A synchronous generator is operating with a Ef=1.40pu. This machine having Xs of 1.2pu, is delivering a synchronous power of 0.5pu to the bus. If the prime-mover torque is increased by 1%, by how much will the synchronous power P change?
(a) 1%
(b) 10%
(c) -1%
(d) 4%
The question was posed to me in an online interview.
Question is from Power Angle Characteristics of Synchronous Machines topic in division Synchronous Machines of Electrical Machines
