12. a) Develop linear model for single area ALFC and explain the static and dynamic
analysis for controlled input.
(OR)
b) A two area system connected by a tie line has the following parameters with
base MVA for each area with the frequency of 50 Hz and synchronizing power
co-efficient T12 = 2 pu. A load change of 400 MW occurs in area 1. Determine
the steady state frequency deviation and the change in tie line flow.
Area 1 2
Turbine output power 2000 MVA 1000 MVA
Inertia constant 3% 4%
Generator gain constant 50 Hz/pu MW 40
Governor time constant 0.3 0.2
Turbine time constant 0.6 0.4
13. a) Develop the block diagram of AVR and obtain its transfer function and explain
the static and dynamic response.
(OR)
b) Explain the role of tap changing transformer in voltage control.
14. a) The fuel inputs per hour of plants 1 and 2 are given below as :
F1 = 0.2 P12 + 40P1 + 120 Rs / hr
F2 = 0.25 P22 + 30 P2 + 150 Rs / hr
Determine the economic operating schedule and the corresponding cost of
generation. The maximum and minimum loading on each unit is 100 MW and
25 MW. Assume that the transmission losses are ignored and the demand is
180 MW. Also determine the saving obtained if the load is equally shared by
both the units. (13)
(OR)
