Complex Engineering Problem

Question
Synchronous generators are essential components of electric power systems. They are
present both in hydro and thermal power plants, performing the function of converting
mechanical energy into electrical energy. The basic diagram of synchronous generator is
shown in figure below.

Capability Curve of Generator defines the boundaries within which it can deliver reactive
power continuously without overheating. Generator rating is specified in terms of MVA or
KVA and power factor at a particular terminal voltage. Active power delivered by generator
is only limited by the power delivering capability of turbine. But the reactive power which a
generator can deliver continuously without over heating is governed by three limits: Armature
Current Limit, Field Current Limit and End Part Heating Limit.

Figure: Synchronous generator

A 500-V, 50-Hz, 𝑌-connected, six-pole synchronous generator is rated at 60+RN kVA at 0.85
PF lagging. It has a synchronous reactance of 1. RN Ω per phase. Assume that this generator

is connected to a steam turbine capable of supplying up to 50 kW. The friction and windage
losses are 2 kW and the core losses are 1. RN kW.

Answer the following questions

a. Design and sketch the capability curve for this generator, including the prime-mover
power limit. Mentioned the value of every parameter on the capability curve. Briefly
explain this capability curve of synchronous generator
b. Can this generator supply a line current of 45 A 0. RN PF lagging? Explain in detail
Why or why not? If this generator is not supplying a line current of 45 A then how can
be possible to supply 45 A current.
c. What is the maximum amount of reactive power this generator can produce? If the
generator supplies 20 kW of real power, what is the maximum amount of
reactive power that can be simultaneously supplied?
d. Based on the above information, write down the maximum limits of every parameter
of this generator. Explain in detail, If any value exceeds these limits then what will
happened to the synchronous generator

Note: RN means registration number. If your registration number is 18-EE-167. Then only
write 167
