9.1 General Criteria N/A
9.1.1 As outlined in Section 5, DNOs have to meet certain statutory
and Distribution Licence obligations when designing and
operating their Distribution Networks. These obligations will N/A
influence the options for connecting Power Generating
Modules.
9.1.2 The technical and design criteria to be applied in the design

N/A
Distribution Code. The criteria are based upon the
performance requirements of the Distribution Network

connection requirements in this chapter are common to all

ER G99
9.1.5 In addition requirements for Type A Power Generating Type A

Modules are detailed in Section 11. Requirements for Type B
Power Generating Modules are detailed in Section 12. P
Requirements for Type C and Type D Power Generating
Modules are detailed in Section 13.
9.2 Network Connection Design for Power Generating Modules NA on generating
N/A
inverter
9.3 Step Voltage Change and Rapid Voltage Change P
9.3.1 The Step Voltage Change and Rapid Voltage Change NA on generating
caused by the connection and disconnection of Power inverter
Generating Modules from the Distribution Network must be
considered and be subject to limits to avoid unacceptable
voltage changes being experienced by other Customers N/A
connected to the Distribution Network. The magnitude of a
Step Voltage Change depends on the method of voltage
control, types of load connected and the presence of local
generation.
9.3.2 Limits for Step Voltage Change and Rapid Voltage Change
caused by the connection and disconnection of any
N/A
Customers equipment to the Distribution Network should be
within the limits set out in EREC P28.
9.3.3 The voltage depression arising from transformer magnetising
inrush current is a short-time phenomenon captured by
considerations of Rapid Voltage Change. In addition the size
of the depression is dependent on the point on wave of N/A
switching and the duration of the depression is relatively
short in that the voltage recovers substantially in less than 1
s.
9.3.4 Generator Installations shall be designed taking account of
the advice in EREC P28 in respect of transformer
energisation assessment such that transformer magnetising
inrush current associated with normal routine switching
N/A
operations does not cause voltage fluctuations outside those
in EREC P28. To achieve this it may be necessary to install
switchgear so that sites containing multiple transformers can
be energised in stages.
9.3.5 These threshold limits shall be complied with at the Point of
N/A
Common Coupling as required by EREC P28.
9.4 Power Quality P
9.4.1 Introduction --
9.4.1.1 The connection and operation of Power Generating Modules
may cause Phase (Voltage) Unbalance and/or a distortion of
--
the Distribution Network voltage waveform resulting in
voltage fluctuations and harmonics.
9.4.2 Flick P
9.4.2.1 Where the input motive power of the Power Generating Only consider the
Module may vary rapidly, causing corresponding changes in single generating
the output power, flicker may result. The operation of a inverter
P
Power Generating Module including synchronisation, run-up
and desynchronisation shall not result in flicker that breaches
the limits for flicker that is non-compliant with EREC P28.

ER G99
9.4.2.2 The supply impedance of the Distribution Network needs to

be considered to ensure that the emissions produced by the
P
Power Generating Module do not cause a problem on the
Distribution Network.
9.4.2.3 For Power Generating Modules up to 17 kW per phase or 50
kW three phase voltage step change and flicker
measurements as required by BS EN 61000-3-11 shall be
made and recorded in the test declaration form A2-1 or form
A2-3 as applicable for the Power Generating Module. The
DNO will use these declared figures to calculate the required
maximum supply impedance required for the connection to P
comply with EREC P28. This calculation may show that the
voltage fluctuations will be greater than those permitted and
hence reinforcement of the Distribution Network may be
required before the Power Generating Module can be
connected. Detailed testing requirements are described in
Annex A.7.
9.4.3 Harmonic Emissions P
9.4.3.1 Harmonic currents produced within the Generator’s system
and modification of the harmonic impedance caused by the
addition of the Generator’s installation may cause excessive
harmonic voltage distortion in the Distribution Network. The
Generator’s Installation must be designed and operated to
P
comply with the planning criteria for harmonic voltage
distortion as specified in EREC G5. EREC G5, like all
planning standards referenced in this recommendation, is
applicable at the time of connection of additional equipment
to a Generator’s Installation.
9.4.3.2 For Power Generating Modules of up to 17 kW per phase or Comply with BS EN
50 kW three phase harmonic measurements as required by 61000-3-12
BS EN 61000-3-12 shall be made and recorded in the test
declaration form A2-1 or form A2-3 as applicable for the
Power Generating Module. The DNO will use these declared
figures to calculate the required maximum supply impedance
required for the connection to comply with BS EN 61000-3-12
and will use this data in their design of the connection for the P
Power Generating Module. This standard requires a
minimum ratio between source fault level and the size of the
Power Generating Module, and connections in some cases
may require the installation of a transformer between 2 and 4
times the rating of the Power Generating Module in order to
accept the connection to a DNO’s Distribution Network.
Detailed testing requirements are described in Annex A.7
9.4.3.3 Where the Power Generating Module is connected via a long
cable circuit the likelihood of a resonant condition is greatly
increased, especially at 132 kV. This arises from the reaction
of the transformer inductance with the cable capacitance.
Resonance is likely in the low multiples of the fundamental
N/A
frequency (8th-11th harmonic). The resonant frequency is
also a function of the Total System fault level. If there is the
possibility that this can change significantly eg by the
connection of another Power Generating Module then a full
harmonic study should be carried out.

ER G99
9.4.4 Voltage imbalance Single phase

N/A
inverter
9.4.4.1 EREC P29 is a planning standard which provides limits for
voltage unbalance caused by uneven loading of three phase
supply systems. Power Generating Modules should be
capable of performing satisfactorily under the conditions it
defines. The existing voltage unbalance on an urban
Distribution Network rarely exceeds 0.5% but higher levels,
in excess of 1%, may be experienced at times of high load
and when outages occur at voltage levels above 11 kV. 1%
may exist continuously due to unbalance of the system N/A
impedance (common on remote rural networks). In addition,
account can be taken of the neutralising effect of rotating
plant, particularly at 11 kV and below. BS EN 50160 contains
details of the variations and disturbances to the voltage
which shall be taken into account in selecting equipment from
an appropriate specification for installation on or connected
to the Distribution Network.
9.4.4.2 The level of voltage unbalance at the Point Of Common
Coupling should be no greater than 1.3% for systems with a
nominal voltage below 33 kV, or 1% for other systems with a
nominal voltage no greater than 132 kV. Overall, voltage N/A
unbalance should not exceed 2% when assessed over any
one minute period. EREC P29, like all planning standards, is
applicable at the time of connection.
9.4.4.3 For Power Generating Facilities of 50 kW or less Section 7.5
of this document specifies maximum unbalance of Power
N/A
Generating Modules. Where these requirements are met
then no further action is required by the Generator.
9.4.5 Power Factor correction equipment is sometimes used with
Power Park Modules to decrease Reactive Power flows on
the Distribution Network. Where the Power Factor correction
equipment is of a fixed output, stable operating conditions in
P
the event of loss of the DNO supply are extremely unlikely to
be maintained, and therefore no special protective actions
are required in addition to the standard protection specified in
this document.
9.4.6 DC Injection P
9.4.6.1 The effects of, and therefore limits for, DC currents injected
into the Distribution 9.4.6.1Network is an area currently
under investigation. Until these investigations are concluded P
the limit for DC injection is less than 0.25% of the AC rating
per Power Generating Module.
9.4.6.2 The main source of these emissions are from
transformer-less Inverters. Where necessary DC emission
N/A
requirements can be satisfied by installing a transformer on
the AC side of an Inverter.

ER G99
10 Protection P
10.1 General P
10.1.1 The main function of the protection systems and settings
described in this document is to prevent the Power
Generating Module supporting an islanded section of the
Distribution Network when it would or could pose a hazard to
the Distribution Network or Customers connected to it. The
settings recognize the need to avoid nuisance tripping and P
therefore require a two stage approach where practicable, ie
to have a long time delay for smaller excursions that may be
experienced during normal Distribution Network operation, to
avoid nuisance tripping, but with a faster trip, where possible,
for greater excursions.
10.1.2 In accordance with established practice it is for the Generator
to install, own and maintain this protection. The Generator
can therefore determine the approach, ie per Power N/A
Generating Module or per installation, and where in the
installation the protection is sited.
10.1.3 Where a common protection system is used to provide the
protection function for multiple Power Generating Modules
the complete installation cannot be considered to comprise
Fully Type Tested Power Generating Modules if the
protection and connections are made up on site and so
cannot be factory tested or Type Tested. If the units or Power P
Generating Modules are specifically designed to be
interconnected on site via plugs and sockets, then provided
the assembly passes the function tests required in Annex A.2
(Form A2-4), the Power Generating Modules can retain Type
Tested status.
10.1.4 Type Tested Interface Protection shall have protection
P
settings set during manufacture.
10.1.5 Once the Power Generating Modules has been installed and
commissioned the protection settings shall only be altered
P
following written agreement between the DNO and the
Generator.
DPC7.4.4 sets phase voltage unbalance requirement that
any Generating Plant connected to the Distribution System N/A
would need to comply with
9.6.2 Flicker P
Where the input motive power of the Generating Plant may
vary rapidly, causing corresponding changes in the output
power, flicker may result. Any run up or synchronizing effects P
on voltage waveform that give risk to flicker must not breach
the limits for flicker in ER P28.
The fault level of the Distribution System needs to be
considered to ensure that the emissions produced by the
Generating Plant do not cause a problem on the Distribution
System. For Type Tested Generating Units of up to 17kW per
P
phase or 50kW three phase voltage step change and flicker
measurements as required by BS EN 61000-3-11 shall be
made and recorded in the type test declaration for the
Generating Unit.

ER G99
9.6.2.1 For wind turbines, flicker testing should be carried out during
N/A
the performance tests specified in IEC 61400-21.
9.6.2.2 For technologies other than wind, the controls or automatic
programs used shall produce the most unfavourable P
sequence of voltage changes for the purposes of the test.
9.6.3 Harmonic P
Harmonic voltages and currents produced within the
Generator‟s system may cause excessive harmonic voltage
distortion in the Distribution System. The Generator s
installation must be designed and operated to comply with
the planning criteria for harmonic voltage distortion as P
specified in ER G5/4-1. like all planning standards referenced
in this recommendation, is applicable at the time of
connection of additional equipment to a Customer‟s
Installation.
For Type Tested Generating Units of up to 17kW per phase
or 50kW three phase harmonic measurements as required
P
by BS EN 61000-3-12 shall be made and recorded in the
type test declaration for the Generating Unit.
Alternatively, if the harmonic emissions are low and they are
shown to meet the requirements of BS EN 61000-3-2 then
there will be no need to carry out fault level to Generating
Unit size ratio check. Generating Units meeting the N/A
requirements of BS EN 61000-3-2 will need no further
assessment with regards to harmonics.
9.6.4 Where the Generating Plant is connected via a long cable
circuit the likelihood of a resonant condition is greatly
increased, especially at 132kV. This arises from the reaction
of the transformer inductance with the cable capacitance.
Resonance is likely in the low multiples of the fundamental
N/A
frequency (8th-11th harmonic). The resonant frequency is
also a function of the Total System fault level. If there is the
possibility that this can change significantly eg by the
connection of another Generating Plant, then a full harmonic
study should be carried out.
9.6.5 Voltage imbalance N/A
ER P29 is a planning standard which sets the Distribution
System compatibility levels for voltage unbalance caused by
uneven loading of three phase supply systems. Generating N/A
Units should be capable of performing satisfactorily under the
conditions it defines
9.6.6 The level of voltage unbalance at the Point of Common
Coupling should be no greater than 1.3% for systems with a
nominal voltage below 33kV, or 1% for other systems with a
nominal voltage no greater than 132kV. Overall, voltage N/A
unbalance should not exceed 2% when assessed over any
one minute period. ER P29, like all planning standards, is
applicable at the time of connection.
9.6.6.1 For Power Stations of 50kW or less section 7.5 of this
document specifies maximum unbalance of Generating
N/A
Units. Where these requirements are met then no further
action is required by the Generator.

