Hi there I know there’s a bunch of speed droop forums on this site but I have a few questions pertaining what the pictures I’ve posted mean.
I think I know how isochronous works and speed droop works.
Isochronous is basically speed droop set to 0 to constantly adjust output to keep unit frequency at the desired setpoint.
Speed droop is basically how far the frequency is out of wack to make adjustments to fuel and it’s normally at 5%.
Now what I don’t understand is with the photos I’ve uploaded, speed regulation changes the wicket gates based off of the speed adjustment control knob error and adjusts generation to meet that speed adjustment set point but where is frequency? Does this governor not control the wicket gates when frequency goes up or down it just changes it based off of what the operator sets the speed adjust?
Now their definition of speed droop is looking at wicket gate position instead of mega watts and still looks at speed adjust error but why not frequency I’m very confused. Doesn’t it need to look at frequency instead of speed adjust error that’s literally controlled by the operator?
