For a power station the yearly load duration curve is a straight line from 50,000 to 4000 kw. To meet the load three turbogenerators are installed. The capacity of two generators is 20,000 kw each and the 3rd is rated at 7,000 kw. a. Draw the annual load duration curve b. Determine the following the Energy generated per year, Load factor and Annual Capacity factor.
The peak load on a 50 MW power station is 39 MW. It supplies power through for transformers whose connected loads are 17, 12,9 and 10 MW. The maximum demands on these transformers are 15, 10, 8 and 9 MW respectively. The annual load factor is 50% and the plant is operating for 65% of the period in a year. 102. The average load on the station is (A) 50000 kW (C) 39000 kW (B) 19500 kW (D) 48000 kW. 103.

For a power station the yearly load duration curve is a straight line from 50,000 to 4000 kw. To meet the load three turbo-generators are installed. The capacity of two generators is 16,000 kw each and the 3rd is rated at 7,000 kw. Determine the following a) Load factor. b) Capacity factor. c) Maximum demand.
b) Two alternators are connected in parallel to feed a load together. The no-load frequency of the first alternator is 51.5 Hz and its slope is 1MW / Hz. The no-load frequency of the second alternator is 51.0 Hz and its slope is 1MW / Hz. The total power of the load fed by these two alternators is 2.5MW and the power factor is 0.8. Accordingly, at what frequency does this system work and what are the power values transferred to the load by each alternator.
Two 60MVA, alternators operate in parallel. The setting of the governor are such that the rise in speed from full load to no load is 2% in one machine and 3% in the other, the characteristics being straight lines in both cases. If each machine is fully loaded when the total load is 120MW, what will be the load on the first machine (with 2% speed regulation) when the total load is reduced to 80MW?
In the system shown in Figure 1, the transformers are connected star-star with both star points grounded and the generators are connected in star with thier star points grounded. The system base is 15 MVA. The transformers all have reactances of 0.04 p.u. on this 15 MVA base. The reactances of all other elements are given in Table 1 (in 2) and the voltage levels are given in Table 2. p.u. G1 p.u. T1 jö Per-Unit Convert all values to p.u. on a 15 MVA base. Xa= p.u.

A generator operating at 50 Hz delivers 1 p.u. power to an infinite bus through a transmission circuit in which resistance is ignored. A fault takes place reducing the maximum power transferable to 0.5 p.u. Where as before the fault, this power was 2.5 p.u. and after the clearance of the fault, it is 2 p.u. The value of 8 is max
