Standard Tests and Requirements for Rate-of- Change of Frequency (ROCOF) Measurements in Smart Grids
Annotation in Czech
A “use case” is defined as a particular situation in the grid where a utility would like to perform a ROCOF measurement. This maybe under normal operating conditions or during an exceptional event such as the sudden disconnection of a large load or generator. The “wish list” will define the desired specification of accuracy the measurement latency (or measurement update rate) and cost-effectiveness from an end-user point of view for the given use cases. In order to develop a ROCOF standard, this re-normative project will address the following scientific and technical objectives: 1. To evaluate the problem of ROCOF measurement in the context of actual use cases and the “wish list” from an end-user point of view. To develop a library of standard-test-waveforms representative of typical PQ events on electricity networks, including extreme events, in order to adequately test ROCOF algorithms and instrumentation containing these algorithms. 2. To review, develop and optimise algorithms to reliably and accurately measure ROCOF over the full range of network conditions, specifying any use cases where this is not achievable 3. To implement and test selected ROCOF algorithms utilising the standard waveform library via computer simulations as well as in instrument hardware that will be tested using precisely generated electrical waveforms in the laboratory. This will lead to compliance verification protocols for ROCOF instruments suitable for inclusion in a ROCOF standard (new or pre-existing).

Project results evaluation
Following the condition that the candidate of financial contribution was evaluated and afterwards selected by international provider in accordance with the rules of the program the Ministry of Education, Youth ans Sports does not realize the evaluation of project results. The project is evaluated only after its approval by an international provider.
