6 Frequently Asked Questions about “110kv grid connection requirements for energy storage power stations”

Who should a small and medium embedded power station contact?

Small and Medium Embedded Power Stations should contact the relevant Distribution Network Operator (DNO) for guidance. These Guidance Notes are based on the Grid Code, Issue 6, Revision 23, effective from the 22 April 2024.

Where can I find instructions related to grid code specifications?

Following instructions closely related to Grid Code Specifications can be found on the Main grid contract page: The document describes the requirements for reactive power reserves for power plants connected to 110 kV and 400 kV and calculation of reactive power limits applicable at the point of connection.

What is a European grid connection specification?

These Specifications were established taking into account the shared goals of European grid connection network codes: to guarantee equal and non-discriminatory conditions for competition on the internal energy market, to ensure system security and to create harmonised connection terms for grid connections.

Can a power park connect to a supergrid?

For Power Parks with a point of connection to the Supergrid, the technique described below is still appropriate however the equivalent impedance (described above) is removed. The simplified positive sequence network below will generally be accepted as satisfying the 'pps' aspect of studies in Grid Code ECP.A.3.5.

What are the requirements for a supergrid fault?

The requirements vary depending on the type of fault and the Supergrid voltage profile (duration of fault or voltage dip). These requirements can be conveniently referred to in the context of two separate fault modes, A & B, which are respectively covered by ECC.6.3.15.1 – ECC.6.3.15.8 (Mode A) and ECC.6.3.15.9 (Mode B) of the Grid Code.

What are the new ECC requirements for power Park modules?

The introduction of the ECC sections in the Grid Code introduced two new technical requirements for Power Park Modules. These new areas are: Specification for Fast Fault Current Injection (FFCI) ECC.6.3.15. In addition, a number of smaller updates have been made as a result of changes to the RfG requirements.
