Generator Capability Curves
Generator Capability Curves
(OP)
Hi Everyone,
At my company, we have some very old (1905 vintage) hydro generators. These are <1 MW units, 480V, 0.8pf units. They appear to be delta wound.
My question: there are no generator capability curves to be found. How are these curves created and is there a way to do it with the units in place?
Thanks in advance to all who reply

RE: Generator Capability Curves
It is matter fat NERC, NEPOOL, MAAC, NPCC, PJM and others power pool organizations are requiring testing of large units typically above 10 MVA.
