Abstract |
|
This paper presents the analysis of power factor effect on 66 KV transmission lines (SFC-1, SFC-2, FTS, FTS-3) from Vajamangala 220/66/11 station based on 2014 yearly data. Power factor plays an important role in the electrical power system, especially in the transmission and distribution side. Power factor is low in some-months of the year in these four 66 kV transmission lines. Especially power factor is poor in SFC-1 line, almost throughout the year 2014. So this line is a major concern. The distance of SFC-1 and SFC-2 lines from Shivanasamudra generating station to Vajamangala 220/66/11 station is approximately 50 KMs. Power factor in these transmission lines reduces drastically in an unusual way during sometimes in a year 2014. Optimum solution is obtained through proper analysis based on 2014 yearly collected data from the Karnataka Power Transmission and Corporation Limited (KPTCL). |
