Q1.A power station has the daily load on the station as follows.

(1+1+1+1+1+1=6 marks)

Time kW
11 PM-6AM 2000
6 AM-8 AM 3500
8 AM-12 Noon 8000
12 Noon-1 PM 3000
1 PM-5PM 7500
S PM-7PM 8500
7PM-9PM 10000
9PM-11PM 4500

(a) Draw the load duration curve.

(b)Choose the size and number of generating units. What reserve capacity would be
necessary?
(c) Find the load factor.
(d) Find plant capacity factor.
(e) Find plant use factor.
(1) Mention the operating schedule based on chosen size and number of generating units.

Q2.A generating station has the installed capacity of 500 MW, plant capacity factor 45%.
=

annual load factor = 60%, capital cost = Rs Ix10", annual interest and depreciation on capital
cost=15%, and annual cost of fuel, oil, etc=Rs 10x10'. Calculate the following. (1+1+1+=
4)

(a) Maximum demand

(b) Minimum reserve capacity
(c) Total annual charges
(d) Cost per kWh generated
