Frequency Deviation
Frequency Deviation
(OP)
I have a 33mW Load and intend to drive it with 3 GTGs running and 1 on standby each rated 12.9 mW,i also have the option of running 2GTS with one on stanby each rated 19mW.
can any one explain to me what frequency deviation issues could arise with either of these options

RE: Frequency Deviation
Steady state frequency should be your nominal frequency (50 or 60hz). You will have frequency variations on transient like large motor start/stop. Actual variation value will be related to your load variation and generators parameters. Frequency will change as you switch on/off load and the end of the day, you should have an average frequency value close to nominal.If you have small load variations (<3%) both system should work fine.

RE: Frequency Deviation
The amount of frequency deviation is a direct function of loads being started versus total generating capacity on line; provided the speed droop settings of all units are the same and all units are loaded to approximately the same percentage of their full load capacity, whether you have two GTG's @ 19 MW or three @ 13 MW a piece on line at the time is immaterial.
Generation source reliability and redundancy are anothe matter entirely - but you haven't asked about those!
