An increasing number of independent power producers (IPPs), such as wind, pv or conventional power plants, are connecting to public transmission and distribution grids. Grid connection contracts with grid operators include obligations to comply with performance requirements set out in the relevant grid codes. These grid codes will typically specify the expected behaviour of the plant during network disturbances, requirements for support of the steady-state and dynamic stability of the grid, and obligations relating to ancillary services provision and power quality. Non-compliance with these grid code requirements can result in payment reductions or even disconnection from the grid as well as conflicts between the parties involved.
