OVERVIEW
A grid code is a technical specification which defines the parameters a
facility connected to a public electric grid has to meet to ensure safe, secure
and economic proper functioning of the electric system.

WORLD SCENARIO
Ability of the wind turbine to remain connected to the grid without tripping
from the grid for a specified period of time during a voltage drop at the
point of connection.
period of fault ride through depends on
magnitude of voltage drop at the Point of Common
Coupling (PCC) during the fault
time taken by the grid system to recover to the normal state.
During a fault that causes a voltage drop at the wind turbine terminals, the
reactive power demand of induction generators increases. Unless a reactive
power support is available at the generator terminals, the reactive power will
be drawn from the grid and further instability.
