Which of the following is not necessarily an advantage of interconnecting various power stations?
Correct answer: A. Improved frequency of power supplied
- A. Improved frequency of power supplied
- B. Reduction in total installed capacity
- C. Increased reliability
- D. Economy in operation of plants
Explanation
Interconnection commonly improves reliability, permits economy of operation and reduces the required total installed or reserve capacity. Improved supply frequency is not an automatic consequence, since it depends on governors, controls and generation-load balance.
