Q34: A power system consist of 300 buses out of which 20 buses are generator bus, 25 buses are the ones with reactive power support and 15 buses are the ones with fixed shunt capacitors.

Q35: A power system consists of 2 areas (Area 1 and Area 2) connected by a single tie line. It is required to carry out a load flow study on this system. While entering the network data, the tie-line data (connectivity and parameters) is inadvertently left out. If the load flow program is run with this incomplete data     (2002)
(a)  The load-flow will converge only if the slack bus is specified in Area 1
(b) The load-flow will converge only if the slack bus is specified in Area 2
(c) The load-flow will converge if the slack bus is specified in either Area 1 or Area 2
(d) The load-flow will not converge if only one slack bus is specified.
Ans: 
(d)
Sol: For load flow study to converge there must be one slack bus in the system. As while entering the network data the tie-line data is not considered, two areas will now be treated as separate areas, hence, two slack bus (one in each area) is required.
