To simplify the process of elimination, let us assume that the system is lossless (R=0).

This
assumption simplifies the two equations to:

P2 B21 V1 V2 Sin 2
(6.3)

Q2 B21 V1 V2 Cos 2 B22 V22

(6.4)
Knowing that:

B21 ( 1 / X 21 ) 1 / X 21

and B22 1 / X 21

We get:

P2

V1V2
Sin2
X 21

P2

Note that the negative sign associated with

Q2

and

is because the power flow equations

P2

assume injected P and Q as positive values. In this case, we assume

load extracted from the system.
Sin 2
By substituting

P2
from

Q2

and

to be consumed

equation into the

equation, we get:

This creates a second order equation where the solution in terms of

V2

is:

This relationship creates a characteristic similar to the one shown in Figure 6.2.
