Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/631 of 14 April 2016 establishing a network code on requirements for grid connection of generators (Text with EEA relevance)
When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
Point in time view as at 14/04/2016.
There are outstanding changes not yet made to Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/631. Any changes that have already been made to the legislation appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Changes and effects yet to be applied by the editorial team are only applicable when viewing the latest version or prospective version of legislation. They are therefore not accessible when viewing legislation as at a specific point in time. To view the ‘Changes to Legislation’ information for this provision return to the latest version view using the options provided in the ‘What Version’ box above.
1.Type B power park modules are subject to the compliance simulations in paragraphs 2 to 5. Instead of all or part of those simulations, the power-generating facility owner may use equipment certificates issued by an authorised certifier, which must be provided to the relevant system operator.
2.With regard to the LFSM-O response simulation the following requirements shall apply:
(a)the power park module's capability to modulate active power at high frequency in accordance with Article 13(2) shall be demonstrated;
(b)the simulation shall be carried out by means of high frequency steps and ramps reaching minimum regulating level, taking into account the droop settings and the deadband;
(c)the simulation shall be deemed successful in the event that:
the simulation model of the power park module is validated against the compliance test for LFSM-O response set out in Article 47(3); and
compliance with the requirement laid down in Article 13(2) is demonstrated.
3.With regard to the fast fault current injection simulation the following requirements shall apply:
(a)the power park module's capability to provide fast fault current injection in accordance with the conditions set out in point (b) of Article 20(2) shall be demonstrated;
(b)the simulation shall be deemed successful if compliance with the requirement laid down in point (b) of Article 20(2) is demonstrated.
4.With regard to the fault-ride-through simulation capability of type B power park modules, the following requirements shall apply:
(a)the power park module's capability to ride through faults in accordance with the conditions set out in point (a) of Article 14(3) shall be demonstrated by simulation;
(b)the simulation shall be deemed successful if compliance with the requirement laid down in point (a) of Article 14(3) is demonstrated.
5.The following requirements with regard to the post fault active power recovery simulation shall apply:
(a)the power park module's capability to provide post fault active power recovery in accordance with the conditions set out in Article 20(3) shall be demonstrated;
(b)the simulation shall be deemed successful if compliance with the requirement laid down in Article 20(3) is demonstrated.

This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force.
