According to the grid connection guidelines, power generation units (PGUs) must be able to withstand grid faults without shutting down. The guidelines define the behavior of the PGU during these faults. However, there are currently no requirements for the transient time range immediately after the occurrence and clearing of faults. As a result, PGUs may behave incorrectly or even switch off due to these transients. In the future, it will be increasingly critical to consider the behavior of the grid as it becomes more defined by the behavior of the PGU. This is due to the growing share of power electronic generation in the total generation. This is particularly important for grid-forming converters, which will be necessary to maintain grid stability. | Duration: 10/2023 - 09/2026
