The relationships between the sending and receiving end voltages
and currents are given by the complex ABCD equations:

(a) Given the parameter values in TABLE C and an open-circuit received
voltage measured as 88.9 kV, calculate the values of VS and IS and
hence the power (PSO) absorbed from the supply by
transmission line on open circuit.
