(a) Using trigonometry PA/∆f = 50/2 and PB/∆f = 100/2. Therefore PA/PB = 1/2, but as
PA + PB = 100 MW, then PA = 33.3 MW and PB = 66.6 MW In this case the demand is
shared in proportion to the generator ratings
(b) To determine the system frequency, from PA/∆f = 50/2 ∆f = 33.3 × 2/50 = 1.33 and
hence the frequency at which line cc intercepts the f axis is f = (52 − 1.33) = 50.67 Hz
(c) Suppose that generator A is more modern and therefore more efficient in terms of fuel
used per generated kW h. The set point adjustment of the governors could be used to
arrive at a new more economic load-sharing condition that maximizes the contribution
from generator A.
One way to implement this is to shift the set point of generator B so that its characteristic
is displaced from bb to BB, with the result that each generator is supplying 50 MW. The
system frequency is now 50 Hz and the new set point of generator B can be found from
δf/50 = 2/100. Hence δf = 1 and the new set point is 51 Hz
