Grid protection relay

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 a grid protection relay?

Handover point between the CHP unit and the public grid.

What the AI reads from these values

What the AI reads
  • Monitoring of overvoltage protection limits to prevent failure of power electronics
  • Detection of frequency deviations to ensure the grid stability of the CHP unit
  • Monitoring of short-circuit currents to identify insulation faults
  • Determination of active power (P) compared to the setpoint (e.g., 901kW) for efficiency testing
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

Preventive detection of grid instabilities prevents unpredictable downtime and costly damage to the CHP unit components. Continuous monitoring of the relay parameters enables proactive maintenance of the handover station. This minimises downtime and ensures the planned feed-in of active power into the public grid.
