A $$3$$-phase, $$11$$-$$kV$$ generator feeds power to a constant power unity power factor load of $$100$$ $$MW$$ through a $$3$$-phase transmission line. The line-to-line voltage at the terminals of the machine is maintained constant at $$11$$ $$kV$$. The per unit positive sequence impedance of the line based on $$100$$ $$MVA$$ and $$11$$ $$kV$$ is $$j$$ $$0.2$$. The line to line voltage at the load terminals is measured to be less than $$11$$ $$kV$$. The total reactive power to be injected at the terminals of the load to increase the line-to-line voltage at the load terminals to $$11$$ $$kV$$ is
A
$$100$$ MVAR
B
$$10.1$$ MVAR
C
$$-100$$ MVAR
D
$$-10.1$$ MVAR

In a transmission line each conductor is at $$20$$ $$kV$$ and is supported by a string of $$3$$ suspension insulators. The air capacitance between each cap-pin junction and tower is one-fifth of the capacitance $$C$$ of each insulation unit. A guard ring, effective only over the line-end insulator unit is fitted so that the voltages on the two units nearest the line-end are equal.

A generator delivers power of 1.0 p.u. to an infinite bus through a purely reactive network. The maximum power that could be delivered by the generator is 2.0 p.u. A three-phase fault occurs at the terminals of the generator which reduces the generator output to zero. The fault is cleared after $${t_c}$$ seconds. The original network is then restored. The maximum swing of the rotor angle is found to be $${\delta _{\max }} = 110$$ electrical degree. Then the rotor angle in electrical degrees at $$t = {t_c}$$ is

55
B
70
C
69.14
