There are lot of information already exists in this forum as wareagle searched for you.

I would suggest you to read the manual of the Governor (for speed droop setting for KW control) and AVR (for voltage droop setting for KVAR control). The manuals should have the detail steps for these settings. For simple cases, both Governor and AVR should have a droop setting knob and you just set the knob with required settings. Generally, the Governor droop setting is 4% and AVR droop setting is 2%. Governor droop setting also may need to change some hardwire connection change to differentiate it from isochronous mode. Again, your best help for detail settings should be from the manuals or the manufacturers.

Term of droop setting belongs to the engine. Not directly related to the alternator.

For a standalone generator set, of which not paralleled any other machine does not need any droop setting. Then the drop setting should be set to fix "0"

Droop setting is only needed for the purpose of simple proportional load sharing when generators are paralleled. Droop and Gain settings are located on the electronic fuel governor, on the engine, to advance or retard the phase angle of the engine in accordance with the shared load proportion to the other machine(s) , after the machines are electrically coupled to each other.

If any automatic device, to ensure Proportional Load Sharing is in control, then there is no need to set any droop setting. This is the job of the automatic device.

pls. am sorry I did not get u right. do you mean quadrature droop setting or voltage and speed ( two dependent brothers ) of ur alternator is dropping. If the latter is the case let me have the specification of ur drive engine.
