DRC.1 INTRODUCTION
DRC.1.1 The Data Registration Code ("DRC") presents a unified listing of all data required by NGET
from Users and by Users from NGET, from time to time under the Grid Code. The data
which is specified in each section of the Grid Code is collated here in the DRC. Where
there is any inconsistency in the data requirements under any particular section of the Grid
Code and the Data Registration Code the provisions of the particular section of the Grid
Code shall prevail.
DRC.1.2 The DRC identifies the section of the Grid Code under which each item of data is required.
DRC.1.3 The Code under which any item of data is required specifies procedures and timings for the
supply of that data, for routine updating and for recording temporary or permanent changes
to that data. All timetables for the provision of data are repeated in the DRC.
DRC.1.4 Various sections of the Grid Code also specify information which the Users will receive
from NGET. This information is summarised in a single schedule in the DRC (Schedule 9).
DRC.1.5 The categorisation of data into DPD I and DPD II is indicated in the DRC below.

DRC.2 OBJECTIVE
The objective of the DRC is to:
DRC.2.1 List and collate all the data to be provided by each category of User to NGET under the
Grid Code.
DRC.2.2 List all the data to be provided by NGET to each category of User under the Grid Code.

Operating Codes and Balancing Codes and repeated in tabular form in the schedules to
the DRC.

DRC.5 PROCEDURES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

DRC.5.1 Responsibility For Submission And Updating Of Data

In accordance with the provisions of the various sections of the Grid Code, each User must
submit data as summarised in DRC.6 and listed and collated in the attached schedules.
DRC.5.2 Methods Of Submitting Data
DRC.5.2.1 Wherever possible the data schedules to the DRC are structured to serve as standard
formats for data submission and such format must be used for the written submission of
data to NGET.
DRC.5.2.2 Data must be submitted to the Transmission Control Centre notified by NGET or to such
other department or address as NGET may from time to time advise. The name of the
person at the User Site who is submitting each schedule of data must be included.
DRC.5.2.3 Where a computer data link exists between a User and NGET, data may be submitted via
this link. NGET will, in this situation, provide computer files for completion by the User
containing all the data in the corresponding DRC schedule.
Data submitted can be in an electronic format using a proforma to be supplied by NGET or
other format to be agreed annually in advance with NGET. In all cases the data must be
complete and relate to, and relate only to, what is required by the relevant section of the
Grid Code.
DRC.5.2.4 Other modes of data transfer, such as magnetic tape, may be utilised if NGET gives its prior
written consent.
DRC.5.2.5 Generators and DC Converter Station owners submitting data for a Generating Unit, DC

DRC.5.3 Changes To Users' Data
DRC.5.3.1 Whenever a User becomes aware of a change to an item of data which is registered with
NGET the User must notify NGET in accordance with each section of the Grid Code. The
method and timing of the notification to NGET is set out in each section of the Grid Code.
DRC.5.4 Data Not Supplied
DRC.5.4.1 Users and NGET are obliged to supply data as set out in the individual sections of the Grid
Code and repeated in the DRC. If a User fails to supply data when required by any section
of the Grid Code, NGET will estimate such data if and when, in the NGET's view, it is
necessary to do so. If NGET fails to supply data when required by any section of the Grid
Code, the User to whom that data ought to have been supplied, will estimate such data if
and when, in that User's view, it is necessary to do so. Such estimates will, in each case,
be based upon data supplied previously for the same Plant or Apparatus or upon
corresponding data for similar Plant or Apparatus or upon such other information as NGET
or that User, as the case may be, deems appropriate.
DRC.5.4.2 NGET will advise a User in writing of any estimated data it intends to use pursuant to
DRC.5.4.1 relating directly to that User's Plant or Apparatus in the event of data not being
supplied.
DRC.5.4.3 A User will advise NGET in writing of any estimated data it intends to use pursuant to
DRC.5.4.1 in the event of data not being supplied.
DRC.5.5 Substituted Data
DRC.5.5.1 In the case of PC.A.4 only, if the data supplied by a User does not in NGET’s reasonable
opinion reflect the equivalent data recorded by NGET, NGET may estimate such data if and
when, in the view of NGET, it is necessary to do so. Such estimates will, in each case, be
based upon data supplied previously for the same Plant or Apparatus or upon
corresponding data for similar Plant or Apparatus or upon such other information as NGET
deems appropriate.
DRC.5.5.2 NGET will advise a User in writing of any estimated data it intends to use pursuant to
DRC.5.5.1 relating directly to that User's Plant or Apparatus where it does not in NGET’s
reasonable opinion reflect the equivalent data recorded by NGET. Such estimated data will
be used by NGET in place of the appropriate data submitted by the User pursuant to PC.A.4
and as such shall be deemed to accurately represent the User’s submission until such time
as the User provides data to NGET’s reasonable satisfaction.

