Overvoltage Transients Simulation
Overvoltage Transients Simulation
(OP)
Dear members,
I would appreciate if i can some suggestions regarding literature and publications or examples related to the modelling of networks for switching overvoltages.
Thank you.

RE: Overvoltage Transients Simulation
Allan Greenwood had a pretty good book on transients, Electrical Transients in Power Systems. I'm sure others will post suggestions.
What is your main interest - Line switching, capacitor bank switching, etc. - or all of the above?
RE: Overvoltage Transients Simulation
I am reviewing these 3 references but would like to know if there are any other recommendations:
- Transients in Power Systems - L. van der Sluis
- Power System Transients - Parameter Determination - J. Martinez-Velasco
- Power Systems Electromagnetic Transients Simulation - N. R. Watson
Thank you.

Dommel's EMTP theory book (www.dee.ufrj.br/Transm_Energia/Arquivos/EMTPTB.PDF) is also pretty good (and also free).
RE: Overvoltage Transients Simulation
Now i know exactly what i need to model. It is a switching over-voltage following a fault (breaker opening). The network is mainly passive (no generation just public grid) and the loads are static.
So my question is what is needed to be modeled as opposed to steady-state modelling. For example if the switching event was for energization the transformer core saturation should be modeled accurately along with the stray capacitance but in this case i guess only the stray capacitance is important.
Finally what would be the equivalent model for the cables going away from the fault point (i.e. away from the point of interest).
Thank you.
