Abstract:The primary frequency regulation of generator is import to frequency rapid recovery of power grid, this paper focuses on the ability of primary frequency regulation, an estimate scheme based on WAMS data is proposed. Based on enormous WAMS history statistic data, date and frequency difference two factors are considered. the ability of primary frequency regulation of single generator and power grid is estimated, the program is running in Jiangsu WAMS and providing decision support for power grid dispatching control.
