Problem 1: 15 Marks
A three-phase, 60-Hz, completely transposed 345-kV, 200-km line has two 795,000-cmil 26/2 ACSR
conductors per bundle and the following positive sequence line constants:
z = 0.032 + j0.35 ohm/km
y = j4.2 x 10-6 S/km
Full load at the receiving end of the line is 700 MW at 0.99 p.f leading and at 95% of rated voltage.
Assuming a medium-length line, determine the following:
a. ABCD parameters of the nominal p circuit
b. Sending-end voltage VS, current IS, and real power PS
c. Percent voltage regulation
d. Thermal limit, based on the approximate current-carrying capacity
listed in Table A.4
e. Transmission-line % efficiency at full load.

following:
A. The practical line loadability. (Assume an approximate receiving-end voltage VR = 0:95 per unit
and δ = 350 maximum angle across the line.)
b. The full-load current at 0.986 p.f. leading based on the above practical line loadability
c. The exact receiving-end voltage for the full-load current found in part (b)
d. Percent voltage regulation for the above full-load current.
