Systems and methods for improved transient response of turbine generators

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer executable code stored thereon, the code comprising instructions to:

• execute a mechanical power system stabilizer (MPSS) system configured to dynamically stabilize an operation of a generator system by adjusting a gas turbine system, wherein the generator system is mechanically coupled to the gas turbine system, and wherein the MPSS system when executed is configured to:
• detect a first swing transient event of a transient event caused by a power grid that is electrically coupled to the generator system, wherein the first swing transient event comprises a first change leading to a first peak in a power angle of the generator system;
• mechanically deload the gas turbine system in response to detection of the first swing transient event;
• wait until a clearing time has elapsed;
• and
• mechanically load the gas turbine system.

A system, comprising:

• a gas turbine system configured to convert a fuel into rotative power;
• a gas generator system mechanically coupled to the gas turbine system and configured to generate an electric power based on the rotative power;
• and
• a gas turbine controller configured to:
• detect a first swing transient event of a transient event caused by a power grid that is electrically coupled to the generator system, wherein the first swing transient event comprises a first change leading to a first peak in a power angle of the generator system;
• mechanically deload the gas turbine system in response to detection of the first swing transient event;
• wait until a clearing time has elapsed;
• and
• mechanically load the gas turbine system.
