What is What is islanding in the CHP unit??

Islanding occurs when the CHP unit continues to feed into the isolated grid after a grid failure; the grid protection must detect islanding within 200 ms and disconnect the plant — otherwise, continued operation endangers grid technicians.

What the AI reads from these values

What the AI reads
  • Detection of grid voltage (U) to identify a failure
  • Monitoring of frequency (f) as an indicator for an unstable island
  • Measurement of feed-in power (P) to detect impermissible energy delivery
  • Verification of the grid protection status to ensure compliance with the 200ms limit
Scenario

Monitored: continuous

The scenario: A drifting excitation shifts the cos φ without triggering a limit value, reactive power costs, or grid issues. The AI: detects the shift early in proportion and reports it before the protection reacts. It identifies the trend before the limit value is reached.

Why this matters

Precise detection of islanding prevents life-threatening situations for grid technicians and avoids fines due to violations of grid operation rules. Reliable protection ensures compliance with technical safety standards. This guarantees the safe operation of the CHP unit and protects the infrastructure from uncontrolled voltage spikes.
