Article 25 Operational security limits

United Kingdom

Each TSO shall specify the operational security limits for each element of its transmission system, taking into account at least the following physical characteristics:

(a)

voltage limits in accordance with Article 27;

(b)

short-circuit current limits according to Article 30; and

(c)

current limits in terms of thermal rating including the transitory admissible overloads.

When defining the operational security limits, each TSO shall take into account the capabilities of SGUs to prevent that voltage ranges and frequency limits in normal and alert states lead to their disconnection.

In case of changes of one of its transmission system elements, each TSO shall validate and where necessary update the operational security limits.

For each interconnector each TSO shall F1, where applicable, endeavour to agree with the neighbouring TSO on common operational security limits in accordance with paragraph 1.
