ABSTRACT
This document is a formal report for the project title of “SIMULATION OF EXTRA HIGH
VOLTAGE LONG TRANSMISSION LINE”. The construction of super power stations of very
large capacities necessities the transmission at high voltage. for this we use EHV lines. The
electrical power system mainly consists of three principle divisions the generating stations, the
transmission system and the distribution system. The transmission lines are the connecting links
between generating station and the distribution system and lead to other power system
interconnections.
Now a day, we are using Extra High Voltage (EHV) transmission lines for transmission of power
between the generating station and distribution system. The main purpose of this paper is to study
the performance of EHV long transmission line in the electrical power system and we have to
perform the detect and analysis the result of voltage from simulation using in MATLAB software.
The theoretical backgrounds and software implementations are described. The results obtained are
analyzed and conclusions and inferences are made as appropriate
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Electrical energy is generated in large hydro electric, thermal and nuclear super and super critical
power stations these stations are generally situated far away from the load centers. This necessitates
an extensive power supply network between the generating station and consumer load. This
network may be divided into two parts transmission and distribution the main part of this
transmission system. Transmission line transmits bulk electrical power from sending end to
receiving end stations without supplying any consumer en route and it can be divided into two parts
primary and secondary.[1]
The more the voltages of transmission line the better the performance and efficiency of the system.
For this we use high voltage and extra high voltage transmission lines to transmit electrical power
from the sending end substations to the receiving end substations. At the receiving end substations
the voltage is stepped down to a lower value.
The term high voltage characterizes electrical circuits in which the voltage used is the cause of
particular safety concerns and insulation requirements. High voltage is used in electrical power
distribution, in cathode ray tubes, to generate X-rays and particle beams, to demonstrate arcing, for
ignition, in photomultiplier tubes, and high power amplifier vacuum tubes and other industrial and
scientific applications. Electricity or electrical power are increases day by day and transmits more
electrical power by increasing the transmission line capacity from one sub-station to another sub-
station. The secondary transmission system forms the link between the main receiving end
substations and secondary substations. In the transmission line the voltage can vary as much as 10%
or even 15% DUE TO variation in loads[3,5].
The transmission line is the main energy corridor in a power system. The performance of a power
system is mainly dependent on the performance of the transmission lines in the system. It is
necessary to calculate the voltage current and power at any point on the transmission line provided
the values at one point are known. We are aware that in 3 phase circuit problem it is sufficient to
compute results in one phase and subsequently predict results in the other 2 phases by exploiting the
three phase symmetry. Although the lines are not spaces equilaterally and not transposed the
resulting asymmetry is slight and the phases are considered to be balanced as such transmission line
calculations are also carried out on per phase basis.
The insulation of a line us seldom perfect and leakage currents flow over the surface of insulators
especially during bad weather this leakage is simulated by shunt conductance. The shunt
conductance is in parallel with the system capacitance. Generally the leakage currents are small and
the shunt conductance is ignored in calculations.
The transmission line may be classified as short, medium and long. When the length of the line is
less than about 80km the effect of shunt capacitance can be ignored and the line is designated as a
short line.
When the length is between 80 and 250km the shunt capacitance can be considered as lumped and
the line is termed as medium length line. Lines more than 250km long require calculation in terms
of distributed parameters are knows as long lines.[2,8]
Two factors considered in the classification of a "high voltage" are the possibility of causing a spark
in air, and the danger of electric shock by contact or proximity.
In electric power transmission engineering, high voltage is usually considered any voltage over
approximately 35,000 volts. In digital electronics, a high voltage is the one that represents a logic 1;
this may be only several hundred mill volts for some logic families. In electric power transmission
engineering this refers to equipment designed for more than 345,000 volts between conductors. In
electronics systems, a power supply that provides greater than 275,000 volts is known as an "EHV
Power Supply". It is often used in experiments in physics.[7]
The main purpose of this paper is to study the performance of EHV long transmission line in the
electrical power system and we have to perform the detect and analysis the result of voltage from
simulation using in MATLAB software.
People are populated sparsely have less performance and efficiency of electrical power system due
