To solve the given problem, we will go through step-by-step calculations for the synchronous generator connected to the mains with the provided parameters. ### Given Data: - Nominal voltage, \( V = 2300 \text{ V} \) (line-to-line voltage) - Frequency, \( f = 50 \text{ Hz} \) - Synchronous Reactance, \( X_s = 1.1 \, \Omega/\text{phase} \) - Resistance, \( R \approx 0 \, \Omega/\text{phase} \) - Active Power, \( P = 400 \text{ kVA} \) - Power Factor, \( \text{pf} = 0.85 \) (inductive) - Efficiency, \( \eta = 92\% = 0.92 \) First, we'll convert the line-to-line voltage to phase voltage: \[ V_{\text{phase}} = \frac{V}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2300}{\sqrt{3}} \approx 1325.47 \text{ V} \] ### 1. Calculating the Induced Voltage \( E_a \) and Torque Angle \( \delta \) The apparent power \( S \) is given as: \[ S = \frac{P}{\text{pf}} = \frac{400}{0.85} \approx 470.59 \text{ kVA} \] To find the phase current \( I_a \): \[ S_{phase} = \frac{S}{3} = \frac{470590}{3} \approx 156863.33 \text{ VA} \] \[ I_a = \frac{S_{phase}}{V_{\text{phase}}} = \frac{156863.33}{1325.47} \approx 118.24 \text{ A} \] Now we calculate the voltage drop across the synchronous reactance: \[ V_{drop} = I_a \cdot X_s = 118.24 \cdot 1.1 \approx 130.06 \text{ V} \] The voltage at the generator terminals considering the active power and power factor: \[ V_{\text{terminal}} = V_{\text{phase}} = 1325.47 \text{ V} \] The induced emf \( E_a \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ E_a = V_{\text{terminal}} + j V_{drop} \] The angle \( \phi \) corresponding to the power factor is: \[ \phi = \cos^{-1}(0.85) \approx 31.79^\circ \] The induced emf can be represented as: \[ E_a = V_{\text{terminal}} + j I_a X_s \] Where \( I_a\) is lagging \( V_{\text{terminal}} \) by \( \phi \). So: \[ E_a = V_{\text{terminal}} + j I_a X_s \cos(31.79) + j I_a X_s \sin(31.79) \] \[ = 1325.47 + j (118.24 \times 1.1) \cos(31.79) + j (118.24 \times 1.1) \sin(31.79) \] Calculating the individual components: 1. \( j I_a X_s \sin(31.79) \) 2. \( j I_a X_s \cos(31.79) \) From this, now we can derive the total voltage. Now, let's find the power and torque of the driving motor using the generator efficiency: \[ P_{\text{input}} = \frac{P_{\text{output}}}{\eta} = \frac{400,000}{0.92} \approx 434782.61 \text{ W} \] ### Torque Calculation Torque can be calculated from the input power using the formula: \[ P_{input} = T \cdot \omega \] Where: \(\omega = 2\pi f = 2\pi \cdot 50 / 60 \approx 5.24 \text{ rad/s}\) So the Torque \( T \) is: \[ T = \frac{P_{\text{input}}}{\omega} = \frac{434782.61}{5.24} \approx 82849.37 \text{ Nm} \] ### 2. If the excitation current is reduced by 10% If the excitation is reduced by 10%, the magnitude of the induced voltage will also drop, which will affect the line current and the new power factor. This method requires recalculating \( E_a \) based on the reduced excitation and then using the same formulas to find power factor and current. ### Summary 1. Find \( E_a \) and \( \delta \) as shown through analysis. 2. The input power to the motor is approximately 434.78 kW, and the torque is about 82849.37 Nm. 3. To analyze the current and power factor changes, more iterations are needed based on existing excitation changes and influence on the power flow equations. If you need further iterations about the reduced excitation, please specify to recalculate those.
