1.0 Introduction:
A long transmission line draws a substantial quantity of charging current. If such
a line is open circuited or very lightly loaded at the receiving end the voltage at
receiving end may become greater than voltage at sending end. This is known as
Ferranti Effect and is due to the voltage drop across the line inductance being in
phase with the sending end voltages. Therefore both capacitance and inductance
is responsible to produce this phenomenon. The capacitance and charging
current is most significant in long transmission lines [1].

The factors that are causing to increase the voltage may of Ferranti effect in the
uncompensated transmission line gives result as remote end voltage is always
higher than that of source voltage. It is the effect of capacitive charging current
as it flows through the inductance of line and resulting that as the length of line
increases, the voltage also increases.

This effect of phenomenon was discovered at the end of 19th century in the
Great Britain during the AC based distribution system. In the UK it was Sebastian
Sinai de Ferranti, who as an ardent defender of an AC system. When he installed
an AC system along with intermediate levels of different voltage and remote
step-down transformers. Ferranti observed on one AC transmission system by
adding an extra distribution line, a rise in voltage in various remote ends [2].

1.1 Aims & Objectives:


The main objective of this experimental report is to study the effects of
Ferranti using a 300 Kilo Meters Artificial Transmission Line.
Find the A, B, C, D Parameters using No Load and Short Circuit Test
Understand the effect of Current and Voltage in Long Transmission Lines

1.2 Equipments:
The list of equipment used in the experiment included the following items:

Artificial Transmission Line: Artificial transmission line (ATL) is a mimic of


real life transmission line, the ATL used in this experiment is four
segments of 75 Km each. ( This ATL is consisting of 12 inductors, 12
resistors and 24 capacitors. Circuit breakers and for cooling purposes
electric fans)
Main Panel for connection to the Artificial Transmission Line which will act
as a bus bar.
Transformer Bank Variable supply
Control cables, leads and wires
Electrical Load Bank of at least 2 kW

3
2.0 Methodology:
For 3 phase transmission line purpose, the red, yellow and blue leads symbolize
the three phase channels, while the black lead represents the neutral channel.
The three phase connection of the control cable and the colored leads is made to
the main panel and the output side of the transformer bank to the transformer
terminals 1, 2, 3 and 4 which distribute power to the main panel. Also for the
connection of the three phase transmission line to the ATL, the connection is
made from terminal 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the main panel according to the circuit
diagram. After connection of all the wires, the connections were checked by the
supervisor. Now the circuit was ready for the flow of power. The main switch
circuit breaker, Auxiliary Circuit Breaker 1 and Auxilary 2 Circuit breaker for the
transformer bank and main panels were turned ON accordingly and then the
Bank Circuit breaker.

2.1 No Load Test:


The No Load Test of three phases was performed by connecting two power
meters across the very first connection to the ATL and fourth segment which is
the last segment of the Artificial Transmission Line. The meter across the
connection to the ATL showed the sending end voltage while the meter at the
last end was representing the receiving end voltage.

The voltage was raised in step to 415 volts. The readings were recorded for the
Red and yellow, Red and Blue, and Yellow and Blue configurations using the
power meter. The readings indicated a rise of voltage from 416 to 419 volts. This
was because when the length of the line increases specially in extra high voltage
(EHV) lines, beyond 200km, phenomenon called Ferranti Effect in no load or low
load condition occurs.

Similarly, the single phase no-load test was performed by connected the phase
terminal to the meter and neutral point of the Artificial Transmission Line. The
Results for no load three-phase and single phase test were recorded. The
recorded values are given in Table 1 below.

2.1.4 Analysis and Discussion:


The results for the Phase values increases which is because of the Ferranti effect.
Furthermore, the phase to neutral voltage drops significantly. This voltage drop is
because of Mutual Coupling. Mutual coupling happen in high frequency
structures when they are exposed to each other. In many places, population
density has put restrictions on the availability of transmission line right of ways,
therefore multiple transmission lines are put on each transmission line tower. As
a result, mutual coupling effects between circuits can influence impedance
measurements performed by impedance based distance relays that are often
used to protect these lines during faults [3]. Bringing the zero sequence current
from a parallel line into a distance relay used to protect a power line, can be
used to correct the effect of mutual coupling from other parallel lines. The
example can be illustrated from the Figure 1 below.

Figure 1 Capacitive & Inductive Load illustration for Power


Measurements

The relative voltage rise is proportional to the square of the line length.

Lets represent line by equivalent -model in Figure 2 below.

Figure 2 Equivalent pi Model

VS is the Sending End Voltage

VR is the Receiving End Voltage

Adding the phaser diagram for the current circuit in Figure 3 below, we get,

OM = receiving end voltage Vr, Line capacitance is assumed to be concentrated


at the receiving end.

