English term

demand disconnection

English to French Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation interconnected power system
5.3 Methods of demand control

The type of demand control used by the transmission system operator (TSO) in any particular circumstances will depend upon the amount of time between the TSO becoming aware of the need for implementing demand control and the time at which it needs to be implemented. In the event of a sudden and unexpected loss of generation on the Interconnected Transmission System, the requisite demand control will normally be achieved by means of Automatic Load Shedding but, occasionally, emergency manual disconnection may additionally be required. In all cases when demand control is necessary, the TSO shall use **demand disconnection as the last option.

Johannes Gleim Apr 29, 2013:
« Coupure d'électricité » est trop général. Ce terme comprend le délestage automatique et manuel (load shedding) aussi que l’indisponibilité fortuite (power outage). Il doit être supplémenté par un adjective ou mention accentuant l’intention de rétablir les conditions du réseau sain (tension, fréquence). Le CEI a déjà consacré « délestage » à cette fin. Le délestage (déconnexion de la charge) et l’îlotage (islanding) sont des mesures pour conduire le réseau, entre autres.

@ Asker Exactly! That's what I said in my answer: a deliberate power cut (as distinct from an accidental one) is technically called 'load-shedding' in EN, specifically to differentiate it from an accidental power cut (AE: power outage)
Stephanie Sullivan (asker) Apr 29, 2013:
Merci à tous pour votre aide. La réponse, selon mon client, était tout simplement "la coupure d'électricité"

Broken links For some reason, Johannes, I can't access those links you just posted, I get a page load error — although the links themselves don't actually seem to be corrupted :-(
Johannes Gleim Apr 3, 2013:
Yes and No Demand control comprises all measures, mainly Automatic Load Shedding, but also Manual disconnection. Demand disconnection is not Automatic Load Shedding, but Manual disconnection.
Cf. IEC-definition of Demand control and Load shedding

@ Johannes It is clear from the contxt given:

"the requisite demand control will normally be achieved by means of Automatic Load Shedding but, occasionally, emergency manual disconnection may additionally be required. In all cases when demand control is necessary, the TSO shall use demand disconnection as the last option."

It seems abundantly clear to me that the text is not saying that demand control = demand disconnection, but rather, that demand disconnection is one possible means used to achieve demand control.

In addition, it is clear that the intended meaning of the source text is that demand disconnection = Automatic Load Shedding + manual disconnection.

Hence we have délestage, which can be either automatic or manual.
Johannes Gleim Apr 2, 2013:
@ Tony I corrected the mismatched terms. But this changes nothing.

Demand control consist of 1. Automatic load shedding, 2. demand disconnection. The 1st term is translated by "délestage". The 2nd term has no official translation in French. You cannot use "délestage" for both.
Tony M Apr 2, 2013:
@ Johannes 'demand disconnection' is in no way a synonym for 'demand control'. Even the extract of context given here makes that abundantly clear; 'demand disconnection' is only one technique used in 'demand control', and as the context here explains, is only to be used as a last resort. In this sense, and to all material intents and purposes for this particular document, it is indeed synonymous with 'load shedding', and can effectively be translated as such.
Johannes Gleim Apr 2, 2013:
Correction: We are talking about "demand disconnection" used here as synonym for emergency manual disconnection. Demand control is the last resort, if automatic load shedding is insufficient, as proved by the Wikipedia links, cited in the reference comment section. Unfortunately, this term has not yet been standardized by IEC, other than the term load shedding (délestage), see http://www.electropedia.org/iev/iev.nsf/display?openform&iev... We have therefore look for a more generic term.

However both demand management and generation capacity require investment and any business or household making such investments need to know that a stable regulatory framework exists as to how electricity prices will be determined.
:
Tant la gestion de la demande que la capacité de production exigent toutefois des investissements et les entreprises ou les ménages qui réalisent ces investissements doivent pouvoir compter sur un cadre réglementaire stable pour la fixation du prix de l'électricité.

(Note : the Term Demand control is cited in the document, but not translated. Anyway, demand management is similar to demand control or demand disconnection in terms of operations.)

3.3.
Configuration of 70% Rule
The EEG2012 states that the power at the point of common coupling (PCC) must be limited to transfer of max. 70% of installed nominal PV module power [kWp]. This limit is referred to as “70% of installed PV power”.

Note:
When an incorrect value of “70% of installed PV power” is entered, serious consequences can result. In the event that the 70% limit is exceeded, the DNO can demand disconnection of the installation from grid.

deléstage

Dans un réseau électrique, le délestage consiste à arrêter volontairement l'approvisionnement d'un ou de plusieurs consommateurs pour rétablir rapidement l'équilibre entre la production et la consommation du réseau. Il s'agit d'une mesure de sauvegarde destinée à éviter les risques d'effondrement en tension ou en fréquence qui pourraient entraîner la coupure de la totalité d'un sous-réseau.

Il existe quatre types de délestage :

sur ordre, en fonction des heures de pointe de consommation;
sur comptage de l'énergie, en mesurant la moyenne de la puissance consommée en 10 secondes comparée à la puissance souscrite (tarif vert);
sur seuil de puissance et / ou de courant: dès qu'un seuil est dépassé, un relais de délestage coupe les départs non prioritaires;
sur seuil de fréquence.
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Délestage_électrique

directly linked to:

A rolling blackout, also referred to as load shedding, is an intentionally engineered electrical power shutdown where electricity delivery is stopped for non-overlapping periods of time over different parts of the distribution region. Rolling blackouts are a last-resort measure used by an electric utility company to avoid a total blackout of the power system. They are a type of demand response for a situation where the demand for electricity exceeds the power supply capability of the network.

Dynamic Demand is a similar concept:

Dynamic Demand is the name of a semi-passive technology for adjusting load demands on an electrical power grid. (It is also the name of an independent not-for-profit organization in the UK supported by a charitable grant from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation dedicated to promoting this technology.) The concept is that by monitoring the frequency of the power grid, as well as their own control parameters, individual, intermittent loads would switch on or off at optimal moments to balance the overall system load with generation, reducing critical power mismatches. As this switching would only advance or delay the appliance operating cycle by a few seconds, it would be unnoticeable to the end user.
