1. A power station is supplying energy to Mirpur area through two substations A and B where [5]
each substation feeds four feeders, The daily recorded maximum demands are as follows.

Items Maximum Demands [kW] Items Maximum Demands [kW]

Power station 120x
Substation A 60x Substation B 90x
Feeder 1 17x Feeder 1 28x
Feeder 2 18x Feeder 2 15x
Feeder 3 28x Feeder 3 40x
Feeder 4 6x Feeder 4 30x

Calculate the diversity factor between –

(i) Substations
(ii) Feeders on Substation A
(iii) Feeders on Substation B

2. Rooppur nuclear power plant has the following load cycle. [5]

Time [Hr] 0-6 6 - 10 10 - 12 12 - 16 16 - 18 18 - 22 22 - 24

Load [MW] x 2x 4x 2x 3x 5x x

Draw the daily load curve and select suitable generator units from x, 2x, 3x and 4x MVA. Also
prepare the operation schedule for the machines selected and determine the load factor from
the curve.
