This block is used to detect abnormal conditions in the grid’s voltage. For this purpose, a set of regions can be specified by the user as specified in [1]. A maximum of 8 different regions can be specified for over and under voltage events, respectively. Also, this block can identify the power injection mode in each of the regions (mandatory operation, momentary cessation, or cease to energize). This power injection mode is defined in the Voltage Ride-Through (VRT) Mode output.
