Graphical user interface based model for transmission line performance implementation in power system

Transmission line is one of the important elements in the process of power transfer from the source of generation to the consumer. In order to analyze the performance of a transmission line, it has to be represented by an equivalent model with suitable circuit parameters at a per phase basis. The line models are used to measure voltages, currents and the amount of power flow depending on the line length. Transmission line performance is determined by the voltage regulation and its efficiency under their normal operating conditions. In this study, a systematic approach was developed in order to assists the lecturers in teaching this important topic to the students despite so many complicated mathematical equations involved in the calculation. With the aid of Graphical User Interface (GUI), the performance of transmission line can be determined and monitored due to the change of line parameters. The results obtained could assist the lecturers in delivering the concept of engineering in a more systematic approach. On top of that, it could also assist the power system utility in planning the transmission line that needed to be installed in the system.
