1. Tariff in Incentive is calculated as per CERC order 26.09.2000 Methodology All elements are grouped into following catagories 1.AC Transmission lines = AVo 2.ICTs= AVq 3.Switched Bus Reactors = AVs 4.HVDC lines =AVp 5.HVDC back to back =AVt 6.SVC=AVr

2. Availability of each category is calculated based on the Weightage Factor,Total hours under consideration and non available hours for each element of that category. ° ° Availability of o No of AC lines = Σ Wi(Ti-Tnai)/ Σ Wi = AVo i=1 i=1 Where Wi = Weightage factor for ith transmission line Ti = Total hours of ith AC line Tnai= Total non availability hours for ith AC line Wi = Surge Impedance loading * Circuit Kms For inter regional lines, 50% of the weighted factor is taken for each region. For HVDC pole – The Rated MW capacity * circuit km

3. For ICT - The rated MVA capacity For switched bus reactor – The rated MVAR capacity For HVDC back to Back connecting two regions – 50 % of the Rated MW capacity of each block to each region. Overall Availability of Region % System Availability : o*AVo + p*AVp+q*AVq+r*AVr+s*AVs+t*AVt -------------------------------------------------------------- * 100 o + p+q+r+s+t

Signature analysis of Transmission Lines

5. Important : Outage of element causing Generation loss shall deemed to be twice the actual outage period for that element. Mis-declaration / submission of incorrect data shall be treated as twice the actual outage time. HVDC back to back and AC lines are considered as One element Outage of elements due to earth quake, cyclone, Grid disturbance,Act of god such as floods are considered as Natural calamities. Lines restored on ERS is considered as deemed available

6. The Availability of Transmission system is calculated in (%) Percentage as follows: (2001-2002 of SRTS-I) Ta =Total available time in hours for all Lines = 17*24*365 =148920 To=Total outage time in hours Attributable to POWERGRID for all Lines = 395.39 Hours Availability in percentage (%) = ((Ta-To)/Ta*100 Availability in percentage (%) = (148920-395.39)/148920*100 = 99.74 %

7.
