Introduction NESO have been pushing for the majority of developers to carry out Sub Synchronous Oscillation (SSO) studies for all new generation systems connected to the network. This has always been the case for HVDC
Obtaining an ION from NESO is becoming a more and more challenging task. Historically this was driven primarily by construction completion and testing. In more recent years this is being driven by meeting the paperwork
Background A key question that has been causing some disagreement between DNOs and BESS operators is how to consider BESS units in terms of ramp rates, and the impact to the Step Voltage Change (SVC)
Introduction NESO is planning to introduce a new Grid Code modification, ‘GC0168 – Submission of Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) Models’. The aim of this modification is to require existing generators already connected to the network to
At Aurora Power Consulting we routinely carry out compliance studies for large Grid Scale projects. The process can be challenging, and also time consuming. NESO currently are allowed 15 working days to review each UDFS
Introduction The recent GC 0141 requirement introduced by NESO are creating significant challenges, costs and delays to the approval process, which is negatively affecting many renewable developers within the UK. The GC0141 requirements, have been
Ross Falconer, Head of Power Systems, Aurora Power Consulting Currently we are working on an innovation project with Northern Power Grid (NPG) to develop their policy for assessing voltage fluctuations on the grid caused by
Failure of a site to meet its required Registered Capacity in MW due to a shortfall in MVAr, is a major cause of delays, and disputes in the renewable energy sector. Such problems are easily
Introduction A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a brief post on our company website (Aurora Power Consulting) about EMT modelling, and it generated quite a bit of interest. This made me realise that unless
