Abstract

It is necessary to estimate the parameters accurately to have better prediction on the response of the generator under different operating conditions. Since AGC is closely related to real power and frequency of the unit, dynamic parameters required by a standard AGC function are determined for the electric system of an oil facility. Speed droop characteristics, governor deadbands, and generation ramp rates are evaluated by means of field tests on thermal units. Frequency bias for the Area Control ACE calculation is also presented Test procedures for each parameter calculation are described in detail for thermal units of 1, 3 and 3.75 MW installed at the Ecuadorian wells-oil facilities. Test results for these units demonstrate the practicability of the proposed test procedures.
