ABC power generation unit based on the ideal Rankine cycle is supplying around 150MW to the power grid. Due to hike in coal rate, they are facing some economic losses and the power grid is not allowing them to increase the rate of electricity. Please mention your suggestions to ABC power generation unit which will help to reduce the cost of power generation by improving the cycle efficiency for better plant economy.

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?
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.
