computations
Transfer Capability Definitions
North American Electric Reliability
Corporation’s (NERC) definition of TTC
• The amount of electric power that can be moved or
transferred reliably from one area to another area of the
interconnected transmission systems by way of all
transmission lines (or paths) between those areas under
specified system conditions……….16-Mar-2007(FERC)
•
As per 1995 document of NERC, following conditions need to be
satisfied:
– all facility loadings in pre-contingency are within normal ratings and
all voltages are within normal limits
– systems stable and capable of absorbing the dynamic power swings
– before any post-contingency operator-initiated system adjustments
are implemented, all transmission facility loadings are within
emergency ratings and all voltages are within emergency limits”

European Network of Transmission System Operators’
definition of Total Transfer Capability (TTC)
• “TTC is that maximum exchange programme between
two areas compatible with operational security
standards’ applicable at each system if future network
conditions, generation and load patterns were perfectly
known in advance.”
• “TTC value may vary (i.e. increase or decrease) when
approaching the time of programme execution as a
result of a more accurate knowledge of generating unit
schedules, load pattern, network topology and tie-line
availability”
6
Total Transfer Capability as defined in the
IEGC and Congestion charge Regulations
• “ Total Transfer Capability (TTC)” means the
amount of electric power that can be transferred
reliably over the inter-control area transmission
system under a given set of operating conditions
considering the effect of occurrence of the worst
credible contingency.
Available Transfer Capability as defined in the
IEGC and Congestion charge regulations
• “ Available Transfer Capability (ATC) ” means the
transfer capability of the inter-control area transmission
system available for scheduling commercial transactions
(through long term access, medium term open access
and short term open access) in a specific direction,
taking into account the network security. Mathematically
ATC is the Total Transfer Capability less Transmission
Reliability Margin.

Relevance of Transfer Capability
in
Indian Electricity Market
Open Access in Inter-state Transmission
Regulations, 2008
• 3( 2) The short-term open access allowed after
long / medium term by virtue of– (a) inherent design margins;
– (b) margins available due to variation in power flows;
and
– (c) Margins available due to in-built spare
transmission capacity created to cater to future load
growth or generation addition.]

7.3 Other issues in transmission
(2)
All available information should be shared with the
intending users by the CTU/STU and the load dispatch
centres, particularly
information on available
transmission capacity and load flow studies.
Open Access Theory & Practice
Forum of Regulators report, Nov-08
“For successful implementation of OA, the
assessment of available transfer capability
(ATC) is very important. A pessimistic
approach in assessing the ATC will lead to
under utilisation of the transmission system.
Similarly, over assessment of ATC will place
the grid security in danger.”
13
Declaration of Security Limits
• “ In order to prevent the violation of security
limits, System Operator SO must define the
limits on commercially available transfer capacity
between zones.” CIGRE_WG_5.04_TB_301
• “System Operators try to avoid such unforeseen
congestion
by
carefully
assessing
the
commercially available capacities and reliability
margins.” CIGRE_WG_5.04_TB_301
14
Reliability Margin
NERC definition of Reliability Margin
(RM)
•
Transmission Reliability Margin (TRM)
– The amount of transmission transfer capability necessary to provide
reasonable assurance that the interconnected transmission network will
be secure. TRM accounts for the inherent uncertainty in system
conditions and the need for operating flexibility to ensure reliable system
operation as system conditions change.
•
Capacity Benefit Margin (CBM)
– The amount of firm transmission transfer capability preserved by the transmission
provider for Load-Serving Entities (LSEs), whose loads are located on that
Transmission Service Provider ’ s system, to enable access by the LSEs to
generation from interconnected systems to meet generation reliability
requirements. Preservation of CBM for an LSE allows that entity to reduce its
installed generating capacity below that which may otherwise have been
necessary without interconnections to meet its generation reliability requirements.
The transmission transfer capability preserved as CBM is intended to be used by
the LSE only in times of emergency generation deficiencies.
16
Quote on Reliability Margin
from NERC document
• “The beneficiary of this margin is the “larger
community” with no single, identifiable group of
users as the beneficiary.”
• “The benefits of reliability margin extend over a
large geographical area.”
• “They are the result of uncertainties that cannot
reasonably be mitigated unilaterally by a single
Regional entity”
17
ENTSOE definition of Reliability Margin
• “ Transmission Reliability Margin TRM is a security
margin that copes with uncertainties on the computed
TTC values arising from
– Unintended deviations of physical flows during operation due to
physical functioning of load-frequency regulation
– Emergency exchanges between TSOs to cope with unexpected
unbalanced situations in real time
– Inaccuracies in data collections and measurements”
18
Reliability margin as defined in Congestion
charge regulations
• “Transmission Reliability Margin (TRM)” means
the amount of margin kept in the total transfer
capability necessary to ensure that the
interconnected transmission network is secure
under a reasonable range of uncertainties in
system conditions;
Distinguishing features of Indian
grid
• Haulage of power over long distances
• Resource inadequacy leading to high uncertainty in adhering to
maintenance schedules
• Pressure to meet demand even in the face of acute shortages and
freedom to deviate from the drawal schedules.
• A statutorily permitted floating frequency band of 49.5 to 50.2 Hz
• Non-enforcement of mandated primary response, absence of
secondary response by design and inadequate tertiary response.
• No explicit ancillary services market
• Inadequate safety net and defense mechanism
20
Reliability Margins- Inference
• Grid Operators’ perspective
– Reliability of the integrated system
– Cushion for dynamic changes in real time
– Operational flexibility
• Consumers’ perspective
– Continuity of supply
– Common transmission reserve to take care of contingencies
– Available for use by all the transmission users in real time
• Legitimacy of RMs well documented in literature
• Reliability Margins are non-negotiable

