DSM Regulation 2022

These regulations shall come into force on such date as may be
notified by the CERC separately

EEMG | TSTPS
DSM Regulation
Objective
These regulations seek to ensure, through a commercial mechanism that users of the grid do not deviate from and
adhere to their schedule of drawl and injection of electricity in the interest of security and stability of the grid.

Computation of Deviation
Deviation in a time block for general sellers shall be computed as follows:

Deviation-general seller (in MWh)

= [(Actual injection in MWh) – (Scheduled generation in MWh)].
Deviation-general seller (in %)
=100 x [(Actual injection in MWh) – (Scheduled generation in MWh)] / [(Scheduled generation in MWh)].

Deviation-WS seller (in %)

= 100 x [(Actual Injection in MWh) – (Scheduled generation in MWh)] / [(Available Capacity)].

DSM Regulation
Normal Rate of Charges for Deviations (NRCD)
For a time block, Weighted Average Ancillary Service Charge (in paise/kWh) computed based on the total
quantum of Ancillary Services deployed and the net charges payable to the Ancillary Service Providers for
all the Regions for that time block.

For 1year from the date of effect of these regulations,

normal rate of charges for deviation for a time block
= highest of [ the weighted average ACP of the DAM/RTM of all the Power Exchanges;
or the Weighted Average Ancillary Service Charge of all the regions] for that time block:

Reference Charge Rate (RCR)

in respect of a general seller whose tariff is determined under Section 62 or Section 63 of the Act, Rs/ kWh
energy charge as determined by the Appropriate Commission, (that is ECR)

DSM Regulation – Suggested Strategy for TSTPS
Situation Suggestion Remark
0-2% Deviation seems no loss/gain to the
Seller/Generator 1. Adhere to Schedule Generation
1. seller shall be paid back @ reference charge rate 2. Under injection up to 1% 1% Margin
(ECR) by the Seller for the quantum of Deviation by (9MW in Stg-1, 19MW in Stg-2) to be kept
Over Injection 3. Never Over Inject above the normative SG for SEM
2. Seller have to pay @ the reference charge rate (Transmission Charge applicable for over error
(ECR) for the quantum of Deviation by Under injection above the normative)
Injection

Note:
SEM and ABT Meter : Average error is 1-2 MW (in AG).
However, in some blocks the error is in the range of ± 30 to ± 50MW in Stage-1, ±50 to ±80 in
Stage-2. This will lead to more penalty in both over and under injection. (Previously the DSM rate
difference was less and DSM charge was Receivable as well as payable. So the total loss was getting
nullified)

DSM Regulation – Suggested Strategy for TSTPS
Situation Suggestion Remark
1. Adhere to Schedule Generation as close as
2%-10% deviation may arise due to 1st block 1%
possible
Ramping in SG.
2. 1st block and Direction change 1% ramping
1. Ramp Down leads to Over injection (@ 10%NRCD )
issue may be taken up with CERC to modify
2. Ramp Up leads to Under injection (@ 120% NRCD)
Ramp performance Guidelines
1. BTL or other outages which can be planed
>10% deviation may arise due to Unit Trip
may be availed by proper revision of DC.
1. Under Injection (@ 150% of NRCD ) (This will be
2. During Start up, DC should be declared
huge loss to the generators. )
very judiciously

Illustration (Unit Trip):

In 1 Unit Trip, DC revision will take 7-8 Blocks
MW loss is 470 MW (0.8225MU for 7 Block 0.94MU for 8)
DSM charge will be in the range of Rs 61L to Rs71 L (assume NRCD is Rs 5/KWh)
DSM charge will be in the range of Rs 123L to Rs141L (assume NRCD is Rs 10/KWh)
DSM charge will be in the range of Rs 182L to Rs211L (assume NRCD is Rs 15/KWh)

Charges for Deviation (Station Shutdown)
Drawl of power to run the auxiliaries during shut-down of a generating station shall
be payable at the normal rate of charges for deviation (NRCD).

Illustration:
Stage-1; if both are under shutdown,
Average APC is 10-12 MW (0.24-0.29MU/day)
DSM charge will be in the range of Rs 24L to Rs28 L (assume NRCD is Rs 10/KWh)

Charges for Deviation - Precautionary Suggestions
Proper DC Declaration will depend on
•Adherences the Scheduled maintenance (PM Job)
•Reliability of Equipment availability
•Proper Coal yard management and maintaining uniform Coal Quality

Welcome any other suggestions......
