Power System Transients: Parameter Determination

The increasing capabilities of software tools and computers have become a challenge for standard developers of power system transients, especially as more sophisticated models can now be developed and implemented at lower costs. In many cases the primary problem is the lack of reliable tests and conversion procedures. This book fills that need by covering the determination of parameters for electromagnetic transient models. Illustrated with case studies, it provides modeling guidelines for the selection of adequate representations for main components. It also discusses how to collect the information needed to obtain model parameters and reviews procedures for deriving those parameters.
