Measurement and certification of controllable loads in the power grid

The expansion of renewable energies is reducing the share of thermal power plants in electricity generation. To date, however, these power plants have made a significant contribution to maintaining system stability, for example by providing balancing power. In order to replace thermal power plants in this area as well, controllable loads offer great potential alongside various other options, such as electricity storage. The integration of controllable loads into the electricity grid requires a clear specification in order to exploit the full potential of controllable loads. Controllable loads can be:

Unit and system certification is essential in order to secure the grid connection commitment and to be able to determine the contribution to system security and grid-forming properties. Future certification in accordance with the relevant VDE-AR-N 4105, 4110, 4120, 4130 and/or Technical Requirements for the Connection of Electrolysis Plants of the Transmission System Operators and the FGW TR 8 certification guidelines is intended to harmonize and streamline this process. These guidelines contribute to a reliable, modern and sustainable energy supply. The process ensures that the controllable loads meet the applicable technical and regulatory requirements and can therefore pass the operating permit procedure. M.O.E. offers everything from a single source, such as unit certification including measurement and model validation. In future, the unit certificate must be submitted with the application for grid connection. For larger systems, we expect a system certification procedure, which is then part of the operating permit procedure.

We are represented in all relevant committees, e.g. in the project groups of the FNN, DKE 261 for system aspects and flexible loads as well as in the FGW e.V. for certification, measurement and simulation. This means that we can provide you with the corresponding high level of guideline competence. Proposed solutions for new or special challenges and complex projects can be offered quickly.
