2.3.5.3 In connecting a Fluctuating Load at a particular point or Point of Common Coupling it is necessary to assess the<br />
total Flicker due to the Fluctuating Load itself and the background Flicker measured at that point. In assessing<br />
the total Flicker TNB shall use the so called “RSS Rule”. This assessment is carried out by the RSS Rule by<br />
obtaining the sum of the squares of the Flicker from the Fluctuating Load and the background Flicker, with the<br />
square root of this sum yielding the total assessed Flicker at that Point of Common Coupling due to the specific<br />
Fluctuating Load and the background Flicker at that point.<br />
2.3.5.4 Connection of more than one Fluctuating Load at the same Point of Common Coupling or addition of further<br />
Fluctuating Load at the same location is carried out on a “first come first served” basis on the distribution system.<br />
This means that whilst the first Fluctuating Load may be within the allowable Flicker limits and not require<br />
any Flicker mitigation or compensation equipment, the second Fluctuating Load which may cause violation<br />
of Flicker limits will be obliged to invest in appropriate Flicker mitigation or compensation equipment. At<br />
the planning stage, in carrying out the assessment of the total Flicker due to more than one Fluctuating Load<br />
connecting at a particular Points of Common Coupling, TNB shall use the methodology described in P28.<br />
2.3.5.5 In assessing the level of Flicker due to a Fluctuating Load at the planning stage the assessment will be carried<br />
out at a realistic System operating condition giving the minimum number of connections with which that point<br />
on the System can be operated within normal voltage limits and following Secured Contingency Events. This<br />
condition shall be considered as representative of the type of System conditions under which the Flicker due to<br />
a Fluctuating Load will be at its highest value as the voltage fluctuations due to the Fluctuating Load will be at<br />
their highest level under such conditions.<br />
