Expert Webinar Grid Code Compliance

Regulatory agencies have developed new code requirements for machines and energy sources that comprise the utility grid. This discussion will explore some of these grid codes and the required interaction of the voltage regulator or excitation system needed to meet the system requirements. Over the last several years, the power grid has evolved. Centralized power generation facilities have been decommissioned and replaced by smaller distributed energy resources. These new smaller energy providers have a propensity to disconnect during system disturbances. Without the large generators acting as the backbone of the power grid, these conditions increase the likelihood of large-scale blackouts, so changes were needed. Join Basler expert Matt Miersch to uncover aspects of being an energy provider in our changing world. 00:00 Speaker Introduction 02:09 What is Grid Code? 07:29 AVR and Grid Codes 10:35 Grid Connection 16:20 Reactive Power Control 22:19 Active Power Control/Limited Frequency Sensitivity Mode 24:40 DECS Settings 25:53 Grid Code Compliance 27:37 Questions? #powergrid #compliance #powersystemprotection #BaslerElectric #webinar
