12 Fault Ride Through Type B and C and D Synchronous Power Generating Modules connected below 110kV Requirements for Type B, C and D Synchronous Power Generating Modules connected below 110kV The fault ride through requirements for Type B, C and D Synchronous Power Generating Modules connected below 110kV are broadly the same as Type D Synchronous Power Generating Modules connected at or above 110kV other than the voltage against time curve. In summary the voltage against time curve for Type B, C and D Synchronous Power Generating Modules connected below 110kV should be the equivalent voltage seen at the connection point for a Transmission System fault 12

32 Voltage against time Case Study - South West Area As presented to the industry within SOF 2015 pre-assessment Webinar, National Grid in conjunction with the local DNO (WPD) considered the impact of increasing Non Synchronous Generation at Transmission and Distribution level. Analysis considered the then 2014 level of generation connection, then anticipated 2015 levels of generation connection, and increasing levels across FES scenarios. 32

33 Increase of Generation in the Distribution Networks Future Energy Scenarios predictions for Embeddedd and Micro Generation: Embedded Generation: generation with installed capacity above 1MW Micro Generation: generation with installed capacity below 1MW

34 Example in South West Background: - Two transmission double circuits connecting South West with the rest of the system - Potential for large volumes of Embedded Generation being connected in the DNO networks - Several large synchronous generators in the area - Relatively long transmission circuits (high impedance)

36 Main System Background Assumptions System Background Assumptions Justification Demand Background 1. All system demands are dispatched from DEAF database at 21GW Demand Background 1. Typical summer minimum total system demand Generation Background 1. Summer minimum ranking order 2. Large size generators have voltage/reactive and frequency response capability 3. HVDC is modeled with full PowerFactory models 4. Embedded and Micro generation has been modelled in the DNO networks within the area of study Generation Background 1. Officially released by Energy Strategy and Policy team 2. Grid Code requirement 3. The latest HVDC models available are used 4. This assumption will provide better degree of modeling the system and will allow new opportunities to be explored System and generator outages 1. Typical summer outage pattern is used 2. Summer generator outages are taken in account System and generator outages 1. The typical outage pattern has been provided by Offshore team END (Appendix 1) (as outlined in BP-078) 2. Summer nuclear plant outages are taken into account in the Summer Ranking Order released by ESP team System Dispatch 1. The studies start from Y1 and additional NSG is being added in the region of study 2. In the region of study the all generation is dispatched to their rated capacity System Dispatch 1. This approach has been chosen in order to save study time and manage the project within its timeline 2. Assuming the worst case scenarios (to be consistent with NDP and ETYS process) where all non-synchronous generators inside the area of study are dispatched to 100% of their rated capacity

37 Main Modelling Assumptions Modelling Assumptions Justification System Fault 1. The worst N-D contingency highlighting the stability limit is assessed for every region 2. Fault is selected to be three-phase solid short-circuit on a double-circuit line having zero impedance for 140ms duration System Fault 1. Communication within SMARTER System Performance and Network development Strategy teams regional engineers 2. A conservative fault clearance time has been considered to represent the worst case scenario Generators 1. Embedded generators has the possibility to provide voltage support (considered as a potential solution in some cases) Generators 1. Communication with engineers in Smarter System Performance and Network Design Pre-fault voltages 1. Pre-fault voltages to be between pu Pre-fault voltages 1. Historical data suggests that voltages between pu as expected during summer minimum periods with high levels of wind and solar generation Reinforcements 1. Voltage Stability: Fast reactive compensation, dynamic compensation, synchronous machines operating in SynchComp mode, Reactive support from EG 2. Frequency Stability: additional inertia on the system, synchronous machines operating in SynchComp mode 3. Rotor Angle Stability: Power System Stabilizers Reinforcements 1. Some MSCs have capability to provide fast MVAR support, some current generators can operated in SynchComp mode 2. The studies conducted last year suggest that additional inertia on the system, synchronous machines operating in SynchComp mode improve stability

38 Impact of Embedded Generation on the Transmission System Impact and Potential Opportunities Running NSG output Increased transient over-voltage followed by voltage collapse on the transmission network, options are: - Transmission connected reactive support - Distribution connected generation on having voltage control - Active management of distribution connected generation Increase in non-synchronous generation results post-fault ToV, options to mitigate: - Transmission connected machines operating SynchComp mode - Transmission connected dynamic reactive support (STATCOM) - Distribution connected generation on having voltage control - Active management of distribution connected generation No Identified Stability Issues 3.5 GW 2022 running capacity (GG and CP) In South West area, embedded generation can deliver MVARs to GSPs with average loss of 15-20% due to the impedance of the distribution networks 2.5 GW 2015 running capacity 2014 running capacity 1.5 GW 0.7 GW

