It’s a tool for determining the usage cost for the CTU’s/ISTS network for generators(GENCOs) & loads(DISCOMs).The tool was developed when CERC cost & loss allocation regulation came in enforcement in 2010. Subsequently, CERC made some amendments in 2020 and came up with a revised regulation. The current software is in line with this revised regulation

4.Synchrophasor Analytics for Electrical Transmission Systems

The primary aim of the project was to develop analytics to process synchrophasor data, streaming into an energy control center, in real time. Eight applications viz., linear state estimation, detection of vulnerability of distance protection, synchrophasor supervised secure remote backup protection system, line parameter estimation, CT and CVT calibration, schemes for controlling angular instability, oscillation mode identification and static security assessment were developed. The analytics were prototype, tested in the field and finally deployed to work with one of the largest installation of WAMS in the world. It employed extensive high performance sparse matrix computing, database management for large data, working with  standard communication protocols like IEEE C37.118-2 and Modbus. GUI front end for user interaction in control centre environment was developed.
