G59 Engineering recommendations/regulations/ Standards?

[hawkal]

Does anyone know where I could find G59 Engineering recommendations/standards/regulations? I found some for G83/1 under BS EN 40538:2007 but I can't find any for G59.

You'll not find it online, you have to buy it £90!

Hi Mark thank you for your reply.

Where can it be bought from?

 

[Markc]

I downloaded mine but I be blown if I can remember where. Try searching via a DNO's web site.

 

[hawkal]

Mark would you mind just uploading yours online and posting a link here?

I;m sure i got G59 from ENA website as a free download

I think that's just the guide to G59 not G59 document itself. I might be wrong here but I can't think of anything else I'd pay £90 for.

 

[edexlab]

you might be right but this is a 123 page doc

Engineering RecommendationG59 issue 2 2010

Recommendations for the connection of generating plant
to the distribution systems of licensed distribution network operators

to give its full title .

if this is just a guide then the doc itself must be like war and peace
has scope of G59, connection of various plant diagrams, legal aspects etc

I've been looking all over for it. If anyone can help I would be very grateful.

This here is the free download I found off the ENA website.

The G59/2 Document is now £185.

 

[hawkal]

Thank you very much.

Is anyone else getting stressed with all this G59 garb and the fact that DNO's don't have much helpful knowledge on G59 and also G83.
We are the ones doing all the hard work trying to work it all out for them.
Like it has been mentioned before you could write a shopping list on a DNO application and they still wouldn't be any the wiser.

There are straightforward guides to G83/1 and G59/2 available from here:

http://2010.energynetworks.org/storage/DGCG G83 S2 Nov 2010.pdf

Note - these are not the full regulation documents - just simplified guides.
