Petition for approval of capital schemes FY 2011-12/12-132. INTRODUCTIONChhattisgarh State Power Generation Company Limited (CSPGCL), a successor company ofChhattisgarh State Electricity Board (CSEB) is for undertaking the „generation function‟ of CSEBfrom 01.01.2009 in accordance with Transfer Scheme notified by State Government.CSPGCL is supplying 100% of power generated by its power stations to Chhattisgarh PowerDistribution Company Limited (CSPDCL) at the tariff decided by Chhattisgarh State ElectricityRegulatory Commission (CSERC). Chhattisgarh State Electricity Board (CSEB) was a part ofthe erstwhile Madhya Pradesh Electricity Board (MPEB) till 2000. It became a separate entity onthe formation of the State of Chhattisgarh. The board functioned as an integrated entity tillDecember 2008 when the State Government notified a transfer scheme for unbundling it. Thetransfer scheme resulted in the formation of five successor entities for undertaking the functionsof the erstwhile board. Chhattisgarh State Power Generation Company Limited (CSPGCL) isone of the five successor entities, formed for undertaking the „generation function‟ of CSEB.CSPGCL started operations on 1 st January 2009.CSPGCL’s Generation PortfolioApproximately 98% of CSPGCL‟s generation capacity (1900 MW) is located in Korba. Details ofCSPGCL‟s plants have been provided in the following table.Details of Installed capacity for CSPGCL as on 1 st April 2011NO. NAME OF PLANT YR OF COMM.

It issubmitted that despite their age, the plants have performed well, meeting most operationalbenchmarks set by Chhattisgarh State Electricity Regulatory Commission, however, at thesame time it may be appreciated that the old plants need fair degree of capital investment tomaintain their operational worthiness and to take care of statutory and safety requirements.Page 4 of 46

Petition for approval of capital schemes FY 2011-12/12-13Business PlanThe Business plan in compliance of the provisions of Chhattisgarh State Electricity RegulatoryCommission‟s (Terms & conditions of determination of tariff according to Multi-year tariffPrinciples) Regulations, 2010 for the control period FY 2010-11 to 2012-13 was submitted inMarch 2010. Hon‟ble Commission passed its order on the same in June 2010. The petition andthe order, encompassed issues related to New projects, Renovation & Modernisation schemesand capital O&M and civil schemes.Hon‟ble Commission has desired that capital O&M and capital civil projections shall besubmitted plant wise and scheme wise. CSPGCL, on its part craved leave for such submissionon year to year basis as ascertainment of such needs in 2/3 year advance has got practicallimitations. Considering the issue, Hon‟ble Commission ordered as under :“2.56 Further, CSPGCL has stated that it is not possible to forecast such schemes forFY 2011-12 and FY 2012-13 in advance. Therefore, the Commission is not inclined toapprove the investment in advance amounting to Rs. 113.06 Cr and Rs. 119.52 Crenvisaged for FY 2011-2012 and FY 2012-2013 respectively. CSPGCL mayseparately submit scheme wise details for approval of the Commission under capitalO&M and capital civil for FY 2011-12 and FY 2012-13.”Further, while approving the schemes for 2010-11, Hon‟ble Commission disallowed anyprovision for contingencies and instead provided:“ 2.57. The Commission has also disallowed the contingency provision of Rs 10 Crproposed for unforeseen capital nature work and is of the view that CSPGCL mayapproach the Commission with specific scheme for contingency works for itsapproval. The contingency work done due to emergency may be allowed by theCommission for capitalization after prudence check.”It is also submitted that qualifying an expense as normal O&M expense or Capital O&Mexpense may not be subjected to a “Laxman Rekha” test. Such discretion pass through narrowmargins and sometimes the discretion may need review in the backdrop of details related to thecase. Probably in the same spirit, while disallowing certain schemes, the Hon‟ble Commissionordered:“2.55. Capital O&M and capital civil schemes not approved by the Commission areshown in Annexure – 2. CSPGCL may get these schemes implemented under normalO&M expenditure, if found necessary. However, if CSPGCL is convinced that a fewof these schemes should come under capital O&M and capital civil schemes, thenthey may approach the Commission with detailed justification.”In view of the all the above aspects, proposals have been categorized in three segments &submitted herewith for approval by the Hon‟ble Commission.Page 5 of 46

