Teleport

Grid code compliance

The Teleport can be configured to comply with national derivatives of the Requirements for Generators (RfG). This page describes automatic control functions to comply with national grid codes. See grid operator interfaces for real-time external control by grid operators.

Base requirements

To have the Teleport perform grid code compliance functions, the site must meet the following requirements (unless stated otherwise):

  • The requirements for Power limiting
  • Response time:
    • Meter refresh interval: at most 200 ms and instantaneous snapshots (i.e. not the sum of multiple underlying meters)
    • Meter readout roundtrip + Setpoint writing roundtrip: at most 200ms
    • Asset response time: at most 1 second
  • All assets must be connected over ethernet (no RS-485 strings)
  • All controllable assets must support reactive power control and report available reactive power in real time

Supported grid codes

The Netherlands

The Teleport can perform:

  • Reactive power control according to all defined control modes:
    • Voltage (sub-mode 1 and sub-mode 2)
    • Reactive power
    • Power factor

Germany

The Teleport has a prototype unit certificate for VDE 4110 (Medium-Voltage) and VDE 4120 (High-Voltage) as a Power Plant Controller (PPC, “EZA-regler”) with the following scope of control:

  • Active power control
  • Reactive power control (PT1)
  • LFSM
  • FSM

Belgium

The Teleport can perform:

  • Reactive power control with settling times of 240 seconds

For Belgium the base requirements are not applicable and only the following more relaxed requirements must be met by the site:

  • The requirements for Power limiting
  • Response time:
    • Meter refresh interval: at most 5 seconds
    • Meter readout roundtrip + Setpoint writing roundtrip: at most 10 seconds
    • Asset response time: at most 10 seconds
  • All controllable assets must support reactive power control
