distribution factor of 10% for this schedule. How many MW will flow on
transmission line A-B? ✔️Ans -20MW
According to the load/frequency relationship, a 1% change in frequency will
lead to what approximate magnitude of load change in a typical 10000MW
system? ✔️Ans -200MW
A governor with a 0% droop is called: ✔️Ans -An isochronous
governor
Steam turbine generators typically have better governor response than
hydroelectric generating units. True or False ✔️Ans -False

balancing authority's frequency response characteristic (FRC), the natural
response of the BA, The AGC system's bias value.
