The Indian power grid operates on a strict grid code. If WBPDCL generates more or less power than what was scheduled, it causes frequency fluctuations. Under the Deviation Settlement Mechanism (DSM), commercial penalties are imposed for under-injection or over-injection of power. Real-time tracking allows plant operators to adjust turbine governors instantly to match schedules and avoid heavy penalties. 2. Merit Order Despatch (MOD) compliance
WBPDCL operates several critical thermal power stations across West Bengal. Real-time monitoring allows the central load dispatch center to see exactly how much each facility is contributing at any given second. Kolaghat Thermal Power Station (KTPS)
