(For students admitted in 2017 only)

Time: 3 hours Max. Marks: 60

Answer all the questions
*****
1 (a) Describe the desirable features and characteristics of smart grid.
(b) Distinguish between conventional grid and smart grid.
OR
2 Explain in detail about the architecture of the smart grid.

3 (a) Explain how smart meters can be play an important role to make a system smart.
(b) Write a note on phase measurement unit.
OR
4 A specification sheet of a smart meter states that its rated current is 100 A and power
dissipation is 3 W. It employs a current-sensing resistor of 200 . When the load current is
at the rated value of the meter, calculate: (i) The power dissipation in all the other
components of the meter. (ii) The voltage across the current-sensing resistor. (iii) The gain
of the PGA to match with an ADC having a full scale of 5 V.

5 List out the load flow challenges in smart grid and weaknesses of the conventional load
flow methods.
OR
6 Explain in detail the load flow used for smart grid design.

7 Explain the voltage instability preventive control scheme for the power grid.
OR
8 (a) Write short notes on: (i) Type I instability. (ii) Type II instability.
(b) Explain the outage management system principles and integration requirements.

9 Explain the concept plug in hybrid electric vehicles.

OR
10 (a) Explain how smart appliances can be the part of smart grid.
(b) Explain the concept of vehicle to grid.
