Transmission Lines: - Bhanu Bhushan

This document discusses key concepts related to electrical power transmission lines including losses, thermal capacity, expansion, sag, and corona. It also covers voltage drop, power angle stability limits, charging current effects, and the Ferranti effect. Typical parameters are given for a 400kV twin-Moose transmission line including resistance, reactance, and charging reactance values per km. For a 300km line, calculations are provided for power losses of 9MW and reactive power losses of 99-167MVAR with a thermal capacity of 400MVA. Various techniques are also listed for improving transmission line performance such as shunt reactors, series capacitors, and auto-reclosing.
