The certification process was accompanied by the certification body Moeller Operating Engineering GmbH (M.O.E.). The cooperation between Energynautics and M.O.E. worked smoothly. The Darmstadt-based consulting company, which has many years of experience in the field of unit and plant modeling. With more than 70 simulation models for proof of compliance and more than 50 certified and validated models, Energynautics is the market leader for simulation models of generators with combustion engines in Germany and has developed more than 50% of all models of this type on the market.

The individual verification procedure is an alternative method to demonstrate compliance of generation equipment with the Grid Code in Germany. It includes four essential steps for obtaining the plant certificate C, which Energynautics has successively carried out for M.O.E., with the exception of measurement:

– Preliminary compliance study with a simulation model

– Measurements on the real plant

– Validation of the simulation model with the measured data

– Final compliance study with the validated model

Since the final compliance study has been passed, the plant may now be put into operation without any restrictions.

The particular challenge of the individual verification procedure lies in the validation and fine-tuning of the model with the measured data, as the allowed deviations between simulation and measurement are very small. Thanks to Energynautics‘ many years of experience in creating simulation models of power plants, the Darmstadt-based company was able to successfully adjust the model and meet the accuracy requirements.

Energynautics provides a wide range of consulting services for clients around the world, including modeling of converter-based systems (wind, PV). Find further information here: https://energynautics.com/en/services/
