This document sets out the approach used by EirGrid and SONI to determine technology eligibility for the provision of System Services in Ireland and/or System Support Services in Northern Ireland. It explains the role of the Qualification Trial Process (QTP) in assessing new and emerging technologies, describes the purpose and use of the Proven Technology List, and outlines how technologies may be classified as proven. The document is intended to provide clarity to technology providers, developers, and system participants on the evidence‑based processes used to support System Services / System Support Services delivery while maintaining the safe, secure, and efficient operation of the power system.
This document is descriptive in nature and does not alter existing regulatory, contractual, or Grid Code requirements. Classification as a proven technology does not confer any right to connect to the system, nor does it guarantee qualification or procurement under any System Services / System Support Services.
