  2. Transmission line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_line

    A type of transmission line called a cage line, used for high power, low frequency applications. It functions similarly to a large coaxial cable. It functions similarly to a large coaxial cable. This example is the antenna feed line for a longwave radio transmitter in Poland , which operates at a frequency of 225 kHz and a power of 1200 kW.

  3. Dynamic line rating for electric utilities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_line_rating_for...

    Transmission utilities in Asia, Europe, North America, and South America have included deployment of DLR in their grid development roadmaps. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and International Council on Large Electric Systems (CIGRÉ) devised standard thermal modeling of conductors for ampacity calculations. [ 5 ]

  4. Load-loss factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load-loss_factor

    Multiple empirical formulae exist that relate the loss factor to the load factor (Dickert et al. in 2009 listed nine [5]). Similarly, the ratio between the average and the peak current is called form coefficient k [ 6 ] or peak responsibility factor k , [ 7 ] its typical value is between 0.2 to 0.8 for distribution networks and 0.8 to 0.95 for ...

  5. Overhead power line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_power_line

    For transmission of power across long distances, high voltage transmission is employed. Transmission higher than 132 kV poses the problem of corona discharge, which causes significant power loss and interference with communication circuits. To reduce this corona effect, it is preferable to use more than one conductor per phase, or bundled ...

  6. Impedance matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_matching

    If the source impedance matches the line, reflections from the load end will be absorbed at the source end. If the transmission line is not matched at both ends reflections from the load will be re-reflected at the source and re-re-reflected at the load end ad infinitum, losing energy on each transit of the transmission line. This can cause a ...

  7. Performance and modelling of AC transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_and_modelling...

    The AC transmission line is used for transmitting the bulk of the power generation end to the consumer end. [5] The power is generated in the generating station. The transmission line transmits the power from generation to the consumer end. High-voltage power transmission allows for lesser resistive losses over long distances in the wiring. [5]

  8. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Rural electrification systems tend to use higher distribution voltages because of the longer distances covered by distribution lines (see Rural Electrification Administration). 7.2, 12.47, 25, and 34.5 kV distribution is common in the United States; 11 kV and 33 kV are common in the UK, Australia and New Zealand; 11 kV and 22 kV are common in ...

  9. Electric power transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission

    "Black box" model for transmission line. The terminal characteristics of the transmission line are the voltage and current at the sending (S) and receiving (R) ends. The transmission line can be modeled as a black box and a 2 by 2 transmission matrix is used to model its behavior, as follows:
