Long Transmission Line:

Solution of the Differential Equations
(Rigorous Method)
The exact solution of any transmission line and the one
required for a high degree of accuracy in calculating 60
Hz lines more than 250 km long must consider the fact
that the parameters of the lines are not lumped but are
distributed uniformly throughout the length of the line.
Figure 1.1 shows one phase and the neutral connection
of a three-phase line. Lumped parameters are not shown
because we are ready to consider the solution of the line
with the impedance and admittance uniformly distributed.

Problem 1:
A 3-phase 765kV, 60Hz, 300km, completely
transposed line has the following positive
sequence impedance and admittance:
z = 0.0165 + j0.3306 ohm/km
y = j4.674x10-6 S/km

Assuming positive sequence operation, calculate

the exact ABCD parameters of the line.

Problem 2:
A 3-phase transmission line 200km long has the
following constants:
Resistance/phase/km = 0.16 ohm
Reactance/phase/km = 0.25 ohm
Shunt admittance/phase/km = 1.5x10-6 S

Calculate by rigorous method the sending end

voltage and current when the line is delivering a
load of 20 MW at 0.8 pf lagging. The receiving end
voltage is kept constant at 110 kV.
