Question:
Which of the following options is/are correct for the Automatic Generation Control (AGC) and Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) installed with synchronous generators?
Which of the following options is/are correct for the Automatic Generation Control (AGC) and Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) installed with synchronous generators?
Show Hint
AGC primarily controls the frequency by adjusting mechanical power input, while AVR controls the terminal voltage by regulating field current.
Updated On: Jan 23, 2025
- AGC response has a local effect on frequency while AVR response has a global effect on voltage.
- AGC response has a global effect on frequency while AVR response has a local effect on voltage.
- AGC regulates the field current of the synchronous generator while AVR regulates the generator's mechanical power input.
- AGC regulates the generator's mechanical power input while AVR regulates the field current of the synchronous generator.

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Understand the function of AGC.
AGC is responsible for controlling the frequency of the power system, which affects the system globally.
Step 2: Understand the function of AVR. AVR is responsible for regulating the voltage locally by adjusting the field current of the synchronous generator.
Step 3: Analyze the options.
Option (2): Correct as AGC affects frequency globally and AVR affects voltage locally.
Option (4): Correct as AGC adjusts mechanical power input and AVR adjusts field current.
Step 2: Understand the function of AVR. AVR is responsible for regulating the voltage locally by adjusting the field current of the synchronous generator.
Step 3: Analyze the options.
Option (2): Correct as AGC affects frequency globally and AVR affects voltage locally.
Option (4): Correct as AGC adjusts mechanical power input and AVR adjusts field current.

- A single-phase full-controlled thyristor converter bridge is used for regenerative braking of a separately excited DC motor with the following specifications: Rated armature voltage = \( 210 \, \text{V} \), Rated armature current = \( 10 \, \text{A} \), Rated speed = \( 1200 \, \text{rpm} \), Armature resistance = \( 1 \, \Omega \), Input to the converter bridge = \( 240 \, \text{V at 50 Hz} \). Assume that the motor is running at \( 600 \, \text{rpm} \) and the armature terminals of the motor are suitably reversed for regenerative braking. If the armature current of the motor is to be maintained at the rated value, the triggering angle of the converter bridge in degrees should be (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|} \hline Parameter & Value
\hline Rated armature voltage & 210 V
\hline Rated armature current & 10 A
\hline Rated speed & 1200 rpm
\hline Armature resistance & 1 $\Omega$
\hline Input to the converter bridge & 240 V at 50 Hz
\hline \end{tabular}
