Synchronous Generator - Capability Curves

The document discusses synchronous generator capability curves, which show the maximum active and reactive power loadings that can be supplied without exceeding ratings due to armature or field heating. The curves establish the rated operating conditions based on the power factor, which is controlled by dragging point R. Point A shows the effects of machine reactance, while stability is reached when the power angle δ equals 90 degrees.

The capability curves of a synchronous generator operating at rated voltage


give the maximum active- and reactive-power loadings that can be suplied
without exceeding the KVA rating (armature heating limit) or the field heating
limit. Dragging point R which establishes the rated operating conditions
changes the power factor. The slider KVA controls the rating. Dragging point A
shows the effects of machine reactance. The stabilty limit is reached when =
90.
