Grid Compliance Monitoring & Reporting

Audit & Comply

Obligation to comply with grid performance requirements does not end once the PPC has been deployed. Continuous monitoring of steady-state & dynamic plant response is necessary to tune the electrical model, identify generator/AVR/governor and control parameters, and ensure that the PPC response is adequate under real operating conditions. Payment reduction, conflict, or even disconnection are some of the consequences.

ETAP Grid Code compliance monitoring performs the online assessment and continuous audit of actual operation vs. expected response. Real-time instantaneous data is applied to the power plant operational digital twin and comparisons are made against previously established grid code rules in order to perform the assessment and produce compliance reports.
