    Droop Setting in Turbine

    Uploaded by

    The droop setting in a steam turbine refers to the percentage decrease in turbine speed that occurs when load is increased from no load to full load. When load increases in parallel mode, the turbine speed decreases slightly according to the droop setting while the torque, current, and power all increase to supply more load. A droop setting of 4% means the turbine speed decreases from 3000 rpm at no load to 2880 rpm at full load, allowing the turbine to increase power output in response to increasing electrical demand on the grid by adjusting its speed reference above the actual speed set by the grid frequency.

    What is meant by the droop setting in a steam turbine?

    Suppose if Load is Increased , exactly what happened in an turbine ? Because If i am


    right, the speed is decreased (as per droop setting )whenever the load is increased ! But
    as per the theory , whenever we increase the load in an parallel mode ,the torque will
    increase and vice versa current will increase & finally power will increase. So exactly
    what iam asking , whenever we increases the load in an parallel mode , what happened
    in an steam turbine.

    In electrical power generation, Droop Speed Control is a speed control mode of a prime
    mover driving a
    synchronous generator connected to an electrical grid . This mode allows synchronous
    generators to run in parallel, so that loads are shared among generators in proportion to
    their power rating.
    The frequency of a synchronus generator is given by
    F=(N * P)/120
    where
    F = Frequency (in Hz),
    P = number of poles,
    N = Speed of generator (in RPM)
    The frequency (F) of a synchronous generator is directly proportional to its speed (N).
    When multiple synchronous generators are connected in parallel to electrical grid, the
    frequency is fixed by the grid, since individual power output of each generator will be
    small compared to the load on a large grid, and thus all the synchronous generators run
    at the same speed (N).
    A speed reference as percentage of actual speed is set in this mode. As the generator is
    loaded from no load to base load, the actual speed of the prime mover tend to decrease.
    In order to increase the power output in this mode, the prime mover speed reference is
    increased. Because the actual prime mover speed is fixed by the grid, this difference in
    speed reference and actual speed of the prime mover is used to increase the flow of
    working fluid (fuel, steam, etc.) to the prime mover, and hence power output is
    increased. The reverse will be true for decreasing power output. The prime mover speed
    reference is always greater than actual speed of the prime mover. The actual speed of
    the prime mover is allowed to "droop" or decrease with respect to the reference, and so
    the name.
    For example, if the turbine is rated at 3000 rpm, and the machine speed reduces from
    3000 rpm to 2880 rpm when it is loaded from no load to base load, then the droop % is
    given by
    =(3000 3120) / 3000
    = 4%
    = (3000 2880) / 3000
    = 4%
    In this case, speed reference will be 104% and actual speed will be 100%. For every 1%
    change in the turbine speed reference, the power output of the turbine will change by
    25% of rated for a unit with a 4% droop setting.
    Droop is therefore expressed as the percentage change in (design) speed required for
    100% govern
