🔹 Section B: Numerical Problems

Q6. A 132 kV system has short circuit current 15 kA. Find fault MVA.

Fault MVA = √3 × V × I = 1.732 × 132 × 15 = 3429 MVA (approx)


Q7. Two generators have incremental costs: dC1/dP1 = 0.04P1 + 5 dC2/dP2 = 0.06P2 + 4 Total load = 200 MW. Find economic load sharing.

Set equal: 0.04P1 + 5 = 0.06P2 + 4 P1 + P2 = 200 Solve: 0.04P1 - 0.06P2 = -1 Multiply by 100: 4P1 - 6P2 = -100 Substitute P1 = 200 - P2: 4(200 - P2) - 6P2 = -100 800 - 4P2 - 6P2 = -100 800 - 10P2 = -100 10P2 = 900 P2 = 90 MW P1 = 110 MW


Q8. Generator reactance = 0.25 pu. Find 3-phase fault current.

I = 1 / 0.25 = 4 pu


Q9. HVDC line ±400 kV carries 1500 A. Find transmitted power.

P = V × I = 400,000 × 1500 = 600 MW


Q10. If system frequency drops from 50 Hz to 49.8 Hz, find % frequency deviation.

Deviation = (0.2 / 50) × 100 = 0.4%
