🔍 Key Concepts

• Speed droop in generator governors and how it affects load sharing • Relationship between frequency (speed) and kW load in parallel generators • What happens to load distribution when two machines have different droop settings but the same no‑load speed

💭 Think About

• Think about which governor will reduce its fuel/steam input more quickly as speed (frequency) rises when load is taken off the system. • If both machines are at the same no‑load speed, which unit will show a bigger change in power output for a small change in system frequency? • Picture a graph of kW vs. frequency (or speed) for each unit’s droop: which droop line is flatter, and what does that mean for how much load the unit will carry at a given system frequency?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition of lesser (smaller) speed droop: does that mean a flatter or steeper kW–frequency curve? • Verify how governors share load: units with different droops will share load according to the slope of their droop curves at the same system frequency. • Check which effect is directly tied to droop setting: load sharing (kW) vs. sensitivity vs. power response. Focus on what droop primarily controls.
