Q1) [CLO 3]

(a) A generator operating at 60Hz delivers 1 p.u. power to an infinite busbar through a network
in which resistance may be neglected. A fault occurs which reduces the maximum
power transferable to 0.3 p.u., whereas before the fault this power was 1.7 p.u. and after
the clearance of the fault it is 1.2 p.u. By the use of the equal-area criterion, determine the
critical clearing angle. (5)

(b) In the system described in part (a), the inertia constant of the generator plus turbine
is 2.6 p.u. Obtain the swing curve for a fault clearance time of 150 ms. (10)

Q2) [CLO 3]

(a) A 60 Hz turbo generator is rated 500 MVA, 22 Kv. It is Y-connected and solidly grounded and
is operating at rated voltage at no load. It is disconnected from the rest of the system. Its
reactances are and per unit. Determine the ohms of the inductive
reactance to be inserted in the neutral connection of the generator to limit the subtransient
line current for a single line to ground fault to that for a three phase fault? (6)

(b) A 30000 kVA, 13.8 kV generator with is connected to a bus which supplies two
identical motors as shown in the Figure 2.The subtransient reactance of each motor is 25 %
on a base of 6000 kVA, 7 kV. The bus voltage at the motors is 7 kV when a three phase fault
occurs at the point P. For the fault specified, determine (a) the subtransient current in the fault
(b) the subtransient current in breaker A and (c) the symmetrical short circuit interrupting
current in the fault and in breaker A.

Q3) [CLO 2]

Figure 1 shows the one line diagram of a simple three bus power system with generation at
buses 1 and 2. The voltage at bus 1 is V= per unit. Voltage magnitude at bus-2 is fixed
at 1.05 pu with a real power generation of 300 MW. A load consisting of 300 MW and 200
MVAR is taken from bus 3.Line admittances are marked in per unit on a 100 MVA base. Neglect
line resistances and line charging suspectances (15)

Q4) [CLO 3]:

(a) An alternator and a synchronous motor each rated for 60 MVA, 13.8 kV having subtransient
reactance of 25% are connected through a transmission link of reactances 12% on the base of
machine ratings. The motor acts as a load of 40 MW at 0.8 pf. lead and terminal voltage of
13 kV when a 3 phase fault takes place at the motor terminals. Determine the subtansient
current in the alternator, motor and the fault. (8)
