The project makes use of your power-flow solver for system analysis and design. The system of interest is the Eagle Power System (adopted from [1]) displayed as a one-line diagram in figures 1 and 2. The three specific tasks assigned to you are:
(a) All voltages should be in the range from 0.94 to 1.06 p.u. (b) All transmission lines should be carrying less power than their thermal and practical stability limits. (c) All generation should satisfy real and reactive power limits.
(a) Total generation capacity is 1, 500 MW, so there should be ample generation to supply the increase in total load. Generation does should be added or moved. (b) Transmission voltages of 161kV or 69kV, tower configurations shown in figure 3 and conductors listed in table 5 are available. (c) Seek a minimum cost design. The price of various equipment (from which you may select) and installation is specified later in this document. (d) Line routes should follow existing transmission lines to take advantage of the right- of-way. These are assumed to only run North-South or East-West. (e) Buses with loads under 30 MVA should be served at 69 kV and buses with loads over 50 MVA should be served at 161 kV. Buses with loads between 30 and 50 MVA may be served at either voltage. (f) Achieve enough redundancy that each load has two transmission lines, each from a different bus.
2 Report
Write a report that documents your analysis and design process to include development of the base case data and power-flow, and the new design’s configuration, cost, power-flow and performance.

4 Equipment and Construction Costs
Line costs are provided in table 5 for the tower-conductor combinations available. Costs are in $ per mile and include the costs of conductors, right-of-way, structures, shield wires, etc.

Table 5: Line costs in $/mile.
Assume space exists for expansion at existing substations (buses 1-17), but if you add a new substation the cost will be $300,000 for land, fences, grading, structures, etc. New transmission lines require a circuit breaker (switch) and termination at each end of the line. The cost of a circuit breaker and its installation is given in table 6. The cost of new 69 kV-161 kV transformers (including installation and circuit breakers) is shown in table 7.
Capacitor banks can be added to a load bus to increase the load’s power factor and to increase the bus voltage during heavy load conditions. The costs associated with a three-phase capacitor bank are given in table 8.
Item Price Installation and associated equipment $60,000 per bank Capacitors $300 per 100 kVAR
