# Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/1388 of 17 August 2016 establishing a Network Code on Demand Connection (Text with EEA relevance), Article 43: Compliance simulations for transmission-connected distribution facilities

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

1. With regard to the reactive power capability simulation of a transmission-connected distribution facility:
(a) a steady-state load flow simulation model of the network of the transmission-connected distribution system shall be used in order to calculate the reactive power exchange under different load and generation conditions;
(b) a combination of steady-state minimum and maximum load and generation conditions resulting in the lowest and highest reactive power exchange shall be part of the simulations;
(c) calculating the reactive power export at an active power flow of less than 25 % of the maximum import capability at the connection point shall be part of the simulations in accordance with Article 15.
2. The relevant TSO may specify the method for compliance simulation of the active control of reactive power set out in Article 15(3).
3. The simulation shall be deemed passed if the results demonstrate compliance with the requirements set out in Article 15.
