For different damping co-efficients like 0, 5 and - 5, the p.u.

values of the given system on a 1500 MVA, 25 kV base are

as follows :

P = 1 p.u., Q = 0·3 p.u., V = 1 ∠17˚ , E0 = 0·99 ∠0˚,

| x L1 | = | x L2 | = 0·5, |xtr | = 0·2, |xd I | = 0·25,

H = 3 MWS/mVA, f = 50 Hz.

All voltage magnitudes and reactances are expressed in p.u.

8. For an uncompensated long transmission line show that

reactive power requirement is governed by QR = – QS under

certain simplifying assumptions. Hence, show that at SIL

reactive power flow becomes zero.
