A hypothetical case: A power station generates 50MVA at a voltage of 18.5kV (3-phase, 50HZ). This power must be transmitted over a 100km line to a consumer. If the permissible current density of the transmission line is 2.5A/mm?, and the conductor resistivity is 0.18 µ2.m, then show (ignoring inductive and capacitive effects) that it is inefficient and impractical to transmit this power at the generator voltage. Then do the same calculation, assuming the voltage to be stepped up to 150kV. 3.2
Short Transmission Line
A short transmission line is a transmission line that has a length less than 80 kilometers, an operating voltage level of less than 20 kV, and zero capacitance effect.
Power Flow Analysis
Power flow analysis is a topic in power engineering. It is the flow of electric power in a system. The power flow analysis is preliminary used for the various components of Alternating Current (AC) power, such as the voltage, current, real power, reactive power, and voltage angles under given load conditions and is often known as a load flow study or load flow analysis.
Complex Form
A power system is defined as the connection or network of the various components that convert the non-electrical energy into the electric form and supply the electric form of energy from the source to the load. The power system is an important parameter in power engineering and the electrical engineering profession. The powers in the power system are primarily categorized into two types- active power and reactive power.
