To reliably and efficiently wheel electricity for domestic consumption and export

STRATEGIES
1. Develop National Grid and tie-lines for export of electricity

Measure Targets Initiatives Ans.
System
Study 		Establish
base case model with fully reconciled network and
load data by 2007		 Interaction
with all generating companies as well as Indian
grid coordinator for true data of the Indian interconnections
Establish system of reporting for new lines/ substations
for timely update of system data
Compute line parameters for various types/ configurations
of lines in the system and reconcile with existing
data		 TD,
EDD
Simulation
of multiple operating conditions with a view to
establish adequacy of existing network for export/
augmentation for both export and internal tie-line
establishment		 Establish
feasibility of East – West interconnection
through Tsirang- Gelephu tie- line (2008) Other
studies with Punatsangchhu and Mangdechhu (2008)
with alternative interconnections		 Data
collection of Dagachhu, Punatsangchhu and Mangdechhu

Prepare Load growth scenarios like industrial
Estates at Gelephu, Samtse, etc.

TD,
EDD
Study system performance for future load scenarios with reference to the internal generation capability (seasonal) and propose measures for generation-load match for system operator guidelines by 2007

2. Establish System Operator functions and to contribute to the National wealth through optimal load dispatch planning

Measure Targets Initiatives Ans.>
System
Coordination Setup		 Fully
functional by 2007. 		Training
for the system coordinators
Follow-up & encourage employees designated as
system coordinators to take ownership & commitment
of the system
Setup Database 		TD, EDD
System
Operator Functions		 Fully
functional by 2009		 Establish
NLDC		 TD



3. Ensure efficient and reliable system performance

Measure Targets Initiatives Ans.
Streamline
Operation & Maintenance procedures for Lines
& Substation		 Establish
benchmark for i) forced maintenance of lines and
substation ii)system reliability, iii) plan for
up-gradation and new investments including contingency
requirements by 2008, Introduce Hotline Maintenance
by 2008		 Develop
O&M manuals
Carry out outages analysis to establish present
level of reliability		 EDD, TD
