I've been told by a few...

    Why does the frequency increase when generation exceeds load?

    I could rephrase the same question, why does the frequency decrease when load exceeds generation? I know these are fundamental operating characteristics of a power system network but I'm not sure I can mathematically prove it. My best guess is that everything dissipates more power when the...

    How to differentiate positive Vars from negative Vars?

    I've read through a lot of old threads on this, and I admit I still do not fully understand. I just want to double check this. S = P + jQ. The sign of Q is completely dependent on whether the load is leading or lagging, AND which convention you take the sign of P to be in. For example. For...
