A power station is to supply four regions of loads whose peak values are 10,000 kW, 5000 kW, 8000 kW and 7000 kW. The diversity factor of the load at the station is 1.5 and the average annual load factor is 60%. Calculate the maximum demand on the station and annual energy supplied from the station.

Your company is considering the installation of a 2 MW wind turbine with a rotor diameter of 90 m in a location with average wind v = 8.5 m/s. The turbine has a cut-in velocity of 5 m/s and a cut-out velocity of 25 m/s. The capacity factor is 0.45. The installed cost of the turbine is $3,500,000. Operating expenses are $225,000 per year. The system has a power coefficient (electric power generated divided by wind power) of 0.45. What price would you have to get for the electricity you produce to obtain a 10% return on the plant investment assuming a project lifetime of 20 years? Use the tables for the cumulative wind power distribution in the notes on wind probability to answer this question. Assume an air density of 1.225 kg/m3.

An industrial assembly hall is continuously lightedby one hundred 40-W mercury vapor lamps suppliedby a 120-V and 60-Hz source with a power factor of0.65. Due to the low power factor, a 25 percent penaltyis applied at billing. If the average price of 1 kWh is$0.01 and the capacitor’s average price is $50 permillifarad, compute after how many days of operationthe penalty billing covers the price of the power factorcorrection capacitor. (To avoid penalty, the powerfactor must be greater than 0.85.)
