| Abstract | The power transmission system plays a very important role in each country. It helps not only interconnection between regions but also to transfer power from sources to load consumer for a longer distance. It requires the long-term planning with large amount of capital investment to construct the robust and efficient power transmission systems in the country. Therefore, it should be studied and evaluated carefully on various issues related with transmission system. Vietnam socioeconomic and energy demand have developed rapidly, recently. The high growth rate in economic and electricity has required more new energy resources as nuclear power plant (NPP) to meet the country demand. To ensure commissions of NPP to enhance energy security of Vietnam power network, it is important to study the power transfer capability of transmission system with NPP. This thesis has conducted the study on the transfer capability of power transmission lines connecting the NPP into Vietnam power grid by 2020 and 2025. The study has considered three alternatives of building those transmissions. The technical conditions of thermal limit and voltage limit of transmission lines have been examined. The software Power System Simulation for Engineering version 29 (PSS/E-v.29) has been used to simulate the power system. The study also presents recommendations about choices of transmission lines under technical and estimated capital investment evaluation. |
