Conversion Constant

REAL

Constant

Conversion constant from per-unit gate position to per-unit mechanical torque.

Example:  A 120MVA generator operates at a power factor of 0.85.  The rated turbine output must be 0.85x120 or 102 MW.  If the turbine is designed to deliver this power at 95% gate, the power rating of the turbine would be 102/0.95 or 107.4 MW. Thus this conversion constant is 107.4/120.0 or 0.89.

Note that the governor output is limited by the Conversion Constant parameter.  If the machine output is more than the Conversion Constant at the time of transition, when the governor is released, it will restrict the output to the Conversion Constant and the machine speed will drop.  Hence take this factor into consideration while loading the machine.

Time Constant for Smoothing TmO

REAL

Variable

The mechanical torque from the machine needs to be smoothed to remove any ripple before it can be used for initializing the governor.  The Tm0 input is passed through a real pole block with this time constant before it is used.  This block is not a part of the governor dynamics and it is active only during the initialization [s]

Initialization switch: 0-Init; 1-Release

INTEGER

Variable

Use the machine initialization switch here.  During the initialization period (0), the governor will continuously initialize itself to the machine's mechanical torque output.  Thus when the machine is released, the governor will output the machine torque from its last time step and the transition will be smooth.  This also avoids the need to supply the initial mechanical torque.
