SOLUTIONS

S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. ACQ: The Jacobian size is 100×100 & the system has 20 PV buses in which slack bus is not included. i.e., one slack bus is present apart from this.
If n=number of buses & m=PV or generator buses, then
∴ Size of Jacobian matrix=(2n-m-2)×(2n-m-2)
⇒100×100=(2n-20-2)×(2n-20-2)
∵(2n-20-2)=100
⇒n=(100+22)/2=61

S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. Given that 5 generator buses, we need to assume with in the 5 buses one bus as slack bus.
If n=number of buses & m=PV or generator buses, then
Size of Jacobian matrix=(2n-m-1)×(2n-m-1)
=(2×25-5-1)×(2×25-5-1)=44×44.

S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Power dissipation P=I2R
