Electrical Power Transmission

1
Transmission system
• Connecting link between generating
stations and load centers (where
Electricity is distributed among various
consumers, such as, Industrial units,
commercial, and residentials)
• Transmission usually at high voltage
levels
– HV:132kV,220kV
– EHV: 345kV, 500 kV, 750 kV
– UHV: 1000kV, 1500 kV 2
Type of transmission systems
• High Voltage AC system
– Economical up to breakeven distance
(600-800km)
– Requires substations for changing
voltage magnitudes at both terminals
– Short line: up to 80km(50mi)
– Medium Line: upto 240km(150mi)
– Long lines: above 240 km (or 150 mi)
• High voltage DC system (HVDC)
– Economical above break even distance
– Requires power converters at both
ends of the line, which generate
unwanted harmonics on both ac and
dc sides
– Only two wires are required for
transmission

CLASSIFICATION OF TRANSMISSION LINES

With respect to voltage


With respect to Length level
• Short lines • HV Lines
less than 80-km ( 50 mi ) – 115, 138 and 230 kV
• Medium lines • EHV Lines
Between 80-km (50 mi) – 345, 500 and 765 kV
and 240-Km (150 mi ) • UHV Lines
– 1000 to 1500 kV
• Long lines
More than 240-km (> 150 mi)
.
Short line representation
• For short lines the charging power of
transmission line is too small and the equivalent
circuit does not include shunt admittance.
• Per phase equivalent circuit shown below.
• Here
Vs = Sending end voltage
VR = Receiving end voltage
Is= sending end current
IR= receiving end current
Z = z.l where z is the impedance per unit length
and l is the length of the line
Then
Is=IR
Vs= VR+ IR (R+ jXL)

MEDIUM LINES ( 80 to 240 km )
• For 3-Φ balanced system, the lines are
represented by single phase equivalent
circuit.
• Lumped parameters are used to represent
the line.
• Two models are used: the Π-model & T-
model

INDUCTANCE OF A

Definition of Inductance
• The induced voltage • when a current in a circuit is
changing, its associated
related to rate of
magnetic field( described by
change of flux linking a flux linkages) must be

d permeability of a medium is

magnetic circuit has constant permeability, then

52

Self and Mutual inductance


• Self Inductance can now be defined as the flux
linkages of a circuit per unit of current i.e.,
τ  Li.......wbt
• Here i is the instantaneous current, τ also represents
the instantaneous value of flux linkages. For
sinusoidal current, the flux linkages also vary
sinusoidaly and can be represented by phasor Ψ
• Therefore phasor expression for flux linkages is

  LI....wbt
53

• The phasor voltage drop due to flux linkages is


given by
V  jLI .....volts
V  j ....volts
54

Mutual Inductance
• Mutual Inductance between two circuits is defined as the
flux linkages of one circuit due to the current in second
circuit per ampere of the current.

M12  Ψ ...H

I 2
• The phasor voltage drop in circuit 1 caused by the flux
linkages of circuit 2 is therefore given by

V  jω M I .......volts

55

Inductance of a conductor due to internal


Flux
• Some of the magnetic field exists inside the
conductors. The changing flux inside the
conductor therefore contribute to the induced
voltage of the circuit and therefore to the
inductance.
• We must remember that each line of internal
flux only links a fraction of the total current
inside the conductor..

▫ Unsymmetrical spacing e.g., horizontal / vertical /
isosceles triangular spacing
SYMMETRICAL SPACING
INDUCTANCE OF THREE PHASE LINE WITH

EQUILATERAL SPACING

71
 The inductance per phase of three
phase line is given by

La= Lb= Lc = 2X10-7 ln D/ Ds H/m


XL =2 ΠfL= 4 Πf x 2 x 10-7 ln D/Ds Ω/m
= 2.022 x 10-3 f ln D/Ds Ω/mi
= 2.022 x 10-3 f ln 1/Ds + 2.022 x 10-3lnD
= Xa + Xd
The value of Xa and Xa is readily available from Table A-1
and A-2 respectively for a ACSR conductor.

72
Inductance of unsymmetrical lines
 When the conductors of a three
phase line are not spaced
equilaterally, the problem of
finding the inductance becomes
more difficult. The flux linkages
and inductance of all phase are
not the same. A different
inductance in each phase
results an unbalanced circuit.

 Balance of the three phase can


be restored by exchanging the
positions of the conductors at
regular intervals along the line
so that each conductor
occupies the original position
of every other conductor over
an equal distance. Such an
exchange of conductor
positions is called
transposition.
73
Transposition Cycle

74
 Modern power lines are not transposed at
regular intervals although an interchange in the
position of the conductors may be done at
switching stations in order to balance the
inductance of the phases more closely.
 The average inductance per phase is given by:
La = Lb= Lc= 2x10 - 7 ln (Deq / Ds) H/m
Where
Deq = (D12 D23 D31 )1/3

BUNDLED LINES

77
For extra voltage above 230 kV: problems with one
conductor per phase:
 Corona power loss
 interference with communication lines
 High voltage gradient at the conductor in EHV is
reduced by:
 having two or more conductors per phase in
close proximity compared with space between
phases.
 Such a line is said to be composed of bundle
conductors
 Reduced reactance is other advantage 78
BUNDLED CONDUCTORS
 At voltages above 230KV, corona on OHL
becomes prominent with associated
power loss and Radio frequency
interference(RFI) in communication lines.
 In such condition, transmission lines
using single conductor for each phase ,
are replaced by a number of conductors
per phase e.g., 2,3,4 and 6 conductors per
phase. such a method is called Bundling .

 Capacitance causes charging power to flow in the
lines even if they are open at the
receiving(load)end. It also causes voltage rise at
the receiving end if a long transmission line is
lightly loaded or open.
 Conductance accounts for leakage over the
insulator surface. Power loss due to leakages
over insulators is usually negligibly small.

Where access is very difficult,


Helicopters have been used to

106
FIXED-BRIDGE GUYED
TOWERS
require only 60 to 75% of the
structural steel used I their rigid
equivalents and usually cost less.
Rigid towers are used(favored) I
areas where land use is severely
restricted or very rough ground
makes anchor installation and
ground structure assembly difficult.
If the terrain is flat ad open with
easy access for mobile cranes , the
guyed towers can be readily
assembled on site and raised in
position.

107
CROSS ROPE
SUSPESION TOWERS
At 765 kv and 1100 kv , Guyed-V
structures become impractical
because of the tower height. At
765 kv, a guyed-V tower will
require a reasonably level, clear
assembly area of about 130 ft by
160 ft. I addition to space
requirements, the heavy bridge
structures also impose demands
on construction equipment such
as cranes. The alternative
solution would be to replace the
conductor-supporting bridge
with a steel able system
suspended between two guyed
masts. Such a construction is
termed as cross rope
suspension (CRS) tower. The RS
towers offer impressive saving
in materials
