QUESTION 1:
Plant rated capacity= 5X1 = 5 MW
Average load= 2X2+2X3+2X4+2X3+4X4.5+4X3.5+2X2.5+5X1.5+1X2 = 2.9375 MW
24
Load Factor= Average Load
Maximum demand
Maximum demand = 4.5 MW
Load factor=2.9375 =0.652
4.5
Plant factor= Average load
Plant rated capacity
Plant factor=2.9375 =0.5875
5

Correct Answer: c

QUESTION 2:
Maximum demand= 20 MW
Load factor =0.5
Plant factor =0.4
Average load= Load factor X Max. demand= 0.5X20 =10 MW
Daily energy consumed = 10MW X24 hr =240 MWhr
Rated Capacity of the plant =Average load =25 MW
Plant Factor
Reserve capacity =Rated capacity – maximum demand =5 MW

Correct Answer: a

QUESTION 3:
Plant use factor=0.85
The maximum energy that could be produced = Average load X 24 hr
daily if plants run at their maximum rating Plant use factor
= 240/0.85
= 282.35 MWhr
Correct Answer: c

QUESTION 4:
Rate of annual load growth (g) = 5%
Years required (m) = 5
Initial load demand (Po) =100 MW
Annual load after m years, Pm=Po (1+g)m
=100(1+0.05)5
=127.62 MW
Correct Answer: d

QUESTION 5:
Load A: 50 MW from 8 AM- 6 PM
Load B: 50 MW from 6 AM- 10 AM
Load C: 30 MW from 7 AM- 12 PM
Load D: 10 MW from 10 AM- 6 AM
Peak of all load= 130 MW
The diversity factor = sum of all individual max loads
Peak of all loads
=140/130 =1.07
Correct Answer: b

QUESTION 6:
Maximum demand =100 MW
Load factor = 0.55
Plant capacity factor=0.5
Plant use factor = 0.85
Utilization factor =maximum demand
Rated capacity
Average load= Load factor X Max. demand= 0.55X100 =55 MW
Rated Capacity of the plant =Average load =55/0.5=110 MW
Plant Factor

Utilization factor =100/110=0.909

Correct Answer: a

QUESTION 7:
Connected loads =200 MW
Maximum demand=100 MW
MWhr generated in a year =480 X 103
Load Factor= Average Load
Maximum demand
= 480 X 103/8760 =0.5479
100
Demand factor = Maximum demand
Connected Load
= 100/200 =0.5
Correct Answer: d

QUESTION 8:
Following are the consequences of low power factor.
a. Increase in system kVA
b. Increase in amount of copper in line
c. Increase in power loss
d. Increase in voltage drop
Among these, all are correct.

Correct Answer: d

QUESTION 9:
Feeder-A sum of individual maximum demands = (50+70+60+30+10) kW =220 kW
Feeder-B sum of individual maximum demands = (70+90+30) kW =190 kW
Maximum demand on feeder A = 200 kW
Maximum demand on feeder B is 150 kW

Diversity factor = sum of all individual max loads

Peak of all loads

Diversity factor for consumers of feeder A = 220/200 =1.1

Diversity factor for consumers of feeder B = 190/150=1.26

Correct Answer: a

__________________________________________________________________________________________
QUESTION 10:
The relation between load factor (LF) and loss factor (LLF) is- (LF)2<LLF<LF

Correct Answer: b

__________________________________________________________________________________________
QUESTION 11:
The diversity factor = 1.25
Load factor =0.55
Sum of individual maximum demands = (12+30+15+20) MW =77 MW
Maximum demand at the station= sum of all individual max loads
Diversity factor
= 77/1.25
=61.6 MW
Correct Answer: c

__________________________________________________________________________________________
QUESTION 12:
The condition/reasons for which Loss factor becomes unequal to load factor is- Very short lasting peak intervals

Correct Answer: b
