Elektrik Dağıtım Sistemi Yönetmeliği (Electricity Distribution System Regulation)

Overview

The regulation sets out procedures for the operation, monitoring, control, maintenance and emergency handling of the distribution system. It was published in Resmî Gazete No. 31810 dated 15.04.2022. Under Article 14 it repeals the Elektrik Piyasası Dağıtım Yönetmeliği of 2 January 2014, and references to that regulation are deemed to refer to this one.

On maintenance planning, the distribution company must prepare an annual maintenance plan and submit the next year's plan to EPDK by 31 December (Article 4). On monitoring, new distribution centres with at least three outgoing feeders or at least 5 000 kVA of installed capacity must have real-time monitoring of current, voltage and power on MV feeders (Article 5).

Generation-licence holders and storage owners must install systems and links to transfer data to the distribution company's SCADA (Article 6(2)). For emergencies, distribution companies prepare emergency management plans covering staged re-energization after partial or total outages and keep mobile generators, at least one with MV output (Article 8 and Article 9(1)-(2)).

The regulation does not govern data centers directly, but it shapes grid-side behaviour. For a data center, the distribution company's maintenance and outage practice is an input to utility-reliability assumptions. The record's related sources are the Elektrik Piyasası Bağlantı ve Sistem Kullanım Yönetmeliği and the Elektrik Piyasasında Depolama Faaliyetleri Yönetmeliği.

Key points

1. The distribution company prepares an annual maintenance plan and submits next year's plan to EPDK by 31 December (Article 4).
2. New distribution centres with at least three outgoing feeders or at least 5 000 kVA installed capacity need real-time monitoring of MV feeder current, voltage and power (Article 5).
3. Generation-licence holders and storage owners must install systems and links to the DSO SCADA (Article 6).
4. DSOs prepare emergency management plans for staged re-energization after partial or total outages (Article 8).
5. At least one mobile generator with MV output is kept (Article 9).
6. The Elektrik Piyasası Dağıtım Yönetmeliği of 2 January 2014 is repealed (Article 14).
7. Resmî Gazete 31810, 15.04.2022.

Using it in design

• If the site has on-site BESS or generation exporting to the grid, add a DSO SCADA interface item to the electrical scope.
• Use DSO maintenance and outage behaviour as an input to utility-reliability assumptions in the availability model.
• In site energisation planning, account for the load-pickup order of staged re-energization after an outage.
• Assess together with the related connection and storage regulations.

Who should read it

Electrical engineers planning grid connection and energisation, site owners, and project teams coordinating with distribution companies.
