6. GENERAL PRINCIPLES FOR DISPATCH SCHEDULING-
(1) The general principles for the least cost dispatch shall be as per the following:
a. Maintaining Power Balance of the Grid- The Distribution Licensee shall forecast the demand and map it with the available sources of generation to prepare the requisition schedules. The Distribution Licensee should plan in advance for procurement of power in case the forecasted demand is more than the available supply.
b. Minimization of power procurement costs The Distribution Licensee shall provide the requisition schedules such that the overall costs of power procurement is minimized. The Distribution Licensee shall consider not only the Variable Charges but also other variables costs such as Start-up and Shut-down costs, compensation charges due to lower unit loadings of generators, and any other variable costs for preparing the requisition schedules. The Distribution Licensee should use advance optimization tools to dynamically consider all variables costs and system constraints to dynamically generate the least cost requisition schedules.
c. Avoidance of Load Curtailment —
(i) The Distribution Licensee, while creating MOD stack at pre-dispatch stage and SLDC while scheduling shall plan in advance for keeping sufficient number of generation units online such that the system is able to ramp-up or ramp-down during peak and off-peak hours in a day to avoid any load curtailment.
(ii) The Distribution Licensee, while creating MOD stack at pre-dispatch stage and SLDC while scheduling should consider the Generating plant's applicable dynamic properties 'such as ramp rates along with the part-load fuel consumption and associated fuel costs before selecting the unit to back-down or shut-down.
(a) The Distribution Licensee and SLDC shall also consider the ramping capabilities and storage capacities of energy storage plants or reservoir/pondage based hydro plants or any other technology/source recognized by the Appropriate Commission having capacity to provide smooth power transition to peak demand hours.
(b) If the system conditions demand the reserve shut down of any plant owing to lower demand scenarios, the Distribution Licensee or SLDC should consider the start-up properties of the generating plant such as minimum time online, minimum time offline, start-up fuel costs, start-up fuel consumption rates etc.
d. SLDC shall optimize the number of generating units online in order to-
(i) accommodate sudden variation in the generation of Intermittent RES schedules.
(ii) to meet the demand during the peak demand period considering the ramping requirements and the start-up/shut-down time for generators:
Provided that the SLDC may curtail some of the must-run or the Intermittent RES generation in case the system constraint does not allow backing/ shut-down of the thermal plants:
Provided further that SLDC shall provide reasons for curtailment of intermittent RES.
e. Adequacy of Spinning Reserves- SLDC shall ensure the adequacy of the spinning reserve requirements of the system for frequency stabilization. The SLDC shall maintain the active reserve requirements of the system, namely, Primary Control Reserve or FCR (Frequency Containment Reserve), Secondary Control Reserve or FRR (Frequency Restoration Reserve), Tertiary Control Reserve or Replacement Reserve (RR).
f Compliance to Regulations- The Distribution Licensee, while preparing the requisition schedules, should consider various constraints and costs as stipulated by different Regulations such as the CERC' (Indian Electricity Grid Code) Regulations, 2010 and its amendments such as deteriorated Station heat rate, auxiliary energy consumption and compensations in terms of primary fuel consumption levied beyond certain numbers.
g. System and Policy Constraints- The Distribution Licensee, while preparing the drawal schedules, should also consider any system or policy constraints such as fuel constraints; transmission constraints (ATC/TTC of the interconnected system) for optimal scheduling. For this purpose, the ATC/TTC shall be uploaded on the SLDC website every fortnight.
h. Opportunities in the market- the Distribution Licensee should not only consider the contracted generation through PPAs at its disposal but also the existing market opportunities for purchasing power during deficit scenarios or replacing costlier generation after taking into account the market scenario in order to optimize overall power procurement cost.
(2) SLDC shall prepare the centralized MOD stack by obtaining the MOD stacks from each Distribution Licensees.
Based on the total power requisitioned by various beneficiaries of the generating company, SLDC shall schedule generating plant subject to the least cost dispatch principles, while considering all system and cost constraints to maintain the grid frequency within the prescribed limits as per the CERC IEGC Regulations.
(3) The Distribution Licensee shall plan in advance reserve shutdown (RSD)/ revival from RSD based on forecast of demand, supply availabilities & market prices:
Provided that the Distribution Licensee shall undertake cost benefit analysis before planning shutdown/ revival of any generating station based on total power portfolio including other instruments like power exchange and banking etc.
(4) The operation of Generating Units at Technical Minimum shall be strictly guided by the Scheduling and Dispatch Code:
Provided that SLDC on the basis of these Regulation shall prepare and submit the revised Scheduling and Despatch Code, within 15 days from the date notification of these regulation for the approval of the commission.
Provided further that SLDC shall also develop the formats for reporting to the Commission the instances Where MOD is not adhered along with reasons thereof.
