Conclusion
Who is responsible for System Services - Grid Operator or Wind Farm Operator?

Conclusion
Examples for the application of the Grid Codes to Offshore Wind Farms connected via
VSC-HVDC
Undefined Grid Codes for Offshore Wind Farms connected via VSC-HVDC leads to open
question for manufactures, investors and grid operators about the need of abilities of the
Wind Energy Units and the handling with faults (Fault Reflection)
Special Grid Codes have to define the respective contribution to System Services by
Wind Farm Operators and Grid Operators (Active power reduction)