to voltage drop and power loose transmission line. So people does not perform their duties,
factories, machines and other electrical machineries will not work properly if the efficiency and
performance of the transmission line is low. The more the voltages of transmission line the better
the performance and efficiency of the system. For this we use high voltage and extra high voltage
transmission lines to transmit electrical power from the sending end substations to the receiving end
substations.
Therefore low efficiency and performance of long transmission line problem is solved using extra
high voltage (EHV)because, at high voltages power loss is also reduced because losses are directly
proportional to the square of current. On the other hand the more the voltages of transmission line,
the better the performance and efficiency of the system.
This project covers the simulink bloke design and simulation of extra high voltage (EHV)
long transmission lines.
MATLAB software is used for simulation of EHV long transmission line
1.5 Limitation of the project
During simulation of extra high voltage long transmission line there are two major problems
that we can’t solve
First of all there was no reference to the length of line
Second the type of function performed in solver configuration is unknown
CHAPTER TWO
Extra High Voltage (EHV) A.C. transmission may be considered to have come of age in 1952 when
the first 380–400 kV line was put into service in Sweden. Since then, industrialized countries all
over the world have adopted this and higher voltage levels. Very soon it was found that the impact
of such voltage levels on the environment needed careful attention because of high surface voltage
gradients on conductors which brought interference problems from power frequency to TV
frequencies. Thus electrostatic fields in the line vicinity, corona effects, losses, audible noise, carrier
interference and radio interference became recognized as steady state problems governing the line
conductor design, line height, and phase-spacing to keep the interfering fields within specified
limits. The line-charging current is so high that providing synchronous condensers at load end only
was impractical to control voltages at the sending-end and receiving-end buses. Shunt compensating
reactors for voltage control at no load and switched capacitors at load conditions became necessary.
The use of series capacitors to increase power handling capacity has brought its own problems such
as increased current density, temperature rise of conductors, increased short-circuit current and sub
synchronous resonance. All these are still steady-state problems.
2.2 Theoretical back ground
2.2.1 Transmission system
Electrical transmission system is the means of transmitting power from generating station to
different load centres. Any engineer interested in electrical power transmission must concern
himself or herself with energy problems. The transmission line may be classified as short, medium
and long. When the length of the line is less than about 80km the effect of shunt capacitance can be
ignored and the line is designated as a short line.
When the length is between 80 and 250km the shunt capacitance can be considered as lumped and
the line is termed as medium length line.
Lines more than 250km long require calculation in terms of distributed parameters are knows as
long lines.
2.2.2 Transmission Line Design
The electric lines that generate the most public interest are often high-voltage transmission lines.
These are the largest and most visible electric lines. Most large cities require several transmission
lines for reliable electric service. Figure 2 shows an example of two 345-kV double-circuited
transmission structures sharing the same right-of-way (ROW).
Transmission lines are larger than the more common distribution lines that exist along rural roads
and city streets. Transmission line poles or structures are commonly between 60 and 140 feet tall.
Distribution line structures are approximately 40 to 60 feet tall.
There are several different kinds of transmission structures. Transmission structures can be
constructed of metal or wood. They can be single-poled or multi-poled. They can be single-
circuited, carrying one set of transmission lines or double-circuited with two sets of lines. Figure 2.1
shows a close up of a commonly built double-circuited, single-pole transmission structure.
Over head power transmission lines are classified in the electrical power industry by the range of
voltages :
Low voltage (LV) – less than 1000 volt, used for connection between a residential or small
commercial customer and the utility .
Medium voltage (MV); distribution – between 1000 volts (1kV) and 69 kV, used for distribution in
urban and rural areas.
High voltage (HV; sub transmission less than 100 kV; sub transmission or transmission at voltage
such as 115kV and 138 kV), used for sub transmission and transmission of bulk quantities of
electric power and connection to very large consumer.
Extra high voltage (EHV; transmission) – over 230 kV, up t o about 800 kV, used for long distance,
very high power transmission.
Voltages adopted for transmission of bulk power have to conform to standard specifications
formulated in all countries and internationally. They are necessary in view of import, export, and
domestic manufacture and use. The following voltage levels are recognized per IS-2026 for line-to-
line voltages of 132 kV and higher are summarize in the following tables.
Nominal System 132 220 275 345 400 500 750

