ESB Distributed Generation - DS3 Monitoring & Reporting
As part of the DS3 programme, service providers like ESB Distributed Generation are required to provide detailed reports to EirGrid on the performance of generation units during grid events.
Client:
ESB Generation & Trading
Location:
Ireland
Premium Power Role:
Grid Compliance Consultant
Project Description
Having previously worked with ESB Distributed Generation, we were familiar with their generation portfolio and they knew of our expertise in the areas of power monitoring.
We were able to recommend and install a customised, advanced monitoring solution. Our solutions integrate with local SCADA systems to provide common timestamping on all relevant data.
Project Challenges
EirGrid required detailed reporting in a number of predefined network scenarios. Generators must meet very specific performance criteria when responding to network events. These events such as Fast Frequency Response (FFR), Fast Post Fault Active Power Recover (FPFAPR) and Reserve Response events such as Primary Operating Response (POR) require accurate and high speed recording and reporting of data.
Project Outcomes
ESB Generation and Trading can now demonstrate their compliance to EirGrid’s DS3 services on a site by site basis. We provided a central power monitoring system that allows logging of power quality events along with generation of reports and track events, giving overall better visibility and transparency of their asset behaviour.