41 SW Area Voltage against Time (2020 NSG capacities) Section 6 of SOF 2015, case C within figure 67 of SOF describes the performance of the even more estimate of NSG capacity, relating to a 1GW increase beyond 2015 installed levels within the South West. This level occurs in 2020 in Gone Green and Consumer Power Scenarios. This condition highlights that, other than at Melksham and Hinkley Point where voltage stabilises above 0.9 p.u. following 1.45s, voltages are unstable against the SQSS criterion, requiring further mitigation. 41

46 Voltage Dips Case Study As presented to the industry within SOF 2015 assessment Webinars (August 2015), and within Chapter 4 (section 4.3) of the SOF National Grid considered the impact of 400kV faults and their associated voltage dips as system strength declined. SOF Analysis considered the then current 2015 network performance, and the performance of the network in 2025, corresponding to both Gone Green conditions for case studies of Walpole and Sellindge. 46

47 Voltage Dips Case Studyassumptions 2015 SOF Stakeholder Update Voltage Dips Assumptions Current system and FES forecast Data Studies conducted at Summer minimum transmission demand current or FES informed Generation dispatch ranking order for Summer minimum condition. Embedded ( Wind, Solar and Other ) generation installed capacity in current, and as per FES for future years. Current studies taken at typical 95% confidence of generation outputs at that time, in future years a 95% confidence of forecast load factors and availability taken for Summer minimum conditions. Equivalent assumptions with embedded and transmission generation applied. Consistent with methodology applied to SQSS Main Interconnected system study Consistent with the methodology as applied for H/04 review. Studies Full GB model using time domain simulation and static/dynamic demand based on week 24 information supplied. Embedded Generation modelled as per Week 24 and Statement Of Works submissions according to type and control approach applied (normally constant power factor). Initially start with current year, 2025 and 2035 Sites with low fault level and high local transmission/embedded generation. Comparison with 2014 SOF sites? Based on experience of the REACT project, 20% increase in susceptance applied at DNO level to ensure optimum retained voltage during the fault. 3 phase busbar fault at transmission level; 140ms fault clearance with voltages recorded two levels down plus where retained voltages above 0.85 p.u. 3 phase busbar fualt at DNO level; 500ms fault clearance with voltage recorded at 132kV for the time period plus transmission level voltages to the nearest connected generation (140ms, 250ms and 450ms intervals)

48 Voltage Dips Case Study Walpole As discussed within past SOF and Grid code H/04 review, as system strength declines, voltage dips become more significant in extent and Depth. H/04 consultation document This trend is seen to continue within the 2015 SOF (section 4.3 refers). National Grids System Operability Framework National Grids System Operability Framework

49 Voltage Dips Case Study- Walpole As considered within past Grid code H/04 review, Voltage dips impact the DNO system and terminal voltages seen by generation. However, given the scale of system strength decline now observed, the retained voltage within distribution systems can be seen to have significantly declined in recent SOF analysis- H/04 consultation document National Grids System Operability Framework National Grids System Operability Framework

50 Voltage Dips Case Study- Walpole In the 11 year period between H/04 analysis and SOF 2015, the following changes are apparent:- 132kV local retained voltage is now as low as 400kV voltage, rather than c.10% previously quoted. These levels are available only at remote 132kV sites (e.g Burwell) Local 33kV bus Voltage is not noticeably improved to 30% such scale of retained voltage requires distances as far as Norwich to achieve Profile of voltage recovery is equivalent to 400KV system- there is limited discernable improvement 132kV) National Grids System Operability Framework

52 ENTSO-E RfG - Voltage Against Time Profile Type B, C Power Park Modules - Table 3.2 Voltage (p.u) NOT TO SCALE RFG Min 1.0 RFG Max Point of compliant recovery (0.9p.u, 2.2s) 0.85 RfG point of intercept of that recovery (0.85p.u, 2.086s) Time (s) RfG does not provide flexibility to replicate the retained voltages observed in study. As such the GNSO, DNOs and TOs going forward will need to further consider approaches which deliver the minimum 0.05p.u retained voltage in order to achieve overall containment to maximum loss of power infeed- this may drive new control strategies or investment. 52

53 ENTSO-E RfG - Voltage Against Time Profile Type B, C and D Synchronous Power Generating Modules connected below 110kV Voltage (p.u) NOT TO SCALE RFG Min RFG Max Point of compliant recovery (0.9p.u, 2.2s) 0.7 RfG point of intercept of that recovery (0.85p.u, 2.086s) Area of potential challenge the RfG required recovery profile for synchronous is potentially not borne out from the voltage/ time traces provided in a non-synchronous dominated recovery. GB recovery examples suggest 0.7 recovery at 0.14s is an issue but no latitude for differing setting exists in the code. Again GBSO, TOs and DNOs will need to evaluate options to provide such levels of recovery should solutions be required in practice Time (s) 53
