A Study on the Electromagnetic Transients at Switching Capacitor Banks in a Electric Distribution Electric Power Distribution Substation |
| Abstract |
Transient in an electric distribution system are mainly generated by switching. This paper presents analysis of switching surge and means of limiting the voltage magnification transient for high voltage power systems by using the EDSA"s EMTAP software package. One means of limiting the voltage magnification transient is to convert the end-user power factor correction capacitor banks to harmonics filters. An inductance in series with the capacitor bank was used to decrease the transient voltage at the customer bus to acceptable levels. And also simulation results used the EDSA harmonics analysis program show the effect of harmonics reduction. |