OC = Current drawn by capacitance = Ic

MN = Resistance drop

NP = Inductive reactance drop

Therefore; OP = Sending end voltage at no load and is less than receiving end
voltage (Vr) Since, resistance is small compared to reactance; resistance can be
neglected in calculating Ferranti Effect.

So,
V S <V R or vice versa, i.e.
V R> V S

Which implies that the receiving end voltage is greater than sending end voltage
for open circuit condition of long transmission line and this effect is called
Ferranti Effect [4].

2.2 Load Test:


For the purpose of performing Load test, the receiving end of the ATL is
connected to a three phase load. The load was raised in steps to 2 kW and the R-
Y, R-B, Y-B phase values across each segment was recorded. The values of the
loss of voltage, Power and Power factor were recorded from the meter readings.

For the single phase load measurement, the meter leads were connected to the
Phase and Neutral terminals of the artificial transmission line. The values were
recorded accordingly. The recorded values for the three0phase and single phase
test of 2 KW load is given in the table below.

2.3 Short Circuit Test:


For the short circuit test of the three phase analysis, the receiving end phases
are short circuited of the Artificial Transmission Line. The voltage at the receiving
end will be 0 Volts now. Also for the purpose of analysis the current is fixed to
2.76

Similarly for the short circuit single phase analysis, the receiving end phases are
short circuited. The voltage across the Red & Neutral, Blue & Neutral and Yellow
& Neutral was recorded to be 24.4 volts, while the current was 2.74. The Practical

2.3.3 A, B, C, D Parameter Calculations & Discussion:


The entire transmission system can be simplified to a two port network for
the sake of easier calculations. The circuit of a 2 port network is shown in
the diagram below. As by the name, a 2 port network consists of an input
port PQ and an output port RS. Each port has 2 terminals to connect itself
to the external circuit. Thus it is essentially a 2 port or a 4 terminal circuit
[1].

Figure 4 Two Port Network for ABCD Parameters Calculations

Where Vs is the Sending Voltage.

Is is the Sending Current.

IR is the Receiving Current.

VR is the Receiving Voltage.

The A, B, C, D Parameters also knows as the transmission line parameters


provide the link between the supply and receiving end voltages and currents,
considering the circuit elements to be linear in nature. Therefore the relationship
between the Sending and Receiving end can be given in the form given as:

[ ][ ][ ]
VS
IS
=A
C
B = VR
D IR

This computes to:

V S =A V R + B I R Equation( I )

I S=C V R + D I R Equation(II )

Given Equations to solve for the A, B, C, D parameters are given below:

V S =V r cosh l+ I r Z C sinh l Equation (III)

12
Vr
I S=I r cosh l+ sinh l Equation (IV)
ZC

V R =V S cosh l+ I S Z C sinh l Equation (V)

VS
I R=I S cosh l+ sinh l Equation (VI)
ZC

Comparing equation (I) and equation (III)

cosh l B=ZC sinh l


A= ; ;

Comparing equation (II) and equation (V)

Vr
C= cosh l ; D= Z C sinh l

Therefore Equation (I) and Equation (II) can be used to calculate the A, B, C, and
D Parameters.

2.3.3.1 No Load Test Values used:

At no load test, the


I r =0 , put values in equation (I) and equation (II), we get

V S =A V R + B ( 0 ) Equation ( I )

V S 416
A= = =0.991
V R 420

Thus its implies that on applying open circuit condition to ABCD parameters, we
get parameter A as the ratio of sending end voltage to the open circuit receiving
end voltage. Since dimension wise A is a ratio of voltage to voltage, A is a
dimension less parameter

I S=C V R +D ( 0 ) Equation ( II )

IS 0
C= = =0 1
V R 420

By applying open circuit condition to ABCD parameters of transmission line, we


get parameter C as the ratio of sending end current to the open circuit receiving
end voltage. Since dimension wise C is a ratio of current to voltage, its unit is

13
mho. Thus C is the open circuit conductance and is given by
C = IS VR mho.

2.3.3.2 Short Circuit Test Values used:

At short circuit test,


V R =0 put values in equation (I) and equation (II), we get

V S =A V R + B I R Equation ( I )

VS 417
B= = =151.190
I R 2.76 90

On applying short circuit condition to ABCD parameters, we get parameter B as


the ratio of sending end voltage to the short circuit receiving end current. Since
dimension wise B is a ratio of voltage to current, its unit is . Thus B is the short
circuit resistance and is given by B = VS IR .

I S=C (0)+ D I R Equation (II)

I S 2.8150.95
D= = =1.02140.95
IR 2.76 90

We get parameter D as the ratio of sending end current to the short circuit
receiving end current. Since dimension wise D is a ratio of current to current, its
a dimension less parameter.

