1. A 500 MW, 21 kV, 50 Hz three phase two pole alternator has 0.8 lagging p.f. with moment of inertia of 27.5×103 kgm-2. The inertia constant H will be _______ MJ/MVA.
a) 2.17
b) 4.2
c) 2.82
d) 2.62
View Answer

Answer: a
The inertia constant H will be 2.17 MJ/MVA for 500 MW, 21 kV, 50 Hz three phase two pole

2. If the power system network is at Vs∠δ and receiving end voltage is Vr∠0 consisting of the impedance of TL as (R+j5)Ω. For maximum power transfer to the load, the most appropriate value of resistance R should be __________
a) 1.732
b) 3
c) 1.2
d) 0.33
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: For maximum power transfer, X=√3 R
3=√3 R
R=√3.

3. At a 33kV 50 Hz to a bus a load of 35 MW is connected. To improve the power factor to unity a synchronous phase modifier is connected taking 5 MW. If the SPM is represented as delta connected impedance, where in each phase we have capacitor connected parallel to resistance forming RC parallel network, then the value of this resistance is ___________
a) 653.4 Ω
b) 753.6 Ω
c) 280.4 Ω
d) 682 Ω
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Reactive power fed by SPM = 35tan36.87 = 26.25 MVAR
Active power consumed by prime mover = 5 MW
5*106 = 3V2/R
R=3(33×1000)2/(5*106) = 653.4 Ω.
