2. Two exactly similar turbo alternators are rated 20 MW each. They are operated in parallel. The characteristics are such that the frequency of one alternator from 60 Hz on no-load to 58 Hz on full load, and that of second alternator from 60 Hz at no-load to 58.5 Hz on full load. Determine the MW load on each alternator when they share a load of 28 MW. Also, determine the operating frequency. Answer: 12 MW, 16 MW, 58.8 Hz
