Generator Load Model

This document describes a generator load model and the equations used to analyze the power balance in an electrical grid system. When additional load is connected, the generator immediately increases its output to match. This creates a power imbalance that causes the system frequency to change. Equations are provided to model how the change in kinetic energy of the system and the "old" area load dependency affect the overall power balance and frequency response over time. The final equation models the generator load transfer function, relating a change in generator power output to a change in load and resulting frequency deviation.

GENERATOR LOAD MODEL

The incremental power input to generator load system is PG - PD


Where PG =Pt, incremental turbine power output (assuming generator incremental loss to
negligible) and Pd is the load increment.
This incremental power to the system is accounted for the following ways
1. The system is originally running in its normal state with complete power balance, that is, P0G =
P0D + losses. The frequency is normal value f0. All rotating equipment represents a total kinetic
energy of Wkin = W0kin MW-Sec.
2. By connecting additional load objects to the system the load demand increases by P d which
refer to as new load.( If load objects are disconnected then P D < 0, that is, the new load is
negative.) The generator immediately increases its output P G to match the new load , that
is, PG = PD .
3. There will now be a power imbalance in the area that equals P T - PD megawatts. As a result
the speed or frequency will change.This change will be assumed uniform throughout the area.As
the kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed, for the area kinetic energy.

Area power balance required that the increase in turbine power equals the sum of old and
new load lunches plus the rate of change of kinetic energy. The area power balance as follows:
