Overview
A power system running on inverter-based resources would need new tools to stay stable and secure. Grid forming capabilities can be part of the answer: they stabilise voltage and frequency, improve the system's response to disturbances, and strengthen overall resilience. But Transmission and Distribution System Operators and National Regulatory Authorities should roll out these requirements in a way that carefully balances system needs, technology readiness, and the fast deployment of renewables and electrification.
The ENTSO-E Technical Group on Grid Forming Capabilities has laid the foundation with its Technical Report in line with the revision of EU Network Code on Requirements for Generators (NC RfG). That report will also inform the Implementation Guidance Document that System Operators will use to implement these requirements at national level. Building on that work, and on the ongoing discussions at EU and national level, this paper sets out the wind industry's recommendations for implementing grid forming requirements to deliver system stability while keeping wind deployment on track.
