Question: The following data are obtained from tests on a 145-MVA, 13.8-kV, three phase, 60-Hz, 72-pole hydroelectric generator. Open-circuit characteristic: Short-circuit test: If = 710 A,

The following data are obtained from tests on a 145-MVA, 13.8-kV, three phase, 60-Hz, 72-pole hydroelectric generator. Open-circuit characteristic: Short-circuit test: If = 710 A, Ia = 6070 A

a. Draw (or plot using MATLAB) the open-circuit saturation curve, the air-gap line, and the short-circuit characteristic.

b. Find AFNL and AFSC. (Note that if you use MATLAB for part (a), you can use the MATLAB function 'poly fit' to fit a second-order polynomial to the open-circuit saturation curve. You can then use this fit to find AFNL.)

c. Find (i) the short-circuit ratio, (ii) the unsaturated value of the synchronous reactance in ohms per phase and per unit and (iii) the saturated synchronous reactance in per unit and in ohms per phase.
