Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / Electric grid connectivity
Swedish term or phrase: önätsdrift
From a specification for connecting wind turbines to the national grid:

Vindkraftsaggregat ska för skydd mot önätsdrift ha övervakning av överfrekvensskyd, underfrekensskyd ….

It looks like some kind of disturbance to the grid current, like the voltage, frequency etc drifting away from the required standards
