A 50 Hz transmission line 300 km long has a total series impedance of 40 +j125 Q and total shunt admittance
of 0,001 1/Q, both for positive sequence. The shunt admittance is a pure capacitive susceptance, shunt
conductance being zero. The receiving-end load is SO MW at 220 kV (Ug line-to-line voltage) with 0.8 lagging
power factor. Determine the ABCD parameters using nominal x equivalent. Find the receiving end current Jr,
sending end voltage Vs, sending end current /s and sending end active power. [6]
(a) For the circuit shown in Figure 1, determine the nodal voltage solution using one iteration round of the
power flow Newton-Raphson method. Select bus | to be the slack bus, with a voltage magnitude of 1.0
p.u. and 0 phase angle. The voltage magnitude at bus 2 is also kept at I p.u. To start the iterative solution,
assume 0 voltage phase angle at bus 2. Notice that synchronous generator at bus 2, is injecting 0.5 p.u. of
active power at bus 2. [4]
(b) Describe briefly, how the current and power flow according to solution of Newton-Raphson method (no
need to calculate) can be determined? [2]

Q3 The power circuit of Figure 2 undergoes a single-phase-to-ground fault (conductor in phase A) in Bus 4.

transmission lines and the transformer (2].
