 ABSTRACT

A substation is a part of an electrical generation, transmission, and distribution system. Substations

transform voltage from high to low, or the reverse, or perform any of several other important
functions. Between the generating station and consumer, electric power may flow through several
substations at different voltage levels. A substation may include transformers to change voltage
levels between high transmission voltages and lower distribution voltages, or at the
interconnection of two different transmission voltages. Substations may be owned and operated by
an electrical utility, or may be owned by a large industrial or commercial customer. Generally,
substations are unattended, relying on SCADA for remote supervision and control.
In my industrial training in 400kV receiving end substation, Jejuri I gone through the working,
maintenance and operation of substation. First I got information about company history, types of
substation, machines installed and Facilities provided by industry
I would like to express my deep sense of gratitude and thanks to Mr. Rajendra Gaikwad (Chief
Engineer) , Mr. Prashant Chaudhary (HR)[MSETCL main office Rasta peth], Mr. Rupesh
Gaikwad (Executive Engineer)[400kV RS division Jejuri] for giving me this opportunity.
I would like to express my deep sense of gratitude and thanks to Mr. Anil Rakh , Mr. Kale
(Assistant Engineers ) , Mr. Nevase , Mr. Krishna Reddi (Maintenance Engineers) , 400kV RS
Division Jejuri . Without the wise counseled able guidance, it would have been impossible to

 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company (abbreviation: Mahapareshan
Mahatransco or M.S.E.T.C.L) is a public sector company wholly owned by the
Government of Maharashtra.

Mahapareshan Company came into existence in June 2005 after the reorganization of the
erstwhile Maharashtra State Electricity Board. Mahapareshan Company is responsible for
the transmission of electricity from the place of generation to the distribution center. For
this Mahapareshan Company was formally constituted. Mahapareshan Company is
working on various measures to ensure safe transmission of electricity, minimum loss of
electricity and balanced load.

For this, Mahapareshan has set up a comprehensive transmission system in the state. This
involves the use of power lines of various capacities, their towers, poles, etc. It also
includes the construction of transformers, power receiving stations, power substations,
etc. at various places to convert electricity into loads and maintenance of all of them,
establishing offices for management, training centers for employees, etc. Considering all
these aspects, Mahapareshan has become the largest state transmission company
providing transmission services in the whole of India. Today, the total length of power
lines of Mahapareshan Company is a whopping 46217.90 circuit kilometers. 1 lakh 4
thousand 377 m along with the number of 660 ultra high capacity power substations of
the company. that. A. This is the transmission capacity.

Through this infrastructure service, Mahapareshan Company is continuously doing the

work of electricity (conduction) transmission throughout Maharashtra. It also provides
services in neighboring states of Maharashtra state. To keep this entire system working,
Mahapareshan has 2 load dispatch centers 559 etc. in its jurisdiction in the state of
Maharashtra. H. V. Sub- centres, reception centres, offices under seven circles, circles,
departments, construction departments, warehouse centers, telecommunication

1
departments, training centers etc. are functioning. The company manages and maintains
this system. Also, the company is planning expansion plans and implementing them by
predicting the future increasing power generation and the needs of the public.

High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Scheme-

One of the unique features of Mahapareshan Company is that Mahapareshan Company is
the only State Government owned High Voltage Direct Current System in the country.
The company is successfully operating 46217.90 circuit km long bi polar power
transmission system from Chandrapur in eastern Maharashtra to Padghe near Mumbai.
The capacity of this system is 3582 May. and A 500 kV bipolar is as big as it is.
Successful operation of this system is one of the hallmarks of Mahapareshan Company's
work. Because there are coal mines in the eastern part of Maharashtra, coal which is the
main means of power generation is easily available there. Therefore, there are power
generating stations at Chandrapur, Koradi, Khaparkheda. The highest demand and
consumption of electricity is in Mumbai- Pune- Nashik area. Electricity is increased in
this demand area. Transmission loss of electricity during transmission in ultra high
current system is minimal. So the amount of electricity is sent from Chandrapur. About
the same amount of electricity is coming here.
Dispatch Centers

Operation, monitoring and control of power transmission system is done through load
dispatch center. This center is the heart of the transmission system. Kalwa near Mumbai
and Ambazari at Nagpur are State Despatch Centers of Mahapareshan Co. The work of
despatch center is fully computerized. Also, the latest technology is used there.

