4 a) A 50-Hz synchronous generator having inertia constant H= 5MJ/MVA and a direct CLO4
axis transient reactance 𝑋𝑑′ = 0.3 𝑝. 𝑢 is connected to an infinite bus through a
purely reactive circuit as shown in figure below. Reactances are marked on the
diagram on a common system base. The generator is delivering a real power 𝑃𝑒 =
0.9 𝑝. 𝑢 and Q=0.064 p.u to the infinite bus at a voltage of V= 1p.u
i) A temporary three-phase fault occurs at the sending end of the line at point F.

when the fault is cleared both lines are intact. Determine the critical clearing
angle and the critical fault clearing time
ii) A three-phase fault occurs at the middle of one of lines, the fault is cleared, the 4
faulted line is isolated. Determine the critical clearing angle.

b) A four-pole 50-Hz synchronous generator has a rating of 150MVA, 0.8 power factor
lagging. The moment of inertia of the generator is 45,000 kg.𝑚2 . Determine M and
