Colombia (CREG 060/2019) ride-through requirements
Low-voltage ride-through, High-voltage ride-through for Colombia. Every breakpoint below is read from the code itself, and where a point was taken off a published figure rather than stated in the clause, the section under that chart says so — an envelope that stops where its published chart stops.
What is the low-voltage ride-through envelope for Colombia (CREG 060/2019)?
The plant must ride through for any voltage that stays on or above this envelope. The envelope holds 0 pu from t = 0 to 150 ms; then ramps linearly from 0 pu at 150 ms to 0.1 pu at 500 ms; then ramps linearly from 0.1 pu at 500 ms to 0.85 pu at 1.5 s; then 0.85 pu from 1.5 s to 20 s; then 0.9 pu from 20 s, plotted to 21 s.
The clause states this boundary as a line; intermediate points are interpolated between its stated vertices. The envelope stops where the published chart stops; the code states no end time.
Applies to Wind + PV plants on the STN/STR, 500 kV excluded
| From | To | Voltage | Between the points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 150 ms | 0 pu | Held flat |
| 150 ms | 500 ms | 0 → 0.1 pu | Ramps linearly |
| 500 ms | 1.5 s | 0.1 → 0.85 pu | Ramps linearly |
| 1.5 s | 20 s | 0.85 pu | Held flat |
| 20 s | plotted to 21 s | 0.9 pu | Held flat |
The clause this came from
Resolución CREG 060 de 2019, Artículo 14 (modifica numeral 5.7 lit. c) del Código de Operación), figura 'Característica de LVRT y HVRT para plantas eólicas y solares fotovoltaicas con conexión a STN y STR (no incluye 500 kV)' — verified from the official embedded graphic resolucion_creg_0060_2019_obj_2.gif. The code defines a linear recovery ramp; the vertices are read from the clause and the chart draws the segment between them.
What is the high-voltage ride-through envelope for Colombia (CREG 060/2019)?
The plant must ride through for any voltage that stays on or below this envelope. The envelope holds 1.2 pu from t = 0 to 2 s; then 1.1 pu from 2 s onward — the last band the envelope defines, with no stated end time.
Every breakpoint is stated in the clause cited below.
Applies to Wind + PV plants on the STN/STR, 500 kV excluded
| From | To | Voltage | Between the points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 2 s | 1.2 pu | Held flat |
| 2 s | no stated end | 1.1 pu | Held flat |

Who does Colombia (CREG 060/2019) bind, and since when?
Wind + PV plants on the STN/STR, 500 kV excluded. No date of effect is published here — grid codes are reissued, so check the current issue before relying on it.
These figures are a reading aid, not legal advice. Grid codes are reissued: verify against the current edition before you design to them.
Digitised operating parameters beyond ride-through — droop, reactive capability, operating ranges — are published for 36 of the 66 codes in this atlas, not yet for Colombia (CREG 060/2019). That is a gap on this site, not a statement that Colombia (CREG 060/2019) sets none — the atlas hub marks the codes that carry them.
Curve data last checked against the code on — 66 standards, 130 envelopes, published by bess.engineer under CC BY 4.0.
Questions this page answers about Colombia (CREG 060/2019)
- Does Colombia (CREG 060/2019) require ride-through, or only that the plant does not trip?
- Ride-through. Every envelope on this page is a performance duty the plant must meet, not a protection-setting no-trip boundary — they are different obligations. That is what these curves are; they are not everything Colombia (CREG 060/2019) contains. The requirement sentence under each chart says which side of the curve is the compliant one.
- Are the numbers on this page taken from Colombia (CREG 060/2019) itself?
- Every breakpoint is read from the code, and where a point was taken off a published figure rather than stated in the clause, the section under that chart says so — on this page that includes an envelope that stops where its published chart stops. The clause each curve came from is quoted under it.
- Which events are charted for Colombia (CREG 060/2019)?
- Colombia (CREG 060/2019) is charted here with 2 envelopes — low-voltage ride-through, high-voltage ride-through (LVRT, HVRT). No frequency envelope is charted here — check Colombia (CREG 060/2019) itself before concluding it sets none.
Ride-through, in context.
An envelope is a compliance boundary; understanding why it exists is a different question. The ride-through and grid-forming entries cover the engineering, and the Engineering Foundations course builds it from the physics up.
