Wind Generating Facilities Testing Post Connection
34(1) Following connection of any wind generating facilities to the transmission system, those facilities
must be tested by the owner in accordance with the provisions of subsection 34(2) below and the test
results and report must be provided as per the ISO document “Requirements for Model Validation” no later
than thirty (30) days following the date upon which wind speed conditions reasonably will allow for the tests
to be conducted.
(2) The following specific tests must be completed:
(a) A voltage regulation system and reactive power response test, which demonstrates the ability of the
wind generating facilities to control the collector and transmission system voltage in a stable
manner, and which test consists of injecting a test signal to the voltage reference point of the voltage
regulation system;
(b) A reactive power capability test, which demonstrates the ability of the wind generating facilities to
provide continuous reactive power in accordance with the any applicable standards set out in the ISO
rules;
(c) A voltage set-point capability test, which demonstrates the ability of the wind generating facilities to
adjust the voltage set-point of the voltage regulation system to any applicable standards set out in
the ISO rules;
(d) A harmonic test as may be required by the ISO , which will demonstrate that harmonic levels for the
wind generating facilities are within the limits of IEEE 519; and
(e) A flicker test as may be required by the ISO, which will confirm that the flicker levels for the wind
generating facilities are within the specifications set out in subsection 21.