7. GUIDELINES FOR CAPACITY PE64.1kATION BY GENERATING UNITS-
(1) The Generating Company 'shall provide the ex-power plant Generation Schedule in MW for each time-block on day ahead basis in accordance with the provisions of State Grid Code, after taking into account the availability of fuel and Water.
(2) The Generating Company shall also provide the additional information regarding the fuel water availability in the following format to SLDC and contracted Distribution Licensee on day ahead basis Requirement as per Generation Schedule - .

(3) Revision of (DC) by State Sector Generating Stations SSGS and requisition Scheduled Generation (SG) by beneficiary (ies) for remaining part of the day shall also be permitted with advance notice. Revised schedule/declared capacity in such cases shall become effective from 3rd time block (N+2), counting the time block in which request for revision has been received in the SLDC to be the first one. Schedule generation shall be revised with a ramp up/ ramp down rate keeping in view the OEM characteristic of the machine, while comparing it with actual ramp up & ramp down rate achieved historically as provided in sub-Regulation (5) below. It is being categorically clarified that for Inter-State Generating Stations and other Interstate entities the revision shall become effective as per IEGC and its amendments thereof.
(4) SLDC may ask the Generating Station/Units to demonstrate the maximum DC of Generating Unit for the day or Generation Schedule for the particular time block, is any of the following circumstances:
a. In case the Declared Capacity by any Generating Station for a particular Generating Unit during Peak Hours in lower than Off Peak hours.
b. In case the Declared Capacity for a particular Generating Unit during the low demand period during the year is higher than the Generation Schedule during the high demand period during the year.
c. In case the variation in minimum and maximum Declared Capacity by any Generating Station for a particular Generating Unit during various time blocks of the day is more than 20% of the contracted capacity.
d. Based on request of contracted Distribution Licensee
(5) The ramp up and ramp down rates Shalt be declared by the generating companies looking at the OEM characteristic of the turbine as certified / furnished by the manufacturer:
Provided that the ramp up and ramp down rates as provided above should be comparable to the rates achieved in the past by the . generating Units based upon historical data After substantiating with such a comparison, the ramp up and ramp down rates shall be uploaded on the website by SLDC.
(6) SLDC may develop a comprehensive monitoring and audit procedure to identify and report the events of mis-declaration by the generators in terms of their DCs, fuel and water availabilities, ramping capabilities etc. SLDC should also develop a monitoring mechanism or dashboard to identify 'gaming' by the generators in providing DCs. The information should also be available on SLDC website.
(7) SLDC shall prepare the report of such instances of mis- declaration and publish the report on its website. SLDC shall also send such report to the concerned Distribution Licensee having PPA with such Generating Plant/Units on monthly basis by 5th of every month.
8. GUIDELINES FOR 'ZERO SCHEDULE' FOR GENERATION UNITS-
(1) If the anticipated generation availability.is more than the anticipated demand, or in case there is cheaper power available in the power markets, the Distribution Licensee may consider giving Zero Schedule to some of its contracted sources for the period during which the demand is expected to be lower than the total contracted sources availability put together for optimising its power procurement cost.
(2) The Distribution Licensee shall ensure that, there shall not be any adverse impact on its power procurement cost on account of zero scheduling of contracted generator:
Provided that, the Distribution Licensee shall submit six monthly reports regarding such decisions to the Commission for each financial year.
(3) SLDC shall provide its concurrence to the proposed "Zero Schedule" by Distribution Licensee considering the demand-supply position and transmission constraints.
(4) If grid constraints prevent the Zero Scheduling of the Unit with the highest Variable Charge in the MOD Stack, the Unit with next highest Variable Charge' needs to be considered:
Provided that SLDC shall publish the details of such grid constraints, along with the period for which it is likely to persist on its website on 1st and 15th day of every month.
(5) Any additional cost implication in Variable Charges (by means of inferior norms of operation or minimum fuel off-take conditions) that arises on account of Zero Scheduling shall be borne entirely by such Distribution Licensee and shall be dealt as per provisions under PPA with generators. Pass through to the Distribution Licensee on this account will not be allowed, while tilling up the power procurement cost unless it is a case of scheduling error on account of SLDC.
Notwithstanding anything provided above, SLDC will have to notify the reasons for such incorrect scheduling and shall be borne by SLDC which shall not be allowed as a pass-through expenditure in its ARR.
9. GUIDELINES FOR INSTRUCTING RESERVE SHUT DOWN (RSD) OF GENERATING UNITS BY SLDC-
(1) Generating units are to be put under reserve shutdown is strictly on the basis of merit order dispatch and grid constraints if any:
Provided that SLDC shall publish the details of such grid constraints, along with the period for which it is likely to persist on its website on 1st and 15th day of every month.
(2) Request for putting generating units under reserve shutdown to be submitted by the beneficiary to SLDC in format RSD — I as specified by SLDC in its Scheduling and Despatch Code. Beneficiary should also intimate to generating station timely regarding above proposed RSD.
