The angle θ is<br />

|I| =<br />

P 25 × 103<br />

=<br />

|V | cos θ 277(0.85) = 106.2 A<br />

The phasor operating current is then<br />

θ =cos −1 (0.85) = +31.79 o<br />

The reactive power supplied per phase is<br />

I = |I|/ − θ = 106.2/ − 31.79 o =90.3 − j55.9 A<br />

Q = (277)(106.2) sin 31.79 o =15, 500 var/phase<br />

The generator is then supplying a total reactive power of 46.5 kvar to the grid in addition to the total<br />

real power of 75 kW.<br />

The voltage E is given by Kirchhoff’s voltage law.<br />

E = V + IZ s = 277/0 o + 106.2/ − 31.79 o (0.033 + j4.073)<br />

= 508 + j366 = 626/35.77 o V/phase<br />

Since the terminal voltage V has been taken as the reference (V = |V |/0 o ), the power angle is just the<br />

angle of E, or35.77 o . The total stator ohmic loss is<br />

P loss =3I 2 R s = 3(106.2) 2 (0.033) = 1.117 kW<br />

This is a small fraction of the total power being delivered to the utility, but still represents a significant<br />

amount of heat which must be transferred to the atmosphere by the generator cooling system.<br />

The pullout power, given by Eq. 33 with sin δ =1is<br />

P = |E||V | = 626(277) =42.6 kW/phase<br />

X s 4.073<br />

or a total of 128 kW for the total machine. As mentioned earlier, if the input shaft power would rise<br />

above the pullout power from a wind gust, the generator would lose synchronism with the power grid.<br />

In most systems, the pullout power will be at least twice the rated power of the generator to prevent<br />

this possibility. This larger pullout power represents a somewhat better safety margin than is available<br />

in the MOD-0 system.<br />

One advantage of the synchronous generator is its ability to supply either inductive or<br />

capacitive reactive power to a load. The generated voltage |E| is produced by a current<br />
