Electrical Engineering XYZ MCQs
Which power plant cannot have single unit of 100 MW capacity:
- Nuclear power plant
- Steam power plant
- Diesel engine plant
- Hydro electric power plant
Correct answer: 3. Diesel engine plant
Explanation: Diesel engine plants are generally smaller in scale compared to nuclear or steam power plants. They are commonly used for decentralized power generation or in locations where grid connection is not feasible. The individual diesel engines in such plants typically have lower capacities compared to other types of power plants. While diesel engines can be combined to achieve higher capacities, it’s uncommon for a single diesel engine to have a capacity of 100 MW due to practical limitations. Thus, a diesel engine plant cannot have a single unit of 100 MW capacity.
