Broadly speaking, what are the two main objectives of electrical systems?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To discuss:
The two main objectives of electrical systems.
Explanation of Solution
The two main objectives of the electrical systems are
- The aim of an electrical system is to collect, save, alter, transfer and exhibit the information.
- Another aim of the electrical system is to generate, transmit, convert, distribute and store energy in various forms.
Energy is generated at the far stations because of several reasons like availability of the raw material, manpower, land and many more. It is generated at low voltage and then the voltage is raised as the losses are lesser in case of high voltages. To distribute it to the loads, the voltage is again stepped down as per the load requirement. This stepping up and stepping down of energy is done with the help of a device called transformer. Storing, processing and transfer of information is also a very essential part of an electrical system.

B) A 60-Hz generator is supply ing 60% of P max to an infinite bus through a reactive network.
A fault occurs which increases the reactance of the network between the generator internal
voltage and the infinite bus by 400%. When the fault is cleared, the maximum power that can
be delivered is 80% of the original maximum value. Determine the critical clearing angle for
the condition described.
Q3)
A: A generator operating at 50 Hz delivers 1 pu power to an infinite bus through a transmission
circuit in which resistance is ignored. A fault takes place reducing the maximum powe transferable
to 0.5 pu whereas before the fault, this power was 2.0 pu and after the clearance of the fault, it is
1.5 pu. By the use of equal area criterion, determine the critical clearing angle.
4. For the periodic signal shown in Fig. 4;
a) Find the exponential Fourier Series for y(t).
b) Use Parseval's Theorem to compute the total power contained in the 4th harmonic and all higher
harmonics.
