Radial Network Voltage Profile
Radial Network Voltage Profile
(OP)
Hi,
In a radial network, we can analyze it as a series circuit. The voltage decreases towards the load is due to the reactances along the lines and transformer which requires reactive power. Is there any other factors that contribute to the voltage decrease? Thanks.

RE: Radial Network Voltage Profile
- the loads and load distribution along the circuit
- the line voltage
- the conductor sizes
- the types of conductors (overhead versus underground cable)
- distances
- presence of capacitor banks
- presence of voltage regulators
RE: Radial Network Voltage Profile
The presence of capacitor banks and voltage regulators (transformer) are supposed to help the network voltage stability. What I am thinking now is the cause of voltage decrease.

Sounds like a student posting.
RE: Radial Network Voltage Profile
If loads are unbalanced, you must take this into consideration and factor in the impedance in the neutral/ground return path.

Makes no sense what so ever.

jghrist,
As far as what I understand, the reactive power affects the voltage and active power flow is affected by phase angle.
