Grid code

A grid code is a technical specification which defines the parameters an facility connected to a public electric network has to meet to ensure safe, secure and economic proper functionning of the electric system. The facility can be an electricity generating plant, a consumer, or another network. The grid code is specified by an authority responsible for the system integrity and network operation. Its elaboration usually implicates network operators (distribution and/or tranmission operators), representative of users and to, an extent varying between countries, the regulating body.

Independent power producers

All generators including Independent power producers like photovoltaic power stations or wind farms have to comply with the grid code.
