GRID CODE COMPLIANCE SERVICES
Technical Requirements
Grid Code Testing covers various aspects of power plant operation. It includes; fault ride-through capability, power quality, protection coordination, system stability, voltage and frequency response. These tests are conducted to verify the power plant’s ability to maintain grid stability providing reliable power supply and meet the requirements outlined in the grid code.
The purpose of grid code testing is to ensure that power plants integrate seamlessly with the electrical grid and operate in compliance with the established regulations. By undergoing grid code testing power plants demonstrate their reliability, adherence to standards, ability to contribute to the stable and efficient operation of the overall power system.

Interconnection Requirements
Interconnection Requirements
Interconnection requirements for power plants outline the technical specifications and guidelines for connecting the power plant to the electrical grid. These requirements ensure the safe and reliable integration of the power plant with the existing transmission as well as the distribution of the infrastructure. Here is a description of key aspects typically covered by interconnection requirements:
Synchronization
The interconnection requirements specify the procedures and criteria for synchronizing the power plant’s output with the grid’s voltage and frequency. This ensures that the power plant can operate in parallel with the grid without causing disturbances or instability.
Grid Connection Standards
The requirements define the technical standards and specifications that the power plant must meet to connect to the grid. This includes parameters such as voltage levels, frequency range, power factor and other electrical characteristics.
Protection and Safety
Interconnection requirements address the protection and safety measures necessary to protect both the power plant and the grid. This involves specifying the types and settings of protective devices, such as relays and circuit breakers, to detect and isolate faults and ensure system stability.
Communication and Control
The requirements outline the communication and control protocols that enable effective coordination between the power plant and the grid operator. This includes data exchange, monitoring and control systems to facilitate grid management and response to grid events.
Grid Code Compliance
Interconnection requirements often incorporate elements of the grid code that the power plant must adhere to. This guarantees that the regulations are being followed related to voltage and frequency response, power quality, fault ride-through and other grid performance parameters.

COORDINATION OF TECHNICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS
COORDINATION OF TECHNICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS
During the process of evaluating the technical requirements of the network code for generation plants, there are many entities and departments involved in the process. Both on the side of the authority and on the side of the plants help coordinate the technical and administrative requirements of the process.
Our company creates power system models in PSSE & EMTP to assess compliance with grid code requirements. It encompasses the representation of power plants, transmission lines, transformers, loads, and other system components, as well as the implementation of control and protection systems. PSSE & EMTP modeling provides valuable insights into power system behavior and helps power plant operators understand their compliance status. It facilitates the identification of potential issues, aids in system planning, and supports decision-making for grid code compliance enhancements.
