Description

Overview of Low-Frequency Low-Voltage Load Shedding Device

  • ATN-8694 Microprocessor-based Low-Frequency Low-Voltage Load Shedding Device stabilizes power systems against frequency and voltage drops from power shortage. It performs staged automatic load shedding to restore supply-demand balance.
  • This Power System Emergency Load Shedding Device measures dual-section busbar voltage, equipped with 5 standard and 3 special shedding cycles for underfrequency and undervoltage conditions. Flexible configurable output supports shedding up to 60 load branches, stabilizing grid frequency & voltage and securing reliable power supply.

Technical Features

  • Underfrequency load shedding: When active power shortage causes system frequency drop, the device automatically sheds partial loads based on frequency deviation to restore power balance. Equipped with 5 basic stages and 3 special stages.
  • Undervoltage load shedding: When reactive power shortage triggers voltage drop, partial loads will be cut off automatically to rebalance power supply and load, with 5 basic and 3 special stages available.
  • df/dt and du/dt blocking functions prevent mal-operation induced by short circuit, load rebound and abnormal frequency & voltage fluctuation.
  • Busbar split running switch enables setting of split or parallel operation mode for double busbars.
  • Modular program design ensures flexible configuration and easy function modification.
  • Reliable PT broken line detection avoids false operation of undervoltage protection.
  • Max. 21 user-definable binary input channels.
  • Programmable output: Trip matrix setting allows flexible relay output selection. Contacts support auto-reset trip type and manual-reset signal type.
  • Supports network timing and IRIG-B timing via RS485 port.
  • Dual 100M Ethernet ports and one RS485 port, compatible with IEC60870-5-103, 104 and Modbus protocols.
  • Stores 16 fault records, sampling up to 13 analog channels at 1ms interval in standard Comtrade format.
  • Advanced color touch LCD panel features prolonged service life.

Basic Feature Configuration of Frequency Voltage Emergency Control Relay

  • Underfrequency load shedding: Cuts partial loads against frequency drop caused by active power shortage to restore power balance. Configured with 5 basic stages, 3 special stages, 2 accelerated shedding stages and 2&3 combined accelerated shedding stages.
  • Accelerated underfrequency shedding: Sheds loads rapidly based on df/dt value when frequency declines sharply. Accelerates stage 2 or stage 2&3 shedding along with stage 1 action to halt frequency collapse.
  • Undervoltage load shedding: Removes partial loads to recover normal voltage level under reactive power deficit. Equipped with 5 basic stages, 3 special stages and corresponding accelerated shedding functions.
  • Accelerated undervoltage shedding: Fast load shedding by dU/dt criterion curbs rapid voltage drop, prevents voltage collapse and restores voltage within permissible range.
  • df/dt and du/dt slip blocking function
  • PT broken line blocking and alarm function
  • Undervoltage blocking function
  • Busbar split operation switch supports split or parallel operation mode
  • IRIG-B and SNTP time synchronization

FAQ

Q:In which projects are UFLS and UVLS relays applied?

A:

Isolated grid systems: including captive power plants, microgrids and island power grids. It rapidly balances local power after disconnection from main grid to prevent blackout.

Weak tie-line systems: remote rural, forest power networks and grid terminals with dense industrial loads, featuring low tie-line capacity and vulnerability to instability.

Critical power supply projects: metallurgy, chemical and other continuous production industries. Load shedding retains core facilities to avoid equipment damage and economic losses.

New energy grid-connected projects: regional grids with high wind and solar penetration, mitigating power imbalance caused by renewable energy output fluctuation.
