A three-phase overhead transmission line operating at 50 Hz consists of ACSR Drake conductors. The conductor configuration is in the form of an isosceles triangle with sides 20, 20, and 40 ft. (a) Find the capacitance-to-neutral and capacitive reactance-to-neutral for each 1-mile length of line (b) For a line length of 180 mi and a normal operating voltage of 220 kV, determine the capacitive reactance- to-neutral for the entire line length as well as the charging current per mile and total three-phase reactive power supplied by the line capacitance.
Short Transmission Line
A short transmission line is a transmission line that has a length less than 80 kilometers, an operating voltage level of less than 20 kV, and zero capacitance effect.
Power Flow Analysis
Power flow analysis is a topic in power engineering. It is the flow of electric power in a system. The power flow analysis is preliminary used for the various components of Alternating Current (AC) power, such as the voltage, current, real power, reactive power, and voltage angles under given load conditions and is often known as a load flow study or load flow analysis.
Complex Form
A power system is defined as the connection or network of the various components that convert the non-electrical energy into the electric form and supply the electric form of energy from the source to the load. The power system is an important parameter in power engineering and the electrical engineering profession. The powers in the power system are primarily categorized into two types- active power and reactive power.
