Example 1:
A 69 kV, three phase short transmission line is 16 km long. The line has a per
phase series impedance of 0.125+j0.4375Ω per km. Determine the sending end
voltage, voltage regulation, the sending end power, and the transmission
efficiency when the line delivers:
(a) 70MVA, 0.8 lagging power factor at 64 kV.
(b) 120 MW, unity power factor at 64 kV.

Example 2:
A 230 kV, three phase transmission line has a per phase series impedance of
z=0.05+j0.45 Ω per km and a per phase shunt admittance of y= j3.4x10-6
Siemens per km. The line is 80 km long. Using the nominal π model, determine:
(a) Sending end voltage if the line delivers 200 MVA, 0.8 lagging power factor
at 220 kV.
(b) 306 MW, unity power factor at 220 kV.
(c) The transmission line ABCD constants.
(d) Voltage regulation of the line.

Example 3:
A three-phase, 345-kV, 60 Hz transposed line is composed of two conductors per
phase with flat horizontal spacing of 11m. The conductors have a diameter of
3.195cm and a GMR of 1. 268cm.The bundle spacing is 45cm. The resistance of
each conductor in the bundle is 0.0538 Ω per km and the line. The line is 150 km
long.
(a) Using nominal π-model, determine the ABCD constant of the line.
(b) The line delivers 400 MVA at 0.8 lagging power factor at 345 kV.
Determine the sending end qualities, voltage regulation, and transmission
efficiency.
