Question: The network shown in Figure 1 5 7 represents the connection of a single - phase wind turbine driving an active load. The Thevenin's equivalent

The network shown in Figure 157 represents the connection of a single-phase wind turbine driving an active load. The Thevenin's equivalent for the generator is shown in the 'wind turbine' box. The time-domain expression for the generator voltage source is written as
EWT(t)=50cos(4t)V
The RLC network connected at A-B to the right of the turbine is a model of a known active load network with zero initial conditions. You are asked to calculate values for the following:
(a) the complex power hat(S) in volt-amperes (va), the average power Pavg in Watts, the reactive power Q in vars, and the power factor pf , and
(b) the type, value, and the connection at terminals A-B of the component that will correct the power factor to unity.
