Islanding in network codes. Given the absence of provisions governing temporary islanding in UK energy law, one must turn to network codes in order to identify the provisions relating to its three phases: disconnection, islanded operation and reconnection. Black-start, which is needed internally to secure the grid, is also part of this research. The main network code in the UK is simply named the Grid Code. It applies mostly to the transmission grid, but it contains a long list of definitions that apply to distribution systems [216].The concepts defined in the Grid Code, their activities or their size limits may therefore be relevant for the development of microgrids. Apart from the Grid Code, we also will analyse a network code and two standards that are specific to the distribution grid: the Distribution Code (Dcode) and Engineering Recommendations G98 and G99. The Grid Code defines the essential actors of the electricity system in a broader sense than the 1989 Electricity Act, especially because it considers, for technical purposes, generators, distributors (called “network operators”) and suppliers as such, even when they are exempt from having a license [217]. Similarly to the RfG NC (see section 3.2.1), it defines power stations (equivalent to RfG NC’s PGFs), PGMs and power park modules [218]. It also sets the thresholds between the different types of PGMs. These are very similar to the RfG NC thresholds provided in table 7 (see section 3.2.1), at the exception of type C PGMs starting at 10 MW and type D PGMs at 50 MW [219]. In addition, the Grid Code defines a small power station as a power station directly connected to the transmission system or embedded within a user system (e.g., at distribution level) and with a registered capacity that depends on its location. For Northern Scotland, where Orkney lies, the cap is set at 10 MW [220]. The classification as a small power station implies specific requirements for the connection and operation of both the PGMs and the small power stations itself For example, the Grid Code chapter on European connection conditions provides mandatory voltage control requirements for types C and D, similar optional requirements for type B and nothing about type A [221]. The section on fault-ride-through (FRT) only applies to types B, C and D [222]. Type C and D must provide ancillary services [223], and so on. Similarly, the chapter on Connection conditions (CC) of the Grid Code, which establishes the technical criteria that users need to comply wi...

Islanding in network codes. Adopting the same approach as in the 2019 E-Directive (see section 3.3.1), the December 2020 Act amending the Electricity Supply Act introduced the notion of islanding capacity (Ødriftkapacitet) into Danish law [266]. Together with black-start capacity (Dødstartskapacitet), it is part of the list of non- frequency ancillary services that network operators can use. Ødrift does not appear anywhere else in the Electricity Supply Act, the Act amending it or the CEC Order. Where it does appear, however, is in network codes and particularly in the grid connection codes for generation, implementing the EU RfG NC (see section 3.2)

Islanding in network codes. The EU network codes reviewed in section 3.2 directly apply in Portugal and therefore their conclusions vis-à-vis islanding as well. For this study, we assessed various ERSE regulations, including the Regulation on Access to Grid and Interconnections (Regulamento de Acesso às Redes e às Interligações – RARI [327]) and the Regulation on Smart Distribution Grid Services (Regulamento dos Serviços das Redes Inteligentes de distribuição de energia elétrica – RSRI [ 328 ]), but without finding any provisions specifically relevant for temporary islanding. However, other network codes provide elements regarding the possibility for potential microgrids to sell various services to system operators and third parties.

  • Local Switching BellSouth shall provide non-discriminatory access to local circuit switching capability, and local tandem switching capability, on an unbundled basis, except as set forth below in Section 3.1.3 to Mpower for the provision of a telecommunications service. BellSouth shall provide non-discriminatory access to packet switching capability on an unbundled basis to Mpower for the provision of a telecommunications service only in the limited circumstance described below in Section 3.3.4.6.

  • Loop Provisioning Involving Integrated Digital Loop Carriers 2.6.1 Where InterGlobe has requested an Unbundled Loop and BellSouth uses IDLC systems to provide the local service to the End User and BellSouth has a suitable alternate facility available, BellSouth will make such alternative facilities available to InterGlobe. If a suitable alternative facility is not available, then to the extent it is technically feasible, BellSouth will implement one of the following alternative arrangements for InterGlobe (e.g. hairpinning):

To the extent that CLEC has such an Embedded Base, CLEC shall only augment trunk groups in the Embedded Base with the mutual agreement of the Parties. CLEC shall not order any new one-way trunk groups following the Effective Date of this Agreement. Moreover, the Parties agree that the Embedded Base will be converted to two-way trunk groups under the following circumstances:

  • NON-NETWORK PROVIDER is a provider that has not entered into a contract with us or any other Blue Cross and Blue Shield plan. For pediatric dental care services, non-network provider is a dentist that has not entered into a contract with us or does not participate in the Dental Coast to Coast Network. For pediatric vision hardware services, a non-network provider is a provider that has not entered into a contract with EyeMed, our vision care service manager.

  • wire Unbundled ISDN Digital Loops These will be provisioned according to industry standards for 2-Wire Basic Rate ISDN services and will come standard with a test point, OC, and a DLR. NewPhone will be responsible for providing BellSouth with a Service Profile Identifier (SPID) associated with a particular ISDN-capable Loop and customer. With the SPID, BellSouth will be able to adequately test the circuit and ensure that it properly supports ISDN service.

  • Network Interconnection Architecture Each Party will plan, design, construct and maintain the facilities within their respective systems as are necessary and proper for the provision of traffic covered by this Agreement. These facilities include but are not limited to, a sufficient number of trunks to the point of interconnection with the tandem company, and sufficient interoffice and interexchange facilities and trunks between its own central offices to adequately handle traffic between all central offices within the service areas at P.01 grade of service or better. The provisioning and engineering of such services and facilities will comply with generally accepted industry methods and practices, and will observe the rules and regulations of the lawfully established tariffs applicable to the services provided.
