1. Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide a guideline for the submission and validation
requirements for the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) 2nd generation
model parameters of the connecting Power Park Modules (PPMs) to the Irish electrical
network covering only the following types of generators:

• Wind Farms

• Solar Photovoltaic Plants

• Battery Energy Storage Power Stations

The Synchronous Power Generating Modules (SPGM) and HVDC are out of the scope
of this document as full detailed models are required for those connections.

Presently, EirGrid requests detailed dynamic models of the connecting facilities for Fault
Ride-Through (FRT) studies. Information on the requirements of the FRT studies and
FRT dynamic models can be found in the FRT template provided in EirGrid’s library [1].

Besides the FRT dynamic models with vendor-specific libraries, the WECC generic
models of the facilities are still needed because the control centres in Ireland and
Northern Ireland use 2nd generation WECC generic models to assess the impact and
performance of the facilities on the transmission system in real time operations.

The FRT dynamic model is expected to be a detailed Root-Mean-Square (RMS)

representation of the facility using vendor-specific libraries which are hard-coded and are
not disclosed to users for confidentiality reasons. The vendor libraries are regarded as
“black box” with essentially unknown characteristics. On the other hand, generic models
provide a medium for the manufacturers to represent their equipment without revealing
any proprietary data to other users. The detailed RMS-based dynamic models are of
great importance, but generic models are used in real-time operations due to the
limitations and complexities presented by the vendor specific libraries.

The 2nd generation generic models developed by WECC are RMS-based positive
sequence reduced order models reflecting normal operation controls as well as the
dynamic controls managed by the generation units. They are non-proprietary and
accessible to all users without the need for non-disclosure agreements. Further
information on WECC generic models can be found in [2] and [3].

EirGrid also provides a spreadsheet titled “WECC-Model-Submission-Spreadsheet-

v1.0.xlsx” to the customers to be used in the parameter submissions. Check up-to-date
version in EirGrid’s Library. The current version (v1.0) of the spreadsheet is available in
[4].

Note that for a realistic assessment, the submitted models must reflect site-specific
parameters. Generic values for the parameters will not be accepted.

The sections are briefly described below:

WECC Model Requirements • Feb. 2022 Page 7

 • In the second section, the WECC models are specified for each type of the
generator.

• In the third section, testing requirements for validation studies are described.

• In the appendices, the tables from the spreadsheet are given for the
completeness of this document.

All the TSO PPM customers are requested to submit WECC 2nd generation models of
their facility to EirGrid. For the DSO PPM customers, it depends on the voltage level of
the Connection Point (CP) and Registered Capacity of the facility as given in the following
table.

The indicative timeline for the submission of the WECC model parameters is given in the
figure below. Customers are required to submit an initial version of the parameters at
least 3 months before the scheduled energisation of the facility. After the completion of
Grid Code Compliance (GCC) Tests including approval of the pertaining test reports by
EirGrid, a validation report should be submitted no later than 6 weeks demonstrating that
the provided set of values reflect the site-specific configuration of the generation units.

2. Grid Code Requirements
In the Grid Code, a PPM is defined as a generation unit or ensemble of generation units
generating electricity which is connected to the network non-synchronously or through
power electronics, and has a single connection point onshore to a transmission system,
distribution system, or HVDC system.

Note that Battery Energy Storage Power Stations (ESPS) can also be called Battery
Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and are classified as PPMs.

The active Grid Code and Distribution Code at the time of preparation of this document
are as follows:

• The EirGrid Grid Code: Version 9, 21/12/2020.

Check up-to-date version in [5].

• The ESB Networks Distribution Code: Version 7, 06/08/2020.

Check up-to-date version in [6].

The modelling requirements are specified in Grid Code PC.A8 and Distribution Code
DCC11.7. See the following excerpts from the Grid Code:

• Grid Code PC.A8.1: Introduction

o The TSO requires suitable and accurate dynamic Models for all Users
connected to, or applying for a connection to, the Transmission System, in
order to assess the impact of the proposed installation on the transient and
dynamic performance, and security and stability of the Power System for a
range of timeframes, disturbances and system conditions. The TSO bases the
safe and secure design and operation of the Power System on the Models
provided by the Users. All Users of the Power System shall provide suitable
Models of their Plant in a timeframe and manner specified by the TSO in this
Grid Code.

• Grid Code PC.A8.6: Validation of Model

o The User shall simulate the dynamic Models such that Model outputs can be
compared against measurements from Grid Code compliance testing to
ensure appropriate responses from the Model.

o After commissioning, the User shall provide the TSO with documentation
comparing the predicted behaviour of the balanced, root mean square,
positive phase-sequence time-domain Model against the tested performance.

o The TSO shall also perform studies and ongoing validation to ensure that
Models submitted by the User are representative of the User’s Plant
throughout its operational lifetime.

WECC Model Requirements • Feb. 2022 Page 9

 o If the on-site measurements, Grid Code compliance tests or other information
provided indicate that the dynamic Model is not valid in one or more respects,
the User shall provide the revised dynamic Model, source code and
documentation whose behaviour corresponds to the observed on-site
behaviour as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any case no longer than
90 Business Days after the conclusion of the Grid Code compliance tests.

The RfG and Non-RfG Generation Units are described in the Grid Code as follows:

1. RfG Generation Unit:

Indicated with the symbol of ○ . A Generation Unit that is not a Non-RfG

Generation Unit.

