Transmission Line (ABCD) Parameters

The document discusses transmission line parameters and modeling. It can be represented as a two-port network with voltage and current variables at the sending and receiving ends related by ABCD parameters. For a short transmission line less than 50km, the ABCD parameters are A=D=1, B=line impedance Z, and C=0. Voltage regulation is defined as the percent change in receiving end voltage when load is removed with sending end voltage held constant. Line efficiency is the power delivered at the receiving end divided by the total power sent.

Transmission Line (ABCD)

Parameters
• It is convenient to represent a transmission line by a
two port network.
Is IR

+ +
Two-Port
Vs VR

• Where: VS and IS are the sending end voltage and


current and
• Vr and Ir are the receiving end voltage and current
respectively.
• The sending and receiving end quantities are
related as follows:
VS  AI r  BI r (1)

I S  CVr  DI 2 (2)

• Where: A,B,C and D parameters depend on


the transmission line constants R,L,C and G.
• These parameters are in general complex
numbers.
• A and D are dimensionless whereas B has
units of ohms and C has units of Siemens (S).
• The following circuit represents a short line
which is less than 50km long.

Is Z=Zℓ=(R+jωL) IR

• Only series resistance and reactance are


included.
• The shunt admittance is neglected.
• The cct applies to either single phase or three
phase lines operating under balanced
conditions.
• Equations (1) and (2) can be represented in matrix
format as follows:
VS  A B  VR 
 I   C D I 
 S   R  (3)

• From the circuit in the previous slide:


VS  VR  ZI R
IS  IR
• Therefore in matrix format:

VS  1 Z  VR 
 I   0  
1 IR 
 S  (4)
• By comparing equations (3) and (4) we can conclude
that the ABCD parameters for a short line are:
A  D 1 Per unit

BZ ohms

C 0 Siemens
Voltage Regulation In short Transmission Lines

• It is the change in voltage at the receiving end


when the full load at a given power factor is
removed and the voltage at sending end being
constant.
• It can be written as:
@ Full load V  V
rfl r

@ no load
Vrnl  VS
• Therefore, voltage regulation is given by:

Vrnl  Vrfl V S  Vr
 %
Vrfl Vr

Line Efficiency
Efficiency  Power delivered at the receiving
end/ power delivered at
the sending end + losses
