Appendix 2
Technical criteria for wind farm power stations
connected to the transmission system
Note for readers - In this Grid Code the common rules for all generators are set
down in the generation section of the Grid Code Connection Conditions. There are
then a number of Schedules with requirements for particular types of generators.
Only the Schedule for wind turbine generators is included here. WFPS refers to a
wind farm power station.
CC.S2.1
Applicability of Technical Design and Operational
Criteria
(a)
In this Schedule 2, all references to
Generating Units
shall
be read and construed as references only to
Generating
Units Connected
to the
Transmission System
that form part
of a
WFPS
.A
Generating Unit
is generally a single
Wind
Turbine Generator
. This Schedule 2 shall not be deemed to
refer to
CCGT Modules
,
Steam Turbine Units
,
Gas Tur-
bine Units
,
Solar Generating Units
or
Energy Storage
units
which are separate from a
Wind Turbine Unit
whether
or not forming part of a
WFPS
.
(b)
In this Schedule 2, unless otherwise specified, all references
to measurements shall be deemed to be applicable at the
Connection Point
of the
WFPS
.
(c)
This Schedule 2 contains technical, design and operational
requirements for
WFPSs
that are more detailed than those
set out in
CC
.6 and is intended to be complementary to
CC
.6. However, in the event of any conflict between the
requirements of
CC
.6 and the requirements of this Schedule
2, the provisions of this Schedule 2 shall prevail. Detailed
information relating to a particular
Connection
will, where
indicated below, be made available by the
TSO
on request
by the
Generator
. A number of the requirements in this
Schedule 2 and the
WFPS Settings Schedule
