5. a) Derive the model of a speed governing system and represent it by a block
diagram. [8]
b) A 80 MVA synchronous generator operates on full load at a frequency of 50Hz.
The load is suddenly reduced to 40 MW. Due to time lag in the governor system,
the steam valve begins to close after 0.3 secs. Determine the change in frequency
that occurs in this time. H=4 KW-s/KVAof generator capacity. [8]
6. a) What are the basic requirements needed for control strategy in LFC system. [8]
b) A single area consists of two generators with the following parameters:
Generator 1 = 1200 MVA; R=6 % (on machine base)
Generator 2 = 1000 MVA; R=4 % (on machine base)
The units are sharing 1800 MW at normal frequency 50 Hz. Unit supplies 1000
MW and unit 2 supplies 800 MW. The load now increased by 200 MW.
i) Find steady state frequency and generation of each unit if B=0.
ii) Find steady state frequency and generation of each unit if B=1.5. [8]
7. a) Briefly explain advantages and disadvantages of different types of compensating
equipment for transmission system. [8]
b) Describe the features of load compensator and its specifications. [8]
