    The document discusses AC power transmission and describes two models - a lossless line model and a resistive-inductive (RL) line model. The lossless model shows that power only flows when there is a phase difference between sending and receiving end voltages, and there is a theoretical limit to how much power can be transmitted. The RL model introduces line resistance and derives equations for active and reactive power transfer. It also shows that a PV curve identifies the voltage stability limit as the "nose point" where the receiving end voltage collapses as power loading increases.
