TRANSMISSION LINE LOSS CALCULATION

Total Plant Capacity, P = 80 MW

Transmission line voltage, V = 132 kV Formulae used
Transmission line current @ FL, I = 349.91 Amps I = Plant capacity*1000/(Line voltage*√3))
RT = R20*(1+0.00403*(T-20))
Conductor Type = PANTHER % Power loss = Ploss/P
Conductor Resistance @ 20 deg C, R20 = 0.1390 ohm/km (As per Table 3 of IS 398 Part II) Ploss = 3* I2* R20* L/(No of runs)
Conductor Resistance @ 50 deg C, RT = 0.1558 ohm/km (As per Table 3 of IS 398 Part II) % Voltage drop = Vd/V
Line length, L = 12.00 km Vd=Current per run x Length x 1.732x R20
No. of runs/ckts. = 1

Power Loss in % with wire utilisation factor = 0.86%

Voltage drop calculation

Voltage drop @ 50deg, Vd = 1,133.09 V
Voltage drop in % @ 50deg = 0.86%

Conclusions:
1. Current carrying capacity criteria OK
2. Voltage drop criteria OK Design is adequate
3. Power loss criteria OK
