Power System Electromagnetic Transient Simulation Using A Semi-Analytical Approach, Min Xiong

Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation investigates efficient power system electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulations using a semi-analytical approach.

First, based on state-space equations of system EMT models, a semi-analytical solution (SAS) is acquired using the Differential Transformation Method (DTM). The DTM can efficiently derive the SAS of any linear or nonlinear system as a power series in time in a recursive manner using well-developed transformation rules. A high-order SAS allows a large time step to speed up the simulation while maintaining the same level of accuracy. Also, a variable time step approach is proposed to further improve its efficiency. Case studies on multiple systems …