Petition for approval of capital schemes FY 2011-12/12-133. CAPITAL INVESTMENTS IN EXISTING PLANTSCivil SchemesCSPGCL incurs capital expenditure for a variety of civil works that are undertaken at the plantsand the residential colonies for its employees. The broad heads under which capital expenditureoccurs under civil schemes is as follows:• For Ash Ponds or Ash utilisation (includes erection of new Ash Bunds/ raising of height ofexisting Ash Bunds for disposing ash, utilisation of Ash in filling low lying areas, structuralworks etc.)• Investment in basic infrastructural work.• Increasing green cover at power plants and in nearby areas as per PCB or Governmentdirectives to ensure environment protection.Capital O&M schemesThe generation function is a technology intensive and capital intensive function. Capitalinvestments are essential for smooth and efficient operation of the plants. Some times due tochange in technology, the existing equipment become obsolete and arranging spares for theexisting equipment become extremely difficult. Some times equipments need replacement inorder to meet the economical and energy saving operation. At other occasions some majorequipment need replacement on completion of their useful life as may be prescribed by themanufacturer / as per standard industry practice. Further, at times there are changes in lawsuch as emission standards prescribed by the Pollution Control Board, which require certaincapital investment. All these investments have been covered under the Capital head. Further asper CEA guideline (para 4.3.1 of Guidelines for R&M/ LE Works Oct‟09) , the expenditure onsuch replacement which have a useful period of less than five years are to be covered asroutine repair and maintenance activity. Due care has been taken that none of the scheme fallunder this criterion.Considerable effort has been made to prepare the scheme wise details and reasonability of thesame has been ensured through rigorous internal discussions and deliberations. As a resultant,fresh civil schemes worth only about Rs. 34.48 Cr. are being proposed and new Capital O&M isbeing restricted to only 48.50 Cr. as against last year approved schemes amounting Rs. 35.11cr. (total cost) for Civil and Rs.50.06 cr. for O&M .It is submitted that the estimates shall not betreated as the ceiling limits. Leave is also craved for submission of additional schemes as andwhen such exigencies arrive. The instant values indicate the minimum capital investment toensure economical, smooth and efficient operation of the plant.Page 6 of 46

Petition for approval of capital schemes FY 2011-12/12-13Apart from the above new schemes, it is also submitted that the estimated cost of the alreadyapproved schemes have also been updated. Respecting the direction by the Commission thatlooking to the high Capex plan in the instant control period, the company shall endeavour torestrict the capital expenses to bare minimum level essential for smooth, safe and efficientoperation, CSPGCL has deferred execution of even some of the approved schemes for timebeing and the time being requirement is being met through repair works instead of majorreplacement. It may be appreciated that cost mentioned against the schemes are estimatedcost and may like to change during implementation. Hence CSPGCL may be allowed to executethe scheme on actual cost and variation in cost shall subsequently be submitted to the Hon‟blecommission for setting off tariff.Renovation & Modernisation Scheme :Apart from capital O&M & civil schemes, generating plants need to take up renovation &modernisation (R&M) work for better and safe operation of the plant. In this respect CSPGCL issubmitting scheme for augmentation, maintenance & up gradation of Fire Safety/Protectionsystem for Coal handling plant, HTPS, Korba West amounting Rs. 15.60 Cr. Project report isenclosed as Annexure - IV4. THE PROPOSALSThe chapter provides information on the quantum of investment that will be undertaken byCSPGCL during FY 2011-12 on capital O&M / Civil works. It is to submit that considering thetime required in procurement and manufacturing of engineering intensive items, investment maypartly spread to FY 2012-13. Proposals have been compiled on plant wise scheme wise basis,however based on the nature of proposals they have been bifurcated into following heads:• New Schemes for capital O&M work (including emergency works) - Annexure- I• New Schemes for capital Civil work (including emergency works) - Annexure -II• Update on already approved schemes - Annexure-III• New Scheme for R&M work (Project Report) - Annexure -IVApart from the above the CSPGCL submits that there are two critical schemes which areessential to ensure uninterrupted generation at Korba East and Korba West. These schemesrelate to the raising of Ash pond from 340 mtr to 343 mtr at Lotlota HTPS Korba West (costingRs. 1.7 Cr.) and 3 rd stage raising of Podimar ash bund Phase –II, Podimar A& B at KTPS KorbaEast costing Rs. 3 crs. These schemes are expected to be completed by Mar 2014 and work onthe schemes shall start in 2012-13. As no expenditure is expected in the FY 2011-12, hencethese schemes have not been included in the above proposals. However at the same timelooking to the criticality and importance of ash dumping system (as is evident from the NTPCKorba crisis) it is imperative for the utility to initiate planning and administrative work in advance.Page 7 of 46

