Technical and organizational rules for operators and users of networks
Abbreviated as TOR , the T echnical and o rganizational R ules for users and operators of networks in Austria called. These regulate the interoperability of network use in electrical energy technology between network operators and network users.
Compulsory use and publication
The TOR is a multi-part, comprehensive technical and organizational set of rules that must be applied in Austria for operators and users of public electrical energy networks, which, on the basis of Section 22 (2) of the Energy Control Act, was developed by Energie-Control Austria for the regulation of electricity and natural gas industry was developed in cooperation with the network operators. The set of rules is freely available on the Energie-Control GmbH website. This version is considered to be the authentic version of the TOR and Energie-Control Austria for the regulation of the electricity and natural gas industries is responsible for the content.
Basis and goals
The TOR are based on the regulations of other European network operators (national grid codes) and on the rules and operating philosophy of the UCTE , which contain national Austrian peculiarities.
Goals are
- adequate security of supply;
- a largely trouble-free network operation, i.e. the interoperability of generation plants, transmission and distribution networks, as well as the systems of network users under competitive conditions;
- the technical management of transport services (TDL) in the undisturbed operating condition as well as in the case of a simple malfunction;
- a suitable and reliable platform for the liberalized transport of electrical energy via the interconnected networks;
to guarantee or to ensure.
structure
The TOR are divided into several parts and subsections or annexes in different versions and are adapted to the technical status and constantly expanded:
- Part A (general, definitions, source reference)
- Part B (technical rules for networks with nominal voltage ≥ 110 kV)
- Appendix C (VEÖ recommendations for data transfer between network operators)
- Part C (technical rules for networks with nominal voltage <110 kV)
- Part D (special technical rules)
- Part D, main section D1 (electrical equipment relevant to network feedback)
- Part D, main section D2 (guideline for the assessment of network disturbances)
- Part D, main section D3 (audio frequency ripple control)
- Part D, main section D4 (parallel operation of generating plants with distribution networks)
- Part E (technical measures to avoid major disruptions and limit their effects)
- Part F (Technical rules for metered value acquisition and metered value transmission)
