Connection Conditions CC.8.1.2 CC.8.1.2.1 6C.8.13 CC.8.1.3.1 CC.6.1.4 €C.6.1.4.1 CC.8.1.4.2 Compliance Generating Units connecting to the Distribution System and operating in parallel with, or which are capable of being operated in parallel with the Distribution System, shall comply with the ESPM. If an existing User does not comply with the technical and design standards set down in CC.6, or cannot comply (for technical or economic or other reasons) with the requirements of this section, the User shall seek derogation from the provision from WERA. Where a Generating Unit is to be installed and operated in parallel with the Distribution System within an existing User's installation, the DSP shall be informed. The DSP has the nght to inspect generating installations to ensure that the requirements are met. In some cases, the DSP may require a demonstration by Operation of the Generating Unit. Such demonstrations shall be by agreement with the User. DSP has the right to witness The DSP has the right to witness aspects of the commissioning testing of a Generating Unit and the Harmonic emissions testing or Flicker compliance testing of any Plant. The DSP will signal its intention to witness tests in a timely manner. Power Factor Each User with Demand shall maintain a Power Factor of not less than 0.85 lagging at the interface with the DSP. No User shall present a leading Power Factor to the DSP system unless resulting from Operation of its Generation as agreed or instructed by the DSP. Change in Power Factor range By 21.10.1438 H. Users must improve their Demand related Power Factor to not less than 0.90 lagging and by 21.10.1443 H to a minimum of 0.95 lagging. The DSP may require proof that this has been achieved. Users with both generation and Demand shall not transgress any Power Factor or Reactive Power limits set down in their Connection Agreement or notified to them by the DSP further to the performance conditions of this Distribution Code. Phase Unbalance Under normal system conditions the three-phase Voltages shall be balanced at MV, and higher Voltages in the system, such that the negative-phase-sequence Voltage does not exceed 2% of the positive phase sequence Voltage. Phase Unbalance for Users with a Dedicated Transformer Users with a dedicated transformer shall ensure that their loads are so balanced that load unbalance which they create on the MV system meets the User negative-phase-sequence current criteria of 1%. Phase Unbalance for Users supplied at 13.8kV Users supplied at 13.8kV or a higher Voltage shall balance their loads, such that the load phase unbalance at the Customer User interface meets the User negative-phase-sequence current criteria of 1%.
