EXPERIMENT 2
Transmission Line Parameters
Objectives
To expose the basic programming of MATLAB using M-Files editor that can be
used in power system analysis.
To know how to use MATLAB for calculating transmission line parameters.
Tools
(1) MATLAB
Introduction
The purpose of transmission network is to transfer electric energy from generating units
at a various locations to the distribution system which ultimately supplies the loads.
Transmission lines also interconnected neighboring utilities which permits not only
economic dispatch of power regions during normal condition, but also transfer of power
between regions during emergencies. All transmission lines in power system exhibit the
electrical properties if resistance, inductance, capacitance and conductance. The
inductance and capacitance are due to the effects of magnetic and electric fields around
the conductor.
This experiment is to expose the student how to use MATLAB as a tool that can be used
to calculate the transmission line parameters.
Line resistance
The resistance of the conductor is very important in transmission efficiency evaluation
and economic studies. The dc resistance of a solid round conductor at a specified
temperature is given by:
Rdc =

Example:
A single-phase transmission line 35 km long consists of two solid round conductors, each
having a diameter of 0.9 cm. The conductor spacing is 2.5 m, calculate the equivalent
diameter of a fictitious hollow, thin-walled conductor having the same equivalent
inductance as the original line. What is the value of the inductance per conductor?
Solution:
Initially, the calculation for the example above is as follow:

Sample program:
length = 35;
r = 0.9/2 %actual radius;
r1 = r*exp(-0.25) % GMR;
d = 2*r1 % equivalent diameter
L = 0.2*log(2.5/0.35e-2)
L1 = L*length
The comparison between calculation and MATLAB gives the same result!
