Assignment 1 2020 PDF

This document contains an assignment for a high voltage engineering course consisting of 4 questions worth a total of 50 marks. Question 1 asks to explain different types of over voltages that can occur on high voltage power networks. Question 2 involves calculating the number of transmission line circuits and power losses required to transmit 2000MW of power over 500km using 220kV, 500kV, and 765kV alternatives. Question 3 involves calculations related to ripple voltage, factor, drop and average output of a 6-stage HVDC multiplier. Question 4 requires describing the merits and demerits of AC and DC transmission lines, how electrostatic precipitators work, and merits of electrospinning.

Question: 1 Marks (8)

Briefly explain different types of over voltages that impinge on the high voltage power network
during its service life.

Question: 2 Marks (16)


Power of 2000MW is to be transmitted from a coal fired power plant located at site A over 500
km distance to site B. Using ac 220KV, 500KV and 765KV alternatives suggest the number of
circuits required in each case.

(i) Also calculate total power loss per kilometer using average line parameters tabulated below
assuming the line operation under stability limit of δ=30o
(ii) ) Discuss the impacts of these results comparing different alternatives to transmit power to
this load center.
