Rate of Frequency Change Protection
Overview of Functions
7.21.1
The function Rate of frequency change protection is used to:
•
Detect a frequency change quickly
•
Prevent the system from not secure states caused by unbalance between the generated and consumed
active power
•
Network decoupling
•
Load shedding
7.21.2
Structure of the Function
The function Rate of frequency change protection can be used in protection function groups containing a
3‑phase voltage measurement.
2 function block types are available:
•
df/dt rising
•
df/dt falling
The function Rate of frequency change protection is preconfigured by the manufacturer with 1 df/dt rising
stage and 1 df/dt falling stage. A maximum of 5 df/dt rising stages and 5 df/dt falling stages can operate simul-
taneously within the function. Both of the function block types are similar in structure.
Undervoltage check and df/dt calculation are general functionalities and take place on the function level. All
stages use these general functionalities.
