    Kinetic energy stored = GH,
    where G = rating in MVA and
    H = inertia constant
    ∴ Kinetic energy stored = 20 × 4 = 80 MJ

    Correct Option: C

    Kinetic energy stored = GH,
    where G = rating in MVA and
    H = inertia constant
    ∴ Kinetic energy stored = 20 × 4 = 80 MJ


  1. A power station consists of two sychronous generators A and B or ratings 250 MVA and 500 MVA with inertia 1.6 p.u. and 1 p.u.respectively on their own base MVA ratings. The equivalent p.u. inertia constant for the system on 100 MVA common base is ____________

  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

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

    Correct Option: B

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