8. A power plant has 3 units with the following cost equations

C1 = 0.02P12 + 1.95 P1 + 100 Rs/hr
C2 = 0.015P22 + 2.10 P2 + 120 Rs/hr

C3 = 0.005P32 + 2.2 P3 + 130 Rs/hr

Maximum demand = 300MW. Find the optimal load shared by each of the units subject to the
constraints. Maximum generation of 185 MW and minimum generation of 40 MW for all the units.

at rated speed. E = 1.05 pu, V = 1 pu, Xd ’ = 0.2 pu, X1 = X2 = 0.4 pu. The generator is supplying 50
MW to the infinite bus. A three-phase fault occurs in the middle of line 2. Plot a swing curve for a
sustained fault up to a time of 0.5 s. The incremental time is 0.05s.

10. Figure shows the one-line diagram of a simple three bus power system with generators at buses 1
and 3. The system parameters are given in the Table A and the load and generation data in Table
B. Line impedances are marked in per unit on a 100 MVA base, and line charging susceptances are
neglected. The voltage at bus 3 is maintained at 1.04 pu. Taking bus 1 as slack bus obtain the load
flow solution using Gauss-Seidel iterative method using Y-bus. Use MiPower software.
