Connection of Generating Plant (Guide)

2007

Note: File may be downloaded after completion of your purchase

The guide has been produced to:

(a) Assist distribution network engineers with determining the most appropriate electrical arrangements for the connection and protection of parallel-generation plant so that it does not compromise the operation of the external system or endanger staff or the general public; and

(b) Advise distribution network engineers of the protection and supervisory equipment that should be included in parallel-generation plant. The guide notes specific issues to be addressed for the safe operation of parallel-generation and gives guidance on the manner in which they may be resolved but does not detail specific requirements as each proposal will require a review of the function of the plant and the external supply arrangements. The protection of the parallel generation plant is basically the responsibility of the owner except where by agreement with the distribution network it includes protection arrangements that contribute to the safety of the external system.
