PD IEC TS 63102:2021

This standard PD IEC TS 63102:2021 Grid code compliance assessment methods for grid connection of wind and PV power plants is classified in these ICS categories:

• 27.160 Solar energy engineering
• 27.180 Wind turbine energy systems

This technical specification highlights recommended technical methods of grid code compliance assessment for grid connection of wind and PV power plants as the basic components of grid connection evaluation. The electrical behaviour of wind and PV power plants in this technical specification includes frequency and voltage range, reactive power capability, control performance including active power based control and reactive power based control, fault ride through capability and power quality.

Compliance assessment is the process of determining whether the electrical behaviour of wind and PV power plants meets specific technical requirements in grid codes or technical regulations. The assessment methods include compliance testing, compliance simulation and compliance monitoring. The input for compliance assessment includes relevant supporting documents, testing results and validated simulation models, and continuous monitoring data. The scope of this technical specification only covers assessment methods from a technical aspect; processes related to certification are not included.

This technical specification is applicable to wind and PV power plants connected to the electrical power grid.
