Topic summary

A synchronous generator operating at 3000 RPM produces 500 MW at a fixed frequency. Increasing power output to 700 MW does not change the rotational speed, as synchronous generators maintain constant speed to preserve frequency. To deliver higher power, mechanical input power must increase while speed remains constant. Voltage output may drop under increased load, requiring increased magnetic flux to maintain voltage, limited by core saturation. Attempts to calculate new speed by proportional scaling of power (e.g., 4200 RPM) are incorrect because speed and frequency are fixed parameters in synchronous generation. Changes in speed would alter frequency and voltage, which is undesirable in power systems.
