Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for controlling the rotational speed of a turbogenerator in stand-alone mode to account for a present operating load and a transient reserve capability. A base speed set point may be received, comprising a baseline speed setting for the turbogenerator. A speed offset may be determined comprising an adjustment to the base speed set point required to accommodate the transient reserve capability. An adjusted speed set point may be produced by combining the base speed set point and the speed offset. The rotational speed of the turbogenerator may then be set to the adjusted speed set point.
