View as Markdown

Appendix A: Data Submission Requirements

Every test must include:

  • Raw time-series (CSV)
  • Summary plots (PDF)
  • Test configuration (single-line of test setup, controller settings, SOC)
  • Pass/fail statement tied to criteria
  • Known issues and deviations list

Appendix B: Core Requirements Checklist

Partners must fill out a one-page checklist mapping: Core Requirement → Test IDs → Evidence references.

Appendix C: Partner Model Package Requirements

Minimum:

  • EMT model (PSCAD/EMTDC, RTDS, or equivalent), including control blocks
  • dq impedance plots at:
    • 10%, 50%, 100% P
    • High and low Q
    • Multiple SCR values
  • Nyquist/passivity artifact and interpretation
  • Version-controlled parameter export
Model Validity

Models that cannot reproduce hardware behavior within stated tolerances are invalid.

Appendix D: Industrial Standards and Regulatory Certificates

Partners must provide a list of industrial standards the system is designed to comply with, as well as test certificates granted by countries or economic areas. Key standards include:

  • IEEE 1547-2018, IEEE 2800
  • UL 9540 / UL 9540A
  • NFPA 855
  • CE/UKCA
  • RoHS/REACH
  • IEC 60068
  • ISO 9001
  • NERC Reliability Guidelines
  • NERC CIP (Critical Infrastructure Protection)
  • IEC 62443 (Industrial Automation and Control Systems Security)
  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)
