Question: Power is generated at 24 kV at a generated plant located 118 km from a town that requires 50 MW of power at 12 kV.

Power is generated at 24 kV at a generated plant located 118 km from a town that requires 50 MW of power at 12 kV. Two transmission lines from the plant to the town each have a resistance of 0.10 Ω /km. What should the output voltage of the transformer at the generating plant be for an overall transmission efficiency of 98.5% assuming a perfect transformer?
