Estimate the total land requirements for wind farms generating an amount of electric energy equal to 2008 US annual consumption (4.4 × 1012 kWeh) if individual units are rated at 2 MWe, have a rotor with a 100 m diameter, and are spaced 3 diameters side to side, 10 diameters front to rear in giant contiguous wind farms having an annual average capacity factor of 25%. Compare the required area to that of North and South Dakota (combined land area of 145,000 square miles), which have some of the best US wind resources. Discuss the factors that would favor or impede the practical implementation of a Grand Midwestern Wind Farm plan to provide the bulk of US electric energy by the year 2050.

Four industrial centers are located at the corners of a square of 35300 m side. The loads are 430000 W, 600000 W, 220000 W and 740000 W respectively. Determine the best Y coordinate location of the substation . The reference point of load is 220000 W. Coordinate of Y in KM =
If for example communication power is often normalized by assuming R to be a unity in Ohms, although R may be another value in actual circuit. If the actual value of the power is required, it is worked out by de-normalization of the normalized value. Use the above to determine the instantaneous power, given time interval to be (-4,4) and x = 2 + t2.
Suppose a power system consists of two isolated regions: a western region and an eastern region. Five units have been committed to supply 3090 MW as shown below. The two systems are separated by a transmission line that can handle a maximum transfer of 550 MW in either direction. If losses are ignored, calculate the spinning reserve for the overall system and for each region. Comment on the adequacy of the spinning reserve of the overall system, and for each region. (consider the effect on the power supply in each of the regions if the various generators fail). Repeat the above calculations and analysis if an average of 8% of the output of the generators is lost in the transmission and distribution system before reaching the load.
A generating station has a maximum demand of 10 MW. Calculate the cost per unit generated from the following data: Annual load factor = 35% Capital cost = Rs 12,50,000 Annual cost of fuel and oil = Rs 8,00,000 Taxes, wages and salaries = Rs 7,00,000 Interest and depreciation = 10%
A coal-fired steam power station working at a plant load factor of 80 % has one 500 MW generating unit. If the heat content of coal is 2 kWh/kg, the overall plant efficiency is 40 % and a train load off coal is 2000 metric tons, find the number of trains coal required daily for the plant.
