Why hasn't UFLS been adopted as Ancillary Service by power grid TSO. I investigated using PLC to load shed based on grid frequency (as suggested by dynamic demand UK)it looks like a win for everyone (especially environment). Unless I am missing something fundimental it looks relatively easy enough. I am considering building one from scratch using ABB 500 eCo that could be used in small data center with battery backup. Has this been done before? My background is more in area that would facilitate validation towards power grid.
