Currently, Ecuadorian electrical system operation is experiencing several technical challenges, such as: 1) neighboring electrical systems integration in the Andean Electrical Interconnection System (SINEA) and 2) primary energy sources diversification. Under these new operating conditions, dynamic safety may be compromised by frequency stability issues. Based on frequency regulation, the objective is to use control mechanisms and available generation reserves to respond suitably to the electrical system's demands. Within this context, it becomes imperative to devise methodologies that ensures fast and accurate responses of power-frequency control equipment, such as speed regulators employed for Primary Frequency Regulation in generators. Given this foundation, an approach is presented relying on heuristic optimization methodologies, for the development of a tool that helps to compute the parametric identification and adjustment of speed controllers. Using measurements obtained from the proposed methodology, the developed tool was able to effectively perform the identification and validation of the speed regulation system of the CCS power plant as well as to propose new parameters that improve the response of the identified system.
