  1. Sharing of Inter State Transmission Charges National Load Despatch Centre Implementing Agency

  2. Fundamental Principles • Objectives of Pricing system • Promote the efficient day-to-day operation of the bulk power market; • Signal locational advantages for investment in generation and demand; • Signal the need for investment in the transmission system; • Compensate the owners of existing transmission assets; • Simple and transparent • Politically implementable

  3. Desirable Features of a Transmission Pricing Scheme • Reasonable revenue to the transmission system owners • Equitable sharing of the above payment between the transmission system users, according to benefits derived • Inducement to transmission system owner to enhance the availability of the system • Ensuring that merit - order dispatch of generating stations does not get distorted due to defective transmission pricing

  4. Desirable Features of a Transmission Pricing Scheme • Ensures that planned development / augmentation of the transmission system, which is otherwise beneficial, does not get inhibited • Appropriate commercial signal for optimal location of new generating stations and loads • Treatment of transmission losses – whether handled separately or as a part of transmission charges • Priority of transmission system usage between users under different categories

  5. Desirable Features of a Transmission Pricing Scheme • Revenue of transmission system owner, in a vertically unbundled scenario, should not depend on dispatch decisions and actual power flows • To the extent possible, the users should know upfront what charges they would have to pay, and retrospective adjustments should be avoided • Dispute-free implementation on a long-term basis

  6. Methods for Sharing of Transmission Charges • Postage Stamp Method • Contract Path Method • MW Mile Method • Distance Based • Power Flow Based • Average Participation • Marginal Participation Method • Zone to Zone Method

  7. Policy Mandate Electricity Act 2003 • National Electricity Policy • Tariff Policy

  8. Policy Mandate– National Electricity Policy Section 5.3.2 “….Prior agreement with the beneficiaries would not be a pre-condition for network expansion…” Section 5.3.5 “……..The tariff mechanism would be sensitive to distance, direction and related to quantum of flow….”

  9. Policy Mandate – Tariff Policy Section 7.1 : Transmission Pricing Section 7.1.1 “The National Electricity Policy mandates that the national tariff framework implemented should be sensitive to distance, direction and related to quantum of power flow……” Section 7.1.2 “Transmission charges, under this framework, can be determined on MW per circuit kilometer basis, zonal postage stamp basis, or some other pragmatic variant, the ultimate objective being to get the transmission system users to share the total transmission cost in proportion to their respective utilization of the transmission system……” Contd…..

  32. Timelines for Submission of Information Details of data submitted by DICs • Injection and Withdrawal forecast for different blocks of months (Peak and Other than Peak): • April to June…………………………… (for May 15) • July to September……………………. (for August 31) • October to November………………… (for October 30) • December to February……………….. (for January 15) • March…………………………………… (for March 15) • In case the dates appearing in brackets fall on a weekend/public holiday, the data shall be submitted for working days immediately after the dates indicated

  33. Determination of PoC Charges (1) • Consultancy Assignment for Software development • IIT, Mumbai & Power Anser Labs (PAL) • Web based Software developed for calculation of PoC Charges • WebNetUse • Software Approved by CERC

  34. Determination of PoC Charges (2) • Compilation & checking of network data • Assumptions for missing data • Formulation of Base case for load flow studies • Based upon the Network Data submitted by the DICs • All elements up to 132 kV included in the model • Load Flow Studies on the Full Network • Truncation for the purpose of PoC Charge Determination • Network truncation at 400 kV • Except NER, where it is done at 132 kV.

  35. Determination of PoC Charges (3) • Inputs to the WebNetUse Software • Truncated Network Data • YTC Details • Load Flow Study by WebNetUse • Identification of Slack Bus • Calculation of Marginal Participation Factors for each line/bus • Calculation of PoC Charges for each Node • Results obtained from WebNetUse • Node wise PoC Charges • Injection charge • Withdrawal charge

  36. Determination of PoC Charges (4) • Philosophy for identification of coherent nodes for zoning • State control areas to be separate demand zone except in the case of North Eastern States, which are considered as a single demand zone. • State control areas considered as generation zone except NER states which are considered as a single generation zone. • All ISGS of 1500 MW (thermal) / 500 MW (hydro) considered as separate generation zone.

  37. Determination of PoC Charges (4) • Calculation of Zonal PoC Charges • Weighted average of nodal PoC Charges • Separate Charge for • Injection • Withdrawal • Scaling of Charges • To ensure full recovery • PoC Charges in Rs. / MW / Month

  38. Treatment of HVDC • Zero Marginal Participation for HVDC Line • HVDC line flow regulated by power order. • MP Method can not recover its cost directly. • HVDC line can be modeled as: • Load at sending end • Generator at receiving end

  39. Indirect Method for HVDC Cost Allocation • Compute Transmission Charges for all load and generators with all HVDC lines in service. • Disconnect HVDC line and again compute new transmission charges for all loads and generators • Compute difference between nodal charges with or without HVDC. • Identify nodes which benefits with the presence of HVDC • Allocate HVDC line cost to the identified nodes.

  40. Accounting of Transmission Charges Accounting of Charges : Monthly accounts in each region shall be prepared by respective RPC Regulation 10(1) Regional Power Committee Regional Transmission Accounts (1st Working Day of Every Month for the previous Month) Regional Transmission Deviation Accounts (15th Day of Every Month for the previous Month)

  41. Billing of Transmission Charges • Central Transmission Utility (CTU) shall be responsible for • Raising the bills, collection and disbursement to ISTS licensees based on Accounts issued by RPC • Bill to be raised only on DIC’s • SEB/STU may recover such charges from DISCOMs, Generators and Bulk Consumers connected to the intra-state system. • The billing from CTU for ISTS charges for all DICs shall be : • In 3 parts on the basis of Rs/MW/Month and; • the fourth part for deviations would be on the basis of Rs/MW/Block
