What is Droop setting in Governor of Generators? How Load of Generators in parallel is controlled?

Welcome

Thank you for the comment. % Droop = [(Speed at no load - Speed at full load) /No load speed] x100

Thank you for the comment. The query raised by you is explained in the description. Please check the description. Observation is appreciated. Thank you.

Yes. It is possible

I read somewhere that you can't. They fight each other and eventually one takes all the load, frequency rises drastically causing tripping. I definitely read this somewhere recently

@@johanburger6109 with commercial, industrial & utility power plant generators the droop setting on the govenor - it keeps the engine or turbine running at an exact speed as to produce 50 or 60 HZ - with out a droop conphensation it would be very difficult to keep a balanced load on multibale generators phased in to the buss - as the load increases the droop increases the fuel or steam needed to keep the RPMs at an exact speed - on a 60 HZ system if any generator is .3 HZ to fast or To slow it can trip off the buss - I had worked in the gulf of Mexico off shore oilfields for yrs - I started as a rig electrician at 18 in the 70s but I had my grand fathers knowledge of 70 yrs of power plant generators - I had worked with him for yrs also off and on - in the old power plants and the rigs into the 80s you had to keep checking the load and you made constant fine adjustments so the 3 or more generator loads so they were balanced - if you take a small air-cooled gas genarator and put a frequency meter on it - with out a load it might be 63 HZ - but as you increase the load sence it has no droop comphinsation the speed of the generator will continue to drop so at full load it might be at 59HZ - you can sink those generators into a buss and phase them in with other gens but you have to constantly tweak the goviner sence they have no droop capability - the governor's will help to maintain say close to 900 RPMs but with a generator it has to be an exact 900 RPMs to maintain exactly 60 HZ - the droop makes that fine adjustment of 1-5 RPMs - today it's all automated so there's no need for an engineer to make fine adjustments thru out the day

@@able880 thanks Sidney appreciate it, I found another video on this topic that cleared it up for me as you say, I have spent most of my life at the refinery wearing numerous different caps in the electrical and would love to become a rig electrician. There's an art to it as well as an honour. Just immigrated to the UK, hopefully can find something soon. Working as an compex electrician now. Its a bit boring as it's just focused and install but atleast its a foot in the door. Hope you are doing well otherwise. And yes you can't beat knowledge handed down from. If I have a son one day I will also show him everything I know. Knowledge is key and the quicker you can learn something make it stick and utilise it the better

@@johanburger6109 can u send the link to the vedio u found?

Thank you for the comment. Your observation is appreciated. Frequency to be taken should be 51hz and not 50.1hz. The correction of the scale is mentioned in the description box. Please check the description box.

It is simply 2% of the frequency. 2% of the 50Hz frequency is 1Hz.

@@ElectroGlobe1 But on the graph of G1 the change of frequency corresponds to 0.1 Hz (from 50.1 Hz under no load ==> 50 Hz under full Load)

@@marsupilamiftw Thank you very much for watching the video, and your precious feedback. The note about the graph will be put in the description box.
