Question

if combined loss of electricity in the transmission and distribution network is 30% then how much mw of generation is required when the total power requirement of a city is 3000MW?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Totalpower generated = 4285.7MW

Explanation:

As per given data, power requirement for the city is 3000MW. This is the power after the transmission and distribution losses. It is also stated that those losses comprise 30% of the total power generated. It means out of 100% power generation, only 70% can be utilized for the city requirement.

Power required by city = Total Power generated * 70%

3000 = TPG x 0.7

TPG = 3000/0.7

TPG = 4285.7 MW
