Solution

The correct option is A 4.95 pu
We know for coherently swinging generators,
$G_{e q} H_{e q} = G_{1} H_{1} + G_{2} H_{2}$
$= 300 \times 1.8 + 450 \times 1$

Also given $G_{e q} =$ common MVA = 200 MVA
$∴ H_{e q} = \frac{300 \times 1.8 + 450 \times 1}{200} = 4.95 p u$

Q. In a system, there are two generators operating in parallel. One generator, of rating 250 MVA, has an inertia constant of 6 MJ/MVA while the other generator of 150 MVA has an inertia constant of 4 MJ/MVA. The inertia constant for the combined system on 100 MVA common base is MJ/MVA.

Q. Statement:
A generator feeds power to an infinite bus through a double circuit transmission line. A 3-phase fault occurs at the middle point of one of the lines. The infinite bus voltage is 1 pu, the transient internal voltage of the generator is 1.1 pu and the equivalent transfer admittance during fault is 0.8 pu.
