Asset Testing

Participants should agree a test plan with the System Operator when they intend to conduct any tests on their assets while connected to the system, and when the tests may impact on the System Operator's ability to comply with its PPOs. E.g. distributors conducting drop load tests and generators conducting reactive capability and load rejection tests.

Asset Owners are to use the Test Plan Form to notify the System Operator of their intention to conduct system tests. Completed forms should be submitted at least 7 days in advance - this allows the System Operator and Asset Owners to put in place any necessary operational plans to mitigate the effects of the tests. Where 7 days notice cannot be provided, you should provide as much notice as possible.

If you are an Asset Owner and are unsure whether system tests will affect the System Operator's ability to comply with the PPOs, please consult the Duty Operations Manager on (07) 843 0618 during normal business hours, or the Security Co-ordinator on 0800 488 500 after hours.
