Course content
The course presents methods for accurate calculation of transients in electrical power systems. Main content: - Summary of types of transients. - Modelling of components with focus on overhead lines, cables and transformers, but also machines and circuit breakers are covered. - Analysis of travelling wave problems. Formulation and solutions in time and frequency domain when losses and distortion is taken into account. Fourier transforms, modal analysis, and vector fitting. - Description and analysis of ferroresonance and inrush currents in transformers.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: After completing the course, the student shall: - understand the principles for accurate modeling and calculation of overvoltages in power systems - understand the feasibility of models for various phenomena - have achieved a detailed understanding in methods for advanced modeling of transmission lines, cables and transformers valid under stationary and transient conditions.
