Fundamentals
It is desired that the operating frequency is
maintained in Grid at 50Hz.
From Grid point of view
If frequency is less than 50 Hz
Droop Calculation
5% Droop means, 5% of rated frequency
corresponds to full load of the machine.
For 250 MW unit
5% of 50 Hz = 2.5 Hz.
2.5 Hz ~ 250 MW.
Thus a machine of 250 MW size will drop
load of 250 MW if frequency is 52.5 Hz

FGMO
Reference Center Frequency is floating in
49.0 to 50.5 Hz band, depending upon
previous stable frequency.
The load correction are based on this
frequency set point, hence it is possible to
have load drop even at 49.5 Hz if there is
sudden frequency increase.

Try to maintain Grid frequency at 50 Hz in power deficit
environment, all Generating stations should have load
correction based on frequency as follows: If frequency is less than 50 Hz
no correction to be applied.
If frequency is greater than 50 Hz