ER G99
9.6.7 Power factor correction equipment is sometimes used with

asynchronous Generating Units to decrease reactive power
flows on the Distribution System. Where the power factor
correction equipment is of a fixed output, stable operating
N/A
conditions in the event of loss of the DNO supply are
extremely unlikely to be maintained, and therefore no special
protective actions are required in addition to the standard
protection specified in this document
9.6.8 DC Injection P
The effects of, and therefore limits for, DC currents injected
into the Distribution System is an area currently under
investigation by DNOs. Until these investigations are P
concluded the limit for DC injection is less than 0.25% of the
AC rating per Generating Unit.
9.7 System Stability N/A
9.8 Island Mode N/A
9.8.1 The principles discussed in this section generally also apply
where Generation Plant on a Customer’s site is designed to
N/A
maintain supplies to that site in the event of a failure of the
DNO supply
9.8.2 When considering whether Generating Plant can be
permitted to operate in island mode, detailed studies need to
be undertaken to ensure that the islanded system will remain
N/A
stable and comply with all statutory obligations and relevant
planning standards when separated from the remainder of
the Total System.
Before operation in island mode can be allowed, a
contractual agreement between the DNO and Generator
must be in place and the legal liabilities associated with such N/A
operation must be carefully considered by the DNO and the
Generator
Consideration should be given to the following areas:
a. load flows, voltage regulation, frequency regulation,
voltage unbalance, voltage flicker and harmonic voltage
distortion
b. earthing arrangements
N/A
c. short circuit currents and the adequacy of protection
arrangements
d. System Stability
e. resynchronisation to the Total System
f. safety of personnel
9.8.3 Suitable equipment will need to be installed to detect that an
island situation has occurred and an intertripping scheme is
preferred to provide absolute discrimination at the time of the
event. Confirmation that a section of Distribution System is N/A
operating in island mode, and has been disconnected from
the Total System, will need to be transmitted to the
Generating Unit(s) protection and control schemes.
9.8.4 The ESQCR requires that supplies to Customers are
N/A
maintained within statutory limits at all times

ER G99
9.8.5 The ESQCR also require that Distribution Systems are

earthed at all times. Generators, who are not permitted to
operate their installations and plant with an earthed star-point
when in parallel with the Distribution System, must provide N/A
an earthing transformer or switched star-point earth for the
purpose of maintaining an earth on the system when
islanding occurs.
The ESQCR also require that Distribution Systems are
earthed at all times. Generators, who are not permitted to
operate their installations and plant with an earthed star-point
when in parallel with the Distribution System, must provide N/A
an earthing transformer or switched star-point earth for the
purpose of maintaining an earth on the system when
islanding occurs.
9.8.6 Detailed consideration must be given to ensure that
protection arrangements are adequate to satisfactorily clear
the full range of potential faults within the islanded system
N/A
taking into account the reduced fault currents and potential
longer clearance times that are likely to be associated with
an islanded system.
9.8.7 Switchgear shall be rated to withstand the voltages which
may exist across open contacts under islanded conditions.
The DNO may require interlocking and isolation of its circuit
breaker(s) to prevent out of phase voltages occurring across N/A
the open contacts of its switchgear. Intertripping or
interlocking should be agreed between the DNO and the
Generator where appropriate.
9.8.8 It will generally not be permissible to interrupt supplies to
DNO Customers for the purposes of resynchronisation. The
design of the islanded system must ensure that
synchronising facilities are provided at the point of isolation N/A
between the islanded network and the DNO supply. Specific
arrangements for this should be agreed and recorded in the
Connection Agreement with the DNO.
10 PROTECTION P
10.1 General P
10.1.1 The main function of the protection systems and settings Only considered on
described in this document is to prevent the Power inverter
Generating Module supporting an islanded section of the
Distribution Network when it would or could pose a hazard to
the Distribution Network or Customers connected to it. The
settings recognize the need to avoid nuisance tripping and P
therefore require a two stage approach where practicable, ie
to have a long time delay for smaller excursions that may be
experienced during normal Distribution Network operation, to
avoid nuisance tripping, but with a faster trip, where possible,
for greater excursions.
10.1.2 In accordance with established practice it is for the Generator
to install, own and maintain this protection. The Generator
can therefore determine the approach, ie per Power N/A
Generating Module or per installation, and where in the
installation the protection is sited.

ER G99
10.1.3 Where a common protection system is used to provide the Only considered on
protection function for multiple Power Generating Modules inverter
the complete installation cannot be considered to comprise
Fully Type Tested Power Generating Modules if the
protection and connections are made up on site and so
cannot be factory tested or Type Tested. If the units or Power P
Generating Modules are specifically designed to be
interconnected on site via plugs and sockets, then provided
the assembly passes the function tests required in Annex A.2
(Form A2-4), the Power Generating Modules can retain Type
Tested status.
10.1.4 Type Tested Interface Protection shall have protection
P
settings set during manufacture.
10.1.5 Once the Power Generating Modules has been installed and
commissioned the protection settings shall only be altered
P
following written agreement between the DNO and the
Generator.
10.1.6 In exceptional circumstances additional protection may be
required by the DNO to protect the Distribution Network and P
its Customers from the Power Generating Module.
10.1.7 Note that where the Generator installs an Export Limiting
Scheme in accordance with EREC G100 the installation will N/A
also need to comply with the requirements of that EREC.
10.2 Co-ordinating with DNO’s Distribution Network’s Existing
N/A
Protection
10.2.1 It will be necessary for the protection associated with Power
Generating Modules to co-ordinate with the Protection N/A
associated with the DNO’s Distribution Network as follows:
For Power Generating Modules directly connected to the
DNO’s Distribution Network the Power Generating Module
must meet the target clearance times for fault current
interchange with the DNO’s Distribution Network in order to
reduce to a minimum the impact on the DNO’s Distribution
Network of faults on circuits owned by the Generator.
The DNO will ensure that the DNO protection settings meet N/A
its own target clearance times.
The target clearance times are measured from fault current

inception to arc extinction and will be specified by the DNO to
meet the requirements of the relevant part of the Distribution
Network.
The settings of any protection controlling a circuit breaker or

the operating values of any automatic switching device at any
point of connection with the DNO’s Distribution Network, as
well as the Generator’s maintenance and testing regime, N/A
shall be agreed between the DNO and the Generator in
writing during the connection consultation process.

