Revision history [back]

The L+3 VAR is frequency reference, not frequency. It is defined in per-unit frequency deviation from nominal. Increasing this is raising the set-point of the frequency control so your machine is responding by increasing its active power to raise the frequency to this new set-point. Sounds like you want to lower the frequency reference not raise it. If your machine is already dispatched to its Pmax it cannot increase its active power beyond this limit.
