  1. The combined frequency regulation of machines in area of capacity 1500 MW and operating at a normal frequency of 60 kHz is 0.1 puonits own base capacity. The regulation in Hz/ MW will be
    1. 0.1/1500
    2. 60/1500
    3. 6/1500
    4. 60/150
Correct Option: C

Area capacity = 1500 MW,
Nominal frequency = 60 Hz
Regulation = 0.1 pU = 10%.
This implies that when the load of 1500 MW is thrown off, then frequency rise

60 × 10
= 6 Hz.
100

∴ Regulation = 6/1500 Hz/MW