ER G99
It will be necessary for the Power Generating Module

protection to co-ordinate with any auto-reclose policy
specified by the DNO. In particular the Power Generating
Module protection should detect a loss of mains situation and
disconnect the Power Generating Module in a time shorter
than any auto reclose dead time. This should include an
allowance for circuit breaker operation and generally a
minimum of 0.5 s should be allowed for this. For
auto-reclosers set with a dead time of 3 s, this implies a
N/A
maximum Interface Protection response time of 2.5 s. Where
auto-reclosers have a dead time of less than 3 s, there may
be a need to reduce the operating time of the Interface
Protection. For Type Tested Power Park Modules no
changes are required to the operating times irrespective of
the auto-reclose times. In all other cases where the
auto-recloser dead time is less than 3 s the Generator will
need to agree site-specific Interface Protection settings with
the DNO.
10.2.2 Specific protection required for Power Generating Modules P
In addition to any protection installed by the Generator to
meet his own requirements and statutory obligations on him,
P
the Generator must install protection to achieve the following
objectives
(a) For all Power Generating Modules: P
i. To disconnect the Power Generating Module from the
system when a system abnormality occurs that results in an
unacceptable deviation of the frequency or voltage at the P
Connection Point, recognizing the requirements to ride
through faults as detailed in Sections 12.3 and 13.4;
ii. To ensure the automatic disconnection of the Power
Generating Module, or where there is constant supervision of
an installation, the operation of an alarm with an audio and P
visual indication, in the event of any failure of supplies to the
protective equipment that would inhibit its correct operation.
(b) For polyphase Power Generating Modules: N/A
i.To inhibit connection of Power Generating Modules to the
system unless all phases of the DNO’s Distribution Network
N/A
are present and within the agreed ranges of protection
settings;
ii. To disconnect the Power Generating Module from the
system in the event of the loss of one or more phases of the N/A
DNO’s Distribution Network;
(c) For single phase Power Generating Modules: P
i. To inhibit connection of Power Generating Modules to the
system unless that phase of the DNO’s Distribution Network

is present and within the agreed ranges of protection
settings;
ii. To disconnect the Power Generating Module from the
system in the event of the loss of that phase of the DNO’s P
Distribution Network;
10.3 Protection Requirements P

ER G99
10.3.1 Suitable protection arrangements and settings will depend

upon the particular Generator installation and the
requirements of the DNO’s Distribution Network. These
individual requirements must be ascertained in discussions
with the DNO. To achieve the objectives above, the
protection must include the detection of: P
• UnderVoltage (1 stage);
• OverVoltage (2 stage);
• UnderFrequency (2 stage);
• OverFrequency (1 stage);
• Loss of Mains (LoM).
The LoM protection will depend for its operation on the
detection of some suitable parameter, for example, rate of
P
change of frequency (RoCoF), or unbalanced voltages. More
details on LoM protection are given in Section 10.4.
There are different protection settings dependent upon the Only considered LV
system voltage at which the Power Generating Module is connection P
connected (LV or HV).
Protection settings for Power Generating Facilities over 100
MW Registered Capacity must be consistent with Grid Code
requirements. Loss of Mains protection will only be permitted N/A
at these sites if sanctioned by the NETSO– see Section
10.4.2 below.
It is in the interest of Generators, DNOs and NETSO that
Power Generating Modules remains synchronised to the
Distribution Network during system disturbances, and
conversely to disconnect reliably for true LoM situations.
Frequency and voltage excursions less than the protection
settings should not cause protection operation. As some
forms of LoM protection might not readily achieve the N/A
required level of performance (eg under balanced load
conditions), the preferred method for Power Generating
Facilities with a Registered Capacity greater than 50 MW is
by means of intertripping. This does not preclude
consideration of other methods that may be more appropriate
for a particular connection.
10.3.2 The protective equipment, provided by the Generator, to
meet the requirements of this section must be installed in a
suitable location that affords visual inspection of the P
protection settings and trip indicators and is secure from
interference by unauthorised personnel.
10.3.3 Installation of automatic reconnection systems for Type B, Type A considered
Type C and Type D shall be subject to prior authorisation by
the DNO. Unless Generators of Type D Power Generating
Modules have prior authorisation from the DNO for the N/A
installation of automatic reconnection systems, they must
obtain authorisation from the DNO, or NETSO as applicable,
prior to synchronisation.

ER G99
10.3.4 The frequency and voltage at the DNO’s side of the supply
terminals at the Connection Point must be within the
frequency and voltage ranges of the Interface Protection as
listed in paragraph 10.6.7 for at least 20 s before the Power
Generating Module is allowed to automatically reconnect to
the DNO’s Distribution Network. There is in general no
maximum admissible ramp rate for Active Power output on P
connecting or reconnecting, although it is a requirement to
state the assumed maximum ramp rate for the Power
Generating Module as part of the application for connection.
If a network specific issue requires a maximum admissible
ramp rate of Active Power output on connection it will be
specified by in the Connection Agreement.
10.3.5 If automatic resetting of the protective equipment is used,
there must be a time delay to ensure that healthy supply
conditions exist for a minimum continuous period of 20 s.
Reset times may need to be co-ordinated where more than P
one Power Generating Module is connected to the same
feeder. The automatic reset must be inhibited for faults on
the Generator’s Installation.
10.3.6 Protection equipment is required to function correctly within
the environment in which it is placed and shall satisfy the
following standards:
• BS EN 61000 (Electromagnetic Standards);
• BS EN 60255 (Electrical Relays);
• BS EN 61810 (Electrical Elementary Relays);
P
• BS EN 60947 (Low Voltage Switchgear and Control gear);
• BS EN 61869 (Instrument Transformers; Additional
requirements for current transformers).
Where these standards have more than one part, the
requirements of all such parts shall be satisfied, so far as
they are applicable.
10.3.7 Protection equipment and protection functions may be
installed within, or form part of the Power Generating Module P
control equipment as long as:
the control equipment satisfies all the requirements of

