Types of Reserves
There shall be different levels of reserves such as primary, secondary and tertiaryfor the purpose of frequency control and regulating area control error. Thereserves shall be deployed by each control area connected with the grid.
Provision for primary reserve (governor droop response) shall be mandatoryas per this code. The primary response of machines shall be verified by theload despatch centres during grid events.
Secondary reserves (automatic generation control) shall be deployed by acontrol area as per this code.
Tertiary reserves shall be deployed by control area as per this code.
Any other type of reserves required to be deployed in the interest of gridsecurity as per the direction of the SLDC, RLDC or NLDC.
ESS reserves may be deployed by SLDC, RLDC or NLDC if requireddepending on the impact of variability of renewable generation and the needfor frequency control.
PRIMARY CONTROL: Primary response range of various types of generating Units:
^
Wind/ Solar/Hybrid plant commissioned after 31st March 2022 shall have the option to provide primary response individually through BESS or through a common BESS installed at its pooling station.
Fuel/ SourceMin. Capacity /Requirement to fall in
Primary Response purviewUpper ceiling limit (% of MCR)

CEA Regulations
B2. For generating station getting connected on or aftercompletion of 6 months from date of publication of theseRegulations in the Official Gazette.
“………….…
21 [“(2) The generating unit shall be capable of operating in the frequencyrange 47.5 to 52 Hz and be able to deliver rated output in the frequency rangeof 49.5 Hz to 50.5 Hz:Provided that in the frequency range below 49.90 Hz and above 50.05 Hz, or,as prescribed by the Central Commission, from time to time, it shall bepossible to activate the control system to regulate the output of thegenerating unit as per frequency response requirement as provided in sub-clause (4):Provided further that the generating unit shall be able to maintain itsperformance contained in this sub-clause even with voltage variation of up to±5% subject to availability of commensurate wind speed in case of windgenerating stations and solar insolation in case of solar generating stations.
Continued……. (CEA Regulation)
(4) The generating stations with installed capacity of more than 10 MW connectedat voltage level of 33 kV and above –
(i) shall be equipped with the facility to control active power injection inaccordance with a set point, capable of being revised based on directions ofthe State Load Dispatch Centre or Regional Load Dispatch Centre, as the casemay be;
(ii) shall have governors or frequency controllers of the units at a droop of 3 to6% and a dead band not exceeding ±0.03 Hz:
Provided that for frequency deviations in excess of 0.3 Hz, the GeneratingStation shall have the facility to provide an immediate (within 1 second) realpower primary frequency response of at least 10% of the maximumAlternating Current active power capacity;
Secondary Control
Secondary control is area-wise automatic generation control which regulates reserve powerto bring area control error close to zero (0), consequentially restoring the frequency.
Secondary control signals are generated at control centre (NLDC, RLDC, SLDC) as the AreaControl Error (ACE) deviates from zero (0) and transmitted to generating stations/unitswithin the control area jurisdictions for responding with desired change in generation.
ACE of each control area/region shall be calculated as per following formula:
ACE = (Ia - Is) - 10 * Bf * (Fa - Fs) + OffsetWhere,
Ia = Actual net interchange in MW (positive value for export)
Is = Scheduled net interchange in MW (positive value for export)
Bf = Frequency Bias Coefficient in MW/0.1 Hz (negative value)
Fa = Actual system frequency in Hz
Fs = Schedule system frequency in Hz
Offset = means provision for compensating measurement error
Area Control Error (ACE): meansthe instantaneous differencebetween a control area’s net actualand scheduled interchange, takinginto account the effects ofFrequency Bias and correction ofmeter error. Mathematically, it isequivalent to:
ACE = Deviation (∆P) + (Frequency Bias)
(K) * (Deviation from nominal frequency)
(∆f) + meter error;
Continued…..(Secondary control)
The secondary reserves through automatic generation control shall start responding within thirty (30)seconds of ACE of a particular control area going beyond the minimum threshold limit of +/- 10 MW.
The required secondary reserves through automatic generation control shall be fully delivered withinfifteen (15) minutes and shall be capable of sustaining for the next thirty (30) minutes thereafter.
Computation of Secondary reserve:
The secondary reserve capacity shall be computed by NLDC, RLDC, SLDC as per any of the followingmethodologies:
The positive and negative secondary reserve capacity for any control area for a financial year shall beequal to 99 percentile of positive and negative ACE respectively of that control area during the previousfinancial year,
OR
The secondary reserves capacity for any control area shall be equal to the 110 % of largest unit size in thatcontrol area plus load forecast error plus wind forecast error plus solar forecast error.
Provided that the All India secondary reserves capacity shall be equal to the reference contingency.
Continued…….
All India secondary reserves capacity fixed at reference contingency
NLDC would work out the minimum quantum of secondary reserves to be maintained at inter-state level (region-wise at regional entity generating station) and intra-state level for each controlarea.
States to keep reserve capacity one day in advance
The secondary reserves shall be maintained in regional entity generating stations for activationby RLDC/NLDC and Intra-state generating stations for activation by respective SLDC. EnergyStorage Systems (ESS) and/or demand response may also be deployed for providing adequatesecondary response.
Secondary control through automatic generation control shall be provided by generatingstations/ ESS.
Similar mechanism shall be implemented at state level for intra-state generating station. NLDC,RLDC or SLDC would indicate the short fall in secondary reserves and announce emergencyalerts for such periods.
Normal mode of operation of AGC would be tie-line bias control. NLDC may also operate selectregion/country automatic generation control on flat frequency control mode during anticipatedcongestion free period or flat tie-line mode.

Note 1: All states shall plan further UFR settings for frequency below 48.8Hz and df/dt load shedding schemes depending on their local loadgeneration balance. The same shall be coordinated and agreed by theconcerned RPC.
Note 2: Pumped storage hydro plants or ESS operating in pumping orcharging mode shall be automatically disconnected before the first stageof UFR.
Basis of UFR proposal
At present, there are four stages of Under-Frequency Load-Shedding(UFLS) relays which are set at 49.2 Hz, 49.0 Hz, 48.8 Hz, and 48.6 Hz inNR, WR, ER, SR, and NER. These settings were last raised in end 2013before synchronization of Southern region with rest of the grid.
In addition to UFLS relays, df/dt relays are also installed in NR, WR, andSR grids. In NR and WR df/dt relays are set to get armed at 49.9 Hz to shedload automatically if the rate of fall of frequency is faster than 0.1, 0.2, or0.3 Hz/s (i.e., three stages). In SR, however, the frequency at which UFLS isarmed and the rate thresholds are 49.5 Hz & 0.2 Hz/s, 49.3 Hz & 0.2 Hz/s,and 49.3 Hz & 0.3 Hz/s for the three stages, respectively.
The quantum of load shedding at each stage ofunderfrequency may be set in terms of percentage of totalload at regional as well as national level. The similarpractice is being followed in Continental Europe asbrought out in “Commission Regulation on establishinga network code on emergency and restoration.”
