This project involved a comprehensive power system evaluation for integration of a two × 800 MW ultra supercritical thermal power plant with the transmission network. The study aimed to ensure compliance with operational, regulatory, stability and security requirements for grid integration.

The scope included load flow modelling, grid interconnection feasibility assessment and scenario analysis to evaluate system performance with and without the proposed generation. Contingency assessments were carried out under N minus one and N minus two conditions. Additional studies included short circuit analysis, dynamic studies, generator stability assessment, critical clearing time evaluation, and reactive power and voltage variation analysis. A detailed line protection impact assessment was carried out for existing 400 kV and 220 kV protection schemes.

TCE's Scope

TCE carried out load flow modelling, grid interconnection feasibility assessment and scenario analysis for integration of two × 800 MW generation. The scope included contingency analysis, short circuit studies, dynamic studies, generator stability assessment, critical clearing time evaluation, reactive power and voltage variation analysis, and line protection impact assessment for 400 kV and 220 kV systems. Consolidated reports, mitigation recommendations and an uncompromised load flow model were prepared.

Impact

The study supported secure integration planning for two × 800 MW of new generation by validating transmission adequacy, voltage performance, stability margins and protection impacts. The outcomes strengthened readiness for reliable and secure grid interconnection through scenario-based evaluation and practical mitigation recommendations.
