You have been employed as an electrical engineer by a power transmission company to design a short transmission line to supply power to a light-industrial load consumer with power system specification as follows, a 3-ph, 60Hz overhead short transmission line with a line-to-line voltage of 23KV at the load end, line impedance of 2.48 ±j6.57Ω/phase, the industry has a cumulative consumption of 9MW with a power factor of 0.85 of lagging as a result of several induction motor on its production lines. As part of the regulations for connections to the grid, you are to provide justifications and values to the Energy Commission of Ghana. (i) What would be value of the voltage between the live conductor and the neutral, between live and live voltages at the industrial premises of the factory? (ii) What load angle would expect the factory to be operating at?
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.
