Series capacitive compensation in $$EHV$$ transmission lines is used to

For the network shown in figure the zero sequence reactances in p.u. are indicated. The zero sequence driving point reactance of the node 3 is

In a power system, the fuel inputs per hour of plants $$1$$ and $$2$$ are given as
$${F_1} = 0.20\,P_1^2 + 30\,{P_1} + 100\,\,$$ Rs per hour
$${F_2} = 0.25\,P_2^2 + 40\,{P_2} + 150\,\,$$

The limits of generators are $$$\eqalign{ & 20 \le {P_1} \le 80\,MW \cr & 40 \le {P_2} \le 200\,MW \cr} $$$
Find the economic operating schedule of generation, If the load demand is $$130$$ $$MW.$$ neglecting transmission losses.

Bulk power transmission over long HVDC lines are preferred, on account of
