Line Droop Compensation - incorrect term?
Line Droop Compensation - incorrect term?
(OP)
Hello.
I am familiar with the term Line Drop Compensation but I've seen mentions of a term Line Droop Compensation which I think is a misnomer and has emerged by mistake. Afterwards, it seems to me, this erroneous term has been adopted by others and so the mistake has multiplied. It is easy to understand why such a mistake could exist since as far as I know there is a term Voltage Droop which describes a slope in voltage but from what I've seen in textbooks the correct term is Line Drop Compensation (LTC).
Does anybody know of a "Line Droop Compensation" that would mean something different than "Line Drop Compensation" or is it just a misnomer?

For a generator with a synchronous speed of 1800 RPM and a no load speed of 1854 RPM the droop is 3%
1800 RPM x 1.03% = 1854 RPM
The proportional band of the same speed control system will be 1854 RPM - 1800RPM / 1854 RPM = 0.029%
Or 3% proportional band plus 3% offset based on the full load speed.

When I think of Droop, it is generally in terms of generator controls.

A recloser is a piece of apparatus, while reclosure is the operation performed by a recloser. Both are valid words but have different meanings.

True story:
A co-worker once used an incorrect spelling in a log item, which error considerably distorted the intended meaning. When I pointed it out to him, he retorted, "Nobody cares about spelling anymore; it's not a big deal, so shut your pie-hole."
When I next created a log item in which I reported on something he had told me, I deliberately spelled his last name as "Dung" instead of "Dunn." When he tore a strip off me about mis-spelling his name, I retorted, "Nobody cares about spelling anymore; it's not a big deal, so shut your pie-hole."

I've spent many happy days working on a pair of WTA-300B's which didn't want to play nicely with the generators they were controlling. Quite a simple AVR design compared to the computerised types of today, but repairable and maintainable with fairly modest test gear.
