Explain the effect of load factor on unit energy cost.

Compare peak load and base load plants.

Draw and explain the scheme of wind power generation.

How pumped storage plant is advantageous during peak loads? Describe the factor which are considered for selection of site for thermal power station.

A 1000 MW powers station delivers 1000 MW for 2 hours, 500 MW for 6 hours and is shut down for rest of each day. It is also shut down for maintenance for 60 days annually. Calculate its annual load factor. Also explain, how power factor can be improved using synchronous condensers?

Discuss the impact of nuclear and gas power plant an environment. Draw and explain the scheme of solar energy generation also discuss the current energy scenario of India.

What is depreciation curve? Define the method to calculate the depreciation charges. How power factor affects when kW demand is constant and in other case kVA demands is constant.

An Industrial consumer has single phase 230V supply. His monthly energy consumption is 2020 kWh. A maximum demand indicator installed at his premises indicates 40A which is charged at unity power factor for 2 hours daily at ₹ 3.50 per kWh. The remaining units are charged at 1.80 per kWh. Find his monthly bill (for 30 days) and average tariff per kWh.
