The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission has issued new guidelines to supplement the Deviation Settlement Mechanism (DSM) Regulations 2022 to maintain grid security. The Commission has added a new category of wind-solar generators and introduced charges for DSM. Further, it has also hiked monetary incentives for both generators and procurers to maintain the grid frequency between the safe range of 49.95-50.05 Hz. The Commission said there is an urgent need for the system operator to estimate and procure adequate reserves and deploy them prudently to avoid frequency fluctuations and help maintain grid frequency.
