Question: Problem 1 Three generators are connected in parallel to supply a load. Identical Generators G 1 and G 2 : 4 8 0 - V

Problem 1 Three generators are connected in parallel to supply a load. Identical Generators G1 and G2: 480-V,200 KVA, 2-pole, 3-phase, 60-Hz synchronous generator whose prime mover has a no-load speed of 3690 RPM and a full-load speed of 3591 RPM. Generator G3: 480-V,150 KVA, 4-pole, 3-phase, 60-Hz synchronous generator whose prime mover has a no-load speed of 1830 RPM and a full-load speed of 1790 RPM.(a) Calculate the speed droops of generators G1, G2, and G3.(b) Find the no-load frequency of each generator. (c) Find the full-load frequency of each generator. Now Suppose the Slopes are: Sp1= Sp2=100 KW/Hz for Generators 1 and 2, and Sp3=92 KW/Hz for Generator 3. The no-load frequency for each generator is set to 61.2 Hz.(d) Find the operating-frequency of the power system for 405 KW load. (e) How will the three generators share the 405 KW load at this operating frequency? (f) What is the maximum KVA load, at PF =0.9 lagging, that can be delivered by the generators when each is operating at its rated conditions? Find the no-load frequency of each generator in this case if the system frequency is to be 59.5 Hz.
