Reactance diagram: 20 MVA generator, 15 kV/25 MVA base
Short answer
Using base 25 MVA, 15 kV at generator, line base 300 kV, load base 30 kV. Per-unit reactances: generator j0.0672, T1 j0.1344, line j0.05, T2 j0.1793. Load consumes 0.6 p.u. at 0.9 lag, represented as impedance 0.6667 + j0.3229 p.u.
A 20 MVA, 11 kV three-phase synchronous generator has a sub-transient reactance of 10%. It is connected through three identical single-phase Δ-Y connected transformers of 5000 kVA, 11/127.02 kV with a reactance of 15% to a high voltage transmission line having a total series reactance of j180 Ω. At the end of the HT transmission line, three identical single-phase star/star connected transformers of 5000 kVA, 127.02/12.702 kV with a reactance of 20%. The load is drawing 15 MVA at 20 kV at 0.9 pf lagging. Draw a single line diagram of the network and determine the reactance diagram. Choose a common base of 15 kV and 25 MVA.
