OBJECTIVES:

• To study the generation of switching transients and their control using circuit – theoretical concept.
• To study the mechanism of lighting strokes and the production of lighting surges.
• To study the propagation, reflection and refraction of travelling waves.
• To study the impact of voltage transients caused by faults, circuit breaker action, load rejection on integrated power system.

UNIT I	INTRODUCTION AND SURVEY	9

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	9

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	9

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	TRAVELING WAVES ON TRANSMISSION LINE COMPUTATION OF TRANSIENTS	9

Computation of transients - transient response of systems with series and shunt lumped parameters and distributed lines. Traveling wave concept - step response - Bewely’s lattice diagram - standing waves and natural frequencies - reflection and refraction of travelling waves.

UNIT V	TRANSIENTS IN INTEGRATED POWER SYSTEM	9

The short line and kilometric fault - distribution of voltages in a power system - Line dropping and load rejection - voltage transients on closing and reclosing lines - over voltage induced by faults -switching surges on integrated system Qualitative application of EMTP for transient computation.
