according to the points assigned to the problems. Start every new problem from top of a page. Clearly
label the question number.

Problem 1: {CLO 2} [C-3] [30 marks]

A small hydro-power plant working principle is shown below. As an engineer you are asked to make a
process control loop diagram for controlling the power output and frequency of the generator. Power
output and frequency of the generator is controlled by controlling the water flow into the turbine by
control gates. use appropriate sensors and actuators to implement the control loop. Also design a
standardize P&ID for the control mechanism of the power plant.
Deliverables
1. Control Loop diagram
2. Control mechanism with all the sensos required
3. P&ID for the designed system

Small hydro Power plant

Hydroelectric power is the generation of electric power from the movement of water. A hydroelectric facility
requires a dependable flow of water and a reasonable height for the water to fall, called the head. In a typical
installation, water is fed from a reservoir through a pipe into a turbine. The water flowing through the turbine
causes an electrical generator to rotate, converting the motion into electrical energy.by controlling the flow of
water through control gates, generator frequency and power output is controlled.

Problem 2: {CLO: 2} [C-5] [30 marks]

A black Box Circuit draws a variable current, ranging from 0 to 4.7 Amps. Devise a
mechanism/Circuit to measure this current with the help of an ADC. the measurement
sensitivity of the mechanism should be 10 mAmps. also specify the reference voltage and
number of bits required by ADC.
After designing the system show that the measuring accuracy is at least 10mAmps
Deliverables
1. I2V sensor and design
2. V2 ADC Specifications
3. Measurement Accuracy

? Circuit

Problem 4: {CLO: 1} [C-4] [20 marks]
Design a simple circuit to indicate the low level of water in the revisor tank by turning on the
red led. The designed system should turn on the red led once water level is blow 65% in the
tank.

Characteristics and working of the sensor are shown below.

Deliverables
1. Circuit for Signal conditioning
2. Calculations and working of your design, for the mentioned problem
