EE-2401 POWER SYSTEM OPERATION AND CONTROL
UNIT II
REAL POWER -FREQUENCY CONTROL
TWO MARKS
1. What is the major control loops used in large generators?
The major control loops used in large generators are
Automatic voltage regulator (AVR)
Automatic load frequency control (ALFC).
2. What is the use of secondary loop?
Secondary loop is used to maintain the fine adjustment of the frequency, and also by
reset action maintains proper MW interchange with other pool members. This loop is insensitive
to rapid load and frequency changes but focuses instead on drift like changes which take place
over periods of minutes.
3. What is the advantage of AVR loop over ALFC?
The advantage of AVR loop over ALFC is very fast and therefore there is a tendency for
the AVR dynamics to settle down before they can make themselves felt in the slower load
frequency control channel.
4. What is the exciter?
The exciter is the main component in AVR loop. It delivers the DC power to the
generator field. It must have adequate power capacity and sufficient speed of response (rise
time less than 0.1 sec).
5. Specify the disadvantage of ALFC loop.
The disadvantage of ALFC loop is that it will control only during normal changes in load
and frequency. It is unable to provide adequate control during emergency situations, when large
MW imbalances occur.

6. What is the function of AVR?
The function of the AVR is to provide constancy of the generator terminal voltage
during normal, small and slow changes in the load.
7. Explain about static AVR loop.
In a static AVR loop, the execution power is obtained directly from the generator
terminals or from the station service bus. The AC power is rectified by thyristor bridges and fed
into the main generator field via slip rings. Static exciters are very fast and contribute to
improved transient stability.
8. Write the static performance of AVR loop.[AUC APR/MAY 2011]
Static performance of AVR loop is to regulate the terminal |V| to within required static
accuracy limit, have sufficient speed of response and be stable.
9. What is the disadvantage of high loop gain? How it is to be eliminated?
The disadvantage of high loop gain is that it causes undesirable dynamic response,
possibly instability. By adding series AND/OR feedback stability compensation to the AVR loop,
this conflicting situation can be resolved.
10. What are the effects of generator loading in AVR loop?
Effects of generator loading in AVR loop is given below. Added load does not change
the basic features of the AVR loop; it will however affect the values of both gain factor Kf and
the field constant. High loading will make the generator work at higher magnetic saturation
levels. This means smaller changes in |E| for incremental increases in if, translating into the
reduction of KF. The field time constant will likewise decrease as generator loading closing the
armature current paths. This circumstance permits the formation of transient stator currents the
existence of which yields a lower effective field induction.
11. What are the functions of ALFC? [AUC NOV/DEC 2013]
Function of ALFC’s is to maintain desired MW output of a generator unit and assist in
controlling the frequency of large interconnection. The ALFC also helps to keep the net
interchange of power between pool members at predetermined values. Control should be
applied in such a fashion that highly differing response characteristics of units of various types
are recognized. Also unnecessary power output changes should be kept at a minimum in order
to reduce wear of control valves.
12. How is the real power in a power system controlled? [AUC APRIL/MAY 2011]
The real power in a power system is being controlled by controlling the driving torque of
the individual turbines of the system.
13. What is the need for large mechanical forces in speed-governing system?
J.MONISHA, AP/EEE MAHALAKSHMI ENGINEERING COLLEGE TRICHY- 621213 Page 3
Very large mechanical forces are needed to position the main valve against the high
stream pressure and these forces are obtained via several stages of hydraulic amplifiers.
14. What are the inputs of governor?
The governor has two inputs. They are,
a. Changes ∆pref in the reference power setting.
b. Change ∆f in the sped of frequency of the generator, as measured by ∆xB.
15. What is the control area?
It is possible to divide an extended power system into sub-areas in which the generators
are tightly coupled together so as to form a coherent group (i.e) all the generators respond in
unison to changes in load or speed changer settings. Such a coherent area is called a control
area in which the frequency is assumed to be the same throughout in static as well as dynamic
conditions.
16. What is selective frequency control?
The common method of operating a large interconnected system assigns frequency
control to a central system, the other systems then controlled on the basis of automatic control
are used in three different ways. One of these is known as selected frequency control.
17. What are the parts of speed governing system?
The parts of speed governing system are,
a. Speed governor
b. Linkage mechanism
c. Hydraulic amplifier
d. Speed changer
18. Write about speed governor and speed changer. [AUC APRIL/MAY 2011] [AUC
NOV/DEC 2008]
Speed governor is a fly-ball type of speed governor and constitutes the heart of the system as it
senses the change in speed or frequency with the increase in speed the fly-ball move outwards
and the linkage mechanism move downwards.
19. Write about hydraulic amplifier.
Hydraulic amplifier consists of a main piston and pilot valve. Low power level pilot valve
movement is converted into high power level piston valve movement which is necessary to open
or close the steam valve against high pressure steam.

20. Define inertia constant
Inertia constant, H is defined as the ratio of kinetic energy stored in the rotar to the MVA
rating of the generator.
H = wK.E / Pr
H- Inertia constant
wK.E - Kinectic energy
Pr - Rated MVA of the generator
21. How the single area controlled system is protected?
The single area controlled system is protected by the following three ways,
a. ‘Borrowed’ kinetic energy from the rotating machines of the system.
b. ‘Released’ customer load.
c. Increased generation.
22. What is damping factor?
Damping factor is known as frequency co-efficient of load and characterizes the
frequency characteristic of the load. It is usually expressed in percent of connected load per 0.1
Hz and the typical values lie between 0.3 to 0.5% per 0.1 Hz. It is denoted as D = dPD . The
unit is MW per Hz.
23. How is the real power in a power system controlled?
The real power in a power is being controlled by controlling the drinking torques of
the individual turbines of the system.
24. What is the need for very large mechanical forces in speed – governing system?
Very large mechanical forces are needed to position the main value (or gate) against,
the high steam (or water) pressure, and these forces are obtained via several stages of
hydraulic amplifiers.
25. Write the tie-line power deviation equation in terms of frequency
∆Ptie ,1 = 2П T12 [ ʃ∆f1 dt - ʃ∆f2 dt ]
26. Define per unit droop
The per unit droop or speed regulation R of the generating unit is defined as the
magnitude of the change in steady state speed, expressed in p.u of rated speed, when the
output of the unit gradually reduced from 1.0 p.u rated power to zero.
P.u regulation, Rp.u = (f2− f1 )/fr
P GRP r
p.u

Where, f2 = frequency at no-load,Hz
f1 = frequency at rated megawatt output, PGR
27.What is Area control error(ACE)? [AUC NOV/DEC 2007]
ACE is the change in frequency which when used in integral control loop forced the
steady state frequency error to zero.
ACE = ∆𝑃𝑡𝑖𝑒 + b.∆f p.u MW (for multi area system)
ACE = ∆f (for single area system)
Where, b= Area frequency bias
∆𝑃𝑡𝑖𝑒 = Change in tie − line power
∆f = change in frequency
28. Give the conditions for proper synchronizing of alternator? [AUC NOV/DEC 2012]
[AUC NOV/DEC 2013]
The conditions for proper synchronizing are:
The terminal voltage of the incoming machine must be exactly equal to that of the others
or of the bus bars connecting them.
The speed of the incoming machine must be such that its frequency equals to the bus
bar frequency
29. What are the types of automatic load frequency control for interconnected power
system? [AUC NOV/DEC 2012]
Flat frequency control
Flat Tie-line control
Fequency bias tie-line control
