Two generators are supplying a load. Both the generators have a no-load frequency of 61.5 Hz and the slope sp of 1 MW/HZ. If they are supplying a real load of 2.0 MW at 0.8 pf lagging, what would be the system frequency and power sharing between two generators? What measures can be taken to make the frequency 60 HZ. If an additional 1.0 MW load is connected to the existing one what would the system frequency be.

A single-phase, 120V(rms),60Hz source supplies power to a series R-L circuit consisting of R=10 and L=40mH. (a) Determine the power factor of the circuit and state whether it is lagging or leading. (b) Determine the real and reactive power absorbed by the load. (c) Calculate the peak magnetic energy Wint stored in the inductor by using the expression Wint=L(Irms)2 and check whether the reactive power Q=Wint is satisfied. (Note: The instantaneous magnetic energy storage fluctuates between zero and the peak energy. This energy must be sent twice each cycle to the load from the source by means of reactive power flows.)
