Problem 4: (a) (15 points): The parameters corresponding to a single PV cell at STC (1000 W/m2) are: Reverse saturation current, Io : 10-8 A, short circuit current, ISC: 9 A, thermal voltage, Vth  : 25.8mV.  The series and shunt resistances are neglected.  When 60 such cells are connected in series and operated under 750 W/m2 irradiance with the total voltage across the string maintained at 30 V, calculate the terminal (load) current and the power delivered to the load.   (b) (10 points): In a three-phase system the d and q axis voltages and currents respectively are as follows: vd = 500 V, vq = 0, id = 50 A, and iq = 50 A.  Calculate the peak value of phase a current, and calculate the active power and reactive power corresponding to this system.

There were some onions in a truck.  A worker took  3 5 of the onions out of the truck.  Another worker then took  3 4 of the remaining onions out of the truck.  A third worker then took all the rest of the onions out of the truck.  The third worker took out 250 pounds of onions.  How many pounds of onions were in the truck at the start? Show how to solve this problem in two way: with the aid of a strip diagram and with algebraic equations.  Briefly explain or indicate your reasoning in each case (e.g., by annotating your diagram and your equation).
