- A Single Area consists of 3 generating units (G1/G2/G3) with the following characteristics: G1: 425 MVA rating, R1 = 0.015 pu (on the 425 MVA base), initial output P1 = 300 MW. G2: 300 MVA rating, R2 = 0.02 pu (on the 300 MVA base), initial output P2 = 200 MW. G3: 300 MVA rating, R3 = 0.03 pu (on the 300 MVA base), initial output P3 = 200 MW. The frequency of the system is 60 Hz. Assuming D = 0 pu and using a common base of 1000 MVA, what is the new steady-state frequency for a load increase of 100 MW? Select one: O a. None of these O b. 59.96 Hz O c. 58.75 Hz O d. 59.88 Hzarrow_forwardtwo generators supplying a load. Generator I has a no-load frequency of 62.5 Hz and a slope Sp1 of I MW/Hz. Generator 2 has a no-load frequency of 62.0 Hz and a slope sp2 of I MW/Hz. The two generators are supplying a real load totaling 2.5 MW at 0.8 PF lagging.
