English term (edited): under-frequency load-shedding policy
Selected

politique de délestage sur sous-fréquence

or 'en cas de'

Need to read under frequency as under-frequency (= the frequency is too low) — some sources even make it one word.

So this is the policy to decide on how and when load-shedding should be performed in the event of the power line frequency's being too low.

A classic problem with conventional generators, but does not arise with renewables like PV or wind power, hence the issue with mixed power sources — as more and more loads occurs, the conventional generators tend to slow down, and in order to maintain synchronism, the renewables are forced to follow.

Thanks, B! :-)
agree FX Fraipont (X) : "en cas de" sounds better to me

Merci, F-X ! Me too, though in some other instances I have seen 'sur', but it sounds weird followed immediately by 'sous-...'!
Something went wrong...
