The incremental cost characteristic of two generators delivering $$200$$ $$MW$$ are as follows $$\,\,\,{{d{F_1}} \over {d{P_1}}} = 20 + 0.1{P_1},\,\,{{d{F_2}} \over {d{P_2}}} = 16 + 0.2{P_2}$$
For economic operation, the generations $${P_1}$$ and $${P_2}$$ should be

A transmission line has equal voltages at the two ends, maintained constant by two sources. A third source is to be provided to maintain constant voltage (equal to end voltages) at either the midpoint of the line or at $$75$$% of the distance from the sending end. Then the maximum power transfer capabilities of the line in the original case and the other two cases respectively will be in the following ratios.

The corona loss on a particular system at 50 Hz is 1 kW/km per phase. The corona loss at 60 Hz would be

A $$275$$ $$kV,$$ $$3$$-phase, $$50$$ $$Hz,$$ $$400$$ $$km$$ lossless line has following parameters:
$$x=0.05$$ $$ohms/km,$$ line charging susceptance $$y=3.0$$ micro-Siemens/k.

(a) Calculate the receiving end voltage on open circuit using justifiable assumptions.

(b) What load at the receiving end will result in a flat voltage profile on the line?

(c) If the flat voltage profile is to be achieved at $$1.2$$ times the loading in (b), what will be the nature and quantum of uniformly distributed compensation required?
