Compliance simulations for transmission-connected demand facilities
Article 44
1. With regard to the reactive power capability simulation of a transmission-connected demand facility without onsite generation: (a) the transmission-connected demand facility without onsite generation's reactive power capability at the connection point shall be demonstrated; (b) a load flow simulation model of the transmission-connected demand facility shall be used to calculate the reactive power exchange under different load conditions. Minimum and maximum load conditions resulting in the lowest and highest reactive power exchange at the connection point shall be part of the simulations; (c) the simulation shall be deemed passed if the results demonstrate compliance with the requirements set out in Article 15(1) and (2). 2. With regard to the reactive power capability simulation of a transmission-connected demand facility with onsite generation: (a) a load flow simulation model of the transmission-connected demand facility shall be used to calculate the reactive power exchange under different load conditions and under different generation conditions; (b) a combination of minimum and maximum load and generation conditions resulting in the lowest and highest reactive power capability at the connection point shall be part of the simulations; (c) the simulation shall be deemed passed if the results demonstrate compliance with the requirements set out in Article 15(1) and (2).
