Review and importance of the study of transients - causes for transients. RL circuit transient
with sine wave excitation - double frequency transients - basic transforms of the RLC circuit
transients. Different types of power system transients - effect of transients on power systems
role of the study of transients in system planning.
UNIT II SWITCHING TRANSIENTS
Over voltages due to switching transients - resistance switching and the equivalent circuit for
interrupting the resistor current - load switching and equivalent circuit - waveforms for
transient voltage across the load and the switch - normal and abnormal switching transients.
Current suppression - current chopping - effective equivalent circuit. Capacitance switching effect of source regulation - capacitance switching with a restrike, with multiple restrikes.
Illustration for multiple restriking transients - ferro resonance.
UNIT III LIGHTNING TRANSIENTS
Review of the theories in the formation of clouds and charge formation - rate of charging of
thunder clouds mechanism of lightning discharges and characteristics of lightning strokes
model for lightning stroke - factors contributing to good line design - protection using ground
wires tower footing resistance - Interaction between lightning and power system.
UNIT IV
TRANSIENTS
Computation of transients - transient response of systems with series and shunt lumped
parameters and distributed lines. Traveling wave concept - step response - Bewelys lattice
diagram standing waves and natural frequencies - reflection and refraction of travelling
waves.
UNIT V TRANSIENTS IN INTEGRATED POWER SYSTEM