There exist two further voltage classes which have found use in the world but have not been
accepted as standard. They are: 1000 kV (1050 kV maximum) and 1150 kV (1200 kV maximum).
The maximum operating voltages specified above should in no case be exceeded in any part of the
system, since insulation levels of all equipment are based upon them. It is therefore the primary
responsibility of a design engineer to provide sufficient and proper type of reactive power at
suitable places in the system. For voltage rises, inductive compensation and for voltage drops,
capacitive compensation must usually be provided.
In order to be able to estimate how much power a single-circuit at a given voltage can handle, we
need to know the value of positive-sequence line inductance and its reactance at power frequency.
Furthermore, in modern practice, line losses caused by I2R heating of the conductors are gaining in
importance because of the need to conserve energy. Therefore, the use of higher voltages than may
be dictated by purely economic consideration might be found in order not only to lower the current,
I to be transmitted but also the conductor resistance R by using bundled conductors comprising of several sub
conductors in parallel. We will utilize average values of parameters for lines with horizontal
configuration as shown in Table 2.2 for preliminary estimates. When line resistance is neglected,
the power that can be transmitted depends upon,

scientific applications. Two factors considered in the classification of a "high voltage" are the
possibility of,
1, causing a spark in air, and
2, the danger of electric shock by contact or proximity
In electric power transmission engineering, high voltage is usually considered any voltage over
approximately 35,000 volts. Electrical transmission and distribution lines for electric power always use
voltages significantly higher than 50 volts, so contact with or close approach to the line conductors presents a
danger of electrocution. With the increase in transmission voltage, for same amount of power to be
transmitted current in the line decreases which reduces I2R losses. This will lead to increase in
transmission efficiency. With decrease in transmission current, size of conductor required reduces
which decreases the volume conductor. The transmission capacity is proportional to square of
operating voltages. Thus the transmission capacity of line increases with increase in voltage. With
increase in level of transmission voltage, the installation cost of the transmission line per km
decreases .It is economical with EHV transmission to interconnect the power systems on a large
scale. The no. of circuits and the land requirement for transmission decreases with the use of higher
transmission voltages.

All these parameters are distributed over the length of the line. The insulation of a line us seldom
perfect and leakage currents flow over the surface of insulators especially during bad weather this
leakage is simulated by shunt conductance. The shunt conductance is in parallel with the system
capacitance. Generally the leakage currents are small and the shunt conductance is ignored in
calculations.
A pair of terminals at which a signal (voltage or current) may enter or leave is called a port

A network having only one pair of terminals is called a one-port network.
box" with a set of distinctive properties, enabling us to abstract away its specific physical buildup,
thus simplifying analysis. Any circuit can be transformed into a two-port network provided that it
does not contain an independent source.
A two-port network is represented by four external variables: voltage and current at the input port,
and voltage and current at the output port, so that the two-port network can be treated as a black box
modeled by the relationships between the four variables Vs, Is, Vr and Ir. There exist six different
ways to describe the relationships between these variables, depending on which two of the four
variables are given, while the other two can always be derived.
• If the network contains dependent sources, one or more of the equivalent resistors may be negative
•Generally, the network is analyzed in the s domain
• Each two-port has exactly two governing equations that can be written in terms of any pair of
network variables as shown bellow in the diagram.
The parameters used in order to describe a two-port network are usually expressed in matrix
notation and they establish relations between the following parameters:
(1)InputvoltageV1
(2)OutputvoltageV2
(3)InputcurrentI1
(4) Output current I2
Consider the power system shown above. In this the sending and receiving end voltages are denoted
by VS and VR respectively. Also the current IS and IR are entering and leaving the network
respectively. The sending end voltage and current are then defined in terms of the ABCD
parameters as,
So,

Note: Here A and D are dimensionless coefficients, B is impedance and C is admittance. A negative
sign is added to the output current I22 in the model, so that the direction of the current is out
out-ward,
for easy analysis of a cascade of multiple network models.
Suppose the currents and voltages can be measured. Alternatively, if the circuit in the box is
known, V1 and V2 can be calculated based on circuit analysis. Relationship can be written in terms
of the impedance parameters. We can also calculate the impedance parameters after making two
sets of measurements.
If the right port is an open circuit ( I2 = 0), then we can easily solve for two of the impedance
parameters:
Z11=v1/I1|I2=0
Z21=V2/I1|I1=0
V1=Z11I1 + Z12I2
V2 = Z22I2 + Z22I2
If the left port is an open circuit ( I 1 = 0), then we can easily solve for the other two impedance
parameters:
z12 = V1/ I2| I1=0
z22 = V2/ I2| I1=0

