Plant certificate type B

Generation systems with a maximum active power of up to Pmax ≤ 950 kW are certified according to the plant certificate type B (simplified).

According to Solar Plan I, certification of the generation system is only required from a feed-in capacity of 270 kW or an installed capacity of more than 500 kW, refer to solar plan I system certification.

The plant certificate is an independent assessment of the electrical properties of your generation system.

We will examine and evaluate the following topics when assessing compliance with the grid operator's technical requirements:

• The electrical characteristics of the generating unit(s) to be certified as specified in the valid unit certificate(s)
• The behavior for static voltage stability
• Protection and control concept, active power control and grid security management

Compared to the standard procedure (plant certificate type A), the investigation of grid perturbations and dynamic and quasi-dynamic behavior is not required.

In our online portal, we provide a recognized procedure in the form of a checklist and examples of the documents and questionnaires required for the evaluation in accordance with VDE-AR-N 4110 to verify the electrical properties of power generation systems. This procedure allows both experienced and inexperienced system operators/electrical planners to fully record the electrical properties in accordance with VDE-AR-N 4110.

The price for the type B plant certificate is usually less than €5,000. Higher costs may be incurred if several generation units are installed.
