Electromagnetic transients program (EMTP): Volume 2, Workbook II: Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5917103
This workbook is the second in a series of books to introduce the EMTP to users. It assumes that the user is familiar with elementary uses of the EMTP and presents more advanced modeling techniques. The workbook uses a case-study approach, where gradually more sophisticated models of the same system are introduced. The book starts with a description of cable modeling and electromagnetic induction. As in Workbook I, the idea is not only to show how to create models using the EMTP, but also how to obtain reasonable values for necessary parameters, and what and how to simulate it. Detailed templates to facilitate the creation of data for the EMTP are also provided. The book then introduces frequency dependent line models. Other topics covered include: statistical studies using EMTP, circuit breaker models and frequency dependent source representation. A final chapter discusses insulation coordination. This last chapter is largely stand-alone, and can be used as an introduction to the material rather than a recapitulation of the book, if so desired. 112 figs.
