investment to provide for such security and safety. The moment a CPP opts for <strong>parallel</strong><br />

operati<strong>on</strong>, it lays its claim <strong>on</strong> a porti<strong>on</strong> of infrastructure of generati<strong>on</strong>, transmissi<strong>on</strong> and<br />

distributi<strong>on</strong> created by the utility / licensee. Enumerati<strong>on</strong> of the techno-financial correlati<strong>on</strong> for<br />

the services requires detailed system study.<br />

Hence, Chhattisgarh State Electricity Regulatory Commissi<strong>on</strong> (CSERC) assigned this<br />

resp<strong>on</strong>sibility to M/s Electrical Research & Development Associati<strong>on</strong> (ERDA) to study various<br />

system data and system parameters of representative selected CPPs. ERDA has measured<br />

various system parameters like harm<strong>on</strong>ics, unbalance current, plant load factor, load cycle, fault<br />

level calculati<strong>on</strong>s etc. by measurement <strong>on</strong> selected CPPs and relevant substati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

ERDA has suggested working out the <strong>parallel</strong> operati<strong>on</strong> <strong>charge</strong>s <strong>on</strong> sound technical basis<br />

taking into c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong> advantages and disadvantages to both CPPs & CSEB.<br />

4.2 Grid Support Charges - Status across the Country<br />

Parallel operati<strong>on</strong> <strong>charge</strong>s in some of the states are levied in the name of grid support <strong>charge</strong> or<br />

stand-bye <strong>charge</strong>. These are as follows:<br />

Sr.No.<br />

Commissi<strong>on</strong>/<br />

utility<br />

5.0 TECHNICAL STUDY<br />

Rates of Parallel operati<strong>on</strong> <strong>charge</strong>s<br />

1 MPERC 25% of transmissi<strong>on</strong> <strong>charge</strong>s <strong>on</strong> arc inducti<strong>on</strong> furnaces, rolling mills<br />

to compensate for the ill effects of such loads<br />

2 RERC Parallel operati<strong>on</strong> <strong>charge</strong>s for capacity not dedicated to DISCOMs<br />

@ 5% of transmissi<strong>on</strong> <strong>charge</strong>s.<br />

3 PSERC Parallel Operati<strong>on</strong> Charges at the rate of Rs. 200 per kVA per<br />

m<strong>on</strong>th <strong>on</strong> 5% of the capacity of the captive plant capacity.<br />

4 J&K Rs.16/- per kVA per m<strong>on</strong>th <strong>on</strong> the installed capacity of the CPP<br />

5 CSERC Rs. 10/- per kVA <strong>on</strong> installed capacity of the CPP<br />

6 TNERC The <strong>parallel</strong> operati<strong>on</strong> <strong>charge</strong>s are 37% of the demand <strong>charge</strong>s<br />

7 UPERC The PoC <strong>charge</strong>s are same as normal HT tariff fixed <strong>charge</strong>s<br />

ERDA has c<strong>on</strong>ducted several measurements <strong>on</strong> ten of the selected captive power plants<br />

(CPPs) in the state to carry out the techno-ec<strong>on</strong>o1mic study. ERDA has carried out the study<br />

as per the following scope of work:<br />

5.1 SCOPE OF WORK<br />

(a) Critical analysis of various data and technical details of CSEB’s generati<strong>on</strong>, distributi<strong>on</strong> and<br />

transmissi<strong>on</strong> system and of captive power plants in the State.<br />
