EE303 - Energy Systems and Power Electronics: Lecture 18. Electric Power Transmission

This document summarizes a lecture on electric power transmission. The lecture objectives were to describe the structure of overhead transmission lines, identify the electrical parameters of transmission lines, present lumped-parameter equivalent circuits of transmission lines, and present fundamental concepts of power flow through transmission lines. Examples were provided to demonstrate calculating voltage and current values for transmission lines. Readings assigned were Module T1, pages 59-78 of the class notes.

General info

Copper vs. aluminum


COPPER:
+ has a higher conductivity than aluminum: 59.6 vs. 37.8 MS/m
+ is more ductile (can be drawn out into a thin wire)
+ has relatively high tensile strength (the greatest stress a
substance can bear along its length without tearing apart):
55,000 psi vs. 25,000 psi
+ can be easily soldered
is more expensive: 4.3$/lb vs. 1.15$/lb (3/21/11) 3.8$/lb vs.
1.06$/lb (10/20/10), 3$/lb vs. 0.9$/lb (10/26/09)

is heavier than aluminum: 8.94 vs. 2.70 g/cm3
ALUMINUM:
+ reduces corona effect
+ is lighter, so it permits longer spans

Problem solving

Example T1.1, p. 62

Example
An ACSR 100-mile 230-kV transmission line has a resistance of
0.1 /mile/phase and an inductive reactance of 0.777 /mile/phase.
The voltage at the sending end is 231 kV and the current through the
line is 125 A, lagging the sending end voltage by 20 degrees.
Compute the receiving end voltage, and the voltage drop across
the line caused by the resistance and that caused by the
reactance.
Compute the real power flowing into the line, the real losses, and
the real power flowing out of the line.
Compute the reactive power flowing into the line, the reactive
losses, and the reactive power flowing out of the line.

Problem solving

Example

Example
For the previous transmission line, assume that the shunt reactance is
0.2 M mi.
What is the shunt admittance per mile, and total shunt
admittance of the line?
Draw the lines -equivalent circuit.
If the lines receiving end is open-circuited, compute the
receiving end voltage.
Compute the currents in the -equivalent circuit branches.
