrawal/injection in case the security of grid or safety of any equipment is endangered.

(4) VAr exchange directly between two Users, STU and Users on the interconnecting lines owned by them (singly or jointly) generally address or cause a local voltage problem, and generally do not have an impact on the voltage profile of the State Grid. Accordingly, the management/control and commercial handling of the VAr exchanges on such lines shall be as per following provisions, on case-by-case basis:

(a) The two Users, STU and Users may mutually agree not to have any charge/payment for VAr exchanges between them on an interconnecting line.

(b) The two Users, STU and Users may mutually agree to adopt a payment rate/scheme for VAr exchanges between them identical to or at variance from that specified by the Commission for VAr exchanges with laSTS. If the agreed scheme requires any additional metering, the same shall be arranged by the Users/STU.

(c) In case of a disagreement between the Users/STU (e.g. one party wanting to have the charge/payment for VAr exchanges, and the other party refusing to have the scheme), the scheme as specified in annexure to this Appendix shall be applied.

The perkVArh rate shall be as specified by the Commission for VAr exchanges with laSTS.

(d) The computation and payments for such VAr exchanges shall be effected as mutually agreed between the two Users, STU and Users.

(5) SLDC shall raise the weekly reactive charges bill to beneficiary and such beneficiary shall make payment of the reactive charges within 7 days from the date of issuance of bill by the SLDC or any such time lines as may be fixed by the Commission:

Provided that while raising such bills to beneficiary, the SLDC shall take into account the weekly reactive energy charges bill raised to HP State by NRPC.

Block Diagram showing the case wise Scheduling and Forecasting considering a sample case

Case-I (QCA responsible for all generators):

(a) Suppose an REGS of 1000 MW capacity is developed in four blocks namely A,B,C & D of 250 MW capacity each and is directly connected to point A1,B1,C1& D1 respectively at IaSTS. Let REGSs of 50 MW each aggregating to 250 MW (5 Nos. namely E, F, G, H & I) be connected to intermediate pooling station. REGSs are connected to interface point E1, F1, G1, H1 & I1 and thereby connected to IaSTS at XX point.

(b) Suppose all the REGSs have mutually agreed to appoint a QCA for all scheduling and forecasting activities, such QCA, shall be responsible for carrying out activities as assigned under this Code.

A. QCA is responsible for all REGS connected at Intermediate pooling station

B. QCA responsible for some REGS connected at Intermediate pooling

In each of the above scenarios, the QCA shall be responsible for coordination of scheduling and de- pooling of DSM charges for all those REGS that mutually agreed to appoint a QCA. The other REGS shall be required to submit their schedule as well as be liable to pay their DSM charges.

Case-3: 50 MW and above (Phase-I &II)

A single generator of 1000 MW capacity is developing the generating station in phase-1 in four blocks namely A, B, C & D of 250 MW capacity each and is directly connected to point A1, B1, C1 & D1 respectively at IaSTS. At the interface point scheduling and forecasting shall be done by SLDC.

Phase-II- 500 MW (Separate Generator/Entities)

(a) Let multiple REGS of 50 MW each aggregating to 250 MW (5 Nos. Multiple Generator of 50 MW each (as separate entities), be connected to inter mediate pooling stations.

(b) REGS namely E, F, G, H & I each having the capacity of 50 MW each are connected to interface point E1, F1, G1, H1 & I1 and thereby connected to IaSTS at XX point.

(c) In such a case, scheduling, accounting, forecasting for these generators needs to be segregated at point E1, F1, G1, H1, I1. Scheduling shall be done at point P and shall be segregated at E1, F1, G1, H1, I1 by SLDC.

(d) Further there may be case where multiple generators less than 50MW (<50 MW) capacity are connected to the intermediate pooling station are stated as under:

Case-II Below 50 MW

(e) Let us consider, multiple REGS (namely J, K, L, M, N, O & P ) collectively having an aggregate installed capacity of 50 MW or more and are represented through a Lead Generator. Further REGS Q & R each of 100 MW are connected at Q1 & R1. All these REGS are connected to IaSTS at point Z1.

(f) Scheduling and forecasting for the REGSs J, K, L, M, N, O & P shall be done at Point Z1, but need to segregated at Point J1, K1, L1, M1, N1,O1& P1 and for REGSs Q & R needs to be segregated at Q1 and R1. In this case, the SLDC shall schedule at point Z1 and segregate at Y1, Q1 & R1. The lead generator shall provide aggregated schedule to the SLDC at Y1. Further the lead generator shall do segregation of schedules and other operational & commercial activities for generators J, K, L, M, N, O, P at points J1, K1, L1, M1, N1, O1 & P1.
