Royal Decree 661/2007
- NEW FACILITIES
- LVRT requirements fulfillment is mandatory since
January 1st 2008 - - Failure to comply with this entails loosing
the bonus in the market option - OLD FACILITIES
- - Old wind farms registered before January 1st
2008 must be adjusted to - LVRT requirements until January 1st 2010.
- An additional complement of 0,38 c/KWh is
recognized only for old WFs - for a maximum period of 5 years and before
January 1st 2014 - - Failure to comply with this entails loosing
the bonus in the market option

disconnection - Operation point previous to the test according
to partial or full load specifications - Residual voltage level during no-load test in
accordance with next table

Validation procedure according O.P.12.3
Good level of accuracy in model can be achieved
using real field test recorders for all wind
turbine technology
Some Spanish companies are accredited by ENAC
(Spanish Accreditation Body) to follow
completely this procedure according the PVVC and
O.P. 12.3
General procedure and Validation model have been
set in motion from year 2008

28Conclusions
O.P.12.3 is one of the most exigent grid codes in
the world as regard of requirements for exchange
energy and power and unbalance faults. All these
requirements are specified at the point of common
coupling
Wind Energy penetration in the Spanish Power
Systems for the future depends on the adaptation
of most than 75 of existing wind farms for LVRT
requirements
Wind energy sector together with Spanish TSO and
coordinated from AEE have developed the PVVC
which includes some interesting contribution as
regards numerical model validation of WT and
FACTS, simulation of WFs
At present a Certification Procedure operates
successfully with more than 3.000 MW accredited
for LVRT requirements
