Analysis:
As shown in the single-line diagram, a balanced 3-phase transmission line connects generator G1 (at Bus 1 with voltage phase V1θ1) and generator G2 (at Bus 2 with voltage phase V2θ2). The transmission line has a series impedance of Z=ZLθL=R+jX, where R is the resistance and X is the reactance of the line.

Using Bus 2 voltage phase as the reference angle (0°), the voltage at Bus 1 is represented as V1=|V1|δ12 and the voltage at Bus 2 is V2=|V2|0°.
The current I flowing through the transmission line is given by Ohm's Law:

I = V 1 - V 2 Z

The real power loss (Ploss) and reactive power loss (Qloss) in the line are calculated using:

P loss = | I | 2 R

Q loss = | I | 2 X

Case-1 Evaluation:
Given parameters for Case-1:
- |V1|=1.1 p.u., |V2|=0.9 p.u.
- Line impedance Z=0.750° p.u. (purely resistive, so R=0.75 p.u. and reactance X=0 p.u.)
- Voltage angle difference δ12=0°
Substituting these values, the line current I1 is:

I 1 = 1.1 0 ° - 0.9 0 ° 0.75 0 ° = 0.2 0.75 = 0.2667 p.u.

Using the current value to calculate the losses:
- Real power loss in Case-1:

P loss , 1 = | I 1 | 2 R = ( 0.2667 ) 2 × 0.75 0.0533 p.u.

- Reactive power loss in Case-1:

Q loss , 1 = | I 1 | 2 X = ( 0.2667 ) 2 × 0 = 0 p.u.

Case-2 Evaluation:
Given parameters for Case-2:
- |V1|=1.1 p.u., |V2|=0.9 p.u.
- Line impedance Z=0.7590° p.u. (purely inductive, so R=0 p.u. and reactance X=0.75 p.u.)
- Voltage angle difference δ12=90°
Substituting these complex phasor representations:
V1=1.190°=j1.1 and V2=0.90°=0.9
The line current I2 is:

I 2 = 1.1 90 ° - 0.9 0 ° 0.75 90 ° = j 1.1 - 0.9 j 0.75 = 1.1 0.75 + j 0.9 0.75 = 1.4667 + j 1.2 p.u.

The squared magnitude of this current is:

| I 2 | 2 = ( 1.4667 ) 2 + ( 1.2 ) 2 2.1511 + 1.44 = 3.5911 p.u.

Using the current value to calculate the losses:
- Real power loss in Case-2:

P loss , 2 = | I 2 | 2 R = 3.5911 × 0 = 0 p.u.

- Reactive power loss in Case-2:

Q loss , 2 = | I 2 | 2 X = 3.5911 × 0.75 2.6933 p.u.

Comparison of Losses:
1. Real Power Loss:
In Case-1, Ploss,10.0533 p.u., while in Case-2, Ploss,2=0 p.u.
Thus, the real power loss in Case-1 is greater than that in Case-2.

2. Reactive Power Loss:
In Case-1, Qloss,1=0 p.u., while in Case-2, Qloss,22.6933 p.u.
Thus, the reactive power loss in Case-2 is greater than that in Case-1.
