Application of the NER for Connection of Renewable Energy

The rapidly increasing volume of large renewable energy generators has introduced a number of challenges related to the control and stability of the electric power system. These challenges have increased the complexity of the connection process as set out in the NER. This course will cover a number of topics related to the application of the NER and system strength impact assessments, including modelling techniques required for the connection of generators. Preliminary and full impact assessments will be investigated with real-world indicative examples and simulation outcomes. The entire process will be reviewed including modelling techniques, data requirements and analysis of results with respect to the ability of a generator to meet their technical performance requirements.
