Computation of Transients

Transient phenomena in power systems can cause blackouts or plant shutdowns due to sudden faults that redistribute current and voltage. During transients, voltages have three components: fundamental frequency voltages, natural frequency voltages that appear immediately after faults, and harmonic voltages from unbalanced currents in rotating machines. Transients in simple circuits with DC sources, R-C circuits, and R-L circuits can be modeled by equations that describe how current changes over time as switches are opened or closed.

Computation of transients

Introduction:

Transient phenomenon is an aperiodic function and does not last longer. After effects of such
transients may lead to a complete black out in a city or shutting down of a plant or resulting in
fire etc. Any power system can be visualized made up of linear impedance elements i.e.
resistance, inductance and capacitance. Current and Voltage distributions change due to some
sudden fault. This redistribution is generally accompanied by a transient period.

There are two components of voltages in a power system during transient period
 Fundamental Frequency voltages
 Natural Frequency voltages
There is also a third component known as harmonic voltages resulting from unbalanced currents
flowing in rotating machines in which the reactance’s in the direct and quadrature axes are equal.

The Natural frequency voltages appear immediately after the sudden occurrence of a fault. They
simply add to the fundamental frequency voltages. Thus the transient voltage can be treated as a
combination of fundamental and natural frequency voltages.
