figure. The nature of transformer connections and phase shifts are indicated for all
but one transformer
Which of the following connections, and the corresponding phase shift θ, should be
used for the transformer between A and B ?
(A) Star-star ( 0 )θ = %
(B) Star-Delta ( )30θ =− %
(C) Delta-star ( )30θ = %
(D) Star-Zigzag ( )30θ = %
SOL 1.3 a Equal Phase shift of point A & B with respect to source from both bus paths.
So the type of transformer Y-Y with angle 0c.
Hence (A) is correct option.
MCQ 1.4 The incremental cost curves in Rs/MWhr for two generators supplying a common
load of 700 MW are shown in the figures. The maximum and minimum generation
limits are also indicated. The optimum generation schedule is :
(A) Generator A : 400 MW, Generator B : 300 MW
(B) Generator A : 350 MW, Generator B : 350 MW
(C) Generator A : 450 MW, Generator B : 250 MW
(D) Generator A : 425 MW, Generator B : 275 MW
SOL 1.4 Given incremental cost curve

PUBLISHING FOR GATE
P PA B+ 700= MW
For optimum generator ?PA = , ?PB =
a From curve, maximum incremental cost for generator A
600= at 450 MW
and maximum incremental cost for generator B
800= at 400 MW
minimum incremental cost for generator B
650= at 150 MW
a Maximim incremental cost of generation A is less than the minimum incremental
constant of generator B. So generator A operate at its maximum load 450= MW
for optimum generation.
PA 450= MW
PB (700 450)= −
250= MW
Hence (C) is correct option.
MCQ 1.5 Two regional systems, each having several synchronous generators and loads are
inter connected by an ac line and a HVDC link as shown in the figure. Which of

(A) Both regions need not have the same frequency

controlled the HDVC converters alone
(C) The power sharing between the ac line and the HVDC link can be changed by
controlling the HDVC converters alone.
(D) The directions of power flow in the HVDC link (Pdc) cannot be reversed
SOL 1.5 Here power sharing between the AC line and HVDC link can be changed by
controlling the HVDC converter alone because before changing only grid angle we
can change the power sharing between the AC line and HVDC link.
MCQ 1.6 Considered a bundled conductor of an overhead line consisting of three identical
sub-conductors placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle as shown in the
figure. If we neglect the charges on the other phase conductor and ground, and
assume that spacing between sub-conductors is much larger than their radius, the
maximum electric field intensity is experienced at
(A) Point X (B) Point Y

SOL 1.6 We have to find out maximum electric field intensity at various points. Electric
field intensity is being given by as follows

MCQ 1.20 “Six MOSFETs connected in a bridge configuration (having no other power device)
must be operated as a Voltage Source Inverter (VSI)”. This statement is

MCQ 1.32 Consider the two power systems shown in figure A below, which are initially not
interconnected, and are operating in steady state at the same frequency. Separate
load flow solutions are computed individually of the two systems, corresponding to
this scenario. The bus voltage phasors so obtain are indicated on figure A.
These two isolated systems are now interconnected by a short transmission line as
shown in figure B, and it is found that P P Q Q 01 2 1 2= = = = .
The bus voltage phase angular difference between generator bus X and generator
bus Y after interconnection is
