If  the speed 
changer setting is changed 
by 
AP,  while 
the load demand
changes by APo, the 
steady frequency 
change 
is obtained by superposition, 
i.e.
(8.21)
According to 
Eq. 
(8.2I) 
the frequency 
change 
caused by 
load demand 
can be
compensated by 
changing 
the setting of the 
speed 
changer, i.e.

A  100 MVA  synchronous 
generator 
operates 
on full 
load at at frequency 
of 50
Hz. 
The load is suddenly 
reduced to 50 MW.  Due 
to time 
lag in 
governor
system, the steam 
valve begins 
to close after 0.4 seconds. 
Determine 
the 
change

in this time.

Two 
generators rated 
200 
MW  and 
400 MW 
are operating 
in 
parallel. 
The
droop 
characteristics 
of 
their 
governors 
are 4Vo and 5Vo, 
respectively from 
no
load 
to full 
load. 
Assuming 
that 
the 
generators are operating 
at 50 
Hz 
at 
no
load, 
how 
would a 
load 
of 600 
MW be 
shared 
between 
them? 
What will be 
the
system 
frequency 
at this 
load? 
Assume 
free 
governor 
operation.
Repeat 
the 
problem if 
both 
governors have 
a droop 
of 4Vo.
Solution 
Since 
the 
generators are in 
parallel, 
they will 
operate 
at the same
frequency 
at 
steady 
load.
Let load 
on 
generator 1 
(200 
MW) 
= 
x MW
and 
load 
on 
generator 2 
(400 
MW)

It  is  observed 
here 
that 
due 
to  difference 
in 
droop characteristics 
of
governors, 
generator 
I 
gets 
overloaded 
while 
generator 
2 is 
underloaded.
It easily 
follows 
from 
above 
that if both 
governors 
have 
a droop of.4Vo, they
will 
share 
the load 
as 
200 MW 
and 
400 
MW respectively, 
i.e. they are loaded
corresponding 
to 
their 
ratings. 
This  indeed 
is  desirable 
from  operational
considerations.
Dynamic 
Response
To 
obtain 
the dynamic 
response 
giving the 
change in frequency 
as 
function of
the 
time 
for a 
step 
change 
in load, 
we must 
obtain the 
Laplace inverse 
of 
Eq.
(8.14).

equation

of
