Aux 2 Unit 7 Quiz 2

Correct Answer:
C) The generator with the higher droop setting will naturally take on more of the load

Explanation:
When generators have different droop settings, the one with the higher droop will reduce its speed more as the load increases, resulting in it taking on a larger share of the load during parallel operation.

Correct Answer:
A) The difference between the no-load and full-load speed of a generator

Explanation:
Speed droop refers to the percentage decrease in the speed of a generator as it goes from no-load to full-load conditions. This characteristic helps in load sharing when generators are connected in parallel.

Correct Answer:
B) It allows each generator to adjust its power output proportionally based on its droop setting

Explanation:
Speed droop enables each generator to proportionally adjust its power output as the load changes, maintaining stability and balanced load sharing in parallel operation.

Correct Answer:
B) The generator with the higher droop setting would drop more in speed, causing a frequency imbalance

Explanation:
With unequal droop settings, the generator with the higher droop reduces speed more when the load increases, which can lead to a frequency imbalance if not managed properly.

Correct Answer:
B) To allow generators to share load proportionally

Explanation:
Speed droop enables generators to adjust their power output relative to their load, facilitating proportional load sharing when operating in parallel.

Correct Answer:
B) The generator with the lower droop may become overloaded

Explanation:
When the load increases suddenly, the generator with the lower droop setting may respond more aggressively by increasing its power output more rapidly than the one with the higher droop, potentially leading to an overload.
