Transmission Line Model and Performance

Problem 5.5, we use “lineperf” then choose 4 and enter the

A. Paragraph Introduction
A transmission line is used for the transmission of
electrical power from generating substation to the various
distribution units. It transmits the wave of voltage and
current from one end to another. The transmission line is
made up of a conductor having a uniform cross section along
the line. Air act as an insulating or dielectric medium
between the conductors.
given. The answer will appear below.
We use “lineperf” then choose 4 to get the result for
“Two port model, ABCD constant” in Problem 5.6, enter the
given then the answer will appear below. Hit enter button
then choose 1 to get the results for “Line performance for
specified receiving end quantities”. Enter the given then the
answer will appear.
D. Conclusion

B. A short discussion about your
understanding on the topic transmission line
models
A transmission line which delivers electrical power
dissipates heat because of the resistance of the conductors. It
act therefore as a resistance which in some cases is many miles
long. The transmission line also behaves like an inductance
because each conductor is surrounded by magnetic field which
also stretches the full length of the lin. Final the transmission
line behaves like a capacitor with the conductors acting more
or less like widely separated plates
C. Discuss the procedures and
results/answers from the conducted programming
I conclude that “lineperf” in Octave GUI and solve for
Shunt Capacitive Compensation, Nominal Pi, ABCD
Constant and such. And now I am already familiarize with
the Octave GUI and my skills in performing it is more
enhanced using the application.

In this activity, we will use “lineperf” in Octave GUI.

The Problem 5.1 is already given but we need it to solve
Problem 5.2 in Octave. We must first solve for the ABCD
constant in problem 5.1 then continue on the instruction for
5.2 by choosing no. 6 that leads to “compmenu”. Then
choose 1 to solve for 5.2a and 5.2b of Problem 5.2. The
sending end voltage is the only difference for 5.2a and 5.2b
which is 69kV and 64kV correspondingly.

For Problem 5.3, we need to get its nominal pi with

ABCD constant. Choose “lineperf” first then choose 2 then
input the given, after that the answer 5.3a will appear below.
Click “enter” then choose 1, enter the given for 5.3b and the
answer will appear. The answer for 5.3b will be the given
for 5.3c. 5.3b and 5.3c have the same steps as they are
looking for same results.

In Problem 5.4 we are only looking for the result for

“Shunt Capacitive Compensation”. Using “lineperf” in
Octave, choose 6, it will show “compmenu” then choose 1
to solve for shunt capacitive compensation. Enter the given
and the answer will appear.

To get the result for Nominal Pi with ABCD constant in
