As power systems continued to evolve, grid operators around the world implemented increasingly complex technical requirements to maintain reliability, stability and power quality. For developers, manufacturers and operators of renewable and conventional power plants, demonstrating compliance with these requirements became a critical step in the grid connection process.
This UL Solutions webinar provided an informative session on the simulation and certification process for Power Generation Systems (PGS) and explored how simulation-based conformity assessments could support grid code compliance across global markets.
During this session, our experts provided an overview of the key technical requirements that applied at the power plant level and explained how simulation studies were used to evaluate system performance under various operating conditions. Attendees gained practical insight into the certification process and learned about the role that advanced simulation tools played in demonstrating compliance with grid code requirements.
Topics covered included:
- An introduction to the main components involved in grid code evaluation of power generation systems
- An overview of conformity assessment processes for grid code compliance in Spain and Germany
- Simulation studies commonly requested for power plant operation, including power quality and network performance assessments
- Advanced simulation capabilities available at the UL Solutions Madrid laboratory, including electromagnetic transient (EMT) studies, transient analysis and grid-forming evaluations
- The role of simulation and certification in supporting successful grid connection applications
