Power generating systems (PGS)
We evaluate and confirm compliance with applicable grid code requirements, including calculating the reactive power capability's load flow, dynamic simulation of the LVRT/HVRT response and evaluation of the protection and control system at all points of common coupling.

PGS grid code compliance standards
We test and certify many different utility-scale systems such as solar power parks, wind installations, energy storage applications, microgrids and DER systems according to several grid codes.
UL Solutions also offers evaluation services that provide valuable performance insights that are critical for gride code compliance, including:
- Power plant static and dynamic (electromechanical and electromagnetic) modeling
- Low and high-voltage ride-through simulations
- Power quality investigations
- Short circuiting inquiries
- Protection coordination analysis
- Electrical losses evaluation
- Load flow calculation
- Additional power grid studies and on-field quality assurance inspections