NOTES:
(1) To allow for different groups of Gensets within a Power Station (eg. Gensets with the same
operator) each Genset may be allocated to one of up to four Synchronising Groups. Within
each such Synchronising Group the single synchronising interval will apply but between
Synchronising Groups a zero synchronising interval will be assumed.
(2) The run-up of a Genset from synchronising block load to Registered Capacity is represented as
a three stage characteristic in which the run-up rate changes at two intermediate loads, MWL1
and MWL2. The values MWL1 & MWL2 can be different for each Genset.

DATA TO BE SUPPLIED BY NGET TO USERS

PURSUANT TO THE TRANSMISSION LICENCE

1. The Transmission Licence requires NGET to publish annually the Seven Year Statement
which is designed to provide Users and potential Users with information to enable them to
identify opportunities for continued and further use of the National Electricity Transmission
System.

When a User is considering a development at a specific site, certain additional information may
be required in relation to that site which is of such a level of detail that it is inappropriate to
include it in the Seven Year Statement. In these circumstances the User may contact NGET
who will be pleased to arrange a discussion and the provision of such additional information
relevant to the site under consideration as the User may reasonably require.

2. The Transmission Licence also requires NGET to offer terms for an agreement for connection
to and use of the National Electricity Transmission System and further information will be
given by NGET to the potential User in the course of the discussions of the terms of such an
agreement.

NOTES:

1. '[Link].' means 'Financial Year'. [Link]. 1 refers to the current financial year.

2. All Demand data should be net of the output (as reasonably considered appropriate by the User) of all Embedded
Small Power Stations, Medium Power Stations and Customer Generating Plant. Generation and / or Auxiliary
demand of Embedded Large Power Stations should not be included in the demand data submitted by the User.
Users should refer to the PC for a full definition of the Demand to be included.

3. Peak Demand should relate to each Connection Point individually and should give the maximum demand that in the
User's opinion could reasonably be imposed on the National Electricity Transmission System. Users may submit
the Demand data at each node on the Single Line Diagram instead of at a Connection Point as long as the User
reasonably believes such data relates to the peak (or minimum) at the Connection Point.

In deriving Demand any deduction made by the User (as detailed in note 2 above) to allow for Embedded Small
Power Stations, Medium Power Stations and Customer Generating Plant is to be specifically stated as indicated
on the Schedule.

4. NGET may at its discretion require details of any Embedded Small Power Stations or Embedded Medium Power
Stations whose output can be expected to vary in a random manner (eg. wind power) or according to some other
pattern (eg. tidal power)

5. Where more than 95% of the total Demand at a Connection Point is taken by synchronous motors, values of the
Power Factor at maximum and minimum continuous excitation may be given instead. Power Factor data should allow
for series reactive losses on the User's System but exclude reactive compensation network susceptance specified
separately in Schedule 5.

6. Where a Reactive Despatch Network Restriction is in place which requires the generator to maintain a target voltage
set point this should be stated as an alternative to the size of the Reactive Despatch Network Restriction.

Fault infeeds via Station Transformers

A submission is required for each Station Transformer directly connected to the National Electricity
Transmission System. The submission should represent normal operating conditions when the maximum
number of Gensets are Synchronised to the System, and should include the fault current from all motors
normally connected to the Station Board, together with any Generation (eg Auxiliary Gas Turbines) which
would normally be connected to the Station Board. The fault infeed should be expressed as a fault current
at the hv terminals of the Station Transformer for a fault at that location.
If the submission for normal operating conditions does not represent the worst case, then a separate
submission representing the maximum fault infeed that could occur in practice should be made.
