Two generating units rated for 500 MW and 400 MW have governor speed regulation of 6.0 and 6.4 percent, respectively, from no-load to full-load, respectively. The generators are operating in parallel and share a load of 600 MW. Use a common base of 1000 MVA and assuming free governor action, justify: i) the new governor speed regulation. ii) the load shared by each unit.

Two Generators rated 200 MW and 400 MW are operating in parallel. The droop characteristics of their governor are 4 % and 5% respectively fro no load to full load. The speed changers are so set the governor operate at 50 Hz sharing the full load of 600 MW, in the ratio of their ratings. If the load reduces to 400 MW, how will it be shared among the generators and what will the system frequency be? Assume free governor system. The speed changers of the governors are reset so that the load of 400 MW is shared among the generators at 50 Hz in the ratio of their ratings. What are the no-load frequencies of the generators ?
