(Decentralized Scheduling and Dispatch). RLDC can direct SLDCs/ISGSs in case of system contingencies, to change drawal/injection and if time permits, RLDC will ascertain whether situation has arisen due to => Deviations from schedule => Bilateral Exchange These can be terminated by RLDC.. All joint/bilateral agreements to be filed with RLDC/REB Secretariat.SEMs to be installed by CTU at all interconnection points for recording Actual Interchanges and MVARh drawals.. Regional Energy Accounting to be done by REB Sectt.based on metered and processed data (Actual net injection of ISGS and actual net drawal of each beneficiary) received from RLDC. SRLDC/Comml/IEGC/33

4. Settlement Systems*. Accounting on weekly basis. Capacity and Energy Charges billing on monthly basis Billing of adjustments for deviations on weekly basis RLDC to furnish data to REB Secretariat by Thursday noon for week ending Sunday. REB Secretariat to finalize and issue REA by Tuesday, for seven day period ending on penultimate Sunday. All data to be retained for 20 days (for RLDC & REB) for verification.

7. Scheduling Process Scheduling for the next day Every day by 10 AM, RLDC collects the foreseen plant-wise ex-power plant MW capability of ISGSs for the next day By 11 AM, RLDC advises SEBs, on a 15 minutes blockwise level, their entitled MW shares from each ISGSs’ availability By 3 PM, RLDC receives block-wise MW requisition from SLDCs and also the schedule of bilateral exchanges, if any By 5 PM, RLDC issues ‘despatch schedules’ for ISGSs and ‘net drawal schedules’ for SEBs, 15 minutes block-wise for the next day starting at midnight. Upto 10 PM SLDCs may inform any change of the above or bilateral exchanges to RLDC, if required by any new development during the day. At 11 PM Schedules are frozen for the next day. RLDC issues final drawal schedules to each State & Despatch schedule to each ISGS.

9. Scheduling Process Any change of schedule for the current day In case of any forced outage of a unit, or in case of any transmission bottleneck or in the interest of better system operation, RLDC may revise the schedules. The revised schedules will become effective from the 4 th time block. ISGSs and/or SLDCs may also revise their schedules during a day. The revised schedules will become effective from the 6 th time block.
