Damping Coefficient "D" - System Equivalent?

Damping Coefficient "D" - System Equivalent?

Damping Coefficient "D" - System Equivalent?

(OP)
I've been asked this question several times before and yet I'm not clear on how to answer this.

For some System Impact Studies, developers often ask about equivalent Inertia Constant "H". For an estimate, I just convert all generators H's to same base and add them.

Now for Damping Coefficient "D" is it the same? I'm not quite sure if this actually makes sense.

As always, your enlightening comments are welcomed.

Thank You!!!
