Q#1 Synchronous Machines GATE EE 2022 (Set 1) NAT +2 marks -0 marks

Two generating units rated for 250 MW and 400 MW have governor speed regulations of 6% and 6.4%, respectively, from no load to full load. Both the generating units are operating in parallel to share a load of 500 MW. Assuming free governor action, the load shared in MW, by the 250 MW generating unit is _________. (round off to nearest integer)

Q#2 Synchronous Machines GATE EE 2020 (Set 1) NAT +1 mark -0 marks

A single 50 Hz synchronous generator on droop control was delivering 100 MW power to a system. Due to increase in load, generator power had to be increased by 10 MW, as a result of which, system frequency dropped to 49.75 Hz. Further increase in load in the system resulted in a frequency of 49.25 Hz. At this condition, the power in MW supplied by the generator is __________ (rounded off to 2 decimal pages).

Q#4 Synchronous Machines GATE EE 2014 (Set 2) NAT +2 marks -0 marks

There are two generator in a power system. No-load frequencies of the generators are 51.5Hz and 51Hz, respectively. And both are having droop constant of 1 Hz/MW. Total load in the system is 2.5MW. Assuming that the generators are operating under their respective droop characteristics, the frequency of the power system in Hz in the steady state is__________.

Q#5 Synchronous Machines GATE EE 2007 (Set 1) MCQ +2 marks -0.66 marks

An isolated 50 Hz synchronous generator is rated at 15 MW which is also the maximum continuous power limit of its prime mover. It is equipped with a speed governor with 5% droop. Initially, the generator is feeding three loads of 4 MW each at 50 Hz. One of these loads is programmed to trip permanently if the frequency falls below 48 Hz. If an additional load of 3.5 MW is connected then the frequency will settle down to

49.417 Hz              

49.917 Hz

50.083 Hz              

50.583 Hz
