Grid frequency

Ventilation/dehumidification — the silent 24/7 load, with heat recovery. Part of the glass family — like our glass BESS, biogas plant and CHP.

What is grid frequency?

Grid frequency must remain in the range of 49.8–50.2 Hz; above 50.2 Hz or below 49.8 Hz, the grid protection disconnects the CHP unit from the grid — preventing islanding and grid damage.

What the AI reads from these values

What the AI reads
  • Synchronization check to avoid phase shifts
  • Monitoring of frequency tolerance (49.8–50.2 Hz) as a safety barrier
  • Detection of grid instabilities leading to an automatic emergency shutdown
  • Validation of the operating state to avoid dangerous island operation scenarios
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 in proportion early and reports it before the protection reacts. It identifies the trend before the limit value is reached.

Why this matters

Stable frequency monitoring prevents uncontrolled shutdowns and protects the generator windings from thermal overload. Compliance with the limit values guarantees continuous grid connection and meets regulatory requirements for feed-in. A stable value of 50.0 Hz signals an optimal load flow in the CHP unit system.
