Settlement System under ABT Regime

WHAT IS SETTLEMENT ?

• “ Settlement means finalisation of payment bill after consumption”• To be FAIR and EQUITABLE• To RECOVER DUES at the EARLIEST

(Billing Cycle)• TRANSPERANCY• Dispute Resolution• Reconciliation

AVAILABILITY TARIFF(ABT)(a) CAPACITY CHARGE(b) ENERGY CHARGE(c) ADJUSTMENT FOR DEVIATIONS

(UI CHARGE)

(a) = a function of Ex-bus MW avilability of power plant for the day declared before the day starts x SEB’s % share

.(b) = MWh for the day as per ex=bus drawal schedule for the

SEB finalized before the day starts x Energy charge rate

(c) =Σ(Actual energy interchange in a 15 min time block – scheduled energy interchange for the time block) x UI rate for the time block.

TOTAL PAYMENT FOR THE DAY =(a) + (b)± ( c)

Capacity charge:

Capacity charge is based on Annual Fixed Charge and will be related to availability of generating station. Availability means the readiness of the generating station to deliver ex-bus output expressed as a percentage of its rated ex-bus output capability.

Energy charge:

Energy charge is related to the scheduled ex-bus energy to be sent out from the generating station and will be worked out on the basis of paise per KWh.

Settlement Systems* On weekly basis : For seven day period ending on penultimate Sunday

•RLDC to furnish Scheduling & Metering data to REB• Sectt. by Thursday noon

•REB Sectt. to issue Weekly UI a/c by Tuesday

•Pool a/c operated by RLDC•Settlement for UI on weekly basis•All accounts open for 20 days

On monthly basis : REB to issue REA specifying % Avb, % Net Entitlement, % Energy charges, Wt. Avg. Ent. for Tr. Ch. etc.

Capacity and Energy Charges, Incentive etc. –billed directly by ISGS based on REA issued by REB

SEB-A’s scheduled drawl for time block = a1’+a2’+a3’ = a’ MW (ex-CGS Bus)

SEB-A’s NET drawal schedule = (a’ – Notional Transm. Loss) MW

Actual (metered) net drawal of SEB-A during time block = A MWH

Excess drawal by SEB-A = (A-A’) MWh.

Amount payable by SEB-A for this = (A-A’) * pool price for the block.

Variations in actual generation/drawal and scheduled generation /drawal are accounted through UI. This is a frequency linked charge which is worked out for each 15 minute time block.

Charges for all UI transaction, based on average frequency have following rate of paise per KWh from 01.01.03 up to 31.03.04.
