Two alternators rated 400 MW and 600 MW are operating in parallel. The droop characteristics of their governors are 3% and 4% respectively from no load to full load. Assuming that the alternators are operating at 50 Hz at no load, how would a load of 1000 MW be shared between them? What will be the system frequency at this load? [Ans. G1 = 468.132 MW, G2 = 531.669 MW, f= 48.296 Hz]
