10 M
3(b) What is reactive power planning? What are the methods used for reactive power planning?
10 M

4(a) Consider a system contaning five units of 40 MW each with a forced outage rate of 0.01. Prepare the capacity outage table for the system. Find Loss of Load Expectation (LOLE) and risk factor if the peak load is 180 MW and base load is 40% of peak load.
10 M
4(b) Derive a general expression for the unreliability of model shown in figure below and hence evaluate the unreliability of the system if all component have a reliability of 0.8.
