Practical Questions
(b). A 50 Hz generator is delivering 50% of the power that it is capable of delivering through a transmission line
to an infinite bus. A fault occurs that increases the reactance between the generator and the infinite bus to 500%
of the value before the fault. When the fault is isolated, the maximum power that can be delivered is 75% of the
original maximum value. Determine the critical clearing angle for the condition described.
(c ). Fig. shows a generator connected to a metropolitan system (infinite bus) through high voltage lines.
The numbers on the figure indicate the reactances in p.u. Breakers adjacent to a fault on both sides are arranged
to clear simultaneously. Determine the critical clearing angle for the generator for a 3-phase fault at the point P
when the generator is delivering 1.0 p.u. power. Assume that the voltage behind transient reactance is 1.2 p.u.
for the generator and that the voltage at the infinite bus is 1.0 p.u.
(c ). A turboalternator with 4-pole, 50 Hz, 80 MW, p.f. 0.8 lag and moment of inertia 40,000 kgm2 is
interconnected via a short transmission line to another alternator with 2-pole, 50 Hz, 100 MW, p.f. 0.8 lag and
moment of inertia 10,000 kgm2. Determine the inertia constant of the single equivalent machine on a base of
100 MVA.
(b). Station A transmits 50 MW of power to station B through a tie line. The maximum steady state capacity of
the line is 100 MW. Determine the allowable sudden load that can be switched on without loss of stability.
(c ). A 4-pole, 50 Hz, 22 kV turboalternator has a rating of 100 MVA p.f. 0.8 lag. The moment of inertia of rotor
is 8000 kgm2. Determine M and H.
(b). Determine the kinetic energy stored by a 50 MVA, 50 Hz two pole alternator with an inertia constant (H) of
5 kW sec. per KVA. If the machine is running steadily at synchronous speed with a shaft input (minus rotational
losses) of 65000 HP when the electrical power developed suddenly changes from its normal value to a value of
40 MW, determine the acceleration or deceleration of the rotor. If the acceleration computed for the generator is
constant for a period of 10 cycles, determine the change in torque angle in that period and the r.p.m. at the end
of the 10 cycles.
(c ). Derive an expression for the maximum power transfer between two nodes. Show that this power is
maximum when X = 3R , where X is the reactance and R the resistance of the system.
(C ). What is equal area criterion ? Discuss its application and limitation in the study of power system stability.
(b). Discuss the application of equal area criterion for the system stability study when (i) a sudden increase in
load takes place, and (ii) a short circuit on one of the parallel feeders takes place which is cleared after certain
time.
( c) Differentiate between steady state stability and transient stability of a power system. Discuss the factors that
affect (i) steady state stability, and (ii) transient state stability of the system.
