Analysis of the Tariff Order Parameters of Large Hydro Power Generating Plants

The main objective of this paper is to study the variations of the different parameters included in the tariff regulations of the Large Hydro Power Generating Plants. The data from various sources, primarily found on the central government site CERC has been carefully segregated, recorded and further partitioned into five sections based on their practical and mathematical applicability, namely Returns and Interests, Expenses, Depreciation, Auxiliary Consumption and Transmission Norms. The tariff regulations considered under this project are CERC 2004, CERC 2009, CERC 2014, CERC 2019, APERC 2017 and RERC 2019. The data from individual states, depending upon their availability, have been recorded in a similar manner, respectively. They were plotted graphically and tabulated to generate a detailed analysis of their trends and the differences were provided for better understanding and the preemptive prediction of the same parameters.
