PROJECT BACKGROUNDUK GRID CODE REQUIREMENT
The Primary Response capability (P) of a Generating Unit or a CCGT Module or Power Park Module or DC Converter is the minimum increase in Active Power output between 10 and 30 seconds after the start of the ramp injection.
The Secondary Response capability (S) is the minimum increase in Active Power output between 30 seconds and 30 minutes after the start of the ramp injection.
The High Frequency Response capability (H) of a Generating Unit or a CCGT Module or Power Park Module or DC Converter is the decrease in Active Power output provided 10 seconds after the start of the ramp injection and sustained thereafter.
