Free Governor Operation

Only Victoria and Kothmale machines operated

Frequency Response without Kothmale m/c and Victoria one m/c

With Free Governor

Without Free Governor

Critical Generator Under Frequency Trip Settings

Initial Frequency Response

It depends on the characteristics of the synchronous loads and synchronous generators.

df/dt t=0+= P/2Hsystem

Hsystem includes the inertia contribution from generators and synchronous loads. (MW-s/MVA)

Operation of Under frequency

df/dt setting was not operated initial df/dt = 0.6 Hz/s Stage I 62 MW (4.35 %) 7 MW of load not tripped Stage II 40 MW (2.8 %) 25 MW of load not tripped Stage III 92 MW (6.4 %) 20 MW of load not tripped Stage IV 20 MW (1.4 %) lack of load shedding in stage IV since frequency remains appro: 1.6 seconds below 48 Hz

Total load shedding 214 MW

Frequency response if all feeders operate at stage I,II and III

Frequency response with reduced time setting in stage IV

Reduce time delay to 1 sec from 1.5 sec
More load shedding In stage IV 72 MW