METHODOLOGY
Generating Transmissio

Resistors are common elements of electrical networks and electronic circuits and are ubiquitous in
electronic equipment. Practical resistors as discrete components can be composed of various
compounds and forms. Resistors are also implemented within integrated circuits. The electrical
function of a resistor is specified by its resistance. common commercial resistors are manufactured
over a range of more than nine orders of magnitude . The nominal value of the resistance will fall
with in a manufacturing tolerance.
The Resistor block models a linear resistor, described with the following equation:
R=V/I
Where R = Resistance
V = Voltage
I = current
Connections + and – are conserving electrical ports corresponding to the positive and negative
terminals of the resistor, respectively. By convention, the voltage across the resistor is given by
V(+) – V(–), and the sign of the current is positive when flowing through the device from the
positive to the negative terminal. This convention ensures that the power absorbed by a resistor is
always positive.
3.3.2 Capacitor
The Capacitor block models a linear capacitor, described with the following equation:
I = [CdV(t)]/dt
Where,
I = Current
V = Voltage
C = Capacitance
t = Time
3.3.3 Inductor
The Inductor block models a linear inductor, described with the following equation:
V = [Ldi(t)]/dt Where,
I Current
V Voltage
L Inductance

The Voltage Sensor block represents an ideal voltage sensor, that is, a device that converts voltage
measured between two points of an electrical circuit into a physical signal proportional to the
voltage.
The AC Voltage Source block implements an ideal AC voltage source. The generated voltage is
described by the following relationship:
Negative values are allowed for amplitude and phase. A frequency of 0 and phase equal to 90
degrees specify a DC voltage source. Negative frequency is not allowed; otherwise the software
signals an error, and the block displays a question mark in the block icon.
3.3.6 Scope
Fig 3.7scope
The Scope block displays its input with respect to simulation time. The Scope block can have
multiple axes (one per port) and all axes have a common time range with independent y-axes. The
Scope block allows you to adjust the amount of time and the range of input values displayed. You
can move and resize the Scope window and you can modify the Scope's parameter values during the
simulation.
Each physical device represented by a connected Simscap block diagram requires global
environment information for simulation. The Solver Configuration block specifies this global
information and provides parameters for the solver that your model needs before you can begin
simulation. Each topologically distinct Simscape block diagram requires exactly one Solver
Configuration block to be connected to it.
3.3.8 Ground
The PS-Simulink Converter block converts a physical signal into a Simulink output signal. Use this
block to connect outputs of a Physical Network diagram to Simulink scopes or other Simulink
blocks.
The Output signal unit parameter lets you specify the desired units for the output signal. These units
must be commensurate with the units of the input physical signal coming into the block. The
Simulink output signal is unit less, but if you specify a desired output unit, the block applies a gain
equal to the conversion factor before outputting the Simulink signal. For example, if the input
physical signal coming into the block is displacement, in meters, and you set Output signal unit to
mm, the block multiplies the value of the input signal by 10e3 before outputting it.
CHAPTER FOUR
Waveforms obtained at the scope block after the completion of simulation is shown bellow.
These wave forms of the simulation are input voltage and output voltage respectively.
CHAPTER FIVE
5.1 Conclusion
From the simulation result of this project we can analyze the performance and efficiency of the
transmission line is depend on the magnitude of input voltage and value of transmission line
parameter (capacitor, inductor and resistor). The more the voltages of transmission line the better
the performance and efficiency of the system.
The input voltage is directly proportional to the resistance of transmission line. That is as the
voltage increases the value of the resistor is also increase.
And also by the study and simulation of Extra High Voltage Transmission lines we have come to
the conclusion that they are best suited for transmission of bulk power.
5.2 Recommendation
Extra high voltage long transmission line provides us a means to use high voltage in a transmission
line for more efficiency and effective power transmission system. Even if our transmission line
model is based only source and transmission parameters, we could not integrate it with proposed
methods like using pi section to demonstrate the length of transmission line. So for those of you
who want to continue this work can add and modify using pi section to determine the length of
transmission line.
