A 100MW hydro-electric station is supplying full load for 10 hours in a day. The water is supplied from a reservoir of 1km2 surface area. Calculate the reduction in the water level of the reservoir in one day. Assume effective head of water as 200 m and efficiency of the the station is 80%.
The maximum demand of a power station is 110 MW. It generates 105 x 10 units during the day. The station has three units of 40 MW and another unit of 40 MW as spare. The running hours of the unit are as follows. The first unit of 40 MW runs for 24 hours. Another unit of 40 MW runs for 14 hours. A third unit of 40 MW runs for 4 hours. So Find (1) daily load factor (2) plant capacity factor (3) utilization factor and (4) plant use factor.
A power plant produces 1000MW to supply a city 40km away. Current flows from the power plant on a single wire with resistance through the city and returns via the ground, with negligible resistance. At the power plant the voltage between wire and ground is 115 kV. Determine: (a) the current in the wire, and (b) the fraction of the power lost in transmission.
