Overview
The purpose of the transmission lines are used
to connect electric power sources to electric power loads to interconnect neighboring power systems
Since transmission line power losses are proportional to the square (VL2)of the load current, therefore high voltages are used to minimize losses and voltage drop.
For two and three conductor bundles, the equivalent GMRs are:
Two conductor, (s x GMR) Three conductor, 3(s2 x GMR)
Cables
Cable parameters are very different Close spacing, inductive reactance is lower and capacitance is higher For example a 380 kV cable has:
Inductive reactance 0.09-0.16 /km Charging reactive power 13 MVAr/km
Caused by high charging power, a key parameter of cables is the critical length
Cables
Critical Length
The length at which the charging power equals the cable thermal capacity
For Extra High Voltage (EHV) cables, the critical length around 25km
