Solution and Explanation
Given:
\[
\lambda = 7400 \, \text{Rs/MWh}
\]
Incremental cost equations:
\begin{align*}
I_{CA}(P_{GA}) = \frac{2000}{100} P_{GA} + 8000
I_{CB}(P_{GB}) &= 40P_{GB} + 6000
\lambda &= I_{CA} = I_{CB} = 7400
2000P_{GA} + 8000 &= 7400
P_{GA} &= -600
P_{GA} &> 0
P_{GB} &= \frac{7400 - 6000}{40} = 35
P_{GA} + P_{GB} &= 35 \text{ MW} \end{align*} Final Answer: The common load is \( 35 \, \text{MW} \). % Quick tip
I_{CB}(P_{GB}) &= 40P_{GB} + 6000
\lambda &= I_{CA} = I_{CB} = 7400
2000P_{GA} + 8000 &= 7400
P_{GA} &= -600
P_{GA} &> 0
P_{GB} &= \frac{7400 - 6000}{40} = 35
P_{GA} + P_{GB} &= 35 \text{ MW} \end{align*} Final Answer: The common load is \( 35 \, \text{MW} \). % Quick tip

- A single-phase full bridge voltage source inverter (VSI) feeds a purely inductive load. The inverter output voltage is a square wave in \( 180^\circ \) conduction mode. The fundamental frequency of the output voltage is \( 50 \, \text{Hz} \). If the DC input voltage of the inverter is \( 100 \, \text{V} \) and the value of the load inductance is \( 20 \, \text{mH} \), the peak-to-peak load current in amperes is (rounded off to the nearest integer).
- A single-phase half-controlled bridge converter supplies an inductive load with ripple-free load current. The triggering angle of the converter is \( 60^\circ \). The ratio of the rms value of the fundamental component of the input current to the rms value of the total input current of the bridge is (rounded off to 3 decimal places).

- A single-phase full-controlled thyristor converter bridge is used for regenerative braking of a separately excited DC motor with the following specifications: Rated armature voltage = \( 210 \, \text{V} \), Rated armature current = \( 10 \, \text{A} \), Rated speed = \( 1200 \, \text{rpm} \), Armature resistance = \( 1 \, \Omega \), Input to the converter bridge = \( 240 \, \text{V at 50 Hz} \). Assume that the motor is running at \( 600 \, \text{rpm} \) and the armature terminals of the motor are suitably reversed for regenerative braking. If the armature current of the motor is to be maintained at the rated value, the triggering angle of the converter bridge in degrees should be (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|} \hline Parameter & Value
\hline Rated armature voltage & 210 V
\hline Rated armature current & 10 A
