The capability curve of synchronous generator defines the bounds within which it can operate safely.
Various bounds imposed on the machine are ------
1 MVA loading can not exceed the Generator rating. This limit is imposed by stator heating.
2 MW loading can not exceed the Turbine rating which is given by MVA (rating) x P.F (rating).
3 Generator must operate a safe margin away from steady state limit (δ = 900 ). This is the
Maximum allowable value of δ.
4 The maximum field current cannot exceed a specified value imposed by the
rotor heating.
The permissible reactive loading of 210 MW generator should be within -80 MVar
to 170 MVar.
Limiters
1. Rotor current limiter
2. Stator current limiter
3. Load angle limiter
Maximum operating temp for diff classes of insulation for generators running
continuously.
