EXPERIMENT 1 : COMPUTATION OF LINE PARAMETERS

AIM :

To determine the positive sequence line parameters L and C per phase per kilometer of a
three phase single and double circuit transmission lines for different conductor arrangements.

OBJECTIVES :

(i) To become familiar with different arrangements of conductors of a three phase


single and double circuit transmission lines and to compute the GMD and GMR
for different arrangements.
(ii) To compute the series inductance and shunt capacitance per phase, per km of a
three phase single and double circuit overhead transmission lines with solid and
bundled conductors.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED: MATLAB

THEORY:

Transmission line has four parameters – resistance, inductance, capacitance and


conductance. The inductance and capacitance are due to the effect of magnetic and electric fields
around the conductor. The resistance of the conductor is best determined from the manufactures
data, the inductances and capacitances can be evaluated using the formula.

EXERCISE-1

1. A three-phase transposed line composed of one ACSR, 1,43,000 cmil, 47/7 Bobolink
conductor per phase with flat horizontal spacing of 11m between phases a and b and
between phases b and c. The conductors have a diameter of 3.625 cm and a GMR of 1.439
cm. The line is to be replaced by a three-conductor bundle of ACSR 477,000-cmil, 26/7
Hawk conductors having the same cross sectional area of aluminum as the single-conductor
line. The conductors have a diameter of 2.1793 cm and a GMR of 0.8839 cm. The new line
will also have a flat horizontal configuration, but it is to be operated at a higher voltage and
therefore the phase spacing is increased to 14m as measured from the center of the bundles.
The spacing between the conductors in the bundle is 45 cm.
(a) Determine the inductance and capacitance per phase per kilometer of the above two
lines.
(b) Verify the results using the MATLAB program.

MATLAB OUTPUT :

(a) A three-phase transposed line composed of one ACSR :

enter value of Dab :


11
enter the value Dbc :
11
enter the value of diameter :
3.625
Enter the number of conductors in the bundle :
0

The VALUE OF INDUCTANCE :


L = 1.377881e+00 mH/km

The VALUE OF CAPACITANCE :


Power System Simulation Lab/EE8711

C = 8.374241e-03 F/km

(b) The line is to be replaced by a three-conductor bundle of ACSR

enter value of Dab :


14
enter the value Dbc :
14
enter the value of diameter :
2.1793
Enter the number of conductors in the bundle :
3
Enter the bundle spacing :
45

The VALUE OF INDUCTANCE :


L = 9.984432e-01 mH/km

The VALUE OF CAPACITANCE :


C = 1.132641e-02 F/km

INFERENCE :

1. If the number of conductors increases per phase (bundled conductors) then the value of
GMR increases and hence L decrease because of which reactance is reduced and hence
maximum power transfer capability of the line increases and also the voltage regulation
of the line increases due to reduced reactance of the line.
2. Increase of capacitance increases the net surge impedance loading (SIL) of the line and
hence power transfer capability too.
3. The most important advantage of bundled conductors is its ability to reduce corona
discharge. 

RESULT :

Thus the line constant parameters L and C per phase per kilometer of a three
phase single and double circuit transmission lines for different conductor arrangements are
determined and verified with using MATLAB.
