Article 53 U.K. Compliance simulations for type D synchronous power-generating modules

1. In addition to the compliance simulations for type B and C synchronous power-generating modules set out in Articles 51 and 52, except for the simulation of fault-ride-through capability of type B synchronous power-generating modules referred to in Article 51(3), type D synchronous power-generating modules are subject to the compliance simulations set out in paragraphs 2 and 3. Instead of all or part of those simulations, the power-generating facility owner may use equipment certificates issued by an authorised certifier, which must be provided to the relevant system operator.

2. With regard to the power oscillations damping control simulation the following requirements shall apply:

(a) it shall be demonstrated that the power-generating module's performance in terms of its control system (‘PSS function’) is capable of damping active power oscillations in accordance with the conditions set out in paragraph 2 of Article 19;

(b) the tuning must result in improved damping of corresponding active power response of the AVR in combination with the PSS function, compared to the active power response of the AVR alone;

(c) the simulation shall be deemed successful if the following conditions are cumulatively fulfilled:

(i)

the PSS function damps the existing active power oscillations of the power-generating module within a frequency range specified by the relevant TSO. That frequency range shall include the local mode frequencies of the power-generating module and the expected network oscillations; and

(ii)

a sudden load reduction of the power-generating module from 1 pu to [F1 0.6] pu of the maximum capacity does not lead to undamped oscillations in active or reactive power of the power-generating module.

3. With regard to the simulation of fault-ride-through capability of type D synchronous power-generating modules, the following requirements shall apply:

(a) the power-generating module's capability to provide fault-ride-through in accordance with the conditions set out in point (a) of Article 16(3) shall be demonstrated;

(b) the simulation shall be deemed successful if compliance with the requirement laid down in point (a) of Article 16(3) is demonstrated.
