?????

1. (a) Describe in detail, with suitable examples, the methods of optimum scheduling
of generation of power from a thermal station.
(b) What is Production cost of power generated and incremental fuel rate?
(c) Write the expression for hourly loss of economy resulting from error in incre-
mental cost representation.
[6+5+5]

2. Give algorithm for economic allocation of generation among generators of a thermal

system taking into account transmission losses. Give steps for implementing this
algorithm, and also derive necessary equations. [16]

3. Explain Unit commitment problem and discuss the solution using dynamic pro-
gramming. [16]

4. Give the computational procedure for optimal power flow with out in equality
constraints. [16]

5. Obtain the dynamic response of load frequency control of isolated power system
for first order approximation. [16]

6. (a) Draw the block diagram representation of load frequency control.

(b) For two-area load frequency control with integral controller blocks, derive an
expression for steady values of change in frequency and tie line power for
simultaneously applied unit step load disturbance inputs in the two areas.
[7+9]

7. (a) Explain about the losses occurred due to VAR flow in power systems.
(b) Explain how the generators are acted as VAR sources in a power network