 CHAPTER 4:TRANSMISSION SUBSTATION
A transmission substation connects two or more transmission lines. The simplest case is where
all transmission lines have the same voltage. In such cases, substation contains high-voltage
switches that allow lines to be connected or isolated for fault clearance or maintenance. A
transmission station may have transformers to convert between two transmission
voltages, voltage control/power factor correction devices such as capacitors, reactors or static
VAR compensators and equipment such as phase shifting transformers to control power flow
between two adjacent power systems.
Transmission substations can range from simple to complex. A small "switching station" may be
little more than a bus plus some circuit breakers. The largest transmission substations can cover a
large area (several acres/hectares) with multiple voltage levels, many circuit breakers, and a
large amount of protection and control equipment
(voltage and current transformers, relays and SCADA systems).

 CHAPTER 6: PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION

1. Line compensation (Load Management)-

Transmission lines have to transfer power with voltage drop less than 10 %. Most of the loads
connected to the system absorbs positive (lagging) VARs .The flow of reactive power in a
transmission line causes voltage drop. Also it increases I2R losses.

The maximum VARs transferred over the line are fixed by the voltage profile. At the time of peak loads, the
VAR demand of load exceeds the maximum VAR limit specified. Due to this the system voltage at some of
the buses becomes lower than nominal voltage. Hence the additional equipment is connected to the system
which can generate lagging VAR to meet the reactive power requirement of load and maintain the voltage at
various buses within specified limits.
During light loads the lagging VAR produced by lines are much more than required by loads. The
additional equipment provided to absorb or generate VARs is called as reactive power
compensating equipment.

The supply voltage must be with range of 380kV to 420kV if supply voltage goes beyond this range
the substation must inform to LDC (Load Dispatch Center) to take required action for line
compensation and prevent load shading.

A daily hourly reading log sheet is maintained to record all readings of the substation. These
readings are also send to LDC at Kalwa Mumbai by fiber optic.

Fig 6.1: RTU IED panel

11
 Balancing Of Load (Methods For Line Compensation):
Active power is from supply. Reactive power is from capacitor bank.

Generator supplies active power. Generator is used in condenser mode to increase reactive power

During over voltage condition-

I. Reactor Bank
II. Inductive
mode of generator During under

voltage condition-

I. Capacitor Bank
II. Condenser mode of generator

LTS – Load Trimming Scheme :

Automatically load is cut at 370kV. Load shading is done when supply voltage goes below
370kV as supply should be ±10% of 400kV to prevent tripping of grid generator and avoid
blackout. Load forecasting and scheduling of load is performed for easier load balancing.
Distribution company gives demand schedule and generation company gives generation
schedule to LDC (Load Dispatch Center). A block of 15 minutes is forecasted using these
schedules.

12
 1. Outage for maintenance –
Maintenance is performed on Thursday and when fault has occurred in an equipment or in
transmission line.

Example of faults that may occur –

I. Tripping of circuit breaker due to fault in transmission line which is detected by relay
system. (breaking of conductor, short circuited due to external object, etc)
II. Temperature sensors not working properly (not able to detect change in temperature).
III. Fire in main tank of transformer.
IV. Cracking of insulator in lightning arrestor
V. Breaking of insulator

Outages is required for maintenance to be performed on equipment like ICT and CB.
Maintenance is also performed on connectors of isolators and earthing switches , main bus ,
isolators of main bus but these maintenance can be performed without taking outage instead
complete supply is transferred to other main bus.
When maintenance is performed a permit must be issued for working on the equipment or
transmission line for both receiving and sending end. This permit is issued by LDC by giving
same password to both ends which is not public. The permit issue time must be reported to LDC
from both ends. The permit ensures that outage has be performed and the line and equipment is
safe for workers to work safely. After the maintenance is completed successfully the circuit
must be reclosed to operate. The reclosing of circuit takes place after matching the passwords on
both ends of transmission. The reclosing time must be reported to LDC.
