Current No. The regulation needed to be prepared Short description Articol Number from Regulation Estimated date Technical norm regarding general and specific requirements for grid connection of: transmission-connected demand facilities; distribution facilities; distribution systems; demand used to provide demand response services. For the transmission-connected demand facilities, the distribution facilities and for the distribution systems there are requirements regarding the frequency, the voltage, the short-circuit currents, the reactive power, the protection systems, the control systems, the exchange information with the relevant TSO, the quality of energy in the connection point, the mathematical simulation models. The technical norm include specific requirements for the demand units with active power control, with demand response reactive power control and with demand response transmission constraint management. Also, the technical norm shall include specific requirements for the demand units with demand response system frequency control and for demand units with demand response very fast active power control. Art.12-21, 27-30 Q1 2017 –Q4 2017 The document is prepared by the TSO in cooperation with adjacent distribution system operators, public consultation and approval 2) The operational notification procedure for grid connection of: a new transmission-connected demand facility; a new transmission-connected distribution facility; a new distribution system; demand units used to provide demand response services to sytems operators and verification compliance The procedure contains in two parts: a) The operational notification process through each new transmission-connected demand facility owner, or each new transmission-connected distribution system operator notify the TSO about energisation operational notification, Art. 22-26, 31-47 Q3 2017 –Q1 2018 The document is prepared by the TSO in cooperation with adjacent distribution system operators, public consultation and approval
4) Cost-benefit analysis methodology used to identify the requirements of the the technical norm that shall be fulfill by existing transmission-connected demand facilities, the existing transmission-connected distribution facilities, existing distribution systems and existing demand units , as well as for identifying the requirements of the technical norm which not applies to transmission-connected demand facilities, the transmission-connected distribution facilities, distribution systems and demand units used to provide demand response services, for which derogation is required . TSO develops a methodology regarding the qualitative and quantitative analysis of costs and benefits which outcomes from the application of the technical norm requirements to existing demand facilities, to the existing transmission-connected distribution facilities, to the existing distribution systems and to the existing demand units, as well as regarding the disapplication of some requirements mentioned in technical norm for the transmission-connected demand facilities, the distribution facilities, distribution systems and demand units used to provide demand response services, for which derogation is required. Art. 4, 48, 49 Q2 2017 –Q3 2017 The document is prepared by the TSO in cooperation with adjacent distribution system operators, public consultation and approval. 5) Criteria for granting derogations for one or more requirements mentioned in the technical norm for demand facilities, for the transmission-connected distribution facilities, for the distribution systems and for the demand units used to provide demand response services. NRA specifies, after consulting the relevant system operators, the demand facility owners, the DSO, closed system distribution system operators and other stakeholders whom it deems affected by requirements of the technical norm, the criteria for granting derogations for one or more requirements mentioned in technical norms for the transmission-connected demand facilities, the transmission-connected distribution facilities, distribution systems and demand units used to Art.51 Q1 2017 –Q2 2017 A Draft Paper is prepared by the ANRE, public consultation and approval, submission to the Commission and publication
provide demand response services, for the new and for the existing. NRA publishes those criteria on its website and notifies them to the Commission within 9 months from entry into force of this Regulation. (6) The procedure of granting derogations from one or more requirements mentioned in the technical norm for transmission-connected demand facilities, the transmission-connected distribution facilities, the distribution systems and the demand units used to provide demand response services. NRA approves the procedure of granting derogations prepared by the TSO, the end of the public consultation process from where the derogation criteria are set. This process is not affected by the favourable or unfavourable recommendation of the Commission regarding the NRA proposal related to the criteria for the established derogations. Art.52-55 Q1 2018 –Q2 2018 A Draft Paper is prepared by the TSO in cooperation with adjacent distribution system operators, public consultation and approval.