2. Non-RfG Generation Unit:

Indicated with the symbol of ○ . A Generation Unit with a signed Connection

Agreement:

a) Connected to the Network on or before the 30th November 2018; or

b) Whose owner has concluded a final and binding contract for the purchase of
the main Plant on or before the 30th November 2018 and provides evidence
of same, as acknowledged by the TSO, on or before the 31st May 2019.
Such evidence shall at least contain the contract title, its date of signature
and date of entry into force, and the specifications of the main Plant to be
constructed, assembled, or purchased; or

c) Is one of the exceptions to the applicability of the RfG Generation Unit

requirements and is a Generation Unit as follows:

(i) Installed to provide back-up power and operate in parallel with the
Network for less than five minutes per calendar month while the system
is in normal system state; or

(ii) No permanent Connection Point and is used by the TSO to temporarily

provide power when normal system capacity is partly or completely
unavailable; or

(iii) Energy Storage Units except for Pumped Storage Plant.

A Non-RfG Generation Unit that undergoes modernisation, refurbishment or

replacement of equipment which drives a modification to its Connection
Agreement, and had concluded a final and binding contract for the purchase of
the Plant being modified after the 30th November 2018 will be deemed an RfG
Generation Unit, unless the Plant being modified is one of the exceptions listed
in c) above.

3. WECC Models
The required 2nd generation WECC generic models for each type of generator are listed
in the table below. The model parameters are expected to be site-specific.

If a 2nd generation WECC model is not available for a plant, and for the generator types
not listed in the table below, contact EirGrid.

The model names are given in the PSS/E v34 format just for information purposes. The
set values of the parameters are required to be submitted through the provided
spreadsheet by EirGrid.

If the parameters change in different operating modes, this should be clearly indicated
along with the associated values.

For Battery ESPS connections, the WECC model parameters for all operating modes
including the five frequency response modes are required to be submitted.

WECC Model Requirements • Feb. 2022 Page 11

4. Validation Report
The dynamic models play a crucial role in the real-time stability analysis of the
transmission network. Generic parameters are not acceptable and submitted models
should reflect site-specific behaviour of the generation units. Therefore, validation of the
submitted parameters against on-site Grid Code Compliance tests is required. EirGrid
require that the WECC 2nd generation models are validated against site specific Grid
Code Compliance tests.

Information on the Grid Code Compliance & Testing procedures is available on EirGrid’s
website [7].

The required Grid Code Compliance tests for validation purposes are as follows:

• Frequency Response Tests

• Reactive Power Control Tests

The validation report should demonstrate that the WECC models provided prior to
energisation can reproduce with reasonable accuracy the Grid Code Compliance tests
for that specific site.

The actual set points and measurements taken during the Grid Code Compliance tests
should be considered for validation purposes.

If any control parameters have been re-tuned during commissioning tests, these should
be highlighted in the report and the updated parameters and set values should be
submitted to EirGrid.

Any software capable of running dynamic studies can be used for the validation of WECC
model parameters.

The simulation outputs of the submitted model should be compared against recorded
results of the tests at the physical site. The comparison can be done by plotting the
outputs on graphs. Evaluation on the obtained results is required.

Note that there might be updates in the Grid Code Compliance templates and different
procedures might be followed for older connections. Also, there might be differences in
the specified test parameters and on-site measurements due to generator specifications
or other conditions. Use the on-site setpoint values, measurements and the test
procedures for reference in the validation studies.

EirGrid is primarily interested in the verification of the dynamic aspects of the Grid Code
tests. For the tests with extensive duration, it is possible to split the simulations and focus
only on the time periods where the dynamic response is provided.

Also note that a sufficient state-of-charge level could be assumed for the simulation
studies of Battery ESPS units.

WECC Model Requirements • Feb. 2022 Page 12

4.1. Frequency Response Tests
The purpose of the Grid Code Compliance Frequency Response Tests is to demonstrate
that the active power output of the generators is correctly altered for simulated
frequencies.

The frequency response tests for the validation studies are listed in the following table.

WECC Model Requirements • Feb. 2022 Page 13

4.2. Reactive Power Control Tests
The purpose of the Grid Code Compliance Reactive Power Control Tests is to confirm
correct operation of Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) system of the facilities in
Voltage Regulation (kV), Reactive Power (Q) and Power Factor (PF) modes, and also
changing between these modes.

WECC Model Requirements • Feb. 2022 Page 14

4.3. Accuracy Requirements
The limitations of using generic models to emulate the behaviour of actual systems are
acknowledged. The responses of the facilities should be simulated in a reasonable
manner and as accurately as the generic models allow. Therefore, the accuracy
requirements should be considered as target values to reach. There could be deviations
out of the given limits. In such cases, the results should be analysed and discussed if it
is possible to obtain more accurate responses while adjusting the parameters of the
WECC models.

The validation studies shall have the following accuracy requirements:

• For a linear response over a frequency range of 0.1 to 5 Hz, deviations between
simulated and measured waveforms of the control system must be less than 10% for
amplitude and less than 5 degrees for the phase angle. Discrete waveform changes
(amplitude spikes) on the simulated waveform should be less than 10% in relation to
measured quantity and in the case of where this level is exceeded due to numerical
integration issues, this should be documented in the report.

• For dynamic time domain simulations where non-linear response is included to

replicate set point changes or response to disturbances on the wider network, the
following requirements apply for deviations between simulated and measured
responses:

o Oscillation in active power, reactive power, voltage and frequency in the 0.1-5Hz
range must have damping and the deviation in the frequency of oscillation must
be less than 10% for 95% of the recorded samples;

o Considering possible difference in the voltage at the connection point, deviation

in generator response (active power, reactive power, etc.) must be less than 10%
for 95% of the samples;

o Considering possible difference in the final settled value of voltage at the

connection point, the final value of generator response (active power, reactive
power, etc.) must settle to within 2% of the plants rated capacity.
