New rules and grid codes to connect generators to the grid are emerging worldwide. In every country or region, the operators responsible for the safety and reliability of the power system have established different requirements to connect renewable generation systems to transmission and distribution networks.

Some of the functions can be verified off-line or on-line. DIgSILENT GridCode is already being used by manufacturers and laboratories during field testing of wind turbines to verify compliance.
