Two shunt generators connected in parallel is inherently stable

Justify the statement: Stability of operation is an important factor in the parallel operation of generators. Shunt generators share the load proportionately. Should anything to occur to upset this proportionate division of load, it would be desirable for the generators to restore automatically the division of load. Assuming that the speed governor of one of the motors driving the generators is such that it will not hold the speed constant and because of this condition the speed of generator 2 will increase. The increase in speed will produce a large r induced voltage in generator 2,which in turn will cause generator 2 to deliver more load. Of course ,if generator 2 delivers more of the load, generator 1 delivers less. This larger load upon generator 2 will cause more current to flow in the armature of generator 2,producing a larger I a R a drop, a larger drop due to armature reaction, and a larger reduction in armature current, all of which tends to oppose the increas...