Section 10 including the relevant standards specified in P
paragraph 10.3.6;
the Power Generating Module shuts down in a controlled and

safe manner should there be an equipment failure that
affects both the protection and control functionality, for P
example a power supply failure or microprocessor failure;
and
the equipment is designed and installed so that protection

calibration and functional tests can be carried out easily and
P
safely using secondary injection techniques (ie using
separate Low Voltage test equipment).
10.4 Loss of Mains (LoM) P

ER G99
10.4.1 To achieve the objectives of Section 10.1.1, in addition to

protection installed by the Generator for his own purposes,
the Generator must install protection to achieve (amongst
other things) disconnection of the Power Generating Module
from the Distribution Network in the event of loss of one or
more phases of the DNOs supply. This LoM protection is P
required to ensure that the Power Generating Module is
disconnected, to ensure that the requirements for Distribution
Network earthing, and out-of-Synchronism closure are
complied with and that Customers are not supplied with
voltage and frequencies outside statutory limits.
10.4.2 LoM protection is required for all Type A, Type B and Type C
Power Generating Modules. For Type D Power Generating
Modules the DNO will advise if LoM protection is required. P
The requirements of paragraph 10.6.2 apply to LoM
protection for all Power Generating Modules.
10.4.3 A problem can arise for Generators who operate a Power
Generating Module in parallel with the Distribution Network
prior to a failure of the network supply because if their Power
Generating Module continues to operate in some manner,
even for a relatively short period of time, there is a risk that
when the network supply is restored the Power Generating P
Module will be out of Synchronism with the Total System and
suffer damage. LoM protection can be employed to
disconnect the Power Generating Module immediately after
the supply is lost, thereby avoiding damage to the Power
Generating Module.
10.4.4 Where the amount of Distribution Network load that the
Power Generating Module will attempt to pick up following a
fault on the Distribution Network is significantly more than its
capability the Power Generating Module will rapidly
disconnect, or stall. However, depending on the exact
conditions at the time of the Distribution Network failure, P
there may or may not be a sufficient change of load on the
Power Generating Module to be able to reliably detect the
failure. The Distribution Network failure may result in one of
the following load conditions being experienced by the Power
Generating Module:
(a) The load may slightly increase or reduce, but remain
within the capability of the Power Generating Module. There P
may even be no change of load;
(b) The load may increase above the capability of the prime
mover, in which case the Power Generating Module will slow
down, even though the alternator may maintain voltage and P
current within its capacity. This condition of speed/frequency
reduction can be easily detected; or
(c) The load may increase to several times the capability of
the Power Generating Module, in which case the following
easily detectable conditions will occur: P
• Overload and accompanying speed/frequency reduction
• Over current and under voltage on the alternator

ER G99
10.4.5 Conditions (b) and (c) are easily detected by the under and
over voltage and frequency protection required in this
document. However, condition (a) presents most difficulty,
particularly if the load change is extremely small and
P
therefore there is a possibility that part of the Distribution
Network supply being supplied by the Power Generating
Module will be out of Synchronism with the Total System.
LoM protection is designed to detect these conditions.
10.4.6 LoM signals can also be provided by means of intertripping
signals from circuit breakers that have operated in response N/A
to the Distribution Network fault.
10.4.7 The LoM protection can utilise one or a combination of the Active and passive
passive protection principles such as reverse Active Power protection
flow, reverse Reactive Power and rate of change of
frequency (RoCoF). Alternatively, active methods such as
reactive export error detection or frequency shifting may be
employed. These may be arranged to trip the interface circuit
breaker at the DNO Generator interface, thus, leaving the
P
Power Generating Module available to satisfy the load
requirements of the site or the Power Generating Module
circuit breaker can be tripped, leaving the breaker at the
interface closed and ready to resume supply when the
Distribution Network supply is restored. The most appropriate
arrangement is subject to agreement between the DNO and
Generator.
10.4.8 Protection based on measurement of reverse flow of Active
Power or Reactive Power can be used when circumstances
permit and must be set to suit the Power Generating Module N/A
rating, the site load conditions and requirements for Reactive
Power.
10.4.9 Where the Power Generating Facility capacity is such that
the site will always import power from the Distribution
Network, a reverse power relay may be used to detect failure N/A
of the supply. It will usually be appropriate to monitor all three
phases for reverse power.
10.4.10 However, where the Power Generating Facilities normal
mode of operation is to export power, it is not possible to use
a reverse power relay and consequently failure of the supply
cannot be detected by measurement of reverse power flow.
The protection should then be specifically designed to detect
loss of the mains connection using techniques to detect the P
rate of change of frequency and/or Power Factor. All these
techniques are susceptible to Distribution Network conditions
and the changes that occur without islanding taking place.
These relays must be set to prevent islanding but with the
best possible immunity to unwanted nuisance operation.

