Question 2 The power that can be transferred by a line is, usually, limited by the reactive power resources. A line has a series reactance X=100 and the voltage at the beginning of the line is U1=115 kV. The reactive power at the end of the line is Q2=0. Derive the expressions for power transferred and reactive power Q1as the function of voltage angle . How much smaller is the maximum transferred power compared to a case where the necessary reactive power could be fed to the end of the line?

Question 3: (for help, see Power System Analysis by Grainger, ch. 16 or other book) A generator having H = 6.0 MJ/MVA is delivering power of 1.0 per unit to an infinite bus through a purely reactive network when the occurrence of a fault reduces the generator output to zero. The maximum power that could be delivered is 2.5 per unit. When the fault is cleared, the original network conditions again exist. Determine the critical angle and critical clearing time. Hint: For clearing time, H= Wk/P & Wk = 1 2J 2if using equation from lecture slides

Question 4 A 60-Hz generator is supplying 60% of Pmaxto an infinite bus through a reactive network. A fault occurs which increases the reactance of the network between the generator internal voltage and the infinite bus by 400%. When the fault is cleared, the maximum power that can be delivered is 80% of the original maximum value. Determine the critical clearing angle for the condition described.
Question 4: (for help, see Power System Analysis by Grainger, ch. 16 or other book) Power-angle curve A before a fault, B during the fault, and C after the fault such that A = Pmaxsin , B =k1A, and C = k2A, with k1< k2.
