Answer and Explanation:
The explanation is attached below
A generator operating at 50 Hz delivers 1 pu power to an infinite bus through a transmission circuit in which resistance is igno
red. A fault takes place reducing the maximum power transferable to 0.5 pu whereas before the fault, this power was 2.0 pu and after the clearance of the fault, it is 1.5 pu. Using equal area criterion, determine the critical clearing angle.

Answer:
critical clearing angle = 70.3°
Explanation:
Generator operating at = 50 Hz
power delivered = 1 pu
power transferable when there is a fault = 0.5 pu
power transferable before there is a fault = 2.0 pu
power transferable after fault clearance = 1.5 pu
using equal area criterion to determine the critical clearing angle
Attached is the power angle curve diagram and the remaining part of the solution.
The power angle curve is given as
= Pmax sinβ
therefore : 2sinβo = Pm
2sinβo = 1
sinβo = 0.5 pu
βo = ⁰
also ; 1.5sinβ1 = 1
sinβ1 = 1/1.5
β1 = = 41.81⁰
∴ βmax = 180 - 41.81 = 138.19⁰
attached is the remaining solution
The critical clearing angle = ≈ 70.3⁰

Answer:
Half-wave rectifier converts an AC signal into a DC signal. It's called a half-wave because it only rectify the positive part of an AC signal.
AC Signal = An electrical signal that alternates between positive and negative voltage.
DC Signal = An electrical signal that only has positive voltage.
Rectify = A fancy word for converting something.
Adding a capacitor helps the positive part of the signal stay on longer. This work because the capacitor stores energy kinda like a battery. During the negative part of the AC signal, the energy stored in the capacitor will be drained and used, then the cycle repeats.
The load resistor is just there to prevent a short circuit from happening.
