Certification of power generation plants according to TOR generator

Due to the importance of electrical energy, it is necessary to create certain guidelines that guarantee its quality and also ensure supply reliability. The most important regulation for the European Union, which was published in the last years for the grid connection of power generation plants, is the regulation "Requirement for Generators", short "RfG", which represents a unification of the guidelines of the European power generation companies. It includes a large number of different specifications, both on technical framework conditions and on the way in which plants are certified. In Austria, the grid connection requirements are reflected in the TOR Erzeuger A, B, C and D.

The Institute for Electrical Power Systems is intensively involved in the topic of conformity verification, the way in which technical requirements can be proven in the best possible way both by tests and simulations, and the effects of different methods.
