electric power system when the total real or reactive power of the power plants in the system is insufficient to supply all consumers with electric power of the required quality. A shortage of real power can result in a lowering of frequency throughout the power system and can ultimately lead to a breakdown condition. The breakdown condition can be prevented by connecting additional (spare) generators to the system or by disconnecting some of the consumers. A shortage of reactive power causes a voltage

Advantages and Disadvantages of Renewable Fuels Solar Energy: Advantages: -Energy is free although there is a building cost. -Causes no pollution‚ however‚ energy may go into machines that produce pollution. -Solar energy can be used in remote areas where it is too expensive to extend the electricity power grid. -Estimated that the worlds oil reserves will last for 30-40 years whereas solar energy is infinite. Disadvantages: -Solar energy can only be harnessed when it is daytime

comparative advantage: The theory provides a basis for explaining and justifying international trade in a model world assumed to enjoy free trade‚ perfect competition‚ no uncertainty‚ costless information‚ and no government interference. 5. Limitations of comparative advantage: a. Countries do not appear to specialize only on those products that could be most efficiently produced by that country’s particular factors of production. b. Governments interfere with comparative advantage for a variety

&CHAPTER 7 Power Flow Analysis 7.1 INTRODUCTION Power flow analysis is concerned with describing the operating state of an entire power system‚ by which we mean a network of generators‚ transmission lines‚ and loads that could represent an area as small as a municipality or as large as several states. Given certain known quantities—typically‚ the amount of power generated and consumed at different locations—power flow analysis allows one to determine other quantities. The most important
