Active and Reactive power supplied to the bus bar depends on load
Frequency and voltage of the bus bar we are able to control.
In grid mode the power generation station or power plant is in parallel with the grid. As
the total plant is connected to grid- the frequency & voltage is uncontrollable, depends on
the grid voltage & frequency. But the load is controllable, so is power factor, as we can set
the load of an unit to 5MW or 8MW and set the power factor to .80 and alternator will
generate power following the commands.
In grid mode-
Isochronous is basically zero droop ie engine speed (and therefore generator output frequency) is kept constant
from no load to full load. Sudden load changes can cause speed to deviate, however the governor will always
work to bring speed back to the same value. Isochronous governing is usually achieved with electronic controls,
although many electronic governors can also be set up to run in droop. From a reciprocating engine genset
perspective, isochronous is pretty much the standard for new equipment these days. Load sharing in parallel is
usually achieved through the use of isochronous load sharing controls. As noted before, it is important to
remember that generator frequency is directly proportional to engine speed. Some electrical loads are very
sensitive to frequency.
