Validation study
The CENACE must carry out the validation of technical requirements, in order to verify with the real information
of the power plant or the load centers provided by the applicant for the validation of technical requirements,
that the power plant or the load centers comply with: i) with the specific characteristics of the infrastructure required
to carry out the interconnection or connection determined by CENACE as a result of the interconnection or connection studies and
ii) with the general and specific requirements of the network code.
ET - Transient stability analysis
It will understand the behavior of the electrical system, by the integration of the power station
or the load center under study, to verify the angular and voltage behavior in the first oscillation,
interactions of protection schemes with power oscillations, dynamic deviations of the frequency,
damping of oscillations and in general the stability level of the SEN.
CE - Coordination of schemes
CENACE carries out the necessary studies to determine the adjustments that are required
for the correct coordination of the Remedial Action Schemes (EAR - "Esquemas de Acción Remedial")
and System Protection Scheme (EPS - "Esquema de Protección de Sistema")
that are implemented and could be affected by the interconnection effect of a power station
or before the connection of a load center.
ACE - Analysis of the quality of energy
Quality Analysis of the Energy Service (ACSE - "Análisis de Calidad del Servicio de Energía"):
Evaluation of the quality of the electric power
influenced by the harmonic content of current and voltage, voltage variations and flicker rates,
depressions or sags, overvoltages ( swells), voltage and current imbalances, etc., by the connection
of high-capacity non-linear loads, such as fluctuating loads (electric arc furnaces,
continuous arc welding machines, continuous saws, etc.), impulsive and intermittent loads
(motors of induction, large cranes, punching machines, etc.). distorting loads
(induction furnaces, electrolytic tanks, large frequency variators, etc.) and
the interconnection of power plants of renewable, fluctuating, intermittent and distributed generation.
