3. Swing equation is very famous for describing the relation between the ___________
a) rotor motion and stator field
b) stator and rotor field
c) load angle and rotor field
d) moment of inertia and rotor motion
View Answer

4. Swing equation which describes the relative motion of the rotor of the machine, is a __________
a) linear and second-order differential equation
b) non linear and second-order differential equation
c) non linear and first-order differential equation
d) non linear and hyperbolic equation
View Answer

Answer: b

Hence it is a non linear second order differential equation.

5. A variation in the power transfer had been observed at the generating station while power exchange process due to ______ and is known as ______
a) swing of the machine, inertial response
b) sub synchronism, hunting
c) sub synchronism, inertial response
d) swing of the machine, falling out of the rotor
View Answer

6. Why the angle δ, rotor angle is famously called as the load angle in the equation of rotor dynamics?
a) Due to power exchange is a function of δ
b) Because it dictates the reactive power compensation
c) Due to load variations
d) No dependency on the load dynamics
