Mathcad - Line XRC Line Loadability

The document provides specifications for a Drake conductor including its resistance, geometry, configuration in a line, and calculations for the line's resistance, reactance, capacitance, impedance, and surge impedance loading. It also includes notes on the length of different line sections and scenarios being considered with calculations for voltage and power profiles along the lines.

Note on line lengths:

Fo a symmetrical line connected to a voltage source capabale to adjust the voltage at 1 pu at both
ends. The entire length of the line with Livock terminal floating, two scenrios are considered.
Scenario 1: len1 len12L41W len12L44 514.75 km
Scenario2: len2 len12L41E len12L44 487.2 km
Since the line is symmetrical, the midpoint voltage versus power at mid-point are considered for this
study.
