QUESTION 1 [15 MARKS]

Three generators are available to supply a power system peak load of 800 MW. The cost of
power production from each generator and maximum output is given.
C1 = 300 + 2.5 P1 + 0.0014 P12 RM/hr

10MW < P1 < 500 MW

C 2 = 250 + 2.3P2 + 0.0035 P22 RM/hr

10MW < P2 < 380 MW

C3 = 350 + 3.5 P3 + 0.0027 P32 RM/hr

10MW < P3 < 100 MW

a) Determine the cheapest cost of dispatch in order to meet the demand?

[7 Marks]

b) Determine the Penalty Factor for each plant if real power losses are defined as:

[6 marks]
c) Which of the three (3) generators are the most expensive and the cheapest to operate?
Support your answers with reasons.

[2 marks]

QUESTION 2 [15 MARKS]

A 100- MVA 20 kV synchronous generator is connected through a transmission line to a 100
MVA 20 kV synchronous motor. The per unit transient reactances of the generator and motor
are 0.25 and 0.20, respectively. The line reactance on the base of 100 MVA is 0.1 per unit.
The motor is taking 50 MW at 0.8 power factor leading at a terminal voltage of 20 kV. A
three-phase short circuit occurs at the generator terminals. Determine the transient currents in
each of the two machines and in the short circuit.

Figure 1: 3-Bus Network

Figure 1 shows a 3-Bus network with 2 generators connected to it. Based upon this, please
answer the following questions:
a) Obtain the Impedance Matrix for the network.

[6 marks]

b) A three phase fault occurred at Bus 3 with a fault impedance of j0.15 pu. Assume the
prefault voltage is 1.0 per unit. Calculate the voltage at each bus (V1, V2, V3) during fault
and short circuit current flowing through the branches (I1-2, I1-3, I2-3) in the network during
fault.

QUESTION 5 [20 MARKS]

a) A 60 Hz synchronous machine having inertia constant H= 5 MJ/MVA and a shaft axis
transient reactance X d' = 0.3 per unit is connected to an infinite bus through a purely
reactive circuit shown in Figure 3. Reactances are marked on the diagram on a common
system base.
The generator is delivering real and reactive power to infinite Bus 2 at voltage of
V = 10 per unit.
V = 10

S = 0.8 j 0.5 p.u Bus 1

XL1= j0.3

Figure 3
A three-phase fault occurred on line L2 and the fault is isolated instantaneously by the
tripping of circuit breakers CB21 and CB22 as shown in Figure 3. Determine if the
synchronous machine will remain synchronized or losses synchronism after the fault has
been cleared. Please support your answers with calculations and a graph.
