Transmission line power transfer capability depends on: 1. Voltage level 2. Type of conductor 3. Line length Surge Impedance Loading, SIL= (kVL-L)*(kVL-L)/Z0 MW Z0=Sq rt.(L/C) A transmission line loaded to its surge impedance loading: (i) has no net reactive power flow into or out of the line, and (ii) will have approximately a flat voltage profile along its length.
Power Swing which is basically caused by the large disturbances in the power system which if not blocked could cause wrong operation of the distance relay and can generates wrong or undesired tripping of the transmission line circuit breaker. And if not prevented from the generator could cause severe damage to the machine. To prevent unwanted distance or other relay operation during a Power Swing, we did fundamental studies of traditional and advanced detection and prevention methods.

Loadability of a line is limited by : (i) thermal limitation (I2R losses) (ii) voltage regulation (iii) stability limitation
