A synchronous generator has been synchronized to an infinite grid of 13.8 kV and 60 Hz. The generator prime mover C/C is such that the no-load frequency is 62.5 Hz and the power slope is 1 MW/Hz. The AVR C/C (The reactive power against the terminal voltage C/C) is such that the zero reactive power voltage is 14.6 kV, while the slope is 0.4 MVAR/kV. Calculate (a) the kVA loading of the generator and its power factor. (b) the settings of the prime mover and AVR such that the generator delivers 3 MW at 0.85 lagging power factor.
