Surge Impedance Loading (Sil)

Surge impedance loading (SIL) of a transmission line: (1) Has no net reactive power flow into or out of the line. (2) Will have approximately a flat voltage profile along its length. (3) Is calculated as the square of the line's rated voltage divided by its surge impedance in MW.

A transmission line loaded to its surge impedance loading:

(i) has no net reactive power flow into or out of the line, and
(ii) will have approximately a flat voltage profile along its length.

For (i) to hold:

This means that there will be no net reactive power flow at surge-impedance
loading.

This means that the line will have a flat voltage profile, i.e., no voltage drop.
LOADABILITY CURVES

Loadability of a line is limited by :

(i) thermal limitation (I2R losses)


(ii) voltage regulation
(iii) stability limitation
