4-10. Three physically identical synchronous generators are operating in parallel. They are all rated for a full load of 100 MW at 0.8 PF lagging. The no-load frequency of generator A is 61 Hz, and its speed droop is 3 percent. The no-load frequency of generator B is 61.5 Hz, and its speed droop is 3.4 percent. The no-load frequency of generator C is 60.5 Hz, and its speed droop is 2.6 percent.
(a) If a total load consisting of 230 MW is being supplied by this power system, what will the system frequency be and how will the power be shared among the three generators?
(b) Create a plot showing the power supplied by each generator as a function of the total power supplied to all loads (you may use MATLAB to create this plot). At what load does one of the generators exceed its ratings? Which generator exceeds its ratings first?
(c) Is this power sharing in (a) acceptable? Why or why not?
(d) What actions could an operator take to improve the real power sharing among these generators?
