FREQUENCY-SUPERVISED R.O.C.O.F EXAMPLE

In the load shedding scheme below, we assume that for falling frequency conditions, the system can be stabilised
at frequency f2 by shedding a stage of load. For slow rates of decay, this can be achieved using the
underfrequency protection element set at frequency f1 with a suitable time delay. However, if the generation
deficit is substantial, the frequency will rapidly decrease and it is possible that the time delay imposed by the
underfrequency protection will not allow for frequency stabilisation. In this case, the chance of system recovery
will be enhanced by disconnecting the load stage based on a measurement of rate of change of frequency and
bypassing the time delay.
