b) An Electrical Power Generation Company has engaged you as their consultant for you to advise them on their Synchronous generators. During a peaking load situation which occurred between 5pm to 8pm, the generators experienced transient stability challenges that lead even to some of the generators shutting down. You have been called upon to provide five (5) engineering answers that would cause the problems
Synchronous Generator
In comparison to an asynchronous generator, it is a machine where the rotor speed is equal to the rotating magnetic field produced by the stator, i.e., mechanical speed is equal to the electrical speed, thus called synchronous, and not asynchronous.
Salient Pole Rotor
Salient pole rotor includes a large number of exposed poles mounted on a magnetic wheel. The construction of a bright pole is as shown in the image on the left. The proposed poles are made of metal laminations. The rotor winding is provided on these poles and is supported by pole shoes.
