Tutorial-2: Load Frequency Control

1. Two alternators of ratings 500 MW and 200 MW are feeding a system. The frequency is
50 Hz and each alternator is operating at half load. The system load increases by 140
MW and as a result of it the frequency drops to 49.5 Hz. What should be the value of
regulation constants in Hz/MW for each unit if it is desired that the two alternators should
share the load in proportion to their ratings?
(Ans: 0.005 Hz/ MW and 0.0125 Hz/MW)
2. The speed of 100 MW alternator drops by 4% from no-load to full load.
a) Find the regulation R in Hz per MW and Hz per unit MW of alternator.
b) If frequency drops by 0.1 Hz, find the change in power output.
(Ans: 0.02 Hz/ MW, 2 Hz/ pu MW and 5 MW)
3. Two alternators of ratings 300 MW and 400 MW are operating in parallel. The droop
characteristics of their governors are 4% and 5% respectively from no load to full load.
Assuming `that they are operating at 50 Hz at no load, how would they share a load of
600 MW and what will be the frequency at this load.
(Ans: 48.06 Hz)
4. Two alternators of ratings 300 MW and 400 MW are operating in parallel. The droop
characteristics of their governors are 4% and 6% respectively from no load to full load.
The speed changes are set so that a load of 400 MW is shared among the generators at 50
Hz in the ratio of their ratings. What are the no load frequencies of the generators?
(Ans: 51.17 Hz and 51.74 Hz)
5. Two identical 2 MVA alternators operate in parallel. The governor of first machine is
such that the frequency drops uniformly from 50 Hz on no-load to 47.5 Hz on full-load.
The corresponding uniform speed drop of the second machine is 50 Hz to 48 Hz. How
will they share a load of 3 MW?
(Ans: 1.333 MW, 1.667 MW)
6. The following two synchronous machines are operating in parallel
Machine A: 50 MW, 6% speed regulation
Machine B: 50 MW, 3% speed regulation
i.
Determine the load taken by each machine for a total load of 80 MW when the
speed changes are set to give rated speed at 100% rated output.
(Ans: 43.333 MW, 36.667 MW)
ii.
The speed changer of machine A is so adjusted that 80 MW is equally shared.
Find the output of machine A for the rated speed and also its percentage speed at
no-load.
(Ans: 45 MW, 105.4%)

7. Two synchronous generators are supplying a common load. Generator 1 has no-load
frequency of 51.5 Hz and regulation of 1 MW/Hz. Generator 2 has no-load frequency of
51 Hz and regulation of 1 MW/Hz. The total load is 2.5 MW at 0.8 lagging.
i.
At what frequency, are the generators supplying this load and how much power is
supplied by each generator?
(Ans: 1.5 MW, 1.0 MW)
ii.
An additional load of 1 MW is attached to this system. What will be the new
frequency?
(Ans: 49.5 Hz)
iii.
How much is governor set point (frequency in Hz) of generator 2 to be adjusted to
bring the system frequency at 50 Hz for 3.5 MW system load?
(Ans: 52 Hz)
8. Two power plants A and B are interconnected by a lossless line. Capacity of A is 200
MW and that of B is 100 MW. Their speed regulations from no load to full load are 1.5%
and 3% respectively. The load on bus of each station is 100 MW. Find the generation at
each plant and transfer of power through line.

(Ans: 160 MW, 40 MW, 60 MW)

9. Two 50 Hz power plants A and B are interconnected by a lossless line. Capacity of A is


15 MW and that of B is 4 MW. Their speed regulations from no load to full load are 3%
and 4% respectively. The load on busbar of plant B is 4 MW and that on A is 10 MW.
Find generated output of each station, power transmitted by interconnecting line and
operating frequency. Assume free governor action and no load frequency of 50 Hz at
both stations.

(Ans: 11.67 MW, 2.33 MW, 1.67 MW and 48.833 Hz)
