Question:

A large cruise ship generator was repaired and brought back online by synchronizing with five other generators, which collectively make an infinite bus for the incoming generator. The incoming generator has the synchronous reactance Xs = 1.2 pu, VT = 1.0 pu, and the field current If = 800 A at the time of synchronization. After synchronization, while keeping the field current unchanged, the steam valves are adjusted such that the generator delivers 0.3 pu of its rated power.

(1) Determine the armature current in pu value when delivering 30% power with rated field current If = 800A. 

(2) If the field current is now increased by 50% while keeping the power output the same, determine the new armature current in pu value.
