 ABSTRACT

Power systems is one of the subject studying of power generation,

transmission, distribution, utilization. Electrical – power transmission is the bulk

transfer of electrical energy, from generating power plants to electrical substations and

customers, which is typically referred to as electric power distribution. Transmission

lines, when interconnected with each other, become transmission networks. The

combined transmission and distribution network is known as the “National Grid”. Most

transmission lines are high voltage three phase alternating current, although single

phase AC is sometimes used in railway electrification systems. There are two types of

transmission lines they are DC transmission line and AC transmission lines. Long back

ago we were used DC transmission, Now the present world using AC transmission lines.

In both DC and AC transmission line, AC transmission line calculations are very tough

and very important than DC transmission line. In analysis of transmission the

important one is to find out efficiency and regulation. It is some difficult to make

calculation with hand it takes long period of time. To reduce time, this efficiency and

regulation gone on programming using MATLAB software, user interface is very easier

to use.

Through this analysis of transmission line programming using MATLAB user can

obtain length, efficiency, regulation of short, medium, long transmission line.

5
 AIM

It is very difficult to calculate the Efficiency, Regulation, Losses, Length of a

transmission line theoretically, it takes so much to obtain the result. That’s why

programming make it simpler. There are several programming languages but especially

MATLAB software programming compared to other languages, then it is a weakly typed,

dynamic, interpreted programming language specialized for numerical computations

and data visualization. MATLAB makes it simpler. The main aim of this project is

Analysis of Transmission line using MATLAB software. By using this user can get the

efficiency, regulation, length of transmission line and ABCD parameters.

 APPARATUS

 A computer system with MATLAB installation with good

processor and RAM.

 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:

Programming skills.

Formulas of transmission line

Switch syntax.

Editor window.

Command window.

 About syntax used in programming

input: For example, x = input(prompt) displays the text in prompt and waits for the
user to input a value and press the Return key. The user can enter expressions, like pi/4
or rand(3), and can use variables in the workspace.

 If the user presses the Return key without entering anything, then input returns
an empty matrix.
 If the user enters an invalid expression at the prompt, then MATLAB display the
relevant error message, and then redisplays the prompt.

disp: disp(x) displays the value of variable x without printing the variable name.
Another way to display a variable is to type its name, which display a leading “x = “
before the value. If a variable contains an empty array, disp returns without displaying
anything.

fprintf: fprintf ( fileID, formatspec, A1,…An) applies the formatspe to all elements of
array A1,…An in column order, and writes the data to a text file. Fprintf uses the
encoding scheme specified in the call to fopen.

complex: In MATLAB, i and j represent the basic imaginary unit. You can use them to
create complex numbers such as 2i+5 . You can also determine the real and imaginary
parts of complex numbers and compute other common values such as phase and angle.

imag: imag( MATLAB functions ) Y = imag( Z ) returns the imaginary part of the
elements of array Z.

abs: abs( z ) returns the absolute value (or complex modulus ) of z. Because symbolic
variables are assumed to be complex by default, abs return the complex modulus
(magnitude ) by default. If z is an array, abs acts element – wise on each element of z.

8
conj: conj( x ) returns the complex conjugate of x. Because symbolic variables are

complex by default, unresolved calls, such as conj( x ), can appear in the output of norm,
mtimes, and other functions. For details, see use assumptions on symbolic variables.

sqrt: sqrt( MATLAB functions)B = sqrt( x ) returns the square root of each element of
the array x. For the elements of X that are negative or complex, sqrt ( x ) produces
complex results.

 Procedure
Procedure for this project is very simple. Installation must be there in computer
device, because it program based project.
