Question: A 1 4 - pole, Y - connected, three - phase generator driven by a hydraulic turbine has the following ratings: 1 5 0 MVA,

A 14-pole, Y-connected, three-phase generator driven by a hydraulic turbine has the following ratings: 150 MVA, 13.8 kV,0.8 lagging power factor, and 60 Hz. Its direct axis reactance is 0.62 p.0 and its quadrature axis reactance is 0.40 p.0. All rotational losses can be neglected.
a) What internal voltage does this generator require to operate under nominal conditions?
b) At what angle delta will the generator reach its maximum power?
c) How does the maximum power obtained from this generator compare to the maximum power it would provide if it had a cylindrical rotor? Determine the percentage.
NOTE: Work in p.u.
