Project of Grid Code Compliance Testing for Wind Power Plant (WPP) Čibuk 1 assumed following activities:

  • Support in the process of obtaining necessary technical documentation regarding WPP Čibuk 1 which is requested by the Serbian Transmission System Operator - EMS AD, such as data related to measurement devices, SCADA systems, technical characteristics of GE2.75-120 wind turbines, WPP control possibilities
  • Development of detailed Test protocol in line with EMS’s “Grid Code compliance testing procedure for generation facilities”
  • Technical support during compliance testing
  • Validation of the simulation model of the entire WPP Čibuk 1 by comparing the responses obtained from actual testing with the responses obtained through software simulations.

Test protocol for WPP Čibuk 1 Grid Code compliance testing assumes following tests:

  • Relay protection test
  • Synchronization test
  • Active power control test (active power control, frequency control, active power ramp rate)
  • Voltage control test (voltage control, reactive power control, power factor control, reactive power capability)
  • Fault Ride Through capability test
  • Power Quality test
  • Signals, communication and control test

Type of services provided:

  • Support in the process of obtaining, systematization and delivery of the WPP technical documentation
  • Development of detailed WPP Test protocol
  • Technical support during the WPP compliance testing
  • Validation of the WPP simulation model
