Module 4
 
1.Write down various limits imposed by physical and electrical characteristics of electric power.
 
2.Pro-rata methods of congestion management are market-based methods. True or False.
 
3.Why TTC is different from transmission capacity?
 
4.Define Power Transfer Distribution Factor (PTDF).
 
5. In a power system, as more and more transactions are imposed on the base case, the ATC
 
  • a)keeps on decreasing
  • b)keeps on increasing
  • c)remains same
  • d) may decrease or increase
 
6. A certain network has 3 lines which are currently carrying 60 MW, 50 MW, and -80 MW respectively. (-ve sign indicates direction opposite to what we have initially assumed). The PTDF factors for a transaction between node m and n are 0.25, -0.3, 0.25, respectively. If maximum capacity of each line is 100 MW in either direction, what is the ATC between the nodes m and n.
 
7. The PTDF factors are calculated for a certain power network based on DC load flow model. Which of the following statements are true?
 
  • a) PTDF factors change if base case changes
  • b)  PTDF factors do not change even if base case changes
  • c)  PTDF factors change when new transactions are imposed
  • d)  PTDF factors do not change even if new transactions are imposed
 
8. The PTDF factors are calculated for a certain power network based on AC load flow model. Which of the following statements are true?
 
  • a) PTDF factors change if base case changes
  • b)  PTDF factors do not change even if base case changes
  • c)  PTDF factors change when new transactions are imposed
  • d)  PTDF factors do not change even if new transactions are imposed
 
 
9. Explain in brief what do you understand by following terms: TTC, ATC, TRM
 
 
10.Theoretically, what is the maximum numerical value the PTDF can take?
