PNG Grid Code
The PNG Grid Code is a comprehensive set of rules and guidelines designed to ensure the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of the country’s electricity grid. It serves as a regulatory framework governing the connection and operation of generation, transmission, and distribution systems within the power grid.
The main objectives of the Grid Code are:
- Establish clear standards for connecting and operating the grid.
- Maintain stable voltage and frequency levels.
- Set safety protocols and performance criteria.
- Ensure power quality by limiting disturbances like voltage fluctuations.
- Plan for future demand and integration of new technologies.
The Grid Code applies to transmission network owners, system operators, power producers, regulated retailers, large load customers, and other users. It covers technical standards, connection requirements, performance criteria, safety protocols, and planning procedures for the transmission network.
This Grid Code is essential for managing the complexities of electricity generation and distribution in PNG, fostering a robust and equitable power sector that meets the needs of its population and supports economic growth. Compliance with the Grid Code is mandatory for all participants in the electricity sector.
