Primary and Secondary Frequency Regulation of Diesel Generator Sets

What is the difference between primary frequency regulation and secondary frequency regulation of diesel generator sets? The primary frequency modulation is to participate in the power grid cycle adjustment with certain amplitude limiting and dead zone, and the secondary frequency modulation is to accept the command of middle note or manual command. The primary frequency regulation is carried out by the governor device, and the small frequency regulation range belongs to fine tuning. The secondary frequency modulation is performed by a frequency modulator. The large frequency modulation range belongs to coarse tuning, primary frequency modulation. When each diesel generator set is connected to the grid for operation, the frequency of the grid changes due to external load changes. At this time, the regulating system of each diesel generator unit participates in the regulation function, changing the load carried by each diesel generator unit to balance it with external loads.

At the same time, efforts are also made to reduce changes in the frequency of the power grid, which is known as primary frequency regulation. Secondary frequency regulation and primary frequency regulation are differential adjustments that do not maintain the frequency of the power grid, but can only mitigate the degree of change in the frequency of the power grid. So it is also necessary to use synchronizers to increase or decrease the load of certain units to restore the frequency of the power grid, which is called secondary frequency regulation. Only after secondary frequency regulation can the grid frequency accurately maintain a constant value.


There are currently two methods for secondary frequency regulation, with the dispatch center ordering each factory to adjust its load. The diesel generator set adopts AGC mode to achieve automatic load dispatch of the diesel generator set. Simply put, primary frequency regulation refers to the automatic adjustment of the diesel generator unit load by the turbine speed control system based on changes in grid frequency to restore grid frequency. Secondary frequency regulation refers to the manual adjustment of unit load based on grid frequency.

Diesel Generator Power Ratings: Standby vs Prime vs Continuous

Diesel generator sets are commonly used in a variety of sectors due to their dependable performance and high efficiency. They can be used for emergency power supply in the event of a power cut or used in places without connection to a power grid. When selecting a diesel generator for your home or business, you need to consider many factors, such as generator’s ratings. In this article, we’ll explain the three basic rating types - standby, prime, and continuous in diesel generators. ISO-8528-1:2018 defines basic generator set rating categories based on four operational categories: Emergency Standby Power (ESP), Prime Power (PRP), Continuous Power (COP) and Limited-Time Running Prime (LTP). Read on and learn the application of power ratings for engines used in generating sets. Standby Power Rating Standby Power(ESP) is used to supply emergency power when the external power supply is interrupted, such as power outages. Standby power rated generators can supply reliable electricity as t...

What Should You Pay Attention to in Routine Maintenance of Diesel Generator Sets

In modern society, the stability of power supply is directly related to the operation efficiency of enterprises and people's quality of life. Diesel generators have become an indispensable backup power supply or main power source in various industries due to their high efficiency, durability and reliability. However, to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of the generator sets, regular maintenance is essential. Here is what you need to pay attention to in the routine maintenance of diesel generators. Keep your generator clean It’s important to keep the generator’s exterior and the generator room clean. Regularly remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate to on the generator’s surface. This is not only for the sake of beauty, but also for the smooth operation of the unit. Cleaning the generator’s exterior, air intake vents, exhaust outlets and generator room can effectively reduce the risk of generator overheating. In addition, check if the connection bol...