ER G99
10.4.11 RoCoF relays use a measurement of the period of the mains

voltage cycle. The RoCoF technique measures the rate of
change in frequency caused by any difference between
prime mover power and electrical output power of the Power
Generating Module over a number of cycles. RoCoF relays
P
should normally ignore the slow changes but respond to
relatively rapid changes of frequency which occur when the
Power Generating Module becomes disconnected from the
Total System. The voltage vector shift technique is not an
acceptable loss of mains protection.
10.4.12 Should spurious tripping present a nuisance to the
Generator, the cause must be jointly sought with the DNO.
Raising settings on any relay to avoid spurious operation
may reduce a relay's capability to detect islanding and it is
important to evaluate fully such changes. Annex D.2 provides
some guidance for assessments, which assume that during a
short period of islanding the trapped load is unchanged. In P
some circumstances it may be necessary to employ a
different technique, or a combination of techniques to satisfy
the conflicting requirements of safety and avoidance of
nuisance tripping. In those cases where the DNO requires
LoM protection this must be provided by a means not
susceptible to spurious or nuisance tripping, eg intertripping.
10.4.13 For a radial or simple Distribution Network controlled by
circuit breakers that would clearly disconnect the entire
circuit and associated Power Generating Module, for a LoM
event an intertripping scheme can be easy to design and
install. For meshed or ring Distribution Networks, it can be
N/A
difficult to define which circuit breakers may need to be
incorporated in an intertripping scheme to detect a LoM event
and the inherent risks associated with a complex system
should be considered alongside those associated with a
using simple, but potentially less discriminatory LoM relay.
10.4.14 It is the responsibility of the Generator to incorporate what
they believe to be the most appropriate technique or
combination of techniques to detect a LoM event in his
protection systems. This will be based on knowledge of the
Power Generating Module, site and network load conditions. P
The DNO will assist in the decision making process by
providing information on the Distribution Network and its
loads. The settings applied must be biased to ensure
detection of islanding under all practical operating conditions.
10.5 Additional DNO Protection Shall be considered
N/A
in the end installation
10.6 Protection Settings P
10.6.1 The following notes aim to explain the settings requirements
P
as given in Section 10.6.7 below.
10.6.2 Loss of Mains P

ER G99
A LoM protection of the RoCoF type will generally be

appropriate for Type A, Type B and Type C Power
Generating Modules, but this type of LoM protection must not
be installed for Power Generating Facilities at or above 50 P
MW. In those cases where the DNO requires LoM protection
this must be provided by a means not susceptible to spurious
or nuisance tripping, eg intertripping.
10.6.3 Under Voltage P
In order to help maintain Total System Stability, the
protection settings aim to facilitate transmission fault ride
through capability (as required in Sections 12.3 and 13.3
below). The overall aim is to ensure that Power Generating
Module is not disconnected from the Distribution Network
unless there is material disturbance on the Distribution P
Network, as disconnecting generation unnecessarily will tend
to make an under voltage situation worse. To maximize the
transmission fault ride through capability a single
undervoltage setting of - 20% with a time delay of 2.5 s
should be applied.
10.6.4 Over Voltage P
Over voltages are potentially more dangerous than under
voltages and hence the acceptable excursions from the norm
P
are smaller and time delays shorter, a 2-Stage over voltage
protection6 is to be applied
Stage 1 (LV) should have a setting of +14% (ie the LV

statutory upper voltage limit of +10%,with a further 4%
permitted for voltage rise internal to the Customer’s
installation and measurement errors ),with a time delay of
1.0s (to avoid nuisance tripping for short duration
P
excursions);
• Stage 2 (LV) should have a setting of +19% with a time

delay of 0.5s (ie recognising the need to disconnect quickly
for a material excursion);
Stage 1 (HV) should have a setting of +10% with a time delay

of 1.0s (ie the HV statutory upper voltage limit of +6%,with a
further 4% permitted for voltage rise internal to the
Customers Installation and measurement errors),, with a time
delay of 1.0s to avoid nuisance tripping for short duration N/A
excursions);
• Stage 2 (HV) should have a setting of +13% with a time

delay of 0.5s (ie recognising the need to disconnect quickly
for a material excursion).

ER G99
To achieve high utilisation and Distribution System efficiency,

it is common for the HV Distribution System to be normally
operated near to the upper statutory voltage limits. The
presence of Generating Plant within such Distribution
Systems may increase the risk of the statutory limit being
exceeded, e.g. when the Distribution System is operating N/A
abnormally. In such cases the DNO may specify additional
over voltage protection at the Generating Plant connection
point. This protection will typically have an operating time
delay long enough to permit the correction of transient over
voltages by automatic tap-changers.
10.6.5 Over Frequency P
Power Generating Modules are required to stay connected to
the Total System for frequencies up to 52 Hz for up to 15
minutes so as to provide the necessary regulation to control
the Total System frequency to a satisfactory level. In order to
prevent the unnecessary disconnection of a large volume of
smaller Power Generating Module for all LV and HV
P
connected Power Generating Module a single stage
protection is to be applied that has a time delay of 0.5 s and a
setting of 52 Hz. If the frequency rises to or above 52 Hz as
the result of an undetected islanding condition, the Power
Generating Module will be disconnected with a delay of 0.5 s
plus circuit breaker operating time.
10.6.6 Under Frequency P
All Power Generating Facilities are required to maintain
connection unless the Total System frequency falls below P
47.5 Hz for 20 s or below 47 Hz.
For all LV and HV connected Generating Plant, the following
P
2-stage under frequency protection should be applied:
• Stage 1 should have a setting of 47.5 Hz with a time delay
P
of 20s;
• Stage 2 should have a setting of 47.0 Hz with a time delay
P
of 0.5s;
10.6.7 Protection Settings P
10.6.7.1 Settings for Long-Term Parallel Operation P
10.6.7.2 Settings for Infrequent Short-Term Parallel Operation N/A
10.6.8 Over and Under voltage protection must operate
N/A
independently for all three phases in all cases.
10.6.9 The settings in Table 10.1 should generally be applied to all
Power Generating Modules. In exceptional circumstances
Generators have the option to agree alternative settings with
the DNO if there are valid justifications in that the Power N/A
Generating Module may become unstable or suffer damage
with the settings specified in Table 10.1. The agreed settings
should be recorded in the Connection Agreement.
10.6.10 Once the settings of relays have been agreed between the
Generator and the DNO they must not be altered without the
P
written agreement of the DNO. Any revised settings should
be recorded again in the amended Connection Agreement.

