High Voltage Transient Analysis (Using PSCAD)

The document analyzes high voltage transients using PSCAD simulation software. It contains: 1) Simulation results for a circuit including load, bus, and source voltages and currents. Comparison shows results match a Bewley-Lattice diagram analysis. 2) Simulation of a second circuit including bus voltage and line currents A-D. Again, results match the Bewley analysis. 3) Notes that accuracy in PSCAD can be improved with a smaller time step and channel plot step in simulations. Transmission line modules cannot be copy/pasted and must be separately created.

In this case too Results obtained from two methods are reasonably agreed with each other.

Following facts to be taken into account when selecting model parameters,

 Better accuracy can be obtained from the PSCAD by setting the project settings to a
reduced solution time step value and a lower channel plot step time.

 T-Line model in the PSCAD can’t be copy and paste to use for another line. Separate
module of T-Line should be created, or when a copied item’s data is changed, the
original parameters would change too.
