Power system transients : theory and applications

As A Transient Phenomenon Can Shut Down A Building Or An Entire City, Transient Analysis Is Crucial To Managing And Designing Electrical Systems. Power System Transients: Theory And Applications Discusses The Basic Theory Of Transient Phenomena—including Lumped- And Distributed-parameter Circuit Theories—and Provides A Physical Interpretation Of The Phenomena. It Covers Novel And Topical Questions Of Power System Transients And Associated Overvoltages. Using Formulas Simple Enough To Be Applied Using A Pocket Calculator, The Book Presents Analytical Methods For Transient Analysis. It Examines The Theory Of Numerical Simulation Methods Such As The Emtp (circuit-theory Based Approach) And Numerical Electromagnetic Analysis. The Book Highlights Transients In Clean Or Sustainable Energy Systems Such As Smart Grids And Wind Farms, Since They Require A Different Approach Than Overhead Lines And Cables. Simulation Examples Provided Include Arcing Horn Flashover, A Transient In A Grounding Electrode, And An Induced Voltage From A Lightning Channel.
