Statistical Switching Overvoltage Studies of Optimized Unconventional High Surge Impedance Loading Lines via Numerical Laplace Transform Article uri icon

abstract

  • The development of a revolutionary design for transmission lines was recently introduced by shifting phase configurations and sub-conductors into %27unconventional%27 arrangements that were geometrically optimized to maximize natural power. The objective of this paper is to study the electromagnetic transients that result from the simultaneous and sequential line energization and re-energization of the previously developed unconventional high surge impedance loading (HSIL) lines. Statistical switching overvoltage (SSOV) studies are performed using a frequency domain method based on the inverse numerical Laplace transform. Compared to a conventional line, all unconventional HSIL line designs studied in this paper lead to very similar surges for long line lengths (400 km) and similar values for short line lengths (100 km), indicating additional advantages of these lines. The use of a frequency domain method for SSOV studies offers enhanced accuracy, simulation flexibility, and substantially lower computational burden compared with traditional time-domain methods. © 1986-2012 IEEE.
