Implementation of the network code on requirements for grid connection of generators
Final report
Publication metadata
In May 2018, two years after the European Network Code Requirements for Generators (RfG NC) had been published, European Member States (MS) have been obliged to conclude the respective national implementations of their individual grid codes. Next to a set of binding grid connection requirements as so-called exhaustive requirements, fixed to all European member states, the RfG NC also introduced ranges on non-exhaustive requirements that had to be shaped by the member states in terms of their national implementations. Hence, in all over Europe, a full range of new grid codes is on stage, providing some challenges to all parties involved in the installation and operation of Power Generation Modules (PGMs), to manufacturers in terms of technology development and design of their equipment, to project developers in terms of electrical planning and grid code compliant commissioning processes and to system operators with respect to their newly defined obligations on ensuring grid code conformity. In addition to the national definition of non-exhaustive requirements, European MS also had to define three thresholds in terms of installed capacity of PGMs to be connected to the power grid in order to distinguish between four different type of PGMs (A, B, C and D). For each type, additional and different grid connection requirements will apply. Finally, in April 2019, the RfG NC entered into force – principally together with all national grid code implementations. However, delayed publication had to be encountered in some MS.
