(a) A 50-Hz power system consists of two areas connected by a tie-line with parameters given in Table 1.
Table 1
Area B D
1
2
= 20 pu = 40 pu D = 0.5 pu D = 0.6 pu Base Power 800 MVA 500 MVA
The generators in both areas are initially operating in parallel at the nominal frequency of 50 Hz. A sudden load decrease of 367 MW occurs in Area 1. On a common base power of 1000 MVA, determine the steady-state frequency deviation, the change in frequency-dependent loads in both areas, the change in tie-line flow, and state the direction of the tie-line flow. Express your answers in per unit.
