Abstract

Conventionally, frequency correction is made by water turbine power plants. This paper addresses the role of the gas turbine power plants in frequency correction within the power networks. It gives those conditions that are necessary for a gas turbine power plant that attends in frequency correction task. It studies the functional behavior of the governor system by using extensive simulations in MATLAB environment and some experimental measurements. Simulation results show that the proposed approach improves operation conditions in frequency contribution of gas turbine, remarkably.

 

Key words: Frequency contribution, governor, speed droop, isochronous.
