Systems and methods for monitoring power generation are provided. For example, such a system may include a gas turbine, an electrical generator coupled to the drive, a controller coupled to the gas turbine, and a compliance monitor. The gas turbine may generate a torque, and the electrical generator may provide power to a power grid based on the torque. The controller may cause the gas turbine to vary the torque in response to a frequency disturbance occurring on the power grid. The compliance monitor may determine whether the response to the frequency disturbance complies with a specification for the response.
