Description of the course
The reliability and security of the electricity supply is an issue on which electricity companies are investing more and more effort.
The growing incorporation of renewable energies into the electricity system involves a risk situation given the variability of these resources and their special operating conditions. For this reason, new generation plants must meet minimum grid quality requirements at the connection point in order to obtain a connection permit.
In addition to new generation plants, there are existing facilities that may be affected, such as industries (with equipment sensitive to harmonics, flicker...) that wish to install renewable generation for self-consumption or grid elements such as substations.
CIRCE has extensive experience both in field measurements of grid quality and in the analysis of the data obtained, as well as in carrying out the necessary evaluations by simulating the grid in appropriate software.
