This application provides methods and systems for rapid load support for grid frequency transient events. Example systems may include a turbine having a first controller, a generator coupled to the turbine, where the generator is configured to provide power to an electrical grid, and an exciter configured to provide a magnetic field in the generator. The exciter may include a second controller configured to monitor a first set of electrical properties associated with the electrical grid, determine that a transient event is present on the electrical grid based on the first set of electrical properties, and send a notification of the transient event to the first controller.

Systems and methods for regulating fuel at a power plant are provided. One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for regulating fuel at a power plant. The method includes receiving data from an engine. The engine includes an A-ring, a B-ring, and a C-ring. The method includes updating a plurality of models based on the received data. The method includes predicting a plurality of outputs using the plurality of models for a plurality of fuel splits. Each fuel split includes a fuel amount associated with the A-ring. Each fuel split includes a fuel amount associated with the C-ring. The method includes selecting an actual fuel split based on the plurality of outputs.
