Q-V (reactive power Vs. voltage) control loops.
12. (a) Draw the transfer function block diagram for a two area system provided
with governor control and obtain the steady state frequency error
following a step road change in both the areas.

Or
(b) The data pertaining to a single area power system with linear
load frequency characteristic are as follows. Rated Capacity = 2000 MW.

regulation = 0.03 pu, Load damping factor = 1 pu, Normal
Frequency = 50Hz. Governor Time constant a sec and Turbine time
constant = 0 sec. For a sudden change in load of 20 MW, determine the
steady state frequency deviation and the change in generation in MW
and reduction in original load in MW.

commitment problem with neat flaw chart.

generation. The maximum and the minimum loading on each unit are
100MW and 25MW. Assume the transmission losses are ignored and the
total demands 180MW.

system and explain the application of SCADA in monitoring and control
of power system.
