Following insertion of a nasogastric tube before surgery, which method is most accurate for the nurse to ascertain that the tube is properly placed?

Question 4. (10 Points). PTDF: In the Table below mark the factors, which can impact DC based PTDFs and AC based PTDF. Please label your answers using letters A-J to detail their position in the table.   Bus voltage magnitude  Bus voltage angle Generation unit commitment Transmission topology Series capacitors bank DC PTDFs A) B) C) D) E) AC PTDFs F) G) H I) J)

Question 6 (20 Points). There are two generators in a system and the load is 1000MW.   Variables: G1: Real power generated by generator 1; G2: Real power generated by generator 2 U1: Unit commitment (binary) variable representing generator 1 (U = 1: On, U = 0: off) U2: Unit commitment (binary) variable representing generator 2 (U = 1: On, U = 0: off) Costs: The cost function of Generator 1 is: 30G1 + 10000U1 The cost function of Generator 2 is: 80G2 + 3000U2 Solve the following problem to determine the values of G1, G2, U1, U2, and Total Cost.   Minimize: 30G1 + 80G2 + 10000U1 + 3000U2 Subject to: 100*U1 ≤ G1 ≤ 500*U1 250*U2 ≤ G2 ≤ 1200*U2 G1 + G2 = 1000   U1

Part 5.1 (15 point): Calculate the PTDF matrix considering Bus D as the reference bus.
