3. A hydroelectric plant has a reservoir of area 2 sq. kilometres and of capacity 5 million cubic meters. The net head of water at the turbine is 50 m. If the efficiencies of turbine and generator are 85% and 95% respectively, calculate the total energy in kWh that can be generated from this station. If a load of 15000 kW has been supplied for 4 hours, find the fall in reservoir.

A single-phase, 120V(rms),60Hz source supplies power to a series R-L circuit consisting of R=10 and L=40mH. (a) Determine the power factor of the circuit and state whether it is lagging or leading. (b) Determine the real and reactive power absorbed by the load. (c) Calculate the peak magnetic energy Wint stored in the inductor by using the expression Wint=L(Irms)2 and check whether the reactive power Q=Wint is satisfied. (Note: The instantaneous magnetic energy storage fluctuates between zero and the peak energy. This energy must be sent twice each cycle to the load from the source by means of reactive power flows.)

A generator operating at 50 Hz delivers 1 p.u. power to an infinite bus through a transmission circuit in which resistance is ignored. A fault takes place reducing the maximum power transferable to 0.5 p.u. Where as before the fault, this power was 2.5 p.u. and after the clearance of the fault, it is 2 p.u. The value of 8 is max
Two generators are supplying a load. Both the generators have a no-load frequency of61.5 Hz and the slope sp of 1 MW/HZ. If they are supplying a real load of 2.0 MW at 0.8 pflagging, what would be the system frequency and power sharing between two generators?What measures can be taken to make the frequency 60 HZ. If an additional 1.0 MW load isconnected to the existing one what would the system frequency be.
