Grid Connection Study

Posted on by Ngoc Khanh

Vietnam Power Resource Partners Corporation (PRP) offers a sophisticated GCS (Grid Connection Study) or GPS (Generator Performance Standards in Australia market) Calculation Service designed to facilitate the seamless integration of renewable energy projects into the existing power grid. Our services encompass a thorough evaluation of grid infrastructure, identification of optimal connection points, and rigorous adherence to regulatory standards. Through advanced simulation modelling, we assess the impact of new energy sources on grid stability, ensuring that your project is both technically and economically viable.

PRP Exclusive Service Features

  1. Grid Infrastructure Analysis: We begin with a detailed assessment of the existing grid infrastructure, including substations, transmission lines, and distribution networks. We aim to identify the best possible connection points that minimize technical and economic challenges.

  2. Regulatory Compliance: We meticulously review and ensure adherence to all relevant grid codes, technical standards, and regulatory requirements. This includes legal considerations and the technical specifications necessary for integrating new renewable energy sources into the grid.

  3. Advanced Data Collection and Simulation: Our service involves collecting comprehensive data on all critical components, such as generators, transformers, and reactive power control devices. We then use state-of-the-art simulation tools like PSCAD, DIgSILENT, and PSS/E to create dynamic models that reflect real-world conditions.

  4. Technical and Impact Assessments:

    • Load Flow Analysis: We simulate power flow to assess the new connection’s impact on voltage stability and thermal limits, ensuring the grid can handle additional loads.
    • Short-Circuit Analysis: Evaluating fault current levels to ensure existing protection systems can manage potential fault currents effectively.
    • Dynamic Stability Analysis: Studying the transient stability of the grid, especially when integrating variable-output renewable sources, and analyzing the grid’s response to changes in load or generation.
    • Quality of Electricity: Ensuring compliance with voltage fluctuation, harmonic distortion, and voltage unbalance standards, and measuring the impact on power quality.

  5. Continuous Operation and Control Systems: We conduct comprehensive tests to ensure the plant can operate continuously under various conditions, including frequency control, active power control, and reactive power capability. These tests are crucial for maintaining stable grid operations and preventing disruptions.

  6. Timeline Management: Our service follows a structured timeline, ensuring that each phase of the GPS calculation—from project identification to final technical assessments—is completed efficiently and effectively.

Why Choose PRP?

With a staff of highly experienced engineers and consultants, PRP is dedicated to providing precise and dependable GPS computation services that satisfy the highest technical requirements. Our complete strategy guarantees that your project not only satisfies regulatory standards but also improves grid integration, thereby improving grid stability and project viability.
