The Grid Code offers a mechanism for providing such services. . The objective of producing the NEA Grid Code is to specify rules, regulations and technical as well as operating requirements that each Grid User must meet to ensure quality of power supply, security and reliability of the Power System, The document also defines obligations and responsibilities of the TSO and all other parties using the Grid. It is not that NEA is working without such norms and procedures, it's just that these need to be streamlined, well documented and revised if necessary to cater to the requirements of| today's more liberalized power sector that will eventually also embrace trans-border Grid Users besides IPP's and private Distributors. ‘ Presently, the national Grid comprises of some 1566 km of 132 KV and 418 km of 66 kV lines. The TSO owns the entire Grid in the country except for some 103 km of privately, ‘owned lines. NEA will soon be introducing 220 kV voltage lines in the Grid, These are being constructed as part of the 220 kV national Grid but will be initially charged at 132 KV. ‘To manage its Grid, the TSO is served by three departments, each headed by a director with the General Manager at the helm. The Transmission Line/Substation Construction Department is responsible for development of transmission lines, Once the facilities are commissioned, they are handed over to the Grid Operation Department, who act as Grid Owner for the purposes of the Grid Code, for operation and maintenance. The work of] managing the operation of the entire power system in the country is entrusted to the System Operation Department, which owns the Load Dispatch Center. Transmission as well as generation and distribution planning remains a comporate function and these are presently being undertaken by the System Planning Department of the NEA. The NEA Grid Code is an intemal document and lacks the authority of the law. Hence, full compliance by non-NEA Grid Users is not assured. His Majesty's Government's Hydropower Development Policy, 2001, envisages upgrading the existing Tariff Fixation Commission to a full fledged energy regulatory commission. One of the primary tasks of this Commission will be to develop and enforce the Nepal Grid Code. Once enacted and promulgated, the Nepal Grid Code will supercede the NEA Grid Code and all Grid Users. including the NEA will be required to comply with its provisions. without any exception, ‘Until this is realized, NEA shall abide by the NEA Grid Code in its entirety and endeavor to bring non-NEA parties into the purview of this Grid Code. Efforts have been made to keep the Grid Code simple, user-friendly and yet comprehensive enough so that by the time the Nepal Grid Code comes into force the NEA Doe.

At the same ‘time, the Grid Code has set various performance targets that will gradually enhance the performance of the Grid over a period of time, The Grid Owner is required to accomplish these performance targets within a fixed time frame specified in the Grid Code. NEA's Grid is still in its infancy and as it evolves, new requirements will need to be incorporated in the Grid Code and existing ones amended. If all revisions are to be approved by the NEA Management, their enforcement will take a considerable period of time. In order to facilitate swift enforcement, the NEA Grid Code recommends a three tier approval system comprising of the NEA Management (Board), the Grid Code Management Committee and the General Managers/Deputy Managing Directors. Each Clause or Sub-Clause in the Grid Code is labeled with one of the three tiers. The Grid Code is concerned with the operation, maintenance and development of the Grid and does not offer details on designs or operation of generating plants or distribution systems except where compatibility of Equipment at the Connection Point is mandatory and operational efficiency of the Grid is likely to be adversely affected. ‘The entire NEA Grid Code is organized in following eleven Chapters: Chapter 1 of the Grid Code deals with the effectivity of the Grid Code, It also provides definitions of special terms used in the Grid Code. ‘Chapter 2 of the Grid Code deals with the setting up of a Grid Code Management Committee to enforce and monitor compliance of the Grid Code, This Committee should have a wide representation of the stake holders so as to minimize potential conflicts. Formation of various sub committees for planning and Grid operation is also discussed. It also specifies procedures for dispute resolution and the approval process for revision of the Grid Code. Chapter 3 of the Grid Code describes the types of study to be conducted for Grid planning and the criteria to be adopted in these studies. The Grid planning subcommittee will assist the System Planning Department in these studies Chapter 4 of the Grid Code stipulates the minimum standards to be maintained by the System Operator regarding quality and reliability of supply in the Power System. It also specifies safety standards for protection of personnel working in the Grid. Some of these standards are governed by the Electricity Regulation, 2050 (1993), pursuant to Electricity Act, 2049 (1992) and any revision thereto. This Chapter also provides performance targets to be achieved by the Grid Owner on availability of the Grid and energy loss in the transmission network. These targets are based on the Performance Contract signed between the TSO General Manager and the NEA Management. Chapter 5 of the Grid Code lays down the technical requirements of the Equipment and the User Systems at the Connection Point. It specifies procedures for processing a Grid Connection request, which include conducting Grid Impgct-Studies and testing the Ec ti Koo tes iquipment prior to energizing the Connection. ig Page 2 of 3 Doc. No. 000004/IPPNepal Electricity Authority Introduction NEA Grid Code [Chapter 6 of the Grid Code is about managing the’ operation of the Grid through coordination of Generation Outage and Grid Outage programs and adopting various techniques for controlling grid voltage and frequency to ensure an efficient and reliable Power System. It also provides safety procedures and measures to be adopted by cach Party at the Connection Point when working in this area. Chapter 7 of the Grid Code establishes the rules, procedures and requirements for real time dispatch and contro! of generation scheduling, including ancillary services, in order to ensure efficiency, security and reliability of the Power System. This Chapter also talks about procedures and various techniques to tackle emergency conditions in the Power System. Chapter 8 of the Grid Code covers the types of test to be performed on Equipment installed by Generators and other Grid Users to assess their compliance with their guaranteed data and the procedures for carrying out these tests. This Code applies only to those Tests which affect the Systems of the Grid Owner and Users and/or the System of ay Extemally Connected Party but not to the Tests which have no effect on the Grid. Chapter 9 of the Grid Code ‘sets out the technical requirements for metering and the technical standards for metering Equipment. Procedures for meter reading and maintenance of metering equipment are also presented in this Chapter. Chapter 10 of the Grid Code discusses specific exemptions from the Grid Code, that are granted to the Grid Owner and Users as well. Some of the requirements stipulated in the Grid Code cannot be met immediately but they have been incorporated with the sole purpose of improving the System over a period of time. Such requirements are treated as transitory provisions, wherein the relevant Party is required to make necessary arrangements to meet these provisions within the stipulated dead line. Chapter 11 of the Grid Code is devoted entirely to report preparation; It includes details on the types of report required, the agency responsible for their preparation, the recipient of the report and the submission time. The Grid Code also includes the following four Appendices: Appendix A provides details of Standard Planning Data and information required to be submitted to the System Operator by various parties. Appendix B lists Detailed Planning Data and information required to be submitted to the ‘System Operator by various parties. Appendix C incorporates time schedules for submission of various data, information and reports, Appendix D includes sample formats for providing data required under various provisions of the Grid Code. Appendix E includes sample application formats for providing data required fos Grid Connection under various provisions of the Grid Cade.“ - Doc.
