Receiving end power, 140.2∠18.2° kV and 132 kV

Short answer

Using P_R = (|V_S||V_R|/|B|) cos(β−δ) − (|A||V_R|²/|B|) cos(β−α) with given ABCD parameters yields receiving-end active power of 90.2 MW.

For a 3-phase line the following data is available at a particular instant: VS (line) = 140.2∠18.2° kV, VR (line) = 132 kV∠0°, A = 0.94∠0.4°, B = 64.2∠78.8° Ohms. Compute the receiving end active power.

Use the receiving-end power-circle equation. With line kV, the result is three-phase MW:

PR=∣VS∣∣VR∣∣B∣cos⁡(β−δ)−∣A∣∣VR∣2∣B∣cos⁡(β−α)P_R = \frac{|V_S||V_R|}{|B|}\cos(\beta-\delta) - \frac{|A||V_R|^2}{|B|}\cos(\beta-\alpha)

Data: ∣VS∣=140.2|V_S| = 140.2 kV, δ=18.2∘\delta = 18.2^\circ, ∣VR∣=132|V_R| = 132 kV, ∣A∣=0.94|A| = 0.94, α=0.4∘\alpha = 0.4^\circ, ∣B∣=64.2 Ω|B| = 64.2\ \Omega, β=78.8∘\beta = 78.8^\circ.

Substitution

∣VS∣∣VR∣∣B∣=140.2×13264.2=288.26∣A∣∣VR∣2∣B∣=0.94×132264.2=255.12β−δ=60.6∘,β−α=78.4∘\begin{aligned} \frac{|V_S||V_R|}{|B|} &= \frac{140.2\times132}{64.2} = 288.26 \\ \frac{|A||V_R|^2}{|B|} &= \frac{0.94\times132^2}{64.2} = 255.12 \\ \beta-\delta &= 60.6^\circ,\quad \beta-\alpha = 78.4^\circ \end{aligned} PR=288.26cos⁡60.6∘−255.12cos⁡78.4∘=141.51−51.30=90.21 MW\begin{aligned} P_R &= 288.26\cos60.6^\circ - 255.12\cos78.4^\circ \\ &= 141.51 - 51.30 = 90.21\ \text{MW} \end{aligned}

Answer: Receiving-end active power ≈ 90.2 MW.
