 Draw the Schematic Diagram of a Thermal Power Plant.


 Draw a neat schematic diagram of a hydro-electric plant and explain the functions of various components
 Explain the essential factors, which influence the choice of site for a hydro-electric plant.
 Explain in brief, the different components of a Thermal Power Plant and their function.
 Derive an expression for the loop inductance of a single-phase line.
 Derive the expression for Sag when the Tower supports are at Different Levels.
 A transmission line has a span of 150 m between level supports. Line conductor has a cross- sectional area
of 1.25 cm2 and it weighs 1.0 kg/m. if the breaking stress of conductor is 4200 kg/cm2, calculate the
maximum sag for a safety factor of 4. Assume a maximum wind pressure of 100 kg/m2 of projected
surface.(also the vertical sag)
 Each conductor of a 3-phase overhead transmission line is suspended from a cross- arm of a steel tower by
a string of four suspension insulators. The voltage across the second unit is 15.0 kV and across the third
27.0 kV. Find the voltage between conductors and string efficiency.
 A string of 4 insulators has a self-capacitance equal to 10 times the pin to earth capacitance. Find (i) the
voltage distribution across various units expressed as a percentages of total voltage across the string and (ii)
string efficiency.
 What is Transposition?
 Transposition is the periodic swapping of positions of the conductors of a transmission line, in order to reduce
crosstalk and otherwise improve transmission. In telecommunications this applies to balanced pairs whilst
in power transmission lines three conductors are periodically transposed
 Find out the expression of Inductance of a transposed line.
 Two conductors of a single-phase line, each of 1 cm diameters, are arranged in a vertical plane with one
conductor mounted 1 m above the other. A second identical line is mounted at the same height as the first
and spaced horizontally 0.25 m apart from it. The two upper and the two lower conductors are connected in
parallel. Determine the inductance per km of the resulting double circuit line.
 Find the inductance of per phase per km of a double circuit line shown below. The conductors are
transposed and are of radius 0.75 cm each. The phase sequence is ABC
 Deduce an expression for voltage regulation of a short transmission line, giving the vector diagram.
 Electrically model a Medium Transmission Line (considering π model). Draw the Phasor diagram. Find out
Voltage Regulation and Transmission Efficiency. Also find out Generalized constants for the network.
 A 3-phase, 50 Hz, 150 km line has a resistance, inductive reactance and capacitive shunt admittance of 0.1
Ω, 0.5 Ω and 3X 10-6 S per km per phase. If the line delivers 50 MW at 110 KV and 0.8 p.f lagging,
determine the sending end voltage and current. Assume a nominal π circuit for the line.
 An 11 kV three phase transmission line has a resistance of 1.5 ohm and 4 ohm per phase. Calculate the
percentage regulation and efficiency of the line when a total load of 5000 kVA at 0.8 lagging power factor
is supplied at 11 kV at distant end.
