Question 1: (2/10)
Figure below shows two generators supplying in parallel a load of 2.8 MW at 0.8 pf lagging:

(a) At what frequency is the system operating and what is the load supplied by each generator?
(b) If the load is now increased by 1 MW, what will be the new frequency and the load sharing?
(c) In part (b) which should be the set point of G2 for the system frequency to be 50 Hz? What
would be the load sharing now?

Question 2: (1.5/10)
A 200 kV A, 3.3 kV, 50 Hz three-phase synchronous generator is star-connected. The effective
armature resistance is 5 Ω /phase and the synchronous reactance is 29.2 Ω /phase. At full-load
calculate the voltage regulation for the following power factors:
(a) 0.707 leading (b) unity (c) 0.707 lagging

Question 3: (1.5/10)
A 6-pole, 3-phase, 50 Hz synchronous motor is supplied from 6.6 kV busbars. Its open circuit
voltage is 3.3 kV/phase. The per phase resistance and synchronous reactance are
0.6 W and 4.8 W respectively. Calculate the current, power factor and torque developed,
when the excitation emf lags the busbar voltage by 15°, 25°, and 35° (elect)

Question 4: (2.5/10)
A 200 V shunt motor has Ra = 0, 1 Ω, Rf =240 Ω and rotational loss 236 W. On fullload, the
line current is 9.8 A with the motor running at 1450 rpm.
Determine:
(a) the mechanical power developed
(b) the power output
(c) the load torque
(d) the full-load efficiency.

Question 5: (2.5/10)
A reparality excited dc generator has OCC data at 1200 rmp as below.

At If = 6 A when loaded at Ia = 50 A, it has a terminal voltage of 230 V at speed of 1200 rpm.

Given: Ra = 0.5 Ω.
(a) Determine the armature voltage drop due to the demagnetizing effect of armature reaction

(b) Assuming that this voltage drop in proportional to the square of armature current, determine
the field current for a terminal voltage of 230 V at armature current of Ia = 40 A
(c) In part (a) determine the field current equivalent of demagnetization
