5.5 TWO-PORT NETWORKS
A network can have two terminals or more, but many important
networks in electric energy systems are those with four terminals arranged in
two pairs. A two-terminal pair network might contain a transmission line model
or a transformer model, to name a few in our power system applications. The
box is sometimes called a coupling network, or four-pole, or a two-terminal
pair. The term two-port network is in common use. It is a common mistake to
call it a four-terminal network. In fact, the two-port network is a restricted four-
terminal network since we require that the current at one terminal of a pair must
be equal and opposite to the current at the other terminal of the pair.
An important problem arises in the application of two-port network
theory to electric energy systems, which is called the transmission problem. It is
required to find voltage and current at one pair of terminals in terms of
quantities at the other pair.
The transmission problem is handled by assuming a pair of equations
