Problem

An inland tie-line operates at

275\,\mathrm{kV}

and has a series reactance of

0.35\,\Omega\,\mathrm{km^{-1}}

over its length of

300\,\mathrm{km}

. Resistance and charging current may be ignored. The voltage magnitude is the same,

275\,\mathrm{kV}

, at both ends. ((a)) Find the line's total reactance

X

. ((b)) Find the maximum real power the line can transfer between its ends.
