Background
ROCOF is not currently defined in the Irish Grid
Code and is not mentioned in NI Grid Code
Need to specify how ROCOF is calculated
Definition will affect ultimate ROCOF capability sought
from generators
Example 2
Proposal 1
Rate of Change of Frequency (ROCOF):
The rate of increase or decrease of Frequency as measured at the Users Connection Point averaged
over the time period as set out in CC.7.3.1.1(d).
PROPOSED CHANGE TO CC7.3.1.1(d)
CC.7.3.1.1 Each Generation Unit, shall, as a minimum, have the following capabilities:
remain synchronised to the Transmission System during rate of change of Transmission System
Frequency of values up to and including 0.5 Hz per second for a Rate of Change of Frequency of up to
X Hz per second averaged over Y milliseconds. Voltage dips may cause localised ROCOF values in
excess of X Hz per second for short periods, and in these cases, the Fault-Ride Through clause
CC.7.3.1.1(h) supercedes this clause;
NOTE:
X in the range 1-2Hz/sec
Y in the range 150-500ms
Proposal 2
Rate of Change of Frequency (ROCOF):
The rate of increase or decrease of Frequency as measured at the Users Connection Point over a
time period greater than the time for the synchronous Generators on the system to reach Coherency
but no greater than 500ms in any case.
Coherency:
A group of synchronous Generators are defined as coherent after an Event if the relative
displacement between their power angles is constant.
PROPOSED CHANGE TO CC.7.3.1.1(d)
CC.7.3.1.1
remain synchronised to the Transmission System during rate of change of Transmission System
Frequency of values up to and including 0.5 Hz per second remain synchronised to the
Transmission System for a Rate of Change of Frequency of up to X Hz per second. Voltage dips
resulting in loss of coherency may cause localised ROCOFs in excess of this value for short periods,
and in these cases, the Fault-Ride Through clause CC.7.3.1.1(h) supercedes this clause;
NOTE:
X in the range 1-2Hz/sec
Y in the range 150-500ms
