CHAPTER IIIRESTORATION PLAN

SECTION 4 Resynchronisation

Article 34Resynchronisation strategy

1.

Prior to the resynchronisation, the resynchronisation leader shall:

(a)

establish, in accordance with the maximum limits referred to in Article 32:

  1. (i)

    the target value of the frequency for resynchronisation;

  2. (ii)

    the maximum frequency difference between the two synchronised regions;

  3. (iii)

    the maximum active and reactive power exchange; and

  4. (iv)

    the operating mode to be applied on the LFC;

(b)

select the resynchronisation point, taking into account the operational security limits in the synchronised regions;

(c)

establish and prepare all necessary actions for the resynchronisation of the two synchronised regions at the resynchronisation point;

(d)

establish and prepare a subsequent set of actions to create additional connections between the synchronised regions; and

(e)

assess the readiness of the synchronised regions for resynchronisation, taking into account the conditions set out in point (a).

2.

When carrying out the tasks enumerated in paragraph 1, the resynchronisation leader shall consult the frequency leaders of the involved synchronised regions and, for the tasks listed in points (b) to (e), it shall also consult the TSOs operating the substations used for resynchronisation.

3.

Each frequency leader shall inform the TSOs within its synchronised region of the planned resynchronisation without undue delay.

4.

When all conditions established in accordance with point (a) of paragraph 1 are fulfilled, the resynchronisation leader shall execute the resynchronisation by activating the actions established in accordance with point (c) and (d) of paragraph 1.
