Transmission Line Models Previous lectures have covered how to calculate the distributed inductance, capacitance and resistance of transmission lines. In this section we will use these distributed parameters to develop the transmission line models used in power system analysis. 2
Transmission Line Equivalent Circuit Our current model of a transmission line is shown below Units on z and y are per unit length! For operation at frequency , let z = r + j L and y = g +j C (with g usually equal 0) 3
Derivation of V, I Relationships We can then derive the following relationships: dV I z dx dI V dV y dx dV x dI x zI dx = = + ( ) V y dx ( ) ( ) dx = = yV 4

Real Hyperbolic Functions For real x the cosh and sinh functions have the following form: cosh( dx ) sinh( dx ) d x d x = sinh( = cosh( ) ) x x 8
Complex Hyperbolic Functions For x = + j the cosh and sinh functions have the following form = = + + cosh sinh cosh cos sinh cos sinh sin cosh sin x x j j 9
Determining Line Voltage The voltage along the line is determined based upon the current/voltage relationships at the terminals. Assuming we know V and I at one end (say the "receiving end" with V and I where x determine the constants K and K , and hence the voltage at any point on the line. 0) we can R R 1 2 10
