Transmission Line Models


Characteristics and Performance of
Transmission Lines
 A problem of major importance in power system is the flow
of load over transmission lines such that the voltage at
various nodes is maintained
 Transmission lines are normally operated in balanced three
phase load; so analysis can be done in per phase basis (single
phase analysis)
 A transmission line on a per phase basis can be regarded as a
two port network, where in the sending-end voltage Vs and
current Is are related to the receiving end voltage Vr and
current Ir through ABCD Constant

Short Line Approximation

Assumptions:
1. The shunt capacitance is almost negligible
2. The impedance is lumped as shown

Example
 A single phase 50Hz generator supplies inductive load of
5000 kW at a power factor of 0.707 lagging by means of an
overhead transmission line 20km long. The line resistance and
inductance are 0.0195 ohm and 0.63 mH per km. The
voltage at the receiving end is required to be kept constant at
10kV.
 a. Find the sending end voltage and voltage regulation
 b. Find the value of the capacitors to be connected in parallel
with the load such that the regulation is reduced to 50% of that
obtained in (a).
Effect of the Variation of Power Factor
on Voltage Regulation

Observations:
1. The power factor of the load affects the amount of
sending end voltage to supply the load’s voltage
requirement.
2. The voltage regulation is highest at lagging pf, and
least and even negative for leading power factor.
Medium Line Approximation: Nominal 

Assumptions:
1. Lumped shunt admittance (half at sending and receiving)
2. Lumped Series impedance (in between the shunt admittance)

• If the line is terminated in its characteristic impedance


(Zc)- the line is called “Flat Line” or “Infinite Line”
– this cannot have reflected wave

•Transmission line are not usually terminated on its


characteristic impedance, but communication lines are
frequently so terminated to avoid reflected wave.
