Transient voltage and current distributions on transmission lines

摘要

Transient conditions such as switching operations and faults cause the generation of travelling waves on power transmission lines. Spatial current and voltage distributions on the transmission line are computed in the time domain using the state-space technique. The state-space representations of the transmission lines for short- and open-circuit faults and for various types of terminations are given. The results obtained by the method are compared with the solutions obtained in the frequency domain.
