Coverage note. A highlighted country has at least one code on this map. It does not mean that code applies nationwide. Grid codes are reissued; verify the current edition and connection-specific requirements before design.

What these are

What is the difference between LVRT, HVRT and FRT?

LVRT is what the plant must ride through when a fault drags voltage down. HVRT is the same on the way up. FRT is the frequency band it must stay inside. They are separate requirements with separate clauses, and a code that defines one does not necessarily define the others — 20 of these 44 countries have no HVRT envelope here.

Beyond the envelopes

Digitised parameter tables

Digitised parameters are published for 36 of the 66 codes. A code with no table here has not been read into that form yet — that is a gap on this site, not a statement that the code sets no parameters.

3 of those tables set a requirement that turns on how the converter is controlled rather than on the event — grid-forming and grid-following plant owe different things at the same fault. Grid-forming vs grid-following collects those clauses and explains what the two modes actually do.

Where this comes from

Digitised from the codes, clause by clause.

The curves are maintained on bess.engineer and published under CC BY 4.0. Each one says where its numbers came from — the clause text, a published figure, or a reprint of the code — because a number traced off a chart is not the same evidence as one stated in a table, and pretending otherwise is how wrong numbers travel.
