Grid operators demand reliable, verifiable data to validate frequency response. CerTa Veritas provides independent frequency response testing for balancing service providers, including power plants, wind farms, and battery storage facilities, helping asset owners achieve full grid code compliance and gain access to Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) markets. With proven test methods and high-speed measurement tools, we deliver precise, certified results you can trust.
Why frequency response testing matters
A correct droop response is critical for maintaining a stable grid frequency. Failure to deliver the right response can lead to compliance issues and financial penalties. Our testing services help identify mismatches early and support corrective actions.
How we measure frequency response
When a controlled frequency disturbance is introduced, the power response is recorded in real time with CerTa Veritas’ high-resolution data acquisition system. Our in-house software application then enables precise assessment of droop, response time, and reserve deployment.
