Any further information Unit to specify Purpose This purpose of this test is to verify that the load is compliant with the relevant Grid Code requirements. The unit is operated at no-load and the breaker is successfully closed to connect the unit to the System and the block load recorded. Pass Criteria Ireland For conventional in Ireland, Block Load shall be less than 10% of Registered Capacity. For Interconnectors in Ireland, Load will be less than 3% of the Interconnector Registered Capacity or 30MW in either flow direction, whichever is the lesser. Delete reference to Interconnector or generator as appropriate. Northern Ireland For conventional plant in Northern Ireland, Block Load shall be no greater than 40MW. Delete reference to Ireland or Northern Ireland as appropriate. Instrumentation and Onsite Data Trending All of the following trends and screenshots must be recorded by the Unit during the test. Failure to provide any of trends will result in test cancellation. No. Signal Name Sample Rate Source Unit to specify, 1 Active Power at Connection Point (MW) 100ms or as agreed Unit to specify with TSO Unit to specify, 2 Reactive Power at Connection Point (Mvar) 100ms or as agreed Unit to specify with TSO Unit to specify, 3 Active Power at Generator (MW) 100ms or as agreed Unit to specify with TSO Unit to specify, 4 Reactive at Generator (Mvar) 100ms or as agreed Unit to specify with TSO Generator Circuit Breaker position (Open / 5 Unit to specify, Unit to specify Closed) Unit to specify, 6 Generator Voltage (kV) 100ms or as agreed Unit to specify with TSO
