  1. A power system has two synchronous generators. The governor-turbine characteristics orresponding to the generators are
    P1 = 50(50 – ƒ), P2 = 100(51 – ƒ). where f denotes the system frequency in Hz and P1 and P2 are respectively, the power outputs (in MW) of turbines 1 and 2. Assuming the generat or s and transmission network to be lossless, the system frequency for a total load of 400 MW is __________ Hz
    1. 0.48 Hz.
    2. 48 Hz.
    3. 4.08 Hz.
    4. 4.8 Hz.
Correct Option: B

P1 + P2 = 400
or 50 (50 – ƒ) + 100 (51 – ƒ) = 400
or 50 + 102 – 8 = 3ƒ
or ƒ = 48 Hz.
