In particular for ERNC plants, we can modify your PPC to verify if the necessary requirements for regulatory compliance related to participation in Complementary Services can (or not) be implemented. In the past, we have helped our Customers to perform Frequency and Reagent Control in Thermal Plants and recently for Photovoltaic Plants.
With the following graphic, you can understand the problem of Frequency Control in each of its phases, which will depend on the type of development they require for the purpose of the project to be reviewed and its subsequent execution.
How to implement your project?
To summarize, what can be seen in the graph is the distribution of reaction and delivery times to the system, according to the regulatory classification established by the national authority depending on the type of Balance Service in which you want to participate, since the characteristics required to start operating in less than 1 second are different from those required to start operating within 5 minutes.
Considering the above, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of your plant in relation to the Balance Service in which you want to participate, which ultimately involves reviewing each system involved and, according to the results of that study, we proceed to modify the change in the Control system (s), or to the implementation of new features in your plant, that allow you to participate in the Complementary Services.
In our experience, what has happened is that the Customer's equipment and systems have had the necessary characteristics and the incorporation of equipment has generally been minimal. Therefore, what we have carried out are mainly modifications to the Control Systems as a whole, tasks that are executed together with the Customer, thus establishing the best adjustments according to the reality of the Customer and their operational culture.