Independent of Parallel flow
Dependent on flow on the parallel path
Transfer Capability is less than transmission
capacity because
• Power flow is determined by location of injection, drawal
and the impedance between them
• Transfer Capability is dependent on
–
–
–
–
–
Network topology
Location of generator and its dispatch
Pont if connection of the customer and the quantum of demand
Other transactions through the area
Parallel flow in the network
• Transmission Capacity independent on all of the above
• When electric power is transferred between two areas
the entire network responds to the transaction
77% of electric power transfers
from
Area A to Area F
will flow on the transmission path
between Area A & Area C
Assume that in the initial
condition, the power flow from
Area A to Area C is 160 MW on
account of a generation dispatch
and the location of customer
demand on the modeled
network.
When a 500 MW transfer is
scheduled from Area A to Area F,
an additional 385 MW (77% of
500 MW) flows on the
transmission path from
Area A to Area C, resulting in a
545 MW power flow from
Area A to Area C.
Assessment of
Transfer Capability
Transfer Capability Calculations must
• Give a reasonable and dependable indication of transfer
capabilities,
• Recognize time variant conditions, simultaneous transfers,
and parallel flows
• Recognize the dependence on points of injection/extraction
• Reflect regional coordination to include the interconnected
network.
• Conform to reliability criteria and guides.
• Accommodate reasonable uncertainties in system conditions
and provide flexibility.

Determination", North American Electric Reliability Council, Princeton, New Jersey, June 1996 NERC

Europe
• Increase generation in one area and lower it in the other.
• A part of cross border capacity is withdrawn from the
market to account for
– Random threats to the security of the grid, such as loss of a
generating unit. This capacity is called as Transmission
Reliability Margin (TRM)
– TRM based on the size of the biggest unit in the synchronous
area and the domestic generation peak of a control area.
• Net Transfer Capacity = TTC – TRM
– published twice a year (winter and summer)
United States
• The commercial capacity available for market
players is calculated by deducting Transmission
Reliability Margin (TRM) and Capacity Benefit
Margin (CBM) from Total Transfer Capability
– TRM is set aside to ensure secure operation of the
interconnected transmission network to accommodate
uncertainties in system operations while CBM is set
aside to ensure access to generation from
interconnected systems to meet generation reliability
requirements.

45
(n-1)--Element or event ?
• Difference exists in n-1 criteria in planning and
operating horizon
– Tower collapse/lightning stroke on a D/C Tower.
– Two main one transfer scheme-Failure of opening of
400 kV Line breaker
• In practice-Results in multiple loss in elements
• As per planning criteria- not more than two elements should be
affected
– Coal fired station
• Fault in 132kV system- may result in loss of power supply to
CW system vis a vis tripping of multiple units
46
(n-1)--Element or event ? … contd
• Non availability/Outage/Non operation of Bus bar protection
– Results in tripping of all lines from remote stations
• Weather disturbance or floods
– Might result in loss of substation/multiple lines in the same corridor
• Breaker and a half scheme
– Outage of combination of breakers may result in tripping of multiple
line for a fault in one line
47
Regulatory initiatives
• Modifications in Grid Code & other regulations
– Frequency band tightening
– Cap on UI volume, Additional UI charge
– Inclusion of new definitions (TTC, ATC, Congestion)
• Congestion Charge Regulation
– Congestion Charge Value, Geographical discrimination
– Procedure for Assessment of Transfer Capability
– Procedure for Implementation of Congestion Charge
48
Suggestions for improving transfer capability-1
• installation of shunt capacitors in pockets prone to high reactive drawal
& low voltage
• strengthening of intra-state transmission and distribution system
• improving generation at load centre based generating stations by R&M
and better O & M practices
• avoiding prolonged outage of generation/transmission elements
• reduction in outage time of transmission system particularly those
owned by utilities where system availability norms are not available
Suggestions for improving transfer capability-2
• minimising outage of existing transmission system for
facilitating construction of new lines
• expediting commissioning of transmission system-planned
but delayed execution
• enhance transmission system reliability by stregthening of
protection system
• strengthening the safety net- Under voltage load shedding
schemes, system protection schemes

Ancillary Services in the Indian context
Definition………………(1)
• As per IEGC, 2010
“Ancillary services in power system (or grid) operation means
services necessary to support the power system (or grid)
operation in maintaining power quality, reliability and security of
the grid, e.g active power support for load following, reactive
power support, black start etc”
• The Appellate Tribunal for Electricity,
judgment in appeal no.202
“Ancillary services are those functions performed to support the
basic services of generation, transmission, energy supply and
power delivery. Ancillary services are required for the reliable
operation of the power system.”
Definitions………..……(2)
 “Ancillary services are those functions performed to support the
basic services of generation, transmission, energy supply and
power delivery. Ancillary services are required for the reliable
operation of the power system.”… Clause 30, order no.205 dated
13th December 2006, The Appellate Tribunal for Electricity
 “Ancillary services are those functions performed by the
equipment and people that generate, control, transmit, and
distribute electricity to support the basic services of generating
capacity, energy supply, and power delivery.”….Electric Power
Ancillary Service, Eric Hirst and Brendan Kirby
 “necessary to support the transmission of electric power from
seller to purchaser given the obligations of control areas and
transmitting utilities within those control areas to maintain
reliable operations of the interconnected transmission
system”….FERC
