India (CEA Connectivity Regs) — ride-through requirements

The LVRT, HVRT, FRT envelopes a grid-scale battery must meet under India (CEA Connectivity Regs) (India), digitized breakpoint by breakpoint and checked against the clause it came from.

Part of: the grid-code ride-through chart — compare this against 63 other standards in 42 countries.

What this is, and is not. A reading aid compiled from the clause cited below — not a compliance document. The primary text governs. Some values on this page are marked partial: the level is confirmed but at least one duration step could not be read directly from the source.

Breakpoints

Times are seconds from the start of the disturbance. Voltage is per-unit of nominal; frequency in hertz. An LVRT curve is a lower boundary (stay connected while voltage is on or above it), an HVRT curve an upper boundary, and FRT gives the band between its High and Low boundaries.

Event Duty Breakpoints Status
low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) ride-through 0.001s → 0.15 pu; 0.3s → 0.15 pu; 0.301s → 0.85 pu; 3s → 0.85 pu; 3.001s → 0.9 pu partial
high-voltage ride-through (HVRT) ride-through 0.001s → 1.3 pu; 0.2s → 1.3 pu; 0.201s → 1.2 pu; 2s → 1.2 pu; 2.001s → 1.1 pu verified
frequency ride-through (FRT) ride-through High: 0.1s → 52 Hz | Low: 0.1s → 47.5 Hz partial

Where these values come from

  • LVRT CEA Connectivity Regs 2007 (am. 2019) clause B2(3) — profile is embedded as an image in the gazette PDF; the 0.15 pu / 300 ms corner matches how it is universally cited but the recovery ramp could not be read directly.
  • HVRT CEA Regulations Compendium, August 2024, Part II clause B2(7) over-voltage table, footnote 20 'Substituted vide Second amendment, 2019 w.e.f. 06.02.2019' — . Identical text in the 2019 gazette notification:.
  • FRT CEA Regulations Compendium, August 2024, Part II clause B2(2) (footnote: substituted vide Second amendment, 2019 w.e.f. 06.02.2019): 'capable of operating in the frequency range 47.5 to 52 Hz and be able to deliver rated output in the frequency range of 49.5 Hz to 50.5 Hz' — .
