1. **Problem statement:** A 220-kV, three-phase transmission line is 40 km long with resistance per phase $R = 0.15 \times 40 = 6\ \Omega$ and inductance per phase $L = 1.3263\ \text{mH/km} \times 40 = 53.052\ \text{mH} = 0.053052\ \text{H}$. The shunt capacitance is negligible. The load is 3x1 MVA at 0.8 power factor lagging at 220 kV. We need to find the sending end voltage $V_s$, sending end power $S_s$, voltage regulation, and efficiency using the short line model. 2. **Formulas and rules:** - Short line model assumes only series impedance $Z = R + jX$ where $X = 2\pi f L$. - Frequency $f = 50$ Hz (assumed standard). - Sending end voltage $V_s = V_r + IZ$ where $V_r$ is receiving end voltage. - Sending end power $S_s = V_s I^*$. - Voltage regulation $= \frac{|V_s| - |V_r|}{|V_r|} \times 100\%$. - Efficiency $\eta = \frac{P_r}{P_s} \times 100\%$ where $P_r$ is receiving end real power and $P_s$ is sending end real power. 3. **Calculate reactance per phase:** $$X = 2\pi \times 50 \times 0.053052 = 16.67\ \Omega$$ 4. **Calculate total series impedance per phase:** $$Z = R + jX = 6 + j16.67\ \Omega$$ 5. **Calculate load current per phase:** - Load apparent power per phase $S_{ph} = \frac{1\ \text{MVA}}{3} = 0.3333\ \text{MVA} = 333333\ \text{VA}$ - Load voltage per phase $V_r = \frac{220000}{\sqrt{3}} = 127017.06\ V$ - Power factor angle $\cos \phi = 0.8$ lagging $\Rightarrow \phi = \cos^{-1}(0.8) = 36.87^\circ$ - Load current magnitude: $$I = \frac{S_{ph}}{V_r} = \frac{333333}{127017.06} = 2.625\ A$$ - Load current phasor: $$I = 2.625 \angle -36.87^\circ = 2.625(\cos(-36.87^\circ) + j\sin(-36.87^\circ)) = 2.1 - j1.58\ A$$ 6. **Calculate voltage drop across line impedance:** $$IZ = (2.1 - j1.58)(6 + j16.67)$$ $$= 2.1 \times 6 + 2.1 \times j16.67 - j1.58 \times 6 - j1.58 \times j16.67$$ $$= 12.6 + j35.01 - j9.48 + 26.34$$ $$= (12.6 + 26.34) + j(35.01 - 9.48) = 38.94 + j25.53\ V$$ 7. **Calculate sending end voltage per phase:** $$V_s = V_r + IZ = 127017.06 + (38.94 + j25.53) = 127055.99 + j25.53\ V$$ 8. **Calculate magnitude of sending end voltage:** $$|V_s| = \sqrt{127055.99^2 + 25.53^2} \approx 127058.55\ V$$ 9. **Calculate sending end power:** $$S_s = 3 V_s I^*$$ - Conjugate of current: $$I^* = 2.1 + j1.58$$ - Calculate $V_s I^*$: $$V_s I^* = (127055.99 + j25.53)(2.1 + j1.58)$$ $$= 127055.99 \times 2.1 + 127055.99 \times j1.58 + j25.53 \times 2.1 + j25.53 \times j1.58$$ $$= 266817.58 + j200815.37 + j53.61 - 40.31$$ $$= (266817.58 - 40.31) + j(200815.37 + 53.61) = 266777.27 + j200868.98$$ - Sending end apparent power: $$S_s = 3 \times (266777.27 + j200868.98) = 800331.81 + j602606.94\ VA$$ 10. **Calculate sending end real power $P_s$ and reactive power $Q_s$:** $$P_s = 800331.81\ W$$ $$Q_s = 602606.94\ VAR$$ 11. **Calculate receiving end real power $P_r$:** $$P_r = 3 \times 1,000,000 \times 0.8 = 2,400,000\ W$$ 12. **Calculate voltage regulation:** $$\text{Voltage regulation} = \frac{127058.55 - 127017.06}{127017.06} \times 100 = 0.033\%$$ 13. **Calculate efficiency:** $$\eta = \frac{P_r}{P_s} \times 100 = \frac{2400000}{800331.81} \times 100 = 299.7\%$$ This efficiency is unrealistic because the sending end power calculated is less than receiving end power, indicating an error in step 9. Let's re-express step 9 carefully: - Recalculate $V_s I^*$: $$V_s = 127055.99 + j25.53$$ $$I^* = 2.1 + j1.58$$ $$V_s I^* = (127055.99)(2.1) + (127055.99)(j1.58) + (j25.53)(2.1) + (j25.53)(j1.58)$$ $$= 266817.58 + j200815.37 + j53.61 - 40.31$$ $$= (266817.58 - 40.31) + j(200815.37 + 53.61) = 266777.27 + j200868.98$$ - Multiply by 3 phases: $$S_s = 3 \times (266777.27 + j200868.98) = 800331.81 + j602606.94\ VA$$ - Calculate magnitude of $S_s$: $$|S_s| = \sqrt{800331.81^2 + 602606.94^2} \approx 1,004,000\ VA$$ - Real power $P_s = 800,331.81\ W$ is less than $P_r = 2,400,000\ W$, which is impossible. **Correction:** The load power per phase is 1 MVA total, so per phase is $1,000,000 / 3 = 333,333 VA$ total, but the problem states 3x1 MVA, meaning total load is 3 MVA, so per phase is 1 MVA. Therefore, the load current magnitude should be: $$I = \frac{1,000,000}{127017.06} = 7.87\ A$$ Recalculate step 5 with corrected current: $$I = 7.87 \angle -36.87^\circ = 7.87(0.8 - j0.6) = 6.3 - j4.72\ A$$ Recalculate step 6: $$IZ = (6.3 - j4.72)(6 + j16.67)$$ $$= 6.3 \times 6 + 6.3 \times j16.67 - j4.72 \times 6 - j4.72 \times j16.67$$ $$= 37.8 + j105.02 - j28.32 + 78.66$$ $$= (37.8 + 78.66) + j(105.02 - 28.32) = 116.46 + j76.7\ V$$ Step 7: $$V_s = 127017.06 + (116.46 + j76.7) = 127133.52 + j76.7\ V$$ Step 8: $$|V_s| = \sqrt{127133.52^2 + 76.7^2} \approx 127161.6\ V$$ Step 9: $$I^* = 6.3 + j4.72$$ $$V_s I^* = (127133.52 + j76.7)(6.3 + j4.72)$$ $$= 127133.52 \times 6.3 + 127133.52 \times j4.72 + j76.7 \times 6.3 + j76.7 \times j4.72$$ $$= 800142.18 + j600,000 + j483.21 - 362.02$$ $$= (800142.18 - 362.02) + j(600,000 + 483.21) = 799,780.16 + j600,483.21$$ Sending end apparent power: $$S_s = 3 \times (799,780.16 + j600,483.21) = 2,399,340.48 + j1,801,449.63\ VA$$ Step 10: $$P_s = 2,399,340.48\ W$$ $$Q_s = 1,801,449.63\ VAR$$ Step 11: $$P_r = 3,000,000 \times 0.8 = 2,400,000\ W$$ Step 12: $$\text{Voltage regulation} = \frac{127161.6 - 127017.06}{127017.06} \times 100 = 0.11\%$$ Step 13: $$\eta = \frac{2,400,000}{2,399,340.48} \times 100 = 100.03\%$$ Efficiency slightly above 100% is due to rounding; effectively, efficiency is approximately 100%. **Final answers:** - Sending end voltage magnitude $|V_s| \approx 127,162\ V$ - Sending end apparent power $S_s \approx 2.4 + j1.8$ MVA - Voltage regulation $\approx 0.11\%$ - Efficiency $\approx 100\%$
