A transmission line is said to be distortionless when there is no dispersion and the line
parameters are given in the ratio,

R
L =G
C
The propagation constant can be expressed as,
γ= √ ( R+ jωL ) ( G+ jωC )
γ= √LC ( R
L + jω )( G
C + jω )
It is further simplified as,
¿ ( R
L + jω ) √LC
¿ R √ C
L + jω √ LC
α=ℜ { γ } =R √ C

β=ℑ { γ }=ω √ LC
A transmission line is said to be lossless when R=G=0. The transmission line’s characteristic
impedance of a lossless transmission line is purely real and the wave propagation constant is
purely imaginary. The lossless transmission line is given such that,
γ= √ ( R+ jωL ) ( G+ jωC )
R=G=0
γ= √ ( jωL ) ( jωC )
γ= √−ω2 LC
γ= jω √LC
Hence,

QUESTION 5
Part a
High voltage transmission line which illustrates the relationship between the sending and
receiving end voltages and currents using the complex ABCD equations,
V s =V r ( A1 + j A2 ) +Ir ( B1 + j B2)
I s=V r ( C1 + j C2 ) + Ir ( D1 + j D2 )
The s and r initials are for the sending end and receiving end.

The sending end and receiving end equation are given as,
V s =V r ( A1 + j A2 ) +Ir ( B1 + j B2)
V s =V r ( 0.8698+ j 0.03542 ) +I r ( 47.94+ j180.8 )
For an open circuit, Ir=0,
V s =88.9 kV ∗( 0.8698+ j 0.03542 )
V s =77.325+ j 3.14884 kV
I s=V r ( C1 + j C2 ) + Ir ( D1 + j D2 )
I s=V r ( 0+ j 0.001349 ) + Ir ( 0.8698+ j 0.03542 )
I s=88.9 kV ∗( 0+ j 0.001349 )
I s= ( j119.9261 ) A
The short circuited power is obtained from the Vs and Is values,
PSO =ℜ { V s I s }
PSO =ℜ { ( 77.325+ j 3.14884 kV )∗( j119.9261 ) A }
PSO =0.377565 MWatts
Part b

The transmission line is 50km long T-circuit.
The shunt reactance is given as admittance, Y2 with Z1 and Z3 as the series impedances. The
following matrix is used in the solution,
[ A B
C D ]Z1 Y2 Z3
=
[1+ Z1 Y 2 Z1 Y 2 Z3
Y 2 1+Y 2 Z3 ]
Solving the different admittances and impedances,
Z1 =0.5 ( R + jωL )∗T Llength
Z1 =26.26+ j 96.52
f =50 Hz
Hence,
26.26+ j 96.52=0.5 ( R+ j(2 π (50))L )∗50
Solving further,
( 26.26+ j 96.52 )∗2
50 = ( R + j(2 π (50)) L )
( R+ j(100 π ) L )=1.05+ j3.86
Therefore, the values of R and L can be obtained as,
R=1.05 Ω per length
L= j 3.86
j 100 π =0.0122 H per length
For Y2,

Y 2= ( G+ jωC )∗T Llength
G= 1
R = 1
1.05 =0.9524
0.001349
50 = ( 0.9524+ j ( 100 π ) C )
−0.95237= j ( 100 π ) C
C=−0.95237
