A consumer has an annual consumption of 1764000 kwhr. The tariff is Rs 800 per kW of maximum demand + Rs 1.2 per kWhr.

Find his yearly bill and Overall cost per kWh if the load factor is 36 %. Also find overall cost per kW if the annual consumption is reduced by 20 % with the same load factor. Answer : Load factor= Energy consumed/(maximum demand* time) this means 0.36 = 1764000/( maximum demand*8760) maximum demand= 560 kW Now yearly bill is based on total yearly consumption, which is equal to 1764000*1.2 Yearly Bill= Rs.2116800 Overall cost= 800*560 + 2116800=2564800

If consumption is reduced by 20 %, new consumption is 17640000.2*176400=1411200 kWh So maximum demand now will be 448 kW Yearly bill = 1411200*1.2 = Rs 1693440 Overall cost is 800*448 + 1693440 =2051840 Q2. The load curve of an electrical system is linear with the following values Plot the load duration curve.

Delhi's per capita power demand is the highest in the country, averaging 3,350 MWs each year, and its electricity consumption stands at 1,500 units per person

The state-run Rajghat Power House, Indraprastha Power Station, Gas Turbine Station, Pragati Power Plant and Badarpur Thermal Power Station together produce 1,400 to 1,500 MW for Delhi, while the rest is supplied by four 400/220 kV grids each at Mandola, Bamnauli, Bawana and Same Pur. In December 2010, the installed power generation capacity of India stood at 165,000 MW[10] and per capita energy consumption stood at 704 kWh in 2008-09. Total installed capacity of India 1,76,990.40 MW Power generation capability of India 132 GW Installed Capacity in Million Watts Coal 73492.38 Diesel 1201.75 Gas 14581.71 Total 89275.84 Wind and Renewable Energy 10175.03 Nuclear 4120.00 Hydro 34680.76 Grand Total 138251.63 Various upcomg power staions in Delhi http://thermalpower.industryfocus.net/index.php/industry-overview/342-list-of-upcoming-thermal-plants-inindia.html

In India, the first HVDC line in Rihand-Delhi in 1991 i.e. I 500 KV, 800Mkl, 1000 KM. In Maharashtra in between Chandrapur & Padaghe at 1500 KV & 1000MV. Global HVDC transmission capacity has increase from 20 MW in 1954 to 17.9 GWin 1984. Now the growth of DC transmission capacity has reached an average of 2500MW/year.
