Technical Requirements
1.1
Harmonics
The generation of harmonics by the PV Systems shall not cause the maximum total
harmonic voltage distortion at the PCC to exceed total harmonic voltage distortion of
5%, with no individual odd harmonic greater than 4% and no individual even
harmonic greater than 2%. These limits include existing levels of harmonic distortion
at PCC.
1.2
1.3
Voltage Unbalance
The connection of the PV Systems shall not cause the maximum negative phase
sequence component of phase voltage at the PCC to exceed 1%.
1.4
DC Injection
DC injection into the distribution network is deprecated. DC injection into the
distribution network at the PCC shall not exceed 20mA under normal operating
condition, and not more than 0.5% of the PV inverter rating under any abnormal
operating conditions, with a maximum cap limit of 100mA. The Licensed Electrical
Worker (LEW) shall submit technical justification (including effect on the distribution
network) to SP PowerGrid (SPPG) for consideration, if their PV system DC injection
to the PCC deviates from this requirement.
1.5
Voltage Disturbance
The design operation of the PV systems shall take into consideration of voltage
disturbance phenomenon such as voltage dip in the distribution network.

Submission of Compliance
The LEW shall confirm compliance with regard to the PQ requirements specified in
Clause 1. This shall include but not limited to the following:
The above should be submitted to SPPG at the time of application to connect to the
distribution network or 2 weeks after the clarification with the SPPG officer.
Technical justification shall be submitted to SPPG for consideration for deviation or
non-compliance, if any.

INFORMATION TO BE SUBMITTED
The LEW responsible for the installation shall complete and submit the following to SPPG,
Power Quality and Transient Management (PQTM) Section.
1
General Information
State the level of supply voltage intake, and any non-compliance with the power quality
requirements as specified in Clause 1 of the Grid-Connected Photovoltaic System Of
Customers Installation Connected At Low Voltage - Power Quality.

Harmonics
2.1
State the Harmonic current (1st harmonic order to 50th harmonic order) contributed by
the PV Systems at point of common coupling (PCC) to the SP PowerAssets
electricity supply network.
2.2
For installations that have non-linear loads in addition to the PV Systems, 2 set of
harmonic current data to be provided. One set as above, and the other set shall be
for aggregation of the harmonic current injection at the PCC.
3.1
3.2
Voltage Unbalance
State maximum voltage unbalance (% of nominal voltage) at the PCC in relation to
PV Systems connection and operation.
DC Injection
Maximum DC injected into the network from the PV
Systems during normal and abnormal operating
conditions
Normal Condition
mA
Abnormal Condition =
mA
Yes / No
Yes / No
Note:(1) Isolation transformer installed, if any - please provide nameplate information, e.g.
KVA, voltage rating etc.
(2) DC injection detection device installed, if any - please provide DC injection trip
setting for the PV Systems.