Petition for approval of capital schemes FY 2011-12/12-13Petitioner humbly request that commission may kindly accord in principle approval to take upthese schemes forthwith.Financial projections of CapexAs per historical trend, the Civil and Capital O&M schemes are expected to be funded entirelyfrom internal accruals. However, subject to suitable market conditions, CSPGCL may exercisedebt financing as applicable under the relevant regulations. For above schemes, no grant isexpected from any source.5. PRAYER :-In light of the above submissions, it is prayed that the Hon‟ble Commission may kindly allow theproposals summarised at para 4 „Proposals‟ of the petition. Further looking to the unpredictablenature of such works leave is also craved for additional submissions as and when suchexigencies arise.CSPGCLThroughPlace : RaipurDate : ……(S.K.

Expected to be implemented inFY 11-12/ 12-1350Existing CGL breakers are 20 years old & giving frequentproblems, hence replacement is essential.29 The existing system installed at Unit No.2 in 1995 hasbecome obsolete and it is difficult to maintain the samedue to non availability of spares. It is necessary to replaceit with latest suitable system.20 O2 analyzer is required for ensuring proper compliance ofpollution control norms. Last year Hon'ble Commission hasalready approved need of such analyzers for PH II for 15lakhs. If approved, expected commissioning for one unitis FY 11-12 and the other will be in 12-13. Amountindicated is for one unit.120 The loco was purchased in 2007. There are 6 motorsinstalled. Normally one motor and one alternator needs tobe procured as initial spare for any eventuality, however atthe time of procurement no spare motor/ alternator waspurchased Instant proposal is deferred procurement ofinitial spare (one motor & one alternator) .Now looking tothe service rendered the spare motor/ alternator is a mustotherwise in any eventuality, the loco may go out ofservice. As there is only one loco of 1400 HP, in case ofoutage, shunting and timely unloading of rack may geteffected, which may cause hindrance to coal supply to theplant.Page 11 of 46

Petition for approval of capital schemes FY 2011-12/12-13NEW CAPITAL RENOVATION & MODERNISTAION SCHEMEAnnexure –IVPROJECT REPORT FOR FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM OF INTERNAL COALHANDLING PLANT AT 4X210 MW UNIT #1 TO 4, HTPS, KORBA WEST.01. DESCRIPTION:The site for 4x210MW Korba West Thermal Power is located in the district of Bilaspur inChattisgarh at a distance of about 15 km from Korba Railway Station. The Korba Railway station is on theChampa-Korba-Gervra Road section of the South Eastern Railway. A broad gauge railway line with asiding connects existing power station on the East Bank with Korba Railway station is existing and can beutilized for transporting material. The site is about 6 Kms from the existing Power House No II situated onthe eastern bank of Hasdeo River and is connected by an all weather road interlinked with the state &National High ways.The Power Stations unit # No. 1 to 4 of 210 MW was commissioned in the year from 1982 to 1986.As per the Project report of the DCPL, the consultant for the then MPEB, has summarized the FireProtection system in their “Detailed Project Report”, which are reproduced as belowThis system has been designed considering four (4) nos. 210 MW units. The hydrant systemconsists of a large network of pipes, both underground and over-ground, which feeds pressurized waterto outdoor and indoor hydrant valves. These hydrant valves are located throughout the entire powerstation and also at strategic locations within power house and other buildings. Hose pipes of suitablelengths, fitted with standard accessories like branch pipes, nozzles etc, are kept in the hose houses. Incase of fire, these hoses are coupled to the hydrant vales and water jet is directed towards the fire. Waterin the complete hydrant system as well as in the H.V Sprinkler system is kept pressurized by automatichydro pneumatic water pressuring arrangement consisting of a jockey pump, air compressor and hydropneumatictank. In the event of fire taking place when the hydrant valves are opened in any part of thenetwork, the fall in the header pressure will bring the pumps into operation automatically to supply waterto the hydrant system. Failure to start the pump on demand shall result in further fall in header pressureand this shall actuate the next pump to start automatically and soon. Thus an automatic sequentialstarting arrangement has been incorporated in the system design. Pumps can also be started manually incase of emergency but can be stopped only manually.02. BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM HISTORYThe implementation towards the aforesaid schemes of augmentation/Up-gradation of fire safety system ofTransformers & cable vault galleries inside the power plant was initiated by the erstwhile MPEB on thePage 31 of 46

