1. A 50 Hz transmission line 500Km long with constants given below ties upto 2
large power areas
R = 0.11ohm/km; L = 1.45mH/Km; C = 0.009uF/Km; G=0
Find the steady state stability limit if |Vs| = |Vr| = 200KV(constant).
What will be the steady state stability limit if line capacitance is also neglected?
What will be the steady state stability limit if line resistance is also neglected?
Comment on the results. [140.1MW,130.63MW, 175.67MW]
2. A power deficient area receives 50MW over a tie line from another area. The
maximum steady state capacity of the line is 100MW. Find the allowable sudden
load that can be switched on without loss of stability. [72.54MW]
3. A synchronous motor is drawing 30% of the maximum steady state power from
an infinite bus bar. If the load on the motor is suddenly increased by 100%, would
the synchronism be lost? If not, what is the maximum excursion of torque angle
about the new steady state rotor position? [580]
4. The transfer reactances between a generator and an infinite bus bar operating at
200KV under various conditions on the interconnector are:
Prefault: 150ohm per phase
During Fault: 400ohm/phase
Post Fault: 200ohm/phase
If the fault is cleared when the rotor has advanced 600 electrical from its prefault
position, determine the maximum load that could be transferred without loss of
stability. [127.3MW]
5. A synchronous generator is feeding 250MW to a large 50Hz n/w over a double
circuit transmission line. The maximum steady state power that can be transmitted
over the line with both circuits in operation is 500MW and is 300MW with any
one of the circuits.
A solid 3 phase fault occurring at the n/w end of one of the lines causes it to trip.
Estimate the critical clearing angle in which the circuit breakers must trip so the
synchronism is not lost.
What further information is needed to estimate the critical clearing time?
[530, M is required to find tc]
6. A synchronous generator represented by a voltage source of 1.05pu in series with
a transient reactance of j0.15 pu and an inertia constant H = 0.5sec, is connected
to an infinite inertia system through a transmission line. The line has a series
reactance of j0.30pu, while the infinite inertia system is represented by a voltage
source of 1.0pu in series with a transient reactance of j0.20pu.
The generator is transmitting an active power of 1.0pu when a 3 phase fault
occurs at its terminals. If the fault is cleared in 100msec, determine if the system
will remain stable by calculating the swing curve. [Stable]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/unitv-100501092926-phpapp02/75/Unit-v-1-2048.jpg)
![7. A synchronous generator represented by a voltage source of 1.15pu in series with
a transient reactance is connected to a large power system with voltage 1.0pu
through a power n/w. The equivalent transient transfer reactance X between
voltage sources is j0.50pu.
After the occurrence of a 3 phase to ground fault on one of the lines of the power
n/w, 2 of the line circuit breakers A and B operate sequentially as follows with
corresponding transient transfer reactance given therein.
• Short circuit occurs at delta= 300, A opens instantaneously to make X =
3.0pu.
• At delta= 600, A recloses, X = 6.0pu.
• At delta= 750, A reopens.
• At delta= 900, B also opens to clear the fault making X = 0.60pu.
Check if the system will operate with stability. [Unstable]
8. A 50 Hz synchronous generator with inertia constant H = 2.5 msec and a
transient reactance of 0.2pu feeds 0.80pu active power into an infinite bus(voltage
1pu) at 0.8 lagging pf via a n/w with an equivalent reactance of 0.25pu.
A 3 phase fault is sustained for 150msec across generator terminals. Determine
through swing curve calculation the torque angle, 250msec, after fault initiation.
[63.360]
9. A 50Hz, 500MVA, 400KV generator(with transformer) is connected to a 400KV
infinite bus bar through an interconnector. The generator has H = 2.5 MJ/MVA,
voltage behind transient reactance of 450KV and is loaded 450MW. The transfer
reactances between generator and bus bar under various conditions are:
Prefault: 0.5pu
During Fault: 1.0pu
Post Fault: 0.75pu
Calculate the swing curve using intervals of 0.05 sec and assuming that the fault
is cleared at 0.15sec. [Stable]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/unitv-100501092926-phpapp02/75/Unit-v-2-2048.jpg)

This document contains 9 questions regarding synchronous generator and power system stability analysis. Some key details include: 1. Calculating the steady state stability limits of a 500km transmission line under different conditions, such as including or neglecting line capacitance and resistance. The limits ranged from 130-175MW. 2. Finding the allowable sudden load increase for a power deficient area receiving 50MW over a 100MW capacity tie line, which is 72.54MW. 3. Determining if synchronism would be lost if the load on a motor drawing 30% of max power suddenly increased 100%, and if not, calculating the max torque angle excursion, which is 580.
