Power System Overvoltages: Analysis, Modeling and Case Studies

This videotaped tutorial covers a broad range of topics in power system overvoltage studies. Taped at the 1999 Summer Power Meeting in Edmonton, Canada, several industry experts assembled to speak on these areas in power. The presentations include an overview, followed by a discussion of low frequency transients such as electromechanical oscillations, ferroresonance, bus transfer and controller interaction. An in-depth discussion is given for switching surge transients due to operations of transmission lines, cables, transformers, capacitors and inductors and applications of faults. The tutorial also covers lightning overvoltages, very fast front transients in gas insulated substations, power electronics devices in power systems, and protection and relaying.