ER G99
10.6.11 The under/over voltage and frequency protection may be

duplicated to protect the Power Generating Module when
P
operating in island mode although different settings may be
required.
10.6.12 For LV connected Power Generating Modules the voltage
settings will be based on the 230 V nominal system voltage.
In some cases Power Generating Modules may be
connected to LV systems with non-standard operating
voltages. Paragraph 10.6.14 details how suitable settings N/A
can be calculated based upon the HV connected settings in
Table 10.1. Note that Power Generating Modules with
non-standard LV protection settings need to be agreed by
the DNO on a case by case basis.
10.6.13 Where an installation contains Power Factor correction
equipment which has a variable susceptance controlled to
meet the Reactive Power demands, the probability of
sustained generation is increased. For LV installations, N/A
additional protective equipment provided by the Generator, is
required as in the case of self-excited asynchronous
machines.
10.6.14 Non-Standard private LV networks calculation of appropriate
N/A
protection settings
10.6.15 The Generator shall provide a means of displaying the The way (b) is used
protection settings so that they can be inspected if required
by the DNO to confirm that the correct settings have been P
applied. The Manufacturer needs to establish a secure way
of displaying the settings in one of the following ways:
(a) A display on a screen which can be read; N/A
(b) A display on an electronic device which can communicate

with the Power Generating Module and confirm that it is the
correct device by means of a Identification number / name P
permanently fixed to the device and visible on the electronic
device screen at the same time as the settings;
(c) Display of all settings including nominal voltage and

current outputs, alongside the identification number / name of
N/A
the device, permanently fixed to the Power Generating
Module.
The provision of loose documents, documents attached
by cable ties etc., a statement that the device conforms
with a standard, or provision of data on adhesive paper
based products which are not likely to survive due to
fading, or failure of the adhesive, for at least 20 years is
P
not acceptable.
The protection arrangements (including changes to
protection arrangements) for individual schemes will be
agreed between the Generator and the DNO in accordance
with this document.
10.6.16 Whilst the protection schemes and settings for internal
electrical faults should mitigate any damage to the Power
Generating Module they must not jeopardise the P
performance of a Power Generating Module, in line with the
requirements set out in this EREC.

ER G99
10.6.17 The Generator shall organise its protection and control Type A
devices in accordance with the following priority ranking
N/A
(from highest to lowest) for Type B, Type C and Type D
Power Generating Modules:
10.6.18 For the avoidance of doubt where an internal fault on the
Power Generating Module occurs during any significant
event on the Total System, the Power Generating Module’s P
internal protection should trip the module to ensure safety
and minimise damage to the Power Generating Module.
10.7 Typical Protection Application Diagrams N/A
11 Type A Power Generating Module Technical Requirements P
11.1 Power Generating Module Performance and Control
P
Requirements – General
11.1.1 The requirements of this Section 11 do not apply in full to
Power Generation Facilities that are designed and installed
for infrequent short term parallel operation only nor to storage P
Power Generation Modules within the Power Generating
Facility – refer to Annex A.4.
11.1.2 The Active Power output of a Power Generating Module
should not be affected by voltage changes within the
P
statutory limits declared by the DNO in accordance with the
ESQCR.
11.1.3 Power Generating Modules connected to the DNO’s
Distribution Network shall be equipped with a logic interface
P
(input port) in order to cease Active Power output within 5 s
following an instruction being received at the input port.
11.1.3.1 By default the DNO logic interface will take the form of a
simple binary output that can be operated by a simple switch
or contactor. When the switch is closed the Power
Generating Module can operate normally. When the switch is
opened the Power Generating Module will reduce its Active
Power to zero within 5 s. The signal from the Power P
Generating Module that is being switched can be either AC
(maximum value 240 V) or DC (maximum value 110 V). If the
DNO wishes to make use of the facility to cease Active
Power output the DNO will agree with the Generator how the
communication path is to be achieved.
11.1.4 Each item of a Power Generating Module and its associated
control equipment must be designed for stable operation in P
parallel with the Distribution Network.
11.1.5 When operating at rated power the Power Generating
Module shall be capable of operating at a Power Factor
P
within the range 0.95 lagging to 0.95 leading relative to the
voltage waveform unless otherwise agreed with the DNO.
11.1.6 As part of the connection application process the Generator
shall agree with the DNO the set points of the control scheme
for voltage control, Power Factor control or Reactive Power
control as appropriate. These settings, and any changes to
N/A
these settings, shall be agreed with the DNO and recorded in
the Connection Agreement. The information to be provided is
detailed in Schedule 5a and Schedule 5b of the Data
Registration Code.

ER G99
11.1.7 Load flow and System Stability studies may be necessary to

determine any output constraints or post fault actions
necessary for n-1 fault conditions and credible n-2 conditions
(where n-1 and n-2 conditions are the first and second
outage conditions as, for example, specified in EREC P2)
involving a mixture of fault and planned outages. The
N/A
Connection Agreement should include details of the relevant
outage conditions. It may be necessary under these fault
conditions, where the combination of Power Generating
Module output, load and through flow levels leads to circuit
overloading, to rapidly disconnect or constrain the Power
Generating Module.
11.2 Frequency response P
11.2.1 Under abnormal conditions automatic low-frequency
load-shedding provides for load reduction down to 47 Hz. In
exceptional circumstances, the frequency of the DNO’s
Distribution Network could rise above 50.5 Hz. Therefore all
Power Generating Modules should be capable of continuing
to operate in parallel with the Distribution Network in
accordance with the following:
(a) 47 Hz – 47.5 Hz Operation for a period of at least 20 s is
required each time the frequency is within this range.
(b) 47.5 Hz – 49.0 Hz Operation for a period of at least 90
minutes is required each time the frequency is within this P
range.
(c) 49.0 Hz – 51.0 Hz Continuous operation of the Power
Generating Module is required.
(d) 51.0 Hz –51.5 Hz Operation for a period of at least 90
minutes is required each time the frequency is within this
range.
(e) 51.5 Hz – 52 Hz Operation for a period of at least 15
minutes is required each time the frequency is within this
range.
11.2.2 With regard to the rate of change of frequency withstand
capability, a Power Generating Module shall be capable of
staying connected to the Distribution Network and operate at
rates of change of frequency up to 1 Hzs-1 as measured over
P
a period of 500 ms unless disconnection was triggered by a
rate of change of frequency type loss of mains protection or
by the Power Generating Module’s own protection system for
a co-incident internal fault as detailed in paragraph 10.6.18.
11.2.3 Output power with falling frequency P
11.2.3.1 Each Power Generating Module, must be capable of: P
(a) continuously maintaining constant Active Power output for
system frequency changes within the range 50.5 to 49.5 Hz; P
and

