Compliance simulations for type B synchronous power-generating modules
Article 51
1. Power-generating facility owners shall undertake LFSM-O response simulations in relation to type B synchronous power-generating modules. Instead of the relevant simulations, the power-generating facility owner may use equipment certificates issued by an authorised certifier to demonstrate compliance with the relevant requirement. In that case, the equipment certificates shall be provided to the relevant system operator. 2. With regard to the LFSM-O response simulation the following requirements shall apply: (a) the power-generating module's capability to modulate active power at high frequency in accordance with Article 13(2) shall be demonstrated by simulation; (b) the simulation shall be carried out by means of high frequency steps and ramps reaching minimum regulating level, taking into account the droop settings and the deadband; (c) the simulation shall be deemed successful in the event that: (i) the simulation model of the power-generating module is validated against the compliance test for LFSM-O response described in Article 44(2); and (ii) compliance with the requirement set out in Article 13(2) is demonstrated. 3. With regard to the simulation of fault-ride-through capability of type B synchronous power-generating modules, the following requirements shall apply: (a) the power-generating module's capability to ride through faults in accordance with the conditions set out in subparagraph (a) of Article 14(3) shall be demonstrated by simulation; (b) the simulation shall be deemed successful if compliance with the requirement set out in point (a) of Article 14(3) is demonstrated. 4. With regard to the post fault active power recovery simulation the following requirements shall apply: (a) the power-generating module's capability to provide post fault active power recovery referred to in the conditions set out in Article 17(3) shall be demonstrated; (b) the simulation shall be deemed successful if compliance with the requirement set out in Article 17(3) is demonstrated.
