1.
Prepare a MIND MAP for Load curve analysis.
[10 Marks]
2.
A proposed station has the following daily load cycle:
Time in hours 6-10 10-13 13-16 16-18 18-20 20-24 24-6
Load in MW 30 70 50 60 50 70 40
Draw the load duration curve and select suitable generator units from the 10 MW,
20 MW, 30 MW and 50 MW. Prepare the operation schedule for the machines
selected and determine the load factor from the curve and reserve capacity of the
plant.
[5 Marks]
3.
