1. A Power Station of plant capacity 100 MW, Average load 90 MW and Maximum load 95
MW. Find Load factor, Plant capacity factor and Plant Utilization factor.
2. Write down conditions of parallel operation of two alternators.
3. A long-shunt compound-wound generator gives 240 volts at F.L. output of 100A. The
resistances of various windings of the machine are : armature (including brush contact)
0.1, series field 0.02 , interpole field 0.025 , shunt field (including regulating
resistance) 100 . The iron loss at F.L. is 1000 W; windage and friction losses total 500
W. Calculate F.L. efficiency of the machine. (B.L Theraja: Example 26.28)
4. An alternator on open-circuit generates 360 V at 60 Hz when the field current is 3.6 A.
Neglecting saturation, determine the open-circuit e.m.f. when the frequency is 40 Hz and
the field current is 2.4 A. (B.L Theraja Example 37.12)
5. A 3-phase alternator has generated e.m.f per phase of 230 V with 10 per cent third
harmonic and 6 per cent fifth harmonic content. Calculate the R.M.S. line voltage for (a)
star connection (b) delta-connection. Find also the circulating current in delta connection
if the reactance per phase of the machine at 50-Hz is 10 .(B.L Theraja Example 37.14)
6. Figure 3 shows a generator supplying a load. A second load is to be connected in parallel
with the first one. The generator has a no-load frequency of 61.0 Hz and a slope sp of 1
MW/Hz. Load 1 consumes a real power of 1000kW at 0.8 PF lagging. While load 2
consumes a real power of 800 kW at 0.707 PF lagging.
(a) Before the switch is closed. What is the operating frequency of the system?
(b) After load 2 is connected. What is the operating frequency of the system?
(c) After load 2 is connected. What action could an operator take to restore the system
frequency to 60 Hz? (Chapman: Example 4.5)

7. Determine per pole the number (i) of cross-magnetizing ampere-turns (ii) of

demagnetizing ampere-turns in the case of a d.c. generator having the following data.500
conductors, total current 200 A, 6 poles, 2-circuit wave winding, angle of lead = 10,
leakage coefficient = 1.3 (B.L Theraja Example 27.6)
8. A generating system will have a total capacity of 300 MW. Find the probable forced

outage when the capacity is supplied by two 150 MW units. The operating probability of
all units is P=0.98 and forced outage probability rate Q =0.02. (Power Station
Engineering and Economy By William A. Vopat: Example 31-1)
9. Draw the secondary voltage and load voltage. Find the PIV of the diodes.

10. Assuming an Ideal Op-Amp find the IL of the circuit?

11. Find the maximum value of IB is required saturate the BJT, if =200, calculate maximum
value of Ra when a Vin of 5V drives the BJT into saturation neglect VCE (SAT).

12. Evaluate the following convolution integral of X(t)*S(2t+a). (Alike Alexander: 15.5)
13. Draw the circuit of envelope detector & write the expression that relates the value of RC
to the Modulating frequency and Carrier frequency.
14. Draw the spectrum of X(t) of the system show below and that of P(t) is , Pt = _(n=)^ (-2500n),
