Sending end from A = 0.98∠0.3°, B = 110∠75°

Short answer

The sending-end line voltage is 164.27 kV with power angle 9.25°. Sending-end powers are 43.69 MW and 35.76 MVAr. Line losses are 3.69 MW and the line absorbs 5.76 MVAr.

A three phase 132 kV overhead line delivers 50 MVA at 132 kV and power factor 0.8 lagging at its receiving end. The constants of the line are A = 0.98∠0.3° and B = 110∠75° ohms per phase. Find (a) sending end voltage and power angle (b) sending end active and reactive power (c) line losses and VARs absorbed by the line.

Data: A=0.98∠0.3∘A = 0.98\angle0.3^\circ, B=110∠75∘ ΩB = 110\angle75^\circ\ \Omega, load 50 MVA at 0.8 lag at 132 kV, i.e. SR=40+j30S_R = 40 + j30 MVA. D=AD = A is assumed (symmetrical line).

(a) Sending-end voltage and power angle

∣VS∣|V_S| (line) =3×94.84=164.27= \sqrt3\times94.84 = 164.27 kV, power angle δ=9.25∘\delta = 9.25^\circ.

(b) Sending-end active and reactive power

With 0.98×164.272110=240.41\frac{0.98\times164.27^2}{110} = 240.41, 164.27×132110=197.12\frac{164.27\times132}{110} = 197.12, β−α=74.7∘\beta-\alpha = 74.7^\circ, β+δ=84.25∘\beta+\delta = 84.25^\circ:

(Check with the receiving-end equations at δ=9.25∘\delta = 9.25^\circ: PR=40.00P_R = 40.00 MW, QR=30.00Q_R = 30.00 MVAr.)

(c) Line losses and VARs absorbed

Answer: (a) VSV_S = 164.27 kV, δ = 9.25°; (b) PSP_S = 43.69 MW, QSQ_S = 35.76 MVAr; (c) loss 3.69 MW, line absorbs 5.76 MVAr.
