PART – A Answer All Questions (9 x 2 = 18 Marks)

1. What are the factors affecting the cost of generation? LOTS 2

2. What are the advantages of using participation factor? LOTS 2

3. Write the condition for the optimal power dispatch in a lossless system. HOTS 2

4. What is meant by load frequency control? LOTS 3

5. What is AGC? LOTS 3

6. List the advantages of multi area operation. LOTS 3

7. What is meant by control area? LOTS 3

8. Define inertia constant. LOTS 3

9. State whether changes in AVR loop will be reflected in ALFC loop. HOTS 3

PART – B Answer All questions (2 x 16 = 32 Marks)

10. The fuel cost function for three power plants in $/h are given by (16) HOTS 2
2
F 1=0.004 PG 1 +5.3 PG 1 +500
2
F 2=0.00 6 PG 2 +5.5 PG 2+ 4 00
2
F 3=0.009 PG 3 +5. 8 P G 3+ 200
Where PG 1 , P G 2∧PG 3are in MW. Find the optimal dispatch and the total cost when the
total load is 925 MW with the following generator limits:
100 MW ≤ PG 1 ≤ 450 MW
100 MW ≤ PG 2 ≤ 3 50 MW
100 MW ≤ PG 3 ≤225 MW

11. (a) Two 750 kW alternators operate in parallel. The speed regulation of one set 100% to (16) HOTS 3
103% from full-load to no-load and that of other is 100% to 104%. How will the two
alternators share a load of 1000kW and at what load will one machine cease to
supply any portion of the load.
(OR)
(b) Explain the tie-line bias control of two area system. (16) HOTS 3
