Q3.

A power generating plant consists of two multiple-valve generating units with maximum possible loading for each one of 300 MW and 500 MW. The plant is connected to the grid network and supplies a total power of 700 MW.

(a) The governor droop characteristics (no-load to full-load percentage speed drop) for the two generating units are 2% and 3%, respectively. The generators operate at 50 Hz at full-load. Assuming a free governor action, sketch the droop characteristics for the two units and calculate the power supplied by each unit and the operating frequency (in Hz) of the plant.

(b) The fuel cost functions (F1 and F2 ) expressed in £/hour for the two generating units are given as:

F1 = 0.045P12 + 12P1 + 375

F2 = 0.04P22 + 12P2 + 450

Q4.

A 3-phase, 178 MVA, 18 kV, Y-connected synchronous turbo-generator has a synchronous reactance X S = 1.46 ? and a 0.8 power factor lagging under rated operating conditions. A steam turbine driving the generator can deliver a maximum power of 180 MW. The machine is highly efficient so that it can be assumed ideal for convenience of analysis.

(a) By means of the approximate equivalent circuit or the corresponding phasor diagram, show that the generator rotor limit in terms of the 3- phase powers and line-to-line voltages using standard notation can be expressed as:

P2 + (Q + V2/Xs)2 = (V.Emax/Xs)2 = P2max

Explain the meaning of the generator static stability limit (Pmax ) formulated above.

(b) Sketch the capability curve of the generator in a (P, Q) plane clearly indicating the portions of the specific circular operating limits it is made of, and providing the relevant details on the respective centres/radii as well as the associated cross-over points.

(c) Determine the maximum reactive power (Q) the machine can exchange with the grid when (1) over-excited and (2) under-excited. What is the reference (positive) Q flow in each case?

(d) Calculate the rms values of the induced voltage and stator current for the machine ‘natural' excitation mode in part (c).

Q5.

A 3-phase short transmission line supplies a Y-connected inductive industrial load of 500 kW at V R = 3.3 kV (rms) and 0.8 power factor. The line resistance is R = 2.5 ? and a reactance is X = 4.33 ? per phase.

(a) Calculate the voltage regulation and transmission efficiency of the line.

(b) If a 3-phase, Y-connected synchronous motor was used as a synchronous condenser, what motor current would be required to achieve the unity power factor at the receiving (load) end? Comment on the implications of such or similar Q compensation method on efficiency of transmission.

(c) Using a simplified algebraic expression for the voltage drop across the line:

ΔV = VS - VR ≈ (RP + XQ)/VR ....

where P,Q are the real and reactive power demands of the load, find the sending-end (V S ) voltage before and after Q compensation. From the results obtained, draw suitable conclusions about the Q compensation effects on V.

Q6.

A turbo-generator delivers rated power to an infinite bus-bar through a mostly reactive network of negligible resistance. A balanced fault occurs in the system resulting in the temporary loss of the entire generated power. Before the fault inception the maximum power transferable to the load was 1.8 p.u., and after the fault clearance it dropped to 1.3 p.u. The generator losses can be ignored.

(a) Sketch the power curves for the pre-fault, fault and post-fault periods, and calculate the steady-state load angles of the generator before and after the fault.

(b) Making use of the equal-area criterion, estimate the critical clearing angle.

Why is this angle, and the corresponding critical clearing time, important for transient stability of a power system?
