Question: Three generators are connected in parallel to a load. The generators have the following characteristics: Unit Rating R ( on its own base ) 1

Three generators are connected in parallel to a load. The generators have the following characteristics:
Unit
Rating
R (on its own base)
1
600 MVA
6%
2
500 MVA
4%
3
400 MVA
3%
The system is initially operating at 60 Hz in steady-state.
Assuming no sensitivity of the load to frequency changes, find the steady-state frequency of the system, if the load is increased by 100 MW. Under these conditions, what is the change in mechanical power of each generator?
Group of answer choices
dPM1=37.9070 MW, dPM2=24.8837 MW, dPM3=37.2093 MW
dPM1=27.9070 MW, dPM2=34.8837 MW, dPM3=37.2093 MW
dPM1=28.9070 MW, dPM2=33.8837 MW, dPM3=37.2093 MW
dPM1=27.9070 MW, dPM2=35.8837 MW, dPM3=36.2093 MW
