2 Storage requirements Track Change
 Approach for trach-changes

• Similar characteristics to a PPM: full new set of technical requirements coming from the NC and
not yet in the FGC

• Not an isolated chapter in the FGC => not the approach of having a “full grid code for storage”
 Use of references to technical requirements to PPM or PGM, when appropriate : to limit
double writing of the same rule
 To refer indirectly to the NC RfG, when the PPM or PGM articles are referring to the RfG
 Specific Sub-Section devoted for storage, to add readability in the FGC
 Limited to technical requirements
