Reference excerpt

The Nkenda–Mpondwe–Beni High Voltage Power Line is a proposed high voltage electricity power line, connecting the high voltage substation at Nkenda, in Kasese District, in the Western Region of Uganda, to another high voltage substation at Beni, in North Kivu Province, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Location The 220kV power line, begins at the substation at Nkenda, in Kasese District, Western Uganda. The line travels in a south-westerly direction through Mpondwe, to Kasindi, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. There, it takes a general north-westerly course, to end at Beni, North Kivu Province, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The distance traveled by this power line in Uganda is approximately 73 kilometres (45 mi). The line travels approximately 80 kilometres (50 mi), in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Overview This power line is planned to transmit electricity to the eastern parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as part the regional power-sharing protocols of the Nile Equatorial Lakes Subsidiary Action Program. Uganda plans to sell electricity to neighboring countries, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, after Karuma Hydroelectric Power Station and Isimba Hydroelectric Power Station become operational in 2019. The government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo has plans to extend the high-voltage power line to Bunia and Butebo.

Construction The two governments are in discussions on how to fund the construction of the power line, using loans from the African Development Bank, with each country being responsible for the portion of the line in her territory.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Nkenda–Mpondwe–Beni High Voltage Power Line

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Nkenda–Mpondwe–Beni 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 Nkenda–Mpondwe–Beni 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 Nkenda–Mpondwe–Beni 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 Nkenda–Mpondwe–Beni High Voltage Power Line

In research: Nkenda–Mpondwe–Beni 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 Nkenda–Mpondwe–Beni 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: Nkenda–Mpondwe–Beni High Voltage Power Line is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Energy in Uganda, Energy in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Energy infrastructure in Africa, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Nkenda–Mpondwe–Beni 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.
