Generator Capability Curve study
SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR CAPABILITY LIMITTsynchronous generator capability limiters are as follows 1.MVA or armature current limit of generator: this depends on the cooling system of generator so that temperature rise in generator is limited to safe value.depending on cooling system effectiveness and temperature limit for the insulation used in generator, MVA limit is decided.2.MW limit: this is determined by the power output capacity of prime mover to which generator is connected.3.rotor angle limit: this is related to stability of generator which is synchronised to the grid.ideally this could be 90 degree, but in practice this is limited to70 degree so as to have better stability margin in transient and dynamic condition.the generator falls out of synchronism in trasient condition if rotor angle is close to 90 degree.4. rotor current limit: the field winding placed on rotor has got limited current carrying capacity, beyond which it may burn .so this limit is used.all these limitters make capability curve of g generator within which the generators operates safelyr. k.niranjanemail id: rkniranjan@yahoo.com
Too much load for the generator, the generator began to under speed / overspeed, the governor / part of the generator went into failure, the generator capability was not up to the requirements placed by the system (needing to push out/pull in too many VARs), etc. there are many reasons for a generator to drop a load. Because a load dropped, this does not infer that the generator was the cause either (fault on the system, system instability limits reached, system protection tripped - non-generator related protection).
The plate should as a minimum show the working voltage, volt-amp capability and the rpm of the generator. Other optional information is the manufacturer and serial number.

The generator capability curve described the capability real and reactive power capability of a generator. Real power is plotted on the horizontal axis, while reactive power is plotted on the vertical axis. A reactive capability curve consists of three curved segments. One segment is the arc of a circle centered at the origin of the reactive capability curve. Because the radius of that circle is the apparent power, S (in MVA), it is based on the thermal heating limitations inherent in the stator winding and reflects the fact that the stator limitation is based on current alone. The second segment is an arc of a circle centered on the Q axis - the arc joins the positive Q axis with the constant MVA portion of the curve, and defines the upper boundary of reactive power OUT of the generator. It is the arc of a circle because it also reflects current-based heating; the critical difference is that the limitation described is that of the rotor winding. The third segment joins the negative Q axis (representing reactive power into the machine) with the constant MVA portion of the curve. This segment reflects end-ring heating while in underexcited operation. When you change the tap on the generator step up transformer, you will change the reactive output of the generator. Remember that reactive (VARS) always flow downhill in voltage - from higher voltage to lower voltage. So if you change the tap on the transformer to produce a lower open-circuit secondary voltage, the reactive output of the generator will increase. Conversely, if you change the tap to cause a higher open-circuit secondary voltage, the reactive output of the generator will decrease.
