Q#1 Transmission and Distribution GATE EE 2025 (Set 1) NAT +1 mark -0 marks

Consider a distribution feeder, with  ratio of 5. At the receiving end, a 350 kVA load is connected. The maximum voltage drop will occur from the sending end to the receiving end, when the power factor of the load is ________ (round off to three decimal places).

Explanation:

 

For maximum voltage drop,

Load power factor angle

 

Q#2 Transmission and Distribution GATE EE 2025 (Set 1) NAT +2 marks -0 marks

Using shunt capacitors, the power factor of a 3 -phase, 4 kV induction motor (drawing 390 kVA at 0.77 pf lag) is to be corrected to 0.85 pf lag. The line current of the capacitor bank, in A, is _________  (round off to one decimal place).

Explanation:

Induction Motor: ,

 

After correcting capacitor bank, .

From above phasor,  complex power drawn by motor

 complex power drawn by total Load (motor + capacitor bank)

Reactive power supplies by capacitor,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Line current of capacitor bank =9.05 A

Q#4 Transmission and Distribution GATE EE 2024 (Set 1) MCQ +2 marks -0.66 marks

For the three-bus lossless power network shown in the figure, the voltage magnitudes at all the buses are equal to 1 per unit , and the differences of the voltage phase angles are very small. The line reactances are marked in the figure, where , and  are strictly positive. The bus injections  and  are in pu. If , where , and the real power flow from bus 1 to bus 2 is , then which one of the following options is correct?

Explanation:

Since the phase angle differences are very small

Given,

Q#5 Transmission and Distribution GATE EE 2023 (Set 1) NAT +1 mark -0 marks

A  line of length  has the following parameters:

Resistance,

Inductance, ;

Capacitance,

The line is represented by the nominal-  model. With the magnitudes of the sending end and the receiving end voltages of the line (denoted by  and , respectively) maintained at , the phase angle difference  between  and  required for maximum possible active power to be delivered to the receiving end, in degree is ________ (Round off to 2 decimal places).

Explanation:

The expression for active power delivered to receiving end is,

For maximum value of PR

Phase shift b/w Vs & VR δ = β

For nominal π-model, ABCD parameter are given by

L = 1 mH/km × 400 km = 400 mH = 0.4 H

R = 0.035 Ω/Km × 400 km = 14Ω
