  1. The following data pertain to two alternators working in parallel and supplying a total load of 80 MW:
    Machine 1: 40 MVA with 5% speed regulation
    Machine 2: 60 MVA with 5% speed regulation
    The load sharing between machines 1 and 2 will be
    1. P1
      =
      P2
      48 MW48 MW
    2. 40 MW 40 MW
    3. 30 MW 50 MW
    4. 32 MW 48 MW
Correct Option: C

P1 + P2 = 80 MW
Now,

ƒrated +
(40 - P1) × 5
= ƒrated +
(60 - P2) × 5
100100

or 40 – P1 = 60 – P2
Giving P1 – P2 = – 20
Also P1 + P2 = 80
∴ P1 = 30 MW
and P2 = 50 MW