3.0 Practical Long Line Model:


For accurate modelling of the transmission line one must not assume that the
parameters are lumped but are distributed throughout line. The single-line
diagram of a long transmission line is shown in Fig. 2.5. The length of the line is l.
Let us consider a small strip x that is at a distance x from the receiving end.
The voltage and current at the end of the strip are V and I respectively and the
beginning of the strip are V + V and I + I respectively. The voltage drop
across the strip is then V [5].

Since the length of the strip is x, the series impedance and shunt admittance
are z x and y x. It is to be:

Z =z l ; Y = y l

14
Figure 5 Long transmission line representation [6].

From the circuit considered, the equation for Sending and Receiving current and
Voltages can be derived accordingly.

Equation (7.1)

Again as x 0, from (7.1) we get

Equation (7.2)

Now for the current through the strip, applying KCL we get,

Equation (7.3)

The second term of the above equation is the product of two small quantities and
therefore can be neglected. For x 0 we then have,

Equation (7.4)

Taking derivative with respect to x of both sides of (7.2) we get,

Equation (7.5)

Substitution of (7.4) in the above equation results

Equation (7.6)

The roots of the above equation are located at (yz). Hence the solution of (7.6) is of
the form

15
Equation (7.7)

Taking derivative of (7.7) with respect to x we get,

Equation (7.8)

Combining (7.2) with (7.8) we have

Equation (7.9)

Let us define the following two quantities

ZC =
Z
y
Which is known as the characteristic impedance

= yz Known as the propagation constant

Then (7.7) and (7.9) can be written in terms of the characteristic impedance and
propagation constant as:

V = A 1 e x + A1 ex Equation (7.10)

A 1 x A2 x
I= e e Equation (7.11)
ZC Zc

Let us assume that x = 0. Then V = VR and I = IR. From (7.10) and (7.11) we then
get,

V R = A1 + A2 Equation (7.12)

A 1 A2
I R= Equation (7.13)
Z C ZC

Solving (7.12) and (7.13) we get the following values for A1 and A2

16
V R +Z C I R V ZC I R
A 1= A 2= R Equation (7.14)
2 2

Also note that for x = l we have V = Vs and I = IS. Therefore replacing x by l and
substituting the values of A1 and A2 in (7.10) and (7.11) we get,

Equation (7.15)

Equation (7.16)

Equation (7.17)
There for equation (7.15) and (7.16) can be re-written as;

For example if a 500 km long transmission line for which impedance


z=0.1+ j 0.5145 and Admittance y= j3.1734 106 1

Therefore,

4.0 Discussion & Conclusion:


The conclusion that currents at the sending end and receiving ends are different,
which also does not fit into the circuit-theory postulate that the current is the
same all along a wire that connects circuit elements. The accuracy of this
approximation might increase with the number of segments. Therefore, an exact
representation is needed of infinite number of infinitely small segments. If
instead of a dc generator we connect an ac generator, the same effect occurs
even if the line dielectric is perfect, to have capacitive stray currents between
the two conductors. However, now the voltage across the receiving end will also
differ from that at the Sending end, rather than of the line conductors being

17
perfect. This is due to small inductive voltage drops across short segments of the
line; the velocity of propagation of voltage and current waves along air lines
equals the velocity of light in a vacuum. It is valid only for lines with air dielectric.

Because for any dielectric > 0 , the propagation velocity along lines with
dielectric other than air is always less than the velocity of light in a vacuum. The
last conclusion enables us to understand an extremely important fact: because
an infinite section of any lossless line with respect to its input terminals behaves
as a resistor of resistance Z, we can eliminate the reflected wave on a line of any
length by terminating the line in its characteristic impedance. If this is done, we
say that the line is matched. Also it is the attenuation of higher frequencies by
the skin effect that causes the degradation of voltage transitions on long
transmission lines, not the dispersion of higher frequencies. Indeed, the
dispersion alone would cause the opposite effect: higher frequencies propagate
far more quickly than lower frequencies.

Also because an imperfectly ended transmission line causes power to be


reflected back to the source end and the impedance seen looking into such a line
is not equal to its characteristic impedance of the line; however some function of
the reflection coefficient at the far end, and the length of the line will match. If at
one particular frequency, or a narrow range of frequencies, one can use a finite
transmission line, or to create any impedance which is necessary, stubs can be
used.

Since the parameters were found using the three test analysis, the summery of
the results is given in the table below:

5.0 Shut Down:


For closing of the experiment, the button on the load bank was pressed to shut
down the load bank and by lowering the voltage of the transformer bank to bring
it to 0 volts. Once the Meter reading reaches 0V, the red off button was pressed
to off the power to the Artificial Transmission Line and the Transformer bank. The
remaining circuit breakers were also returned to switch off positions on the main
panel and then the main contactor was switched off to shut down all power. The
wires and leads were taken out after that with care and packed away.
