2. A generating unit of 10 MW capacity supplies the following loads: Domestic consumers with a maximum demand of 6 MW at a load factor of 50%. Small industrial load with a maximum demand of 3.6 MW at a load factor of 50%. Street light load with a maximum demand of 400 kW at a load factor of 30%. Capital cost of the plant is $100 per kW. Total running cost is $360,000 per year. Depreciation on capital cost is 10%. Estimate the overall energy cost per kWh for each type of consumer.

The maximum demand of a power station is 110 MW. It generates 105 x 10 units during the day. The station has three units of 40 MW and another unit of 40 MW as spare. The running hours of the unit are as follows. The first unit of 40 MW runs for 24 hours. Another unit of 40 MW runs for 14 hours. A third unit of 40 MW runs for 4 hours. So Find (1) daily load factor (2) plant capacity factor (3) utilization factor and (4) plant use factor.
The yearly load duration curve of a certain power station can be approximated as a straight line; the maximum and minimum loads being 40 MW and 10 MW respectively. To meet this load, three turbine generator units, two rated at 20 MW each and one at 10 MW are installed. Draw the load duration curve and determine: (i) Installed capacity (ii) Plant capacity factor (iii) kWh output per year (iv) Load factor.

A short transmission line connects a step-up transformer on the source side with a series impedance of j0.5 ohms (referred to the primary) to a step-down transformer on the load side with a series impedance of 50 ohms (referred to the primary). The turn ratio of the step-up transformer is 1:10 and a no-load primary voltage of 13.2 (line-to-line) kV. The step-down transformer has a turn ratio of 15:1 and it has a Y-connected, balanced load of 0.667 +j 0.111 ohms connected to its secondary side. A capacitor bank of -j0.239 ohms is added parallel to the load. Assuming an ideal transmission line, the load voltage (line-to-neutral) would be: A. 5118 V B. 6.2 kV C. 8865 V D. None of the other choices are correct E. 4225 V