PROBLEMSAs Per the recommendations of planning commission and as emphasized by Central ElectricityAuthority for implementation of fire protection system as per prevailing practice at Thermal Power Stationwas initiated by erstwhile MPEB. But the same could not be implemented and the order was short closed.As per Central Electricity Authority and IS-3034-1993, clause No. 8.12.2.6, stipulate the provisions of FireSafety /protection systems of “Coal Handling Plant”.Accordingly to implement the aforesaid system of Fire Protection system in Internal CoalHandling Plant as per the advanced & latest requirement in line with the IS/NFPA/Tariff Advisorycommittee {TAC} has been considered to protect the fire Hazard as per factory rules in Thermalpower station of HTPS Korba West.It is pertinent to mention here that implementation of fire protection system is necessary to avoid /minimise loss of men & material in the event of fire. Further recently in the month of March 2010Page 32 of 46

Petition for approval of capital schemes FY 2011-12/12-13implementation of the this system has been committed to the Vidhansabha of Chhattisgarh in responseto the Dhyanakarshana suchna no. 365.04. ENGINEERING SOLUTIONAs technology advances and older plants venture into the 21 st century, plant upgrades areessential. These upgrades include the reliable, fast response and trouble free fire protectionsystem along with plant‟s fire and hazard detection to ensure the earliest possible detection ofany potential hazards in Coal Handling Plant. In Brief these systems are as below :-(A) For all coal conveyors, the following system is to be provided ,Medium Velocity Water Spray System for coal conveyors toprotect both forwarding and return belt of both sides.Fire Detection and alarm system with Linear Heat Sensing Cable.(B) For Transfer Points the following system to be provided,05. ESTIMATED COSTWater curtain system.Sounder cum Flash light sensor(C) For Control Room, the following system to be providedFire Detection and alarm system by providing Smoke sensors withelectronic hooterConsidering base year 2011-12 the estimated cost based on budgetory proposalcomprising of various system requied for the fire safety/ protection system of Coal HandlingPlant at 4x210 MW Korba West HTPP, is Rs. 15,59,73,039/- say Rs. 15.60 cr. (Rs. Fifteen CroreFifty sixty lakhs Only).06. COST ANALYSIS & BENEFITSThe cost estimates based on the budgetary proposal comprising of various systemsrequired for the Fire safety/Protection System of Coal Handling Plant at 4x210 MW KorbaWest HTPP is Rs. 15,59,73,039/- (Rs. Fifteen Crore Fifty Nine Lac Seventy Three ThousandThirty Nine Only).No direct cost benefit, the provision of Automatic fire protection system shall ensure thereliable, fast response and trouble free fire protection system along with plant‟s fire and hazarddetection to ensure the earliest possible detection of any fire hazards. Thus, the valuableequipments of the Plant and operating personnel neargy shall be protected from fire hazard.Since the requirement of the Fire Protection systems is statutory as per the factory act, guidelinesof CEA and Planning commission, direct cost benefit analysis in terms of Pay Back period couldnot be drawn.Page 33 of 46
