    Course Code: EET 301


    Course Name: POWER SYSTEMS I

    Max. Marks: 100 Duration: 3 Hours

    PART A
    (Answer all questions; each question carries 3 marks) Marks

    1 A generating station has a connected load of 40 MW and a maximum demand of 3


    20 MW: the units generated being 60 × 106. Calculate (i) the demand factor (ii)
    the load factor.
    2 List the advantages of hydro power station. 3
    3 What is transposition of lines? Comment on its necessity. 3
    4 A single-phase line has two parallel conductors 2 metres apart. The diameter of 3
    each conductor is 1·2 cm. Calculate the loop inductance per km of the line.
    5 What do you mean by shunt compensation of transmission line? 3
    6 List different methods of improving string efficiency. 3
    7 Draw the block diagram of static relay. 3

    PART B
    (Answer one full question from each module, each question carries 14 marks)

    Module -1
    11 a) Explain with neat sketch the various parts of a Nuclear Power Plant. 10
    b) A power station is to supply four regions of loads whose peak values are 10,000 4
    kW, 5000 kW, 8000 kW and 7000 kW. The diversity factor of the load at the
    station is 1.5 and the average annual load factor is 60%. Calculate the maximum
    demand on the station and annual energy supplied from the station.
