(b) Two generators operate in parallel and supply a total load of 400 MW. The
04
capacities of the machines are 200 MW and 500 MW and both the generators
have droop characteristics of 4% from no load to full load. Calculate the load
taken by the each machine assuming free governor action. Also find the
system frequency at this load. No load frequency is 50 Hz.
(c) A generator is delivering 60% of its maximum power to an infinite bus
07
through a transmission line. A fault occurs such that the reactance between
the generator and the infinite bus is increased to 3 times its pre-fault value.
When the fault is cleared the maximum power that can be delivered is 80%
of the original maximum value. Determine the critical clearing angle
