Let me explain how the machine responds to grid fluctuations with calculation part.

FSRN=(TNRL-TNH)*FSKNG+FSRN(existing FSNL FSR)


where
TNRL=TNR-DWDROOP
DWDROOP=DWATT*DWKDG
FSRN is speed control FSR
TNRL is load turbine speed reference
TNH is turbine shaft speed
FSKNG is FSR speed ref prop gain (constant)
DWKDG is speed control droop reference
DWDROOP is turbine load reference
DWKDG is calculated constant. For frame nine machine of 125 MW capacity and 4%
droop setting DWKDG=4/125=0.032 %/ MW. It can be calculated for 5% droop and 6%
droop.
Let us take an example:
Machine is operating at 62.5 MW load at 50 HZ and TNR is 102%
Suppose grid frequency dips to 49 HZ
TNRL=(102-62.5*.032)=100
TNH=98%
FSKNG=15 (constant)
FSRN=(100-98)*15+35(existing FSR)
So, new FSR will be 65%, in this process the machine may reach base load. Once the
machine reach base load FSRT takeover the control from FSRN. When the grid
frequency sharply increases the machine gets unloaded as per the above calculation.
Sometimes, manual intervention is required to stop unloading beyond the acceptable
limits.
