Distribute active and reactive power across parallel generators for stable operation.

After paralleling, governor and excitation controls should share load according to each unit’s rating. Load steps and unit trips are part of the design. Assess sharing as a percentage of each generator?s rating. Review the response when a unit joins, leaves normally or trips unexpectedly.
