The company agrees to pay the Current Consumption deposit before effecting supply to the wind mill. The additional current consumption deposit as well as other amounts that are required to be deposited from time to time shall be deposited by the company forthwith on demand by the board. Otherwise, the supply to the windmill shall be cut off without further notice. 8. The company agrees that the starting current of the Wind Mill shall not exceed the full load current of the machine and to provide the necessary current limiting devices like thyrisor during starting 9. The company agrees to provide sufficient capacity of capacitors in its wind mill installation to minimize the drawl of reactive power from the boards gird and the capacitors should get cut off automatically so that the power factor shall be maintained always above 0.85 and to control the voltage regulation within 12% of the rated voltage at the point of supply. 10. The company agrees to provide suitable automatic device so that the windmills should cut out automatically when the grid supply fails. 11. The Board will not relax the staggering of the loads (by giving two phases supplies during peak load period / particular hours in a day) to the feeders in which the windmills of the company are installed. 12. The maintenance of the windmills and equipments including the transformer, switch gear and protection equipments etc. shall be done by the company at its cost to the satisfaction of the Superintending Engineer of Tirunelveli Electricity Distribution circle.

In case of unsymmetrical fault on HV Bus, the generators are bound to share the fault current according to impedance in the circuit. To meet such contingency and for safe operation of generators, the company agrees to provide the following scheme of protection. (a) Separate overload relay on each phase and earth fault relay are to be installed by the company. It is further agreed that under no circumstances, these relays should be by passed. (b) With suitable CT and relay connections, the load sharing by the generators and Board should be limited to their rated capacity (c) Adequate indication and control metering for proper paralleling of the generators on the HV bus should be made available. (d) Functioning of the relays should be calibrated and tested by competent authorities and report maintained (e) The drawing for the parallel operation of the Wind Electric Generator with boards grid should be got approved by the Chief Electrical Inspector to Government of Tamil Nadu. 19.
