Stand-alone Operation
Reference Bus, Swing Bus)
power management system could keep more / less fuel will raise / lower the
bus frequency and voltage constant if droop generator active power (MW)
control modes are active (else not
necessary) more / less excitation current will raise /
lower the generator reactive power (MVAr)
the utility determines the frequency more / less fuel will raise /
(Hz), speed (rpm) and voltage (kV) lower generator active power and the bus
frequency (MW, Hz)
the difference between the total plant
load and the generator output power will more / less excitation current will raise /
be imported or exported (MW, MVAr) lower the generator reactive power and the
bus voltage (MVAr, kV)
engine fuel control options: droop
speed control, base load (MW) control the total plant load determines the sum
of the power of all generators (MW, MVAr)
excitation current control options:
droop voltage control, VAR control, PF engine fuel control options: droop
control speed control
In the droop speed control mode the speed will decrease by a fixed percentage when the generator is
loaded from no-load to full load. This provides a stable working point for each load in case of parallel
operation.
Isochronous Speed Control speed and frequency Droop Speed Control speed and frequency will decrease
return to speed setpoint after a load change. when the load increases.
The droop slope is a fixed setting mostly between 3 and 5%. But the operator or power management
system can adjust the speed setpoint in order to:
Constant Voltage Control voltage returns to the Droop Voltage Control voltage will decrease if the
voltage setpoint if reactive load changes. reactive load increases.
The droop slope is a fixed setting mostly between 2 and 4%. But the operator or power management
system could adjust the voltage setpoint in order to:
