G59/2 equivalent standard in mainland Europe and America?
(OP)
Can anyone tell me what the G59/2 equivalent standard is in mainland Europe and America? Does anyone know where I can access these equivalent standards?






RE: G59/2 equivalent standard in mainland Europe and America?
ER 59/2 is called :
"Recommendations for Connection of Generating Plant to the Distribution System of Licensed Distribution Network Operators"
edited by ENA U.K.
In every country where Distribution System of Generating Plant is permitted, I think, there is a national standard of this kind of
recommendations". For instance see :
German Transmission Code 2007

As far as I can see the German grid code (and many others including the UK) refer only to distributed generators at higher voltage levels and for large and medium size generators. In the case of the German grid code the rules are specified for generators with grid connections at 380/220/110kV. Does anyone know of standards (or in the UK recommendations that everyone has to abide by - thanks Scotty) that are used in America and mainland Europe for small DG at 11kv/400V levels?
I've looked at IEEE Std 1547, I've been able to find testing procedures and guidance on how DG should behave during the test but it does not specify limits for under/overvoltage and under/overfrequency as it does in G59/2. Have I overlooked this or is this not contained within this standard?

I haven't seen much DG connected directly at ~400V, but there are many Independent Power Producers (IPP's), that tie into Medium Voltage (~12kV) systems.
Careful attention has to be made to the local utility reclosing times. Often transfer trip is also a requirement.
The IEEE PRSC has a document titled "Intertie Protection of Consumer-Owned Generation", which contains guidelines and can be found PRSC
You have to navigate to the published reports area to find the file.
