19. Transmission Matrix Model Oftentimes we’re only interested in the terminal characteristics of the transmission line. Therefore we can model it as a “black box”. VSVS VRVR ++ -- ISIS IRIR Transmission Line 18

28. Power Transfer in Lossless Lines 27

29. Limits Affecting Max. Power Transfer Thermal limits – limit is due to heating of conductor and hence depends heavily on ambient conditions. – For many lines, sagging is the limiting constraint. – Newer conductors limit can limit sag. For example, in 2004 ORNL working with 3M announced lines with a core consisting of ceramic Nextel fibers. These lines can operate at 200 degrees C. – Trees grow, and will eventually hit lines if they are planted under the line. 28

30. Other Limits Affecting Power Transfer Angle limits – while the maximum power transfer occurs when line angle difference is 90 degrees, actual limit is substantially less due to multiple lines in the system Voltage stability limits – as power transfers increases, reactive losses increase as I 2 X. As reactive power increases the voltage falls, resulting in a potentially cascading voltage collapse. 29

31. Transformers Overview Power systems are characterized by many different voltage levels, ranging from 765 kV down to 240/120 volts. Transformers are used to transfer power between different voltage levels. The ability to inexpensively change voltage levels is a key advantage of ac systems over dc systems. In this section we’ll development models for the transformer and discuss various ways of connecting three phase transformers. 30
