Transient events are short-lived bursts of energy in electrical systems caused by faults, switching operations, or sudden changes in generation and load. With the increasing expansion of high-voltage (HV) cable grids and the interconnection of national grids to enhance flexibility, understanding the impact of transients is essential to ensuring both supply security and power quality.
This book provides a comprehensive treatment of modeling transients in HV cable systems, grounded in complete solutions of Maxwell’s equations. It covers methods to model high-frequency phenomena, investigates impedance and admittance at very low frequencies for HVDC systems, and details modeling approaches for underground cables within the Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP). The text further examines wave propagation characteristics in overhead lines and underground cables, as well as steady-state and transient behavior of three-phase cables. Finally, real-world case studies from large interconnected HV cable networks in Denmark and the Netherlands demonstrate practical applications.
Electromagnetic Transients in Large HV Cable Networks is a vital resource for researchers, HV equipment manufacturers, and grid operators seeking to model, simulate, and mitigate transient phenomena in large-scale power systems.
