The incorporation of Huawei’s SUN2000 family increases Isotrol’s connection coverage to more than 1.4 GW of installed capacity.
The oscillation damping report, commonly known as the POD certificate or POD report, is a mandatory oscillation assessment report from February 2022 for all types of renewable energy generation plants. It is valid for complying with requirement 5.10 of the NTS version 2.1 and NTS SENP version 1.1. Its availability, together with other reports and certificates, is essential for connecting renewable plants to the grid and enabling their operation within the electrical system.
Currently, the POD report can be obtained through two routes: option A, via individual plant certification, based on the PPC and inverter NTS certificate and a corresponding study, carried out by the owner of the plant; or option B, through a joint report from the PPC and inverter manufacturer for their devices. The latter has the advantage that, once the report has been completed, it is valid for any plant with that PPC + inverter combination, thereby reducing management times and avoiding the cost of the procedure.
Although it is always possible to obtain the report through option A (using the certifications already held by Isotrol), our experience leads us to continue working on expanding the number of manufacturers and inverter families covered under option B.
In this regard, we have just expanded this portfolio with a wide range of Huawei inverters, which are added to those already available on our Bluence® platform. With this latest addition, through Bluence® PPC, we are facilitating grid connection for more than 1.4 GW of installed capacity.
Milestones like this reaffirm our approach of collaborating with inverter manufacturers and certification bodies to expand the product base and make it easier for our clients to connect to the grid and operate their plants.
Strengthening Grid Compliance Through Strategic Partnerships
Regulatory requirements continue to update and evolve, meaning that having access to certified and scalable solutions is now essential for anyone working as a plant operator.
Bluence collaboration with inverter manufacturers is important for this, since it can simplify compliance while ensuring the grid is stable and reliable.
Bluence Simplifies POD Certification for Renewable Projects
By expanding the range of PPC–inverter combinations covered under option B POD reports, Bluence® PPC significantly reduces technical and administrative barriers to grid connection.
This approach shortens approval timelines, lowers certification costs, and enables faster deployment of renewable energy projects.
Through strategic partnerships with manufacturers such as Huawei, Bluence® reinforces its commitment to supporting efficient grid integration and facilitating the operation of more than 1.4 GW of installed renewable capacity.
