DMRC seeks inclusion in Delhi's islanding scheme
Advt DMRC request and official response Further studies and next steps By , ETInfra The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation DMRC ) has sought inclusion in the 'islanding' scheme of Delhi Transco Limited (DTL) to ensure uninterrupted operations in case of a power grid failure , officials told the power sector, 'islanding' refers to a mechanism that allows a part of the power grid to continue supplying electricity to critical establishments during DMRC is not part of DTL's revised Islanding Scheme , 2023, despite carrying about five lakh commuters during peak hours. In a recent meeting of the Operation Coordination Committee (OCC), it renewed its request to be incorporated into the to an official document seen by PTI, 'The DMRC requested DTL to revise the Islanding Scheme, 2023, to incorporate provisions for uninterrupted power supply to DMRC substations, thereby ensuring operational continuity during grid disturbances or failures.'The State Load Dispatch Centre (SLDC) informed the meeting that the 765 kV Narela sub-station is under commissioning and expected to be energised by August 2025. It was agreed that the islanding scheme would need review after the sub-station becomes SLDC noted that DMRC's traction load is 'highly variable', with peak demand occurring at different intervals. This variability, it said, poses challenges to the stability of the islanding DMRC was asked to confirm whether traction load has been included in islanding schemes of other states and to examine alternative backup power solutions for operational resilience during grid OCC directed a detailed study on the revised islanding scenario after the Narela sub-station was energised. DMRC was urged to propose a workable solution to manage its traction load to enable its integration into the scheme.

Delhi Metro not included in scheme for fail-safe against power outage, makes fresh bid for ‘islanding'
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has launched a fresh bid to be included in the Delhi Transco Limited's (DTL's) 'islanding' scheme so the operations of the national capital's transport lifeline can be safeguarded in case of grid failure. DTL issued a revised 'Islanding' Scheme, 2023, but the Delhi Metro was not included in it. (X/Peter Chirkov) DTL issued a revised Islanding Scheme 2023 but the Delhi Metro was not included in it. This is despite nearly 5 lakh commuters using the service during peak hours daily. 'Islanding' is a term used in the power sector for a safety mechanism that allows a part of the affected power grid to continue to supply electricity to critical establishments. According to an official document quoted by news agency PTI, DMRC launched a fresh bid to be included in the scheme during a recent meeting of the Operation Coordination Committee (OCC). "The DMRC requested DTL to revise the Islanding Scheme, 2023, to incorporate provisions for uninterrupted power supply to DMRC substations, thereby ensuring operational continuity during grid disturbances or failures," said the official document. The State Load Dispatch Centre (SLDC), Delhi, said that the 765 kV Narela sub-station is currently under commissioning and expected to be energised by August 2025. It was agreed in the meeting that the Islanding Scheme needs to be reviewed accordingly, the officials said. What made DTL keep Delhi Metro out of the 'Islanding' Scheme in the first place? The SLDC pointed out in the meeting that DRMC's traction load is "highly variable," leading to peak loads occurring at different intervals. This variability poses a challenge to the scheme's stability and sustainability. The DMRC was advised in the meeting to confirm whether traction load has been considered in the islanding schemes of any other state. The officials quoted in the PTI report said it was also asked to explore and analyse alternative backup power solutions to ensure operational resilience in the event of grid failure. The OCC also directed a detailed study on the revised 'islanding' scenario after energisation of the Narela sub-station. The DMRC was urged to propose a feasible solution to manage its varying traction load, enabling its integration into the islanding scheme without compromising system stability.
