Question 4
4.1 A 600 MVA, 50 Hz turbine-generator has a regulation constant R=0.06 per
unit based on its own rating. If the generator frequency increases by 0.02 Hz
in steady-state, what is the decrease in mechanical power output. Assume
a fixed reference power setting. (5)
4.2 A three-phase, 50 Hz, 100 MVA, 4-pole synchronous generator has an
inertia constant H of 3.5 s and is supplying 0.16 pu real power on a system
base of 500 MVA. The input to the generator is increased to 0.18 pu. Determine:
4.2.1 The kinetic energy stored in the moving parts of the generator (2)
4.2.2 The acceleration of the generator
