Accurate knowledge of electromagnetic power system transients is crucial
to the operation of an economic, efficient and environmentally friendly
power systems network without compromising on the reliability and
quality of electrical power supply. Electromagnetic transient (EMT)
simulation has therefore become a universal tool for the analysis of
power system electromagnetic transients in the range of nanoseconds to
seconds, and is the backbone for the design and planning of power
systems, as well as for the investigation of problems.
In this fully revised and updated new edition of this classic book, a
thorough review of EMT simulation is provided, with many simple examples
included to clarify difficult concepts. Topics covered include analysis
of continuous and discrete systems; state variable analysis; numerical
integrator substitution; the root-matching method; transmission lines
and cables; transformers and rotating plant; control and protection;
power electronic systems; frequency-dependent network equivalents;
steady-state assessment; mixed time-frame simulation; transient
simulation in real-time; and applications.
