Abstract

This paper addresses the analysis of the electromagnetic transients developed in an important class of non-uniform high-voltage power lines. It deals particularly with compensated long overhead high- voltage transmission lines composed of several tower spans, which are connected in cascade. The derived mathematical model leads to a system composed of simultaneous partial differential and algebraic equations, which can be solved numerically in terms of parametric functions using the software Mathematica’s statement (ParametricNDSolve). The resulting current and voltage distributions along the line will be functions of the location x, the Laplace operators, as well as of the levels of eventually existing series capacitive and parallel inductive compensation. A code based on the Hosono algorithm can then be used for the numerical Laplace inversion of these expressions in order to get the corresponding results in the time-domain. The results of several representative case studies are presented and discussed in order to assess the impact of the different network parameters on the voltage and current distributions as well as the stresses in the compensating elements. It is believed that this study will be helpful to the high voltage and protection engineers, in addition to the power engineering students and trainees.

Keywords: Electromagnetic, transients, simulation, high-voltage lines, non-uniform, compensation, Mathematica, towers, span, partial differential equations, parametric functions, numerical Laplace inversion, Hosono algorithm, parameter study
