QUESTION 3 A 400 km, 138 kV, 60 Hz transmission line has the following distributed parameters: r = 0.106 02/km,x=0.493 2 /km, y=j3.36x10-6 S/km. Losses are neglected. (a) Compute the nominal equivalent circuit parameters and draw the circuit. Compute the corresponding ABCD parameters. (b) Find the surge impedance and surge impedance loading. (c) The line delivers 40 MW at 132 kV with a power factor of 0.95 lagging. Using the ABCD parameters, compute the sending end voltage, current and angle. Confirm using the nominal equivalent circuit, and the short line equivalent. (d) Draw the approximate voltage profile of this line for the following power delivered: 0 MW, 20 MW, 50 MW, and surge impedance loading. Indicate the methods available to maintain the voltages within the range of 0.95 and 1.05. 1/7
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.
