(C) PG1 = 100 MW; PG2 = 150 MW
(D) PG1 = 0 MW; PG2 = 250 MW
Sol. 52 Hence (C) is correct option
Given PG1 + PG2 = 250 MW ...(1)
C1 (PG1) = PG1 + 0.055PG12

C2 (PG2) = 3PG2 + 0.03PG22
from equation (2)
dC1 = 1 + 0.11PG1 ...(3a)
dPG1
and dC2 = 3 + 0.06PG2 ...(3b)

Since the system is loss-less
Therefore dC1 = dC2
dPG1 dPG2

Q.1 - Q.20 carry one mark each.

. Y' (s) = e - 2st Y (s)

Sol. 5 According to CAYLEY-HAMILTON Theorem every non-singular square matrix

Output voltage V0 = 10 sin wt # 10 = 5 sin wt

Q.21 to Q.75 carry two marks each.

(A) 1/9 s (B) 1/4 s

(A) 1 rad/s (B) 2 rad/s

For resonance Im (Z) = 0

w no. of turns n = 300

(A) 0.31 A (B) 1.25 A

Sol. 26 By writing node equations at node A and B

and (- 1, - 1, 0) respectively. The total electric flux passing through a plane

X (jw) = F [x (t)] = p rect` w j, - a < w < a

So, Y (jw) = K rect ` w j

bk = 2ak cos kwt0

Q. 33 Given X (z) = z with z > a , the residue of X (z) zn - 1 at z = a

Sol. 33 Hence (D) is correct option.

Q. 37 A differential equation dx/dt = e - 2t u (t), has to be solved using trapezoidal rule

#- 3 x (t) e- jwt dt + #- 3 x (- t) e- jwt dt

(A) Vc1 = 10 V,Vc2 = 5 V

According to given transfer characteristics of rectifiers output of rectifier P is.

Similarly output of rectifier Q is

Output of a full wave rectifier is given as

TON + TON TON + TON

TON TON + TON

Sol. 44 In this case

Sol. 46 Hence ( ) is correct option.

Q. 49 The core of a two-winding transformer is subjected to a magnetic flux variation

During time 1 < t < 2

Q. 50 Voltages phasors at the two terminals of a transmission line of length 70 km have

So from equations (3a) and (3b)

We have 0.11PG1 - 0.06PG2 = 2 ...(4)

Distribution company’s policy requires radial system operation with minimum

On removing (e1); losses = (1) 2 R + (1 + 2) 2 R + (1 + 2 + 5) 2 R

. Power factor = Distortion factor # cos a

w power factor = 0.9 # cos 30c

Q. 58 A 220 V, 1400 rpm, 40 A separately excited dc motor has an armature resistance

(A) 6.37 A (B) 10 A

for starting torque Sm = 1

w DF = Ia1 = 0.78 # 10 = 0.955

In the given diagram

Hence (A) is correct option.

Similarly for C2 , phase is

qC2 = tan- 1 a w k - tan- 1 (w)

Hence (A) is correct option

The range of K for which the system is stable will be given by

Applying Routh’s stability criteria

(A) q (w2 t) = A sin w2 t, w2 = 2w1 (B) q (w2 t) = A sin w2 t, w2 = w1 /2

fY meeting points of horizontal tangents

Common Data for Questions 71, 72 and 73:

Given that: Vs1 = Vs2 = 1 + j0 p.u ;

© ` 0 = Ae- (R/L) t + 2 Vm cos (wt 0 - a)

Q. 72 The rms value of the component of fault current (If ) will be

` Fault current I f = 49.8 # 100

` Ia1 (pu) = 1.0+0c

So Fault current I f = 29.85 # 100

Common Data for Questions 74 and 75:

Hence (A) is correct option.
