ECE 580 Homework 5 (sample solution)

1. a.

H i =

i =1

The minimum system frequency at 2.75 seconds following a 422MW generation outage
is: 50-2.75*0.2222=49.39Hz
The pickup generation of a 200MW unit in order to bring the system frequency back to
200 * 422

the nominal frequency is: PM ,200 = (8332 422) =10.67 MW

The minimum system frequency at 2.75 seconds following a 422MW generation outage
is: 60-2.75*0.2975=49.18Hz
The pickup generation of a 200MW unit in order to bring the system frequency back to
200 * 422

the nominal frequency is: PM , 200 = (8332 422 2000) =14.28MW .
