• Primary Frequency Response are actions to arrest and stabilize frequency in response to frequency deviations. Primary Response comes from generator governor response, load response (motors) and other devices that provide immediate response based on local (device- level) control.
• Generator Governor Response within 0-10 seconds..
Primary Frequency Response

Frequency Point A is the frequency prior to the eventFrequency Point C is the nadir or lowest point Frequency Point B is the settling frequency

Event Occurrence
• The majority of the Eastern events where frequency declines in excess of 36 mHz is when the interconnections are lightly loaded and the majority of generation is dispatch is less than Pmax.

Other issues
• Some units come out of AGC or MW Set Point Control when frequency response is being provided.
• Conventional Steam Turbines operating in sliding pressure or turbine following mode
• Resolution/quality of speed signal

RELIABILITY | ACCOUNTABILITY26
“If I provide primary frequency response I will be penalized.”• Interconnection frequency events resulting in deviations below the
recommended governor deadband settings are infrequent (about 1 / week)
• Primary frequency response is a relatively small amount of energy for a short period
Typically provided for about 120 seconds
Roughly 0.5% of capacity
• Tariff provisions vary but typically measure dispatch imbalance or deviation charges based on substantially longer time intervals (on the order of 30 to 60 minutes with a tolerance band of 5-10%)
• Tariff provisions typically allow for exemptions or recourse if a generating resource is subject to imbalance or deviation charges due to providing frequency response
• Contact your Transmission Provider for specific tariff information

Fall Outages 2015/ Spring 2016
Note: Need to make sure dead bands and droop are coordinated to be the same in the Plant DCS as Turbine.
• Check and add if necessary Frequency Response Algorithm on Frame Gas Turbines
• Check/ Adjust Dead Bands and Droops
• Check Conventional Steam Unit