ER G99
(b) (subject to the provisions of paragraph 11.2.1)

maintaining its Active Power output at a level not lower than
the figure determined by the linear relationship shown in
Figure 11.1 for system frequency changes within the range
P
49.5 to 47 Hz for all ambient temperatures up to and
including 25°C, such that if the system frequency drops to 47
Hz the Active Power output does not decrease by more than
5%.
11.2.3.2 For the avoidance of doubt in the case of a Power

Generating Module using an Intermittent Power Source
where the power input will not be constant over time, the
requirement is that the Active Power output shall be P
independent of system frequency under (a) above and
should not drop with system frequency by greater than the
amount specified in (b) above.
11.2.4 Limited Frequency Sensitive Mode – Over frequency P
11.2.4.1 Each Power Generating Module shall be capable of reducing
Active Power output in response to frequency on the Total
System when this rises above 50.4 Hz. The Power
Generating Module shall be capable of operating stably
P
during LFSM-O operation. If a Power Generating Module has
been contracted to operate in Frequency Sensitive Mode the
requirements of LFSM-O shall apply when frequency
exceeds 50.5 Hz.
(a).The rate of change of Active Power output must be at a

minimum a rate of 2% of output per 0.1 Hz deviation of
system frequency above 50.4 Hz (ie a Droop of 10%) as
shown in Figure 11.2. For the avoidance of doubt, this would P
not preclude a Generator from designing their Power
Generating Module with a Droop of less than 10%, but in all
cases the Droop should be 2% or greater.
(b) The Power Generating Module shall be capable of

initiating a power frequency response with an initial delay that
is as short as possible. If the initial delay exceeds 2 s the
Generator shall justify the delay, providing technical evidence
to the DNO, who will pass this evidence to the NETSO. As P
much as possible of the proportional reduction in Active
Power output must result from the frequency control device
(or speed governor) action and must be achieved within 10 s
of the time of the frequency increase above 50.4 Hz.
(c) If the reduction in Active Power is such that the Power

Generation Module reaches its Minimum Generation, it must P
continue to operate stably at this level.
11.2.4.2 When the Power Generating Module is providing Limited

Frequency Sensitive Mode Over frequency (LFSM-O)
P
response it must continue to provide the frequency response
until the frequency has returned to, or is below, 50.4 Hz.

ER G99
11.2.4.3 Steady state operation below Minimum Generation is not

expected but if system operating conditions cause operation
below Minimum Generation which give rise to operational
P
difficulties then the Generator shall be able to return the
output of the Power Generating Module to an output of not
less than the Minimum Generation.
11.3 Fault Ride Through and Phase Voltage Unbalance N/A
11.3.1 Where it has been specifically agreed between the DNO and
the Generator that a Power Generating Facility will contribute
to the DNO’s Distribution Network security, (eg for
compliance with EREC P2) the Power Generating Module(s)
may be required to withstand, without tripping, the effects of
a close up three phase fault and the Phase (Voltage)
N/A
Unbalance imposed during the clearance of a close-up
phase-to-phase fault, in both cases cleared by the DNO’s
main protection. The DNO will advise the Generator in each
case of the likely tripping time of the DNO’s protection, and
for phase-phase faults, the likely value of Phase (Voltage)
Unbalance during the fault clearance time.
11.3.2 In the case of phase to phase faults on the DNO’s system
that are cleared by system back-up protection which will be
within the plant short time rating on the DNO’s Distribution
N/A
Network the DNO, on request during the connection process,
will advise the Generator of the expected Phase (Voltage)
Unbalance.
11.4 Voltage Limits and Control N/A
11.4.1 Where a Power Generating Module is remote from a Network
voltage control point it may be required to withstand voltages
outside the normal statutory limits. In these circumstances,
the DNO should agree with the Generator the declared
N/A
voltage and voltage range at the Connection Point. Immunity
of the Power Generating Module to voltage changes of ±
10% of the declared voltage is recommended, subject to
design appraisal of individual installations.
11.4.2 The connection of a Power Generating Module to the
Distribution Network shall be designed in such a way that
operation of the Power Generating Module does not
adversely affect the voltage profile of and voltage control
employed on the Distribution Network. ETR 126 provides N/A
DNOs with guidance on active management solutions to
overcome voltage control limitations. Information on the
voltage regulation and control arrangements will be made
available by the DNO if requested by the Generator.
11.4.3 The final responsibility for control of Distribution Network
N/A
voltage does however remain with the DNO.

ER G99
Automatic Voltage Control (AVC) schemes employed by the

DNO often assume that power flows from parts of the
Distribution Network operating at a higher voltage to parts of
the Distribution Network operating at lower voltages. Export
from Power Generating Modules in excess of the local loads
may result in power flows in the reverse direction. In this case
11.4.4 AVC referenced to the low voltage side may not operate N/A
correctly without an import of Reactive Power and relay
settings appropriate to this operating condition. When load
current compounding is used with the AVC and the
penetration level of Power Generating Modules becomes
significant compared to normal loads, it may be necessary to
switch any compounding out of service.
Power Generating Modules can cause problems if connected
to networks employing AVC schemes which use negative
reactance compounding and line drop compensation due to
11.4.5 changes in Active Power and Reactive Power flows. ETR N/A
126 provides guidance on connecting generation to such
networks using techniques such as removing the generation
circuit from the AVC scheme using cancellation CTs.

Normalised value = Measured value x reference source resistance/measured source resistance at test point
Two phase units in a split phase system reference source resistance is 0

Where the Power Factor of the output is under 0.98 then the Xl to R ratio of the test impedance sho
uld be
close to that of the Standard Impedance.
The stopping test should be a trip from full load operation.
