The Grid Code shall define the rights, responsibilities and conduct of various parties having access to the power system. It shall establish standard procedures and technical specifications for interconnection, planning, scheduling, dispatch of generating units and a set of technical regulations and performance specifications governing the development, operation, security and reliability of the power system to be complied with by all users (including existing and future distributed generation sources) for the ultimate benefit of all electricity customers. The Grid Code shall also specify the connection conditions namely, the technical power quality (viz flicker, harmonics, voltage regulation, ...), protection, metering, procedural, and safety standards for integrating the diverse distributed renewable generation technologies involved by a changing generation mix (diesel, coal-bagasse, hydro, proposed coal, wind, and other renewable sources) on the power system.
The above is from the terms of reference for the appointment of a consultant for the development of the "Grid Code" dated August 2008. The "Grid Code" exists in other countries (like Germany, France, Spain, US etc . . .) under different names.
