Question Statement
No. s
1 Explain brushless Excitation system for modern alternators. 6
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.
11 Explain principle and working of AVR. 7
12 Explain brushless excitation system for modern alternators. 7
13 Explain working of a automatic voltage regulator with a suitable block diagram. 7
14 Define tariff. Explain various tariffs. 7
15 Daily load of an industry is 200 kw for first one hour, 150 kw for next 7 hours, 50 7
kw 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.
16 Explain working of brushless thyristor excitation system in brief. 7
17 Explain Exciter instability. 6
18 Explain ARV in detail with suitable diagram. 7
19 Maximum Demand of consumer is 30A at 220 V and his total energy consumption is 6
9750 kWh. If the energy is charge at the rate of Rs. 1 kWh for first 500 hrs, plus Rs.
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
22 Daily load of an industry is 200kw for first one hours, 150kw for next 7 hours, 50kw 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
24 Explain the working of brushless thyristor excitation system in brief. 7
25 Explain the Brushless excitation system for modern alternators. 7
26 Write short note on Automatic voltage regulator. 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
