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.

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 up to UI rate (Paise per KWh) Average Frequency of time block 50.5 Hz. and above 0.0 Below 50.5 Hz. and upto Hz.5.6 Below Hz. and upto Hz Below Hz Between 50.5 Hz. and Hz.

SOUTHERN REGIONAL ELECTRICITY BOARD ABT based U.I. Account FOR THE PERIOD to A. ABSTRACT OF UNSCHEDULED INTERCHANGES ( UI figures in Rs. Lakhs)
NOTE: 1. Revised UI rates w.e.f. 1/10/2004 vide CERC (Terms and Conditions of Tariff) (First Amendment) Regulations MAPS & KGS not covered under ABT; hence UI reduced to zero, under all conditions. 3. UI for Talcher STPS Stage-II has been calculated at ER frequency. 4. IR Exchanges: i) Metering points – For WR it is Chandrapur South Bus. - For ER it is Gazuwaka East Bus & Talcher stage I&II I/C bus. ii) UI for IR exchanges with ER has been calculated at SR frequency as per the decision taken in Special TCC meeting held at Bangalore on iii) UI charges with WR and ER has been taken as first charge, as per decision taken in Special Committee meeting held on
