Two single phase alternators operating in parallel have induced emf on open circuit of
230 ∠ 0 and 230 ∠ 10 volts and respective reactance of j12 ohms and j3 ohms. Calculate
(a) terminal voltage (b) current and (c) power delivered by each of the alternators to a
load of impedance 6 Ω (resistive).
2. Two 3-phase, 6.6 kV, wye connected alternators supply a load of 3000 kW at 0.8 lagging.
The synchronous impedance/ phase of machine A Is (0.5+ j10 ¿ Ω and of machine B is (
0.4 + j 12¿ Ω . The excitation of the machine A is adjusted so that it delivers 150 A at a
lagging pf and the governors are so set that the load is shared equally between the
machines. Determine the current pf and induced emf of each machine.
3. Two alternators A and B operate in parallel and supply a load of 10 MW at 0.8 p.f.
lagging (a) By adjusting steam supply of A, its power output is adjusted to 6,000 kW and
by changing its excitation, its p.f. is adjusted to 0.92 lag. Find the p.f. of alternator B. (b)
If steam supply of both machines is left unchanged, but excitation of B is reduced so that
its p.f. becomes 0.92 lead, find new p.f. of A.
4. Two 50-MVA, 3-φ alternators operate in parallel. The settings of the governors are such
that the rise in speed from full-load to no-load is 2 per cent in one machine and 3 per cent
in the other, the characteristics being straight lines in both cases. If each machine is fully
loaded when the total load is 100 MW, what would be the load on each machine when the
total load is 60 MW?
5. Two identical 2,000 -kVA alternators operate in parallel. The governor of the first ma-
chine is such that the frequency drops uniformly from 50-Hz on no-load to 48-Hz on full-
load. The corresponding uniform speed drop of the second machines is 50 to 47.5 Hz (a)
How will the two machines share a load of 3,000 kW? (b) What is the maximum load at
unity p.f. that can be delivered without overloading either machine?

6. Two 3-p synchronous mechanically-coupled generators operate in parallel on the same
load. Determine the kW output and p.f. of each machine under the following conditions:
synchronous impedance of each generator: 0.2 + j2 ohm/phase. Equivalent impedance of
the load: 3 + j4 ohm/phase. Induced e.m.f. per phase, 2000+ j0 volt for machine I and
2,2000 +j 100 for II.
