Generator under Load• The behavior of a synchronous
generator depends upon theconnected load
two basic load categorieso
isolated loadso infinite bus
isolated loads with a lagging pf o current lags the terminal voltage, E o the voltage drop across the
synchronous reactance, E X, leadsthe current by 90°
o the induced voltage, E 0, generated by the flux, Φ , is equal to the phasor sum of E and E X

Regulation Cur es• $oltage regulation is the behaviour of the generator-s terminal
voltage as the load varies• .egulation is a function of the load current
the regulation curve is a plot of the terminal voltage, V T, with respect toload current, I , ranging from no)load to full)load
o for a fixed field excitation currento for a given load power factor
family of curves are developed for various field excitation currents and
for different load power factors percent regulation is defined as/

Synchroni!ation o" aGenerator
• 1ften two or more generators are connected in parallel tosupply a common load in large utility systems
connecting a generator to other generators is called parallelingmany paralleled generators behaves li(e an infinite bus
o voltage and frequency are constant and can not be easily altered
before connecting a generator to an electrical grid, it must be synchronized
o the generator frequency is equal to the system frequencyo the generator voltage is equal to the system voltageo the generator voltage is in phase with the system voltageo the phase sequence of the generator is the same as that of the system
