Ride-through
Ride-through is the ability of electrical equipment, or an entire facility, to stay connected and operating during brief voltage or frequency disturbances on the grid instead of disconnecting. When many data center loads trip off at once, the sudden loss of demand can stress the grid. Utilities and grid operators may set ride-through requirements for large loads as a condition of service.
