1. a) Obtain the expression for transmission loss formula & what is the significance of
loss coefficients in a power system
b) Assume that maximum load on each of the four units is 200, 400, 250 & 300 MW
respectively and that minimum load on each unit is 50, 100, 80 & 110 MW
respectively. With these maximum and minimum output limits, find the plant and
MW output of each unit for economic dispatch.
1 = df1/dPg1 = 0.012 Pg1 + 9
2 = df2/dPg2 = 0.0096 Pg2 + 6
3 = df3/dPg3 = 0.008 Pg2 + 8
4 = df4/dPg4 = 0.0068 Pg4 + 10

2. a) Explain the mathematical modeling of prime mover & speed governor of LFC.
b) Three generating units operating in parallel at 60Hz have ratings of 300, 500 and
600MW and have speed-droop characteristics of 5, 4 and 3% respectively. Due to
a change in load, an increase in system frequency of 0.3Hz is experienced before
any supplementary control action occurs. Determine the amount of the change in
system load and also the amount of the change in generation of each unit to absorb
the load change.
3. Use dynamic programming method to determine the most economical units to be
committed to supply a load of 6MW. There are three units with the following data
C1 = 0.8P12 + 22P1
C2 = 0.85P22 + 21P2
C3 = 0.8P32 + 20P3
The maximum and minimum capacitance of each unit are 5MW and 1MW
respectively.
4. In the single area system shown below determine
(a) The steady state frequency error with Pc = 0
(b) Critical gain K of the integral control of Pc = -

5. a) Draw and explain the basic P-f and Q-V control loops.
b) T wo generat ing st at ions A and B have full load capacit ies of 200 MW and 75
M W respect ively. T he int er connect or connect ing t he t wo st at ions has an
induct ion mot or/ synchronous generat or (plant C) of full load capacit y of 25
M W. Percent age changes in speeds of A , B and C are 5, 4 and 3 respect ively. T he
loads on t he bus bars of A and B are 75 M W and 30 MW respect ively.
Det ermine t he load t aken by t he set C and indicat e t he direct ion in which t he
energy is owing.
6. a). With a neat block diagram, explain the single area load frequency control system.
b). For a generating unit the fuel input in millions of Btu/h is expressed as a function of
output Pg in megawatts by 0.032 Pg2 + 5.8 Pg + 120. Determine
a) The equation for incremental fuel cost in dollars per mega watt hour as a function of
Pg in megawatts based on a fuel cost of 2 dollar per million Btu.
b) The average cost of fuel per mega watt hour when Pg = 200 MW.
c) The approximate additional fuel cost per hour to raise the output of the unit from
200 to 201 MW. Also, find this additional cost accurately and compare it with the
approximate value.
