Some salient features of State Electricity Grid Code(SEGC):

Frequency variation : Rated frequency of the system 50 HZ. and shall normally be controlled within the bandwidth of 49 to 50.5 HZ Voltage Variation : Shall not be more than Voltage range specified in IE Rules. Sub-Station Equipment :All equipment shall be designed, manufactured, tested as per IEC / BIS standard. Each Connection between an agency and STS shall be controlled by a circuit breaker capable of interrupting at the connection point.
WBSEDCL

Protection :
Protection systems are to be provided by all entities as specified by STU. Requires to isolate the faulty equipment and protect the other equipments against all types of faults internal / external within specified fault clearance time with reliability, selectivity and sensitivity. Relay Setting Coordination shall be done by STU STU shall arrange periodic meeting with the entities to discuss coordination of protection.

Requirements of Generating Unit:

A generating unit shall be capable of continuously supply its normal rated active / reactive out put with specified system frequency and voltage variation. Generating Unit shall be provided with an AVR, Protective and safety devices. All Generating Units and associated Electrical Equipment connected to State Grid shall be provided with adequate protection so that State Grid does not suffer due to any disturbances. Each Generating Unit shall be fitted with a Turbine Speed Governor having an over all droop characteristic within the range of 3-6 % . Each Generating Unit shall be capable of instantaneously increasing out put by 5% limited to 105% MCR when frequency falls.

Transmission Line Requirements :

Every EHT line taking off from generating station or a substation shall have distance protection and back up protection. For 132 KV lines three-zone non-switched distance protection with suitable back-up protections to be used.

WBSEDCL

Distribution line requirements: All 33 KV and 11 KV lines at connection point shall be provided with minimum of over current and earth fall protection with or without directional features as. Transformer requirements : For transformers of HV class differential protection shall be provided for 10 KVA and above. For transformers of 2.5 MVA to less than 10 MVA time lag over current, earth fault and instantaneous REF relays. All transformers of 2.5 MVA and above shall be provided with gas operated relays, winding temperature and oil temperature protection.
