A three-phase transmission line has resistance and inductive reactance of 25V and 90V, respectively. With no load at the receiving end, a synchronous compensator there takes a current lagging by 90; the voltage is 145 kV at the sending end and 132 kV at the receiving end. Calculate the value of the current taken by the compensator. When the load at the receiving end is 50MW, it is found that the line can operate with unchanged voltages at the sending and receiving ends, provided that the compensator takes the same current as before, but now leading by 90. Calculate the reactive power of the load
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.
