The document summarizes the challenges faced in providing power to an exhibition using diesel generators after heavy rainfall caused flooding at the site. Key points: - The team worked to reduce the diesel generator order from 56.3MVA to 39.7MVA, achieving cost savings of 60 lacs INR. - Installing and commissioning 80 diesel generators within 3 days for the exhibition was a difficult task completed through team effort. - Heavy rainfall the night before the exhibition caused the site to flood, making the electricity infrastructure underwater and posing an "impossible task". - Through cooperation between teams, the exhibition was inaugurated on time despite the challenges, though some generator issues affected exhibitors initially.

2.  Things started with VELCA team. Particularly
with Mr. Chirag Shah and Mr. Hasit Trivedi
who introduced me and provided opportunity
to work in such a great event.
 When I joined connected load and DG
working was about to get over and order was
placed on GPPL.

3.  Connected load was 23.2MVA while DGs
order was around 56.3 MVA which was on
higher side due to incapability of supplier.
Our team was asked to bring it down
substantially.
 I have worked hard with Mr. Hasit Trivedi
and Mr. Dinesh Patel for different
combinations and back up quotes collected
from Mr. Chirag Shah.
 We came out with innovative solution.

4.  From 56.3 MVA ordering of DGs reduced to
39.7 MVA. By:
› Efficient DGs selection
› Synchronizing schemes and
› Some calculated risk
 Hard saving achieved of around 60 lacs
INR by new option and soft saving like
reliability and environment protection by less
diesel consumption was more than 40 lacs
INR achieved.

5.  Things were at 11th hour and to execute such a
huge power with 80 nos. of dgs ordering,
transportation, installation and commissioning,
testing and earthing was difficult task.
 Getting almost 230 nos. of earthings in 3 days
time, Vipul bhai’s team worked overnight and
Prajesh did fantastic job to complete daunting
task.
 Diesel management for these many dgs were
tough to handle where Mr. Vikrant did
tremendous job to made fuel available with
proactive approach.

6.  At site to co-ordinate with other agencies
were hard time where I got good support
from Mr. Mohsin particularly and VELCA
team arrived for Help.
 Things were about to get completed and a
night before worst dream came true…

7.  Its like cloud burst at site and situation was
like site was at water and mud…

8.  Its like cloud burst at site and situation was
like site was at water and mud…

19.  It was impossible task as all electricity items
were in water and electricity and water is like
enemy.
 We got great support from VELCA, GETCO,
MGVCL, Electrical Inspectors and different
contractors team arrived for immediate help.
 We made it possible to inaugurate exhibition
on time with some risk.

20.  Some risk of continuation of supply in that
situation, disturbed exhibitor AC and their
lights on first day.
 On ground all connection was verified for
RCCB and MCB protection which is very
important for human and installation safety
checked by Mohsin.
 We have faced some angry exhibitors for ac
and lighting and tried to provide things as
extended support.

21.  Bold decision taken from Mr. Hasit Trivedi & Mr.
Chirag Shah who ordered 3,000 mtr cables and
MCBs which got replaced over night.
 During whole event our team was continuously
engaged to run show and to provide best
service as a extended hand.
 After completion to get remaining diesel was a
big task which I and Mohsin completed by
working round the clock for 3 days.

22.  We faced some issues due to moisture in dgs
which we managed such a way that it did not
affect exhibition which includes:
› AVR failure of AC dgs of hall no. 8 & 9
› Fuel solenoid valve failure in AC of dgs of hall no. 8 &
9
› Belt breaking of lighting dg of hall no. 3
› Circuit breaker closing coil failure of air conditioning
of hall no. 1
› Hunting of DG of air conditioning in hall no. 8,9, 10 &
11

23.  We got recognized by Mr. Piyush Goyal for
our efforts..
