Power Systems Electromagnetic Transients Simulation - (Energy Engineering) 2nd Edition by Neville Watson & Jos Arrillaga (Hardcover)

About the Book

This new edition of the classic on electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation gives an up-to-date overview of the area. Thoroughly revised, it covers new topics including: simulation of very large networks; modelling of power electronic devices; integration of renewable energy sources; and real-time simulation of complex systems.

Book Synopsis

Accurate knowledge of electromagnetic power system transients is crucial to the operation of an economic, efficient and environmentally friendly power systems network without compromising on the reliability and quality of electrical power supply. Electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation has therefore become a universal tool for the analysis of power system electromagnetic transients in the range of nanoseconds to seconds, and is the backbone for the design and planning of power systems, as well as for the investigation of problems.

In this fully revised and updated new edition of this classic book, a thorough review of EMT simulation is provided, with many simple examples included to clarify difficult concepts. Topics covered include analysis of continuous and discrete systems; state variable analysis; numerical integrator substitution; the root-matching method; transmission lines and cables; transformers and rotating plant; control and protection; power electronic systems; frequency-dependent network equivalents; steady-state assessment; mixed time-frame simulation; transient simulation in real-time; and applications.
