Consider the generator data of Example 6.1. Calculate the direct and quadrature axis components of the currents and voltages and machine voltage E when the generator is delivering its full-load rated current at its rated voltage. Also calculate all the angles shown in the phasor diagram, Figure 6.12a. If this generator is connected to an infinite bus through an impedance of 0.01 + j0.1 per unit (100 MVA base), what is the voltage of the infinite bus?

The generator operates at a power factor of 0.85 at its rated voltage of 1.0 per unit. Therefore, \phi = 31.8°. The generator full-load current is 4183.8 A = 1.0 per unit. The terminal voltage vector can be drawn to scale, the Ir drop ( = 0.0012 per unit) is added, and the vector IX_{q} = 1.8 per unit is drawn to locate the q axis. Current I can be resolved into direct axis and quadrature axis components, and the phasor diagram is completed as shown in Figure 6.12b and the values of V_{d}, I_{d}, V_{q}, I_{q}, and E are read from it. The analytical solution is as follows:
The load current is resolved into active and reactive components I_{r} = 0.85 per unit and I_{x} = 0.527 per unit, respectively. Then, from the geometric construction shown in Figure 6.13:
(δ – β) = \tan^{-1} (\frac{X_{q}I_{r} \ + \ rI_{x}}{V_{a} \ + \ rI_{r} \ – \ X_{q}I_{x}})
= \tan^{-1}(\frac{(1.8)(0.85) \ + \ (0.0012)(0.527)}{1 \ + \ (0.0012)(0.85) \ + \ (1.8)(0.527)})  = 38.14°          (6.107)
From the above calculation, resistance can even be ignored without an appreciable error. Thus, (δ – β + \phi) = 69.93°; this is the angle of the current vector with the q axis. Therefore,
I_{q} = I_{a} \cos (δ – β – \phi) = 0.343 \ pu, \ i_{q} = 0.594 \ pu
I_{d} = -I_{a} \sin (δ – β – \phi) = -0.939 \ pu, \ i_{d} = -1.626 \ pu
V_{q} = V_{a} \cos (δ – β ) = 0.786 \ pu, \ v_{q} = 1.361 \ pu
V_{d} = -V_{a} \sin (δ – β ) = -0.618 \ pu, \ v_{d} = 1.070 \ pu
The machine generated voltage is
E = V_{q} + rI_{q} – X_{d}I_{d} = 2.66 \ pu
The infinite bus voltage is simply the machine terminal voltage less the IZ drop subtracted vectorially:
V_{\infty }= V_{a}∠0° – I_{a}∠31.8° Z∠84.3° = 0.94∠ – 4.8°
The infinite bus voltage lags the machine voltage by 4.8°. Practically, the infinite bus voltage will be held constant and the generator voltage changes, depending on the system impedance and generator output.
