220 kV line, 200 MW: sending end from ABCD
Short answer
The sending-end line voltage is 346.5 kV and current is 516.8 A. Sending-end power is 200.03 MW and 237.03 MVAr. Real power loss is 0.03 MW, reactive loss 87.03 MVAr; voltage regulation is 75% and efficiency is 99.99%.
A three phase 220 kV, 50 Hz transmission line supplies a power of 200 MW at a power factor of 0.8 lagging and the line has ABCD parameters as follows: A = 0.9∠0.001°, B = B Ω (value not printed), C = 1.14 × 10⁻³∠90°, D = 0.9∠0.001°. Determine the following: (i) sending end voltage and current (ii) real and reactive power at sending end at full load (iii) real and reactive power loss in line at full load (iv) voltage regulation and line efficiency at full load.
Assumption: is not printed, so it is found from the reciprocity condition :
Receiving-end quantities
(i) Sending-end voltage and current
Sending-end line voltage kV.
(ii) Sending-end power
= 200.03 MW, = 237.03 MVAr (pf 0.645 lag).
(iii) Losses
Receiving end: MVA.
The active loss is almost zero because the given , have nearly zero angle, i.e. the line is practically lossless.
(iv) Regulation and efficiency
Answer: = 346.5 kV (line), = 516.8 A; = 200.03 MW, = 237.03 MVAr; losses 0.03 MW and 87.03 MVAr; regulation ≈ 75 %, efficiency ≈ 99.99 %. (The very high regulation shows the line is loaded far above its surge impedance loading of about 127 MW.)
