Question 1. Transmission efficiency (25 points)
Figure 1. Per-phase transmission efficiency diagram for question 1.
a. Consider the simplified per-phase power transmission diagram of Figure 1, with an ideal transformer placed near the load impedance. The load voltage is a constant \(\left|\hat{V}_{L}\right|=480 V_{R M S}\) and 120MW of 3-phase load power is being transmitted 100 km over 00AWG (9.2565 mm diameter) solid aluminum conductors. For this analysis, assume the transmission line is purely resistive.
i.(10 pts) Calculate the total AC transmission resistance of the 100 km long wire, assuming room temperature (300K).
ii. What (8 pts) transmission phase voltage magnitude \(\left|\hat{V}_{\text {trans }}\right|\)(in RMS volts) and transformer (7 pts) turns ratio 'a' is required to achieve a minimum transmission efficiency of \(90\%\) at this power level?
