A $$50$$ Hz alternator is rated $$500$$ $$MVA,$$ $$20$$ $$kV,$$ with $${X_d} = 1.0$$ per unit and $$X'{'_d} = 0.2$$ per unit. It supplies a purely resistive load of $$400$$ $$MW$$ at $$20$$ $$kV.$$ The load is connected directly across the generator terminals when a symmetrical fault occurs at the load terminals. The initial rms current in the generator in per units is
A
$$7.22$$
B
$$6.4$$
C
$$3.22$$
D
$$2.2$$

A single line-to-ground fault occurs on an unloaded generator in phase a positive, negative, and zero sequence impedances of the generator are j0.25 p.u., j0.25 p.u., and j0.15 p.u. respectively. The generator neutral is grounded through a reactance of j0.05 p.u. The prefault generator terminal voltage is 1.0 p.u.
(a) Draw the positive, negative, and zero sequence networks for the fault given.
(b) Draw the interconnection of the sequence networks for the fault analysis.
(c) Determine the fault current.

A power system has two generators with the following cost curves
Generator $$1:$$ $${C_1}\left( {{P_{G1}}} \right) = 0.006\,P_{G1}^2 + 8{P_{G1}} + 350$$ (Thousand Rupees/Hour)
Generator $$2:$$ $${C_2}\left( {{P_{G2}}} \right) = 0.006\,P_{G2}^2 + 7{P_{G2}} + 400$$ (Thousand Rupees/Hour)
The generator limits are
$$\eqalign{ & 100\,MW \le {P_{G1}} \le 650\,MW \cr & 50\,MW \le {P_{G2}} \le 500\,MW \cr} $$

A load demand of $$600$$ $$MW$$ is supplied by the generators in an optimal manner. Neglecting losses in the transmission network, determine the optimal generation of each generator.

A
47.5 Hz
B
48.0 Hz
C
48.5 Hz
D
49.0 Hz
