Saturday, July 18, 2009 NLDC NRLDC ERLDC WRLDC SRLDC NERLDC Grid Management | Print Preview | For overall improvement and better grid management in the country, POWERGRID has modernised all the Regional Load Dispacth Centres (RLDCs) with the state-of-the-art Unified Load Despatch & Communication (ULDC) schemes at a cost of about Rs. 2,000 Crore. These modernised RLDCs are greatly contributing to bring quality and economy in the operation of the power system besides improving data availability, visibility and transparency. With the adoption of state-of-the-art operational practices, proactive preventive maintenance, implementation of ABT, the modernization of RLDCs coupled with training & deployment of expert manpower and round the clock vigil for grid management, no major grid disturbances in the country have been encountered for the last 5½ years. Further, tripping of lines and minor grid disturbances in regional grids have come down so significantly that it can be reckoned as a benchmark achievement. For overall co-ordination, National Load Despacth Centre (NLDC) at Delhi,with back up at Kolkata, has been successfully commissioned on 25 February 2009 and running satisfactorily POWERGRID has spearheaded the implementation of Availability Based Tariff (ABT) across the country, which has a built-in commercial mechanism to reward proper grid behaviour. This has significantly stabilised vital grid parameters, i.e. voltage and frequency thereby improving the quality of power. Last Modified Date : 4/9/2009
