Q2 (a) Indicate any changes in a stand alone synchronous generators performance
or operating limits for the following changes to the generator design or
operation:
(i)
A reduction in the synchronous reactance.
(ii)
An increase in generator speed.
(iii)
An increase in the rotor current.
(iv)
An increase in the number of turns in the stator windings.
A star connected 3 phase wound field synchronous generator (Xs=4 Q)
operates with a 15 kV Excitation voltage at a load angle of 3G5° and is
connected to a 11 kV (phase voltage) grid. Using a combination of
calculation and scaled phasor diagram determine the resultant line
current (A), power factor and total output power (W). Draw the resultant
phasor diagram to scale including the resultant line current.
(b)
(c)
The load power is now halved with the Excitation voltage kept constant.
Using the phasor diagram drawn in Q2(b) graphically determine the new
line current, power factor and load angle.
Calculate the maximum theoretical output power for this given
Excitation voltage and grid phase voltage.
