To reveal the performance of primary frequency regulation of the 600MW sub-critical thermal power units in a wide load range and accurately simulate the process, the primary frequency regulation performance of a 600MW sub-critical thermal power unit was studied with a wide load ranging from 20% to 90% under rated conditions. The model of steam turbine in BPA was modified in consideration of steam pressure and the valve throttling effect. The primary frequency regulation performance of the unit was simulated with the modified model. The research results show that the primary frequency regulation performance of the thermal power unit is poor at low load and the results of simulation with the modified model are highly consistent with the tested data due to consideration of steam pressure and valve throttling effect, meaning that the model can be used to simulate the primary frequency regulation of the thermal power unit with wide load operation accurately.
