Netherlands (TenneT) — ride-through requirements

The LVRT envelope a grid-scale battery must meet under Netherlands (TenneT), digitized breakpoint by breakpoint and checked against the clause it came from.

By Sergey Syrvachev — Director of Product Engineering at HyperStrong

Applies to: transmission connections — Type D power park modules (RfG art. 16), >=110 kV.

Part of: the grid-code ride-through chart — compare this against 65 other standards in 44 countries.

What this is, and is not. A reading aid compiled from the clause cited below — not a compliance document. The primary text governs. Every value here was read from a current primary source.

Breakpoints

Times are seconds from the start of the disturbance. Voltage is per-unit of nominal; frequency in hertz. An LVRT curve is a lower boundary (stay connected while voltage is on or above it), an HVRT curve an upper boundary, and FRT gives the band between its High and Low boundaries. These are the boundaries, not the behaviour: what holding one demands of the converter — reactive current injection, thermal stress, protection timing — is stepped through in the LVRT / HVRT ride-through visual.

Where these values come from

  • LVRTNetcode elektriciteit (versie 23-12-2023), artikel implementing NLE RfG 16(3)(a)(i), lid 3: 'Uret is 0 pu; Uclear is Uret; Urec1 is Uclear; Urec2 is 0,85 pu; tclear is 0,25 s; trec1 is tclear; trec2 is trec1; trec3 is 3,0 s' (besluiten ACM/UIT/509776 en ACM/UIT/575492); type-B PPM values in artikel 3.17 lid 3. The code defines a linear recovery ramp; the vertices are read from the clause and the chart draws the segment between them.

Any event not in the table above is not plotted for this code. Where an absence is itself the finding — a code that defines no high-voltage envelope, or one whose curves circulate under another country's name — it is recorded in the grid codes with no ride-through curve.
