Hoima–Kinyara–Kafu High Voltage Power Line

Hoima–Kinyara–Kafu High Voltage Power Line is a physics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Hoima–Kinyara–Kafu High Voltage Power Line rather than just read about it. In short: The Hoima–Kinyara–Kafu High Voltage Power Line is a planned high voltage electricity power line, connecting the high voltage substation at Kabaale, Buseruka sub-county, Hoima District, in the Western Region of Uganda to another high voltage substation at Kafu, Nakasongola District, in the Central Region of Uganda. On the way, the power line passes through Kinyara Sugar Works, in Masindi District.

Reference excerpt

The Hoima–Kinyara–Kafu High Voltage Power Line is a planned high voltage electricity power line, connecting the high voltage substation at Kabaale, Buseruka sub-county, Hoima District, in the Western Region of Uganda to another high voltage substation at Kafu, Nakasongola District, in the Central Region of Uganda. On the way, the power line passes through Kinyara Sugar Works, in Masindi District.

Location The power line starts in the village of Kabaale, Buseruka sub-county, Hoima District, in the Western Region of Uganda, at a 220kV substation there. The power line would travel in a general north-easterly direction to the Kinyara Sugar Works, in Masindi District, through another 220kV substation there, and continue on to terminate at Kafu, in Nakasongola District, at a 220kV substation that is connected to the Karuma–Kawanda High Voltage Power Line, a total distance of 92 kilometres (57 mi).

Overview This power line is intended to increase and strengthen the supply of grid electricity to the Western Region of Uganda. The four main objectives are as follows: The first objective is to connect the region to the 600 megawatts Karuma Hydroelectric Power Station through the connection at Kafu. The second objective is to pick up co-generation at Kinyara Sugar Works, where energy production is expected to be stepped up from 14 megawatts to 45 megawatts. The third objective is to pick up any power from the Hoima oil fields, including the proposed 100 megawatts natural gas-fired Nzizi Thermal Power Station. The fourth objective is to bring power to the Hoima Metropolis including the Uganda Oil Refinery, the Kabaale International Airport, the city of Hoima and the Ugandan end of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline. At its southern end, in Hoima District, this transmission line will connect to the existing 226 kilometres (140 mi), 220kV Nkenda–Fort Portal–Hoima High Voltage Power Line, which was completed in 2018.

Construction As of 2018, this power line was marked as "Under Procurement". Funding is expected through a loan from the International Development Association, a member of the World Bank Group.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Hoima–Kinyara–Kafu High Voltage Power Line

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Hoima–Kinyara–Kafu High Voltage Power Line claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Hoima–Kinyara–Kafu High Voltage Power Line before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Hoima–Kinyara–Kafu High Voltage Power Line ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Hoima–Kinyara–Kafu High Voltage Power Line

In research: Hoima–Kinyara–Kafu High Voltage Power Line appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Hoima–Kinyara–Kafu High Voltage Power Line in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Hoima–Kinyara–Kafu High Voltage Power Line is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Energy in Uganda, High-voltage transmission lines in Uganda, Proposed electric power infrastructure in Uganda, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Hoima–Kinyara–Kafu High Voltage Power Line outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
