8.13  Power versus frequency

Overview

Values have been set based upon country standards. If you modify these values, you will lose certi-

fi cation. Therefore you should set this function only when requested by country regulations, authori-

ties or your grid operator.

With this function you can control the active power as a function of the grid frequency.
