TransmissionSystem:
NominalVoltageLevels
Whydotransmissionsystemsoperateatmanydifferent
voltagelevels?
Power=Voltage*Current
Thusforagivenpower,ifyouuseahighervoltage,thenthecurrentwill
belower
Whydowecare?TransmissionLosses
Losses=Resistance*(Current)2
Example:Whatifwewanttotransmit460MW?
At230kV,thatmeans2,000Amps
At115kV,thatmeans4,000Amps
BecausecurrentisTwiceashighfor115kV,thatmeansthelosses
wouldbe4timeshigher
ThusHigherVoltageisbetter,butmoreexpensive,thus
thereisatradeoff
