Performance of transmission lines

The term performance includes the calculation of sending end voltage,

sending end current, sending end power factor, power loss in the lines,
efficiency of transmission, regulation and limits of power flows during
steady state and transient conditions. Performance calculations are helpful
in system planning. Some critical parameters are explained below

Voltage regulation – Voltage regulation is defined as the change in the

magnitude of the voltage between the sending and receiving ends of the
transmission line.

The efficiency of transmission lines – Efficiency of the transmission lines

is defined as the ratio of the input power to the output power.
