How To Design Short Transmission
Line in MATLAB/SIMULINK
❖ This example is taken
from the book Power System
Analysis by Hadi Sadat.
5,
5.1.
❖ Example
❖ A 220-kV, 60Hz, three phase transmission line is 40
km long. The resistance per phase is 0.15 Ω per km
and the inductance per phase is 1.3263 mH per km.
The shunt capacitance is negligible. Use the short line
model to find the voltage and power at the sending
end, the voltage regulation and efficiency when the
line is supplying a three-phase load of 381 MVA at 0.8
power factor lagging at 220 kV.
❖ Solution:
❖ 1. Resistance of the Transmission Line
❖ Resistance per km is given as below:
R = 0.15
❖ Resistance for 40 km will be
R = 0.15 40 = 6
❖ 2. Inductance of the Transmission Line:
❖ Inductance per km is given as below:
−3
L = 1.326310 H
❖ Inductance for 40 km will be
−3
L = 1.326310 40 H = 0.053052 H
❖ 3. Impedance of the Transmission Line:
❖ Inductance of 40 km transmission line will be
Z = (r + L) l
Z = (0.15 + j 2 f 1.326310 ) 40 −3
Z = (6 + j20)
❖ 4. Receiving End Active, Reactive and Apparent Power:
❖ The Receiving End apparent power is given in the example as below:
SR(3− ) = 381 MVA
❖ The Receiving End Active and Reactive power can be calculated as below:
SR(3− ) = 381 MVAcos−1(0.8) = 381 ((cos(36.87) + j sin(36.87))
SR(3− ) = (304.8 MW + j228.6 M var)
PR(3− ) = 304.8 MW QR(3− ) = 228.6 M var
❖ 5. Receiving End Voltage and Current:
❖ The Receiving End Line voltage is given in the example as below:
VR = 220 kV
❖ The Receiving End Phase voltage will be
Note: here * means conjugate is
VR = 220 kV / 3 = 127 kV taken. If it is in polar form then
sign of angle will be changed.
The current per phase is given by
R(3− ) 381106 − 36.87 381103 − 36.87
I = = = = 1000 − 36.87 A
3V 3127 10 3
381
❖ 6. Sending End Phase Voltage and Line Voltage:
❖ The Sending End Phase Voltage is given by:
VS = VR + IR Z = 1270 kV + (1000 − 36.87) (6 + j20)
VS = 1270000 V + (1000(cos(−36.87) + j sin(−36.87)) (6 + j20)
VS = 144.334.93 kV
❖ The sending end line to line voltage is
3 144.334.93 kV = 250 kV
❖ 7. Sending End Current:
❖ In short transmission line, sending end
current is equal to receiving end current.
I S = IR = 1000 − 36.87 A
❖ 8. Sending End Apparent, Active and Reactive Power:
❖ The sending end power is
S S (3− ) = 3V S ( Ph) I S*( ph) = 3144.33103 4.93100036.87
PS (3− ) = 322.8 MW
Note: here again conjugate is taken.
QS (3− ) = 288.6 M var It is necessary to keep in mind
otherwise answer will be wrong.
SS (3− ) = 43341.8 MVA
❖ 9. Percentage Voltage Regulation:
❖ The voltage regulation is
VS −VR 250 − 220
%VR = 100 = 100 = 13.6%
VR 220
❖ 10. Transmission Efficiency:
❖ Transmission line efficiency is
PR(3− ) 304.8
= 100 = 100 = 94.4%
PS (3− ) 322.8
