The incremental cost curves in Rs/MWhr for two generators supplying a common load of $$700$$ MW are shown in the figures. The maximum and minimum generation limits are also indicated. The optimum generation schedule is:

Consider a bundled conductor of an overhead line consisting of three identical sub-conductors placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle as shown in figure. If we neglect the charges on the other phase conductors and ground, and assume that spacing between sub-conductors is much larger than their radius, the maximum electric field intensity is experienced at

Consider the transformer connections in a part of a power system shown in the figure. The nature of transformer connections and phase shifts are indicated for all but one transformer. Which of the following connections, and the corresponding phase shift $$\theta ,$$ should be used for the transformer between $$A$$ and $$B$$?

Single line diagram of a $$4$$-bus single source distribution system is shown below. Branches $${e_1},\,\,$$ $${e_2},\,\,$$ $${e_3}\,\,$$ and $${e_4}\,\,$$ have equal impedences. The load current values indicated in the figure are in per unit.

Distribution Company's policy requires radial system operation with minimum loss. This can be achieved by opening of the branch
