Question: A 2 7 5 kV , 5 0 Hz overhead line is rated at 7 5 0 MVA and is 2 5 km long. It

A 275kV,50 Hz overhead line is rated at 750MVA and is 25km long. It has the
following parameters: r=0.034/km, x=0.323/km, y=3.610-6S/km. As part of an
urban renewal project, it is intended to replace this overhead line with an
underground cable with the following parameters: r=0.025/km, x=0.22/km,
y=2.510-4S/km. Assuming that power factor and voltage at the receiving end are
0.92 lagging and 270kV respectively and that the cable follows the same route as
the overhead line, calculate:
a) The sending end voltage of the overhead line at rated load and at minimum load
of 10% rated load.
b) The expected sending end voltage of the cable under the same loading
conditions.
c) The expected sending end voltage of the cable at minimum load when a
200MVAr reactor is added at the receiving end.
