Energy loss is I^2*R losses. Calculate the transmission line resistance, and multiply by the current squared per unit time (seconds if in watt/seconds, for example).

What is the amount of power loss on a transmission line that is transmitting 10 MW at 500 kV with 1000 ohms?

Line current = 10MW / 500kV = 20A Assuming the 1000 ohms is the resistance of the entire transmission line, end to end. Power loss = line current ^ 2 * line resistance = 20A ^ 2 * 1000 ohms = 400 KW


What is formula for calculation of line loss?

Line loss equations are complicated by transmission environment and temperature?Transmission env. - Include wire type, bus impedance in switching fields, etc.Temperature - Temperature can change the wire resistance and thus line loss.Electric energy is transported across the countryside with high-voltage lines because the line losses are much smaller than with low-voltage lines.All wires currently used have some resistance (the development of high-temperature superconductors will probably change this some day). Let's call the total resistance of the transmission line leading from a power station to your local substation R. Let's also say the local community demands a power P=IV from that substation. This means the current drawn by the substation is I=P/V and the higher the transmission line voltage, the smaller the current. The line loss is given by Ploss=I²R, or, substituting for I,Ploss = P²R/V²Since P is fixed by community demand, and R is as small as you can make it (using big fat copper cable, for example), line loss decreases strongly with increasing voltage. The reason is simply that you want the smallest amount of current that you can use to deliver the power P. Another important note: the loss fractionPloss/P = PR/V²increases with increasing load P: power transmission is less efficient at times of higher demand. Again, this is because power is proportional to current but line loss is proportional to current squared. Line loss can be quite large over long distances, up to 30% or so. By the way, line loss power goes into heating the transmission line cable which, per meter length, isn't very much heat.


What is Corona power loss in transmission line?

Corona Fields arround a transmission line is the high electric field caused by the transmission line causing the surrounding air to ionise and conduct electricity. As this ionisation requires a current to maintain, this causes a loss associated with the corona.


What type cable has the highest resistance to noise and carry a signal the longest distance?

The type of cable that enables the longest transmission with the lowest loss is called Goubau line, or G-line, for short. This line has far less loss than either coaxial cable or parallel line (twinlead). By using conical shaped "launchers", G-line creates a type of waveguide.


What is theadvantage of DC transmission?

(1) For a given load there are less losses along a d.c. transmission line. (2) There are no synchronisation problems when linking independent a.c. grid systems. (3) There are no a.c. capacitive-loss currents in d.c. undersea cables, whose capacitance is large, due to closeness of line conductors.

Wires that do not have insulators there energy gets lost into the surroundings as?

Line loss, or heating of the wires. The insulators prevent the loss of energy.

In the transmission of electricity how is some of the energy lost?

The bulk of the energy lost is due to the resistance of the transmission lines - the so-called I squared R loss. The squared bit of this explains why long distance lines run at such high voltage; if you multiply the voltage by 10 the current reduces by a factor of 10. The I2R loss then reduces by a factor of 100. Actual lines increase the voltage by more than a thousand times, thus reducing losses more than a millionfold.There are some other losses due toeddy currents in the transformerscapacitive leakagecorona dischargesskin effect. This last one is why some of the extra-high-wattage links use DC.


How is energy loss reduced during transmitted from power stations to homes?

Energy loss is reduced during transmission from power stations to homes by using high-voltage transmission lines that can carry electricity efficiently over long distances. Transformers are used to step up the voltage at the power station and step it down at the homes, minimizing energy loss during transmission. Additionally, regular maintenance of transmission lines and equipment helps to keep the system running efficiently.


How do you compute ROE if there is loss and negative equity?
