Chapter 21 Problem 79

Question

Power is generated at 24 kV at a generating plant located 56 km from a town that requires 55 MW of power at 12 kV. Two transmission lines from the plant to the town each have a resistance of \(0.10\ \Omega/km\). What should the output voltage of the transformer at the generating plant be for an overall transmission efficiency of 98.5%, assuming a perfect transformer?

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 21 problem number 79 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Power is generated at 24 kV at a generating plant located 56 km from a town that requires 55 MW of power at 12 kV. Two transmission lines from the plant to the town each have a resistance of \(0.10\ \Omega/km\). What should the output voltage of the transformer at the generating plant be for an overall transmission efficiency of 98.5%, assuming a perfect transformer?
From the textbook chapter Electromagnetic Induction and Faradays Law you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
