If not satisfied, shall advise removal of faults /observations

After rectification, repeat the request and get NOC

The protection and control single line diagrams for the interconnection are to be provided by the Distributed Generator (DG) for commissioning of net-metering

As per NEPRA’s regulations, the grid-connected inverters shall comply with UL 1741 standard.

Other standards for the components are:

  1. IEEE 1547 2003
  2. IEC 61215
  3. EN or other international standards

For the DGs having an installed capacity of more than 500kW, load flow study (on PSSE software) is compulsory, and for the distributed generation facilities having a capacity less than 500kW, load flow study can be carried out using FDRANA.
