Transmission Line

200 km, 275 kV, 50 Hz transmission line has per phase resistance R=0.036 (Ω/km). The
conductors of this line are arranged as shown in the Figure 1

Determine
a) Geometric Mean Distance (GMD), Geometric Mean Radius (GMR L ) and Geometric
Mean Radius (GMR C )
b) Inductance and Capacitance of the line
c) Series Impedance (Z) and Shunt Admittance (Y) of the line
d) Transmission line equivalent circuit.
e) ABCD values

Referring to Figure 1, assume that there is a 350 MVA load at 0.8 lagging power factor at 275
kV end, determine:

f) Receiving voltage (𝑉𝑅 ) and receiving current (𝐼𝑅 ) per phase.

g) Sending voltage (𝑉𝑆 ) per phase and sending voltage (𝑉𝑆 ) line-line.
h) Efficiency of the line (η in %).
i) Voltage regulation of the line (𝑉𝑅 in %).
