Question: ( 4 ) A 3 0 - kV . 3 - phase, 5 0 . Hz synchronous generator has a synchronous reactance of 9 /

(4) A 30-kV.3-phase, 50.Hz synchronous generator has a synchronous reactance of 9/ phase and a 3/ phase resistance. The generator is delivering 50 MVA at a 0.8 power factor lagging at the rated terminal voltage to an infinite bus. (a) Determine the excitation voltage E per phase and the power angle .(b) With excitation held constant at the value found in (a), the driving torque is reduced until the generator is delivering 25MW. Determine the armature current and the power factor. (c) If the generator is operating at the excitation voltage of part (a) what is the steady state maximum power the machine can deliver before losing synchronism? Also, find the armature current corresponding to this maximum power. (d) The excitation voltage is decreased to 79.2% of the value in part (a). The generator is delivering 40MW. Compute the power angle, armature current and power factor. (e) Construct the V-curve if the generator is delivering 40MW varying field excitation from 0.4 pf leading to 0.4 pf laging Assume the open-circuit characteristic in the operating region is given by E=3464.1Tf
