Question
A power station comprises two synchronous generators with 200 MW and 400 MW
output power capacity. The two generators operate in parallel and are connected to the
grid network. Both generators have governor droop characteristics of 3% (no-load to
full-load percentage speed drop). Assume a free governor action.
a) If the supply frequency, determined by the grid, is 1.005 pu., calculate the total
power supplied by the power station.
b) The 400 MW machine is more efficient than the 200 MW machine. For the same
total power as determined in part (a), calculate the percentage adjustment in the
no-load speed to be made by the speeder motor on the two machines if the 400
MW machine is to operate at its full capacity while the 200 MW machine supplies
the difference. Assume that the frequency of the grid supply to remain as in part (a).
Ans. 500 MW, 0.485% increase, 0.971% decrease
