Question: A 3 3 k V , 5 0 MVA three - phase network synchronous generator is operating at 9 0 % of its rated current

A 33kV,50 MVA three-phase network synchronous generator is operating at 90% of its rated current value with a power factor of 0.9 lagging. The synchronous reactance xs of the machine is 13.
Draw the phasor diagram of the generator and use it to determine the level of excitation needed to achieve this operating point. What are the corresponding values of (i) the generator load angle, (ii) the power injected into the network by the generator, and (iii) the reactive power injected into the network by the generator?
Maintaining the same level of excitation, the power flowing through the machine is now reduced by 50%.
What is the new value of the stator current and what is the corresponding operating power factor of the generator?
A 3 3 k V , 5 0 MVA three - phase network
