1. Traveling Wave Transient Overvoltages

2. 1.Introduction Transient Phenomenon : –Aperiodic function of time –Short duration Example :Voltage & Current Surge : (The current surge are made up of charging or discharging capacitive currents that introduced by the change in voltages across the shunt capacitances of the transmission system) –Lightning Surge –Switching Surge

3. Impulse Voltage Waveform

4. 2.Traveling Wave Disturbance represented by closing or opening the switch S. If Switch S closed, the line suddenly connected to the source. The whole line is not energized instantaneously. Processed : –When Switch S closed –The first capacitor becomes charged immediately –Because of the first series inductor (acts as open circuit), the second capacitor is delayed This gradual buildup of voltage over the line conductor can be regarded as a voltage wave is traveling from one end to the other end

5. Voltage & Current Function v f =v 1 (x-  t) v b =v 2 (x+  t)  = 1/  (LC) v(x,t)=v f + v b v f =Z c i f v b =Z c i b Z c =(L/C) ½ I f =v f /Z c I b =v b /Z c I(x,t)=I f + I b I(x,t)=(C/L) ½ [v 1 (x-  t) -v 2 (x+  t)]

8. 2.3 Superposition of Forward and Backward-Traveling Wave

9. 3. Effects of Line Termination Assuming vf, if,vb and ib are the instantaneous voltage and current. Hence the instantaneous voltage and current at the point discontinuity are : v(x,t)=v f + v b and I(x,t)=I f + I b I=v f /Z c - v b /Z c and iZ c =v f – v b v + iZ c = 2v f so v=2v f =iZ c v f = ½ (v+iZ c ) and v b = ½ (v+iZ c ) or v b = v f -iZ c

10. 3.1 Line Termination in Resistance

11. 3.2 Line Termination in Impedance (Z)

12. Line is terminated with its characteristic impedance : –Z=Z c –  =0, no reflection (infinitely long) Z>Z c –v b is positive –I b is negative –Reflected surges increased voltage and reduced current Z<Z c –v b is negative –I b is positive –Reflected surges reduced voltage and increased current Z s and Z R are defined as the sending-end and receiving end.

14. Boundary condition for current i=0 Therefore i f =-i b V b =Z c i b =Zi f =v f Thus total voltage at the receiving end v=v f +v b =2v f Voltage at the open end is twice the forward voltage wave 3.3 Open-Circuit Line Termination

15. Boundary condition for current v=0 Therefore v f =-v b I f =v f /Z c =-(v b /Z c )=i b Thus total voltage at the receiving end v=i f +i b =2i f Current at the open end is twice the forward current wave 3.4 Short Circuit Line Termination
