Efficiency of Transmission Line
The efficiency of Transmission line means the amount of the electrical power that is received from the receiving end that was sent from the sending end. It depends on many factors like –
- Length of the Conductor
- Voltage Level
- Material by which conductor is made up of
- Size of the conductor
- Distance
- Capacitance
- Inductance
- Resistance
Efficiency Calculation
Efficiency of Transmission line is calculated by the ratio of the receiving end [Tex]P_R[/Tex] to the sending end [Tex]P_S[/Tex]. It’s value is expressed in percentage.
[Tex]\%\eta T= \frac{P_R}{P_S}\times 100[/Tex]
The ratio of receiving end power to the sending end power of a transmission line is called as the transmission efficiency of the line.
%Transmission Efficiency [Tex]\eta T=\frac{Receiving end power}{Sending end power} \times 100 [/Tex]
[Tex]=\frac{V_RI_Rcos\phi R}{V_SI_Scos\phi R} \times 100[/Tex]
Here, [Tex]V_R,I_R and cos\phi_R[/Tex] are at receiving end voltage, current and power factor while [Tex]V_S,I_S and cos\phi _S [/Tex]
How to Improve Efficiency
There are many ways in which we can improve efficiency like
- Use high voltage transmission lines.
- Lessen the length of the transmission line.
- We should manage the power properly that means reactive power management should be there.
