The Malaysian Grid Code Preface

Buyer for all generation outputs supplied to the Grid System by the Power
Stations and other externally interconnected parties.

P1.3.3 The GSO has a responsibility for operational planning, real-time re-
scheduling, dispatch and control of the Grid System in compliance with
the provisions of the Grid Code.

P1.4 Coordination of the Grid Operation and the Rules

P1.4.1 For reliable operation of the Grid System, the coordination of all
connected parties is required encompassing all the activities from planning
the development to ensure adequate generation and transmission capacity,
to operational planning to ensure secure operation of the system taking
into account maintenance and forced outages as well as in real time
operation dealing with forced outages, essential system operational
switching and other system events that can occur.

P1.4.2 The central coordination is also necessary in ensuring harmonious

operation of all system components in matching generation and demand, in
delivering the appropriate response to system events as well as not to
disconnect these components from the system in an inadvertent manner.

P1.4.3 Therefore whilst most but not all of the electricity will be transmitted
across the Grid System, the interconnected System as a whole must
continue to be centrally coordinated and this will continue to be
accomplished by the GSO.

P1.4.4 In order to achieve the required level of central coordination the Grid
Owner and GSO rely on the following sets of technical rules and
commercial agreements enabling secure and economic operation of the
system:
(1) The Transmission System Reliability Standards and Transmission
System Power Quality Standards defining the technical standards to be
used in designing, planning and operating the system as well as the
quality of the power delivered by the Grid System to Users;
(2) The Grid Code defining a set of day to day planning, design and
operational principles and procedures governing the relationship of the
Grid Owner and GSO with all the Users. It also defines the
responsibilities of all parties towards maintaining harmonious
operation of the system under both normal and exceptional
circumstances involving disturbances spanning from those initiated by
climatic conditions to equipment failures and mal-operations;
