QUESTION
A three-phase, 60-Hz, completely transposed 345-kV, 200-km line has two 795,000-cmil
26/2 ACSR conductors per bundle and the following positive sequence line constants:
z = 0.032 + j 0.35 / km
y = j 4.2 × 10 6
S / km
Full load at receiving end of the line is 700 MW at 0.99 p.f. leading and 95% of rated voltage.
Assuming a medium-length line, determine the following:
SOLUTION
1
A = D = 1 + (8.4 × 10 4
90 0 )(70.29 84.87 0 )( )
2
= 1 + 0.02952 174.78 = 0.9706 + j 0.00269
0
B = Z = 70.29 84.78 0
C = (8.4 × 10 4
90 0 )(1 + 0.01476 174.78 0 )
= (8.4 × 10 4
90 0 )(0.9853 + j 0.00134)
= 8.277 × 10 4
90.08 0 S
I S = (8.277 × 10 4
90.08 0 )(189.2 0 0 ) + (0.9706 0.159 0 )(1.246 8.110 )
= 1.196 + j 0.331 = 1.241 15.5 0
356.3 327.8
VR (%) = × 100 = 8.7%
327.8
4- The full-load line losses are Ps - Pr =730.5 - 700=30.5 MW and the full-load transmission
efficiency is:
PR 700
Eff = × 100 = × 100 = 95.8%
PS 730.5
