Transients in Electric Power Systems

After successful completion of the module, students are able to work with appropriate computer programs and are able to:

• interpret transient processes in networks and describe the multi-time scale character of electrical energy systems
• apply modal components in stationary and rotating reference frame and space vectors for the calculation of transients
• describe electrical equipment mathematically for simulations in the time domain
• calculate transient processes after switching operations and faults
• formulate the state-space representation of electric power systems
• use the extended nodal approach and construct an differential-algebraic equation system for electric power systems
• perform a numerical integration of (algebro-)differential equation systems
• use the difference conductance method to calculate transients
• explain the origin of overvoltages and estimate the magnitude of overvoltages
