multiple generator modeling
(OP)
If I'm considering a distribution system that is solely supplied by synch. generators and I have 3 of them running at once......is there any way to model these in terms of reactance (sub-transient, zero sequence, etc.) as one large generator ? Is it as easy as considering them connected in parallel (which they are) and then adding the reactances as if the were in parallel too ? (As well as adding up there power)
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

One parameter to define the accuracy of the model could be the margin between the design short circuit levels compared with the interrupting rating of the protective device(s).
For large margin, let's say above 20%, the experience often could help to make short cuts selecting either a simplify or complex model to determine the withstand capability of the system.
