A high-voltage direct-current generating station delivers 10 MW of power at 250 kV to a city, as depicted in Fig. P2.12. The city is represented by resistance RL and each of the two wires of the transmission line between the generating station and the city is represented by resistance RTL. The distance between the two locations is 2000 km and the transmission lines are made of 10 cm diameter copper wire. Determine (a) how much power is consumed by the transmission line and (b) 12 V I0 _

The answer is below

Explanation:

The resistivity of copper is ρ = 1.72 * 10⁻⁸ Ωm, diameter d = 10 cm = 0.1 m

The resistance (R) of transmission line is given as:

Rtl = ρL / A; where ρ = resistivity of copper = 1.72 * 10⁻⁸ Ωm, L = length of transmission line = 2000 km = 2000000 m, A is the area of the wire = πd²/4 = π(0.1)²/4

Power =

Power = 10 MW = 10 * 10⁶ W

a) Since there are two tranmission lines, the power consumed by the lines is:

b) The energy generated by the source = 10 * 10⁶ W + 14080 W = 10014080 W

Fraction used = 10 * 10⁶ / 10014080 * 100% = 99.86%
