Problem Title: Feeder Analysis, Optimization and System Design for Power Factor Correction. Problem Description: You are tasked with analyzing and optimizing 2.4/4.16-kV wye-connected feeder system of a power distribution network to improve power factor and efficiency. The feeder serves various loads including peak, synchronous motor, and daily minimum loads. The goal is to minimize costs associated with power factor correction while ensuring reliable operation. The different analysis and optimization levels that you will investigate are as follows: Level-l: (Feeder Impedance Analysis) Analyze the impedance characteristics of the feeder, considering its configuration and total impedance (0.50 + j1.3502). Evaluate how this impedance affects power delivery to different loads along the feeder. Level-ll: (Load Characterization) Characterize the various loads connected to the feeder. Feeder having peak load of 300A at a lagging Power factor of 0.7 for 1200 hours a year, synchronous motor of 500hp having efficiency of 78% and connected in parallel with 450kw at 0.7 Power factor lagging, Mechanical load on the motor including losses is 100kw for 4500 hours a year and minimum daily loads of approximately 135 A at 0.62 Power factor for 2800 hours a year. Understand their power requirements, power factors, and operating durations throughout the year. Level-III: (Power Factor Correction Strategies) Investigate strategies to correct the overall power factor of the feeder, particularly during peak load conditions. Explore various methods to achieve the target power factor of 0.98 lagging efficiently. Level-IV: (Cost Analysis and Optimization) Conduct a detailed cost analysis in terms of different methods of Power Factor Correction considering below given cost considerations. i.
