1 This question is about generator capability charts.

Copy the operating


chart reproduced here from FIGURE 15 of lesson EPS-2-2. The values are in
per unit with a 600MVA base.
a) , determine the following performance limitations for a generator:
i) maximum real power
ii) maximum reactive power
(a) lagging
(b) leading
b) indicate with a cross where the power limit and the MVA limit coincide;
then by construction lines or otherwise calculate
i) the power factor
ii) the load angle
iii) the MVAr output

c) Where do the maximum heating for the rotor and stator coincide?
Determine
i) the p.u. excitation
ii) the MVA output.
