Abstract
Systems, methods, and a voltage regulator are provided for tuning reactive droop compensation of a generator in a parallel power generation system. The voltage regulator is configured to compute a simulated droop compensation voltage for the generator and control an excitation signal to the generator based at least in part on the simulated droop compensation voltage.

A voltage regulator for tuning a reactive droop compensation of a generator in a parallel power generation system, said voltage regulator configured to:
- compute a simulated droop compensation voltage for the generator;
- and
- control an excitation signal to the generator based at least in part on the simulated droop compensation voltage.
A method of tuning a reactive droop compensation of a generator in a parallel power generation system, said method comprising:
- applying a resistive load bank to the generator;
- computing a simulated droop compensation voltage for the generator using a voltage regulator associated with the generator;
- and
- controlling an excitation signal to the generator based at least in part on the simulated droop compensation voltage using the voltage regulator.
A parallel power generation system comprising:
- a first generator configured to produce an electrical output to drive a load;
- and
- a voltage regulator for tuning a reactive droop compensation of said first generator, said voltage regulator configured to:
- compute a simulated droop compensation voltage for said first generator;
- and
- control an excitation signal to said first generator based at least in part on the simulated droop compensation voltage.
