2 Explain Automatic Voltage Regulator with neat sketch. 7
3 What is Tariff? What are its objectives? Give desirable characteristics of tariff. 8
4 A consumer has a maximum demand of 200 kW at 40 % load factor. If the tariff is 5
Rs. 100 per kW of maximum demand plus 10 paise per kWh, find the overall cost
per kWh?
5 Explain static excitation system for modern power plant alternators. 7
6 Explain the working of AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) in detail with suitable 7
diagram.
7 Starting with a general equation of power tariff, describe its various types. Discuss 7
how 
can we devise a tariff which will discourage the consumers from maintaining poor
power factor?
8 A  industrial  consumer  having  a  maximum  demand  of  100KW, maintains  a  load 7
factor of 60%. The tariff rates are: Rs. 75per KVA of maximum demand per annum
plus 15 paise per kwh of energy consumed. If the average p.f. is 0.8 lag, calculate the
total energy consumed per annum and the annual electricity bill. 
9 Define tariffs. Explain any three types of tariffs in detail. 6
10 An industrial consumer has an annual energy consumption of 201500 KWh at a load 8
factor of 0.35. The tariff is Rs. 4000 + Rs. 1200 per KW of maximum demand + Rs.
2.20 per KWh. a) Find his annual bill. b) What is the bill if total energy consumption
is   the   same   but   load   factor   improved   to   0.55.   c)   What   is   the   bill   if   energy
consumption is reduced by 25% and load factor remains at the same initial value of
0.35. d) Find average energy cost in each case.

1.25 per kWh for all additional kWh. Estimate his annual bill & equivalent flat rate.
20 State types of tariff. Explain any two of them in detail. 7
21 Explain working of Automatic voltage Regulator with a suitable block diagram. 7

for next 8 hours and 1 kw for the remaining time. If tariff is Rs. 100 per kw of max.
demand per annum plus 5 paise per kwh. Find the electricity bill for 365 days.
23 Enumerate various types of Tariffs. Explain any two of them in details. 7

27 What is tariff? What are its objectives? Name different tariffs and explain types of 8
power factor tariff.
28 The annual consumption of a consumer is 1500x103 units and the annual load factor 6
is 40%. If the load factor improves to 100%, What will be the saving in average unit
cost? The two part tariff is as under ­ Rs. 110 per KW per year + 10 paise per kwh
