01․ Fault calculations using computer are usually done by
Y bus method
Z bus method
either 1 or 2
none of the above

Y bus matrix is a sparse matrix, containing more number of zero elements. So that faster calculation is possible. The Y bus matrix is used for the load flow studies. Z bus algorithm or matrix is used for the fault analysis. Inverse of Y bus matrix gives the Z bus matrix, But Z matrix is a full matrix even though Y bus is a sparse matrix. More time is required for inverse of Z bus matrix if the size of the matrix is more than three.

02․ The main advantage of the Decoupled Load Flow (DLF) as compared to the NR method is
number of iterations are less
accuracy is more
reduced memory requirements in storing the Jacobian elements
all of the above

The main advantage of the Decoupled Load Flow (DLF) as compared to the NR method is its reduced memory requirements in storing the Jacobian elements. Storing of the Jacobian and matrix triangularisation is saved by a factor 4, that is an overall saving of 30 - 40 % on the formal Newton load flow. Computation time per iteration is less than the Newton method. However, the DLF takes more number of iterations to converge because of approximation made.

03․ The draw back of NR method as compare to Gauss-Seidel method is/are?
large requirement of computer memory
large number of iterations
both 1 and 2
none of the above

Advantages of N-R method: 1. Number of iterations are less, so that it has fast convergence. 2. Convergence is not effected by the choice of slack bus. 3. No need of accelerating factor. 4. Applicable for large power system network. Disadvantages of N-R method: 1. Time taken for each iteration is larger if size of the Jacobian matrix is larger. 2. Computer memory required is larger. 3. Computer programming is difficult.

04․ Which of the following method is/are more reliable?
Gauss-Siedel (GS) method
Newton Raphson (NR) method
Fast Decoupled Load Flow (FDLF) method
all of the above

In FDLF method usually two to five iterations are required for practical accuracies. The method is more reliable than the formal NR method. The speed for iterations is about five times that of the formal NR method or about two thirds of the GS method. Storage requirements are about 60 percent of the formal NR method, but slightly more than the DLF method.

05․ Per unit of any quantity is defined as
actual value of quantity /base value of quantity in same units
actual value of quantity /base value of quantity in different units
base value of quantity /actual value of quantity in same units
base value of quantity /actual value of quantity in different units

Per unit of any quantity is defined as the ratio of an actual value of quantity to the base value of the quantity in same units. Per unit of any quantity = Actual value of quantity /Base value of quantity in same units.

06․ Advantage/s of per unit system as compare to absolute system?
only one equation is required
calculation time is less
memory required is less
all of the above

Advantages of per unit system: 1. Only one equation is required 2. Calculation can be done simultaneously 3. Calculation time is less 4. No units for any quantity 5. No need of transformation ratio 6. Memory required is less
