Grid Compliance Testing of TPP Stanari

client: EFT RiTE Stanari (Bosnia and Herzegovina)

type: Grid Compliance Testing (Transmission, Generation, Policies)

finishing date: September 2016

team: Nebojsa Jovic – Project Manager, M. Vukovic – Consultant, M. Stojanovic, M. Ivanovic

The objective of grid compliance testing is to specify all necessary on-site tests, to define criteria for compliance as well as to conduct specified on-site tests in order to conclude whether TPP Stanari complies with technical requirements for issuing Final Operational Notification.

The compliance testing process comprises the following activities:

  • Creation of testing protocol for TPP Stanari which considers definition of detailed testing program that takes into account its technical specifics
  • Performing of on-site testing – The following on-site tests has been performed within the project:
    • Active power control
      • Test of governor frequency response insensitivity
      • Test of frequency response dead band and droop
      • Test of full primary control response
    • Voltage control
      • Test of reactive power capability
      • Test of Over-excitation and Under-excitation limiters performance
      • Test of excitation system step response (open circuit)
      • Test of excitation system step response (on-load)
    • Test of Power System Stabilizer
    • Test of tripping to houseload
    • Test of signals, communication and control
    • Validation of simulation model
  • Creation of grid compliance testing report based on which the final operational notification for TPP Stanari is issued
