Abstract
One example includes a utility power system. The system includes a power generator system, the power generator system comprising a generator step-up (GSU) transformer and a power generator. The power generator can be configured to provide generator power to a power transmission system via the GSU transformer in a feedback manner based on a predetermined setpoint. The system further includes a voltage droop compensation controller configured to monitor the generator power at a high-side of the GSU transformer and to adjust the predetermined setpoint based on the monitored generator power to substantially mitigate circulating currents.
