Three physically identical synchronous
generators are operating in parallel. They are all
rated
for
a
full
load
of 3 MW
at
0.8
PF
lagging.
The
no-load
frequency of generator A is 61 Hz, and
its speed
droop
is 3.4
percent. The no-load frequency of generator B
is 61.5 Hz, and
its speed droop is
3
percent.
The no-load
frequency of generator C is 60.5
Hz, and
its speed droop is 2.6
percent.

If
a total load consisting of
7 MW
is
being supplied by this power system, what will
the
system
frequency be
and how will the power
be shared
among
the
three
generators?
(b)
Create a plot showing
the
power supplied by each generator as a
function
of
the
total
power
supplied to
all
loads
(you
may

MATLAB to create this plot).
At what load does one of the generators exceed
its ratings?
Which generator exceeds its ratings
first?
(c)
Is this
power sharing
in
(a)
acceptable? Why or why not?
(d)
What

The
resulting plot is
shown below:
This plot reveals
that there
are power sharing problems both for high loads and
for
low loads.
Generator
B is
the
first
to exceed its ratings as load
increases. Its rated power is reached
at a total load of 6.45 MW. On
the other hand, Generator
C gets into trouble as the total
load
is
reduced.
When the total
load
drops to
2.4
MW, the direction of power flow reverses in
Generator C.
(c)
The power sharing in
(a)
is not acceptable, because
Generator 2 has
exceeded its power limits.
(d)
To improve the
power
sharing among the three generators in
(a)
without affecting the operating
frequency
of
the
system,
the
operator
should
decrease
the
governor
setpoints
on
Generator
B
while
simultaneously
increasing them in Generators
A and C.

A paper mill has
installed three steam generators (boilers)
to
provide
process
steam
and also to use
some
its
waste
products as an
energy source. Since there is extra
capacity,
the mill has installed
three 5-MW
turbine
generators to
take
advantage of
the
situation.
Each generator is a 4160-V 6250-kVA 0.85-PF-
lagging two-pole
Y-connected
synchronous
generator with a
synchronous reactance of 0.75
&
and
an
armature resistance of 0.04
&
. Generators 1 and 2 have a characteristic power-frequency
slope
s
P
of 2.5
MW/Hz,
and generators 2 and
3
have
a
slope of 3 MW/Hz.
(a)
If the no-load frequency of each of the three generators is adjusted to 61 Hz, how
much
power will
the
three machines
be supplying when
actual system frequency
is 60
Hz?
125
(b)
What
is
the
maximum
power
the
three generators can supply in
this condition without the ratings of one
of them
being
exceeded? At what
frequency
does this limit occur?
How much
power
does
each
generator
supply at that
point?
(c)
What
would have to
be done to get all three generators to supply their rated real and reactive powers
at an
overall operating frequency
of
60 Hz?
(d)
What would
the
internal
generated
voltages of the
three generators be under this
condition?
S
OLUTION
(a)
If the system frequency is 60 Hz and the no-load
frequencies
of
the
generators
are
61

then
the
power supplied by the generators will be

Therefore the total power supplied

(b)
The maximum
power supplied by any
one generator is (6250 kVA)(0.85)
=
5.31
MW.
Generator
3
will be
the
first
machine to reach that

The total power

generators
at this condition is 14.16 MW.
(c)
To get each of the generators to supply 5.31 MW at
60
Hz,
the
no-load
frequencies
of
Generator
1
and
Generator
2
would have to be adjusted to 62.12 Hz, and the no-load frequency of Generator 3 would
have
to
be
adjusted
to
61.77
Hz.
The field currents of the three generators must then be adjusted to get
them
supplying
a power
factor
of
0.85 lagging. At that point, each generator will be supplying its rated
real and reactive power.
