ASSIGNMENT 2
1. An isolated power station has the following parameters
Turbine time constant τT = 0.6 sec
Governor time constant τG = 0.25 sec
Generator inertia constant H = 5 sec Governor
speed regulation R = 0.062 per unit
The load varies by 0.8 % for a 1 % change in frequency, i.e., D = 0.8. The turbine rated output is 260
MW at nominal frequency of 50Hz. A sudden load change of 50 MW (ΔΡL= 0.2 per unit) occurs.
i. Find the steady-state frequency deviation in Hz.
ii. Use MATLAB to obtain the time-domain performance specifications and the frequency
deviation step response.
Repeat for sudden load changes of 70 MW, 80MW and 100MW respectively. Brief your observation.
2. A single area consists of two generating units with the following characteristics:
Unit Rating MVA Speed Regulator R
1 650 6%
2 500 4%
The units are operating in parallel, sharing 770 MW at the nominal frequency. Unit 1 supplies 420
MW and unit 2 supplies 350 MW at 50 Hz. The load is increase by 100 MW.
i. Assume there is no frequency dependent load. Find the steady state frequency deviation and the
new generation on each unit.
ii. If the load varies 2 percent for every 1 percent change in frequency. Find the steady-state
frequency deviation and the new generation on each unit.
Use MATLAB to plot the per unit speed characteristics.
3. A two-area system connected by tie line has the following parameter on 1000MVA base.
Parameter Area 1 2
Speed regulation R1=0.0525 R2=0.0650
Frequency sensitive load coefficient D1=0.6 D2=0.9
Inertia constant H1=5 H2=4
Governor time constant τG1=0.2s τG2=0.3s
Turbine time constant τH1=0.5s τH2=0.6s
The units are operating in parallel at nominal frequency of 50Hz. The synchronizing power coefficient
is computed from the initial operating condition and is given to be Ρs = 2.0 p.u. A load change of
200MW occurs in Area 1.
i. Determine the new steady state frequency and the change in the tie line flow.
ii. Construct the SIMULINK block diagram and obtain the frequency deviation respond for the
above condition.
