Questions and Answers

What is the consequence of loss of synchronism in a power system?

  • Increased power transfer between machines
  • No net power transfer between machines (correct)
  • Improved stability of the system
  • Reduced mechanical torque on the generators

What is required for interconnected generators to remain in synchronism?

  • Exact same rotor speeds (correct)
  • Fluctuating voltage angles
  • Varying voltage magnitudes
  • Different rotor speeds

When is a power system transiently unstable?

  • When all generators are operating at maximum capacity
  • Following a disturbance where generators lose synchronism (correct)
  • During normal operation
  • During the steady-state condition

Flashcards

Loss of Synchronism Consequence

Generators are no longer synchronized, resulting in no net power transfer between machines.

Synchronism Requirement

Generators must maintain the exact same rotor speeds to stay in synchronism.

Transient Instability

A power system is transiently unstable when generators lose synchronism after a disturbance.

Classical Generator Model

The classical generator model simplifies the generator as a voltage source with a fixed magnitude.
