PI countries & Territories
Network Impact
Options
Power System Network
Modelling using Power System
Analysis Software
Performance of baseline power
flow study for "As-Is" network
confirmance
Range of system stability &
power quality studies to assess
the impact of VRE integration
into the Power system. The
stuides will also address the
HVRT & LVRT capability
requirements for VRE
integration.
Assessment of grid constraints in
transmissions and/or distribution
network.
Addressing the network planning
requirements for VRE integration
Energy Storage
Development
Energy storage grid feasibility
studies for the Pacific Islands
power systems- medium term
and long -term horizon.
Outlining the best suitable
ENergy Storage Options for the
Pacific Islands power system.
Development of operational &
network investment strategy
Development of overall startegy
for grid scale Energy storage
integration.
The Energy Storage feasibility
study will performed considering
following key aspects:
Reduction in system inertia
resulting from an increase in
VRE.
New renewable plants being
built in remote locations at the
end of long power lines
Prevalence of grid constraints in
transmission and/or distribution
network
Poor coverage of distribution
grid and/or poor access to
energy.
Unreliable or poor quality
supply of grid power to
productive industries.
Grid Code

Review of existing gid codes
Gap assessment
Highlighting best practices
adopted worldwide for RE
Integration code
Development of guidelines for RE
grid interconnection and drafting
VRE integration code specific to
the country power system
requirements
