    B.Tech. ( Sem. IV) ( Mid Term III) Examination, 2015


    Electrical Engg.
    4EE4A GENERATION OF ELECTRICAL POWER
    Time : 3 Hours] [Total Marks : 80
    [ Min Passing Marks : 24

    Attempt any five questions , selecting one question from each unit. All questions
    carry equal marks. Schematic diagrams must be shown wherever necessary. Any
    data you feel missing suitably be assumed and stated clearly.
    Units of quantities used / calculated must be stated clearly.

    UNIT I
    1. (a) Explain the cost analysis of a power plant? How is cost classified in a
    power plant?

    (b) A generating station has a max demand of 30 MW, a load factor of 0.6, a
    plant capacity of 0.48, and a plant use factor of 0.8. Find:
    (i) the daily energy produced.
    (ii) The reserve capacity of the plant?
    (iii). The max energy that could be produced daily if it runs fully loaded?

    OR
    1. (a) Explain the significance of load factor and diversity factor? Explain the
    load sharing between peak load and base load plants using cost equations?

    (b) A generating station has a max demand of 50 MW. Calculate :


    (i) The fixed cost
    (ii) The running cost
    (iii) No of units consumed per year
    (iv) The cost per kwh, from the following data
    Capital cost = Rs 150 106
    Annual cost of fuel oil = Rs 9106
    Taxes , wages and salaries = Rs 6106
    Interest and depreciation = 10 %
    Annual load factor = 50%

    UNIT II

    2. (a) What are load duration curves ? Explain integrated load curves ?
    (6 Marks)

    (b) A motor of 25 HP connected to a condensate pump has been burnt


    beyond economical repairs. Two alternatives have been proposed to replace
    it by:
    Cost at full load at half load
    Motor A: Rs 5,000 90% 85%
    Motor B: Rs 3,500 86% 80%

    The life of each motor is 20 years and its salvage value is 12% of the initial
    cost. The rate of interest is 5% annually. The motor operates at full load for
    30% of time and at half load for the remaining period. The annual
    maintanence cost of motor A is Rs 400 and that of motor B is Rs 200. The
    energy rate is 12 paise / kwh.

    OR
    2. (a)What are objectives of a tariff? Explain the hopkinson demand rate
    and Doherty rate tariff systems?

    (b) A Hopkinson demand rate is quoted as follows :


    Demand rates:
    First 1 kw of max demand = Rs 6/kw/month
    Next 4 kw of max demand = Rs 5/kw/month
    Excess 5 kw of max demand = Rs 4/kw/month
    Energy rates:
    First 50 Kwh = 7 paise /kwh
    Next 50 Kwh = 5 paise /kwh
    Next 200 Kwh = 4 paise /kwh
    Next 400 Kwh = 3 paise /kwh
    Excess over 700 Kwh = 2 paise /kwh
    Determine :
    (i) The monthly bill for a total consumption of 2000 kwh and a max
    demand of 15 kw. Also find out the unit energy cost.
    (ii) Lowest possible bill for a month and a corresponding unit energy
    cost.

    compare it with the straight line method ? Enumerate the advantages and
    disadvantages?

    (b) A plant cost Rs 7.56 105 and it is estimated that after 25 years it will
    have to be replaced, by a new one , at that instant its salvage value will be rs
    1.56 105 .
    calculate

    years,
    (ii) The value of plant after 10 years , on the following basis
    (a) Straight line depreciation method
    (b) Diminishing balance method
    (c) Sinking fund depreciation method at 8% annual compound interest
