A Time-Domain Explicit Integration Algorithm for Fast Overvoltage Computation of High-Voltage Transmission Line

Abstract

This paper presents a multiple time-step solver based on a time-domain explicit integration algorithm for improving the computational speed of high-voltage transmission line electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation. For weakly rigid EMT models of high-voltage transmission lines, the previous precise Runge-Kutta integration method with a small time step is adopted; for strongly rigid nonlinear EMT models of high-voltage transmission lines, a an improved precise integration method using a large time step is used for the solver of EMT simulation. Practical simulations for overvoltages of high-voltage transmission line show that multiple time-step EMT solver can be applied to different cases of EMT simulation for transmission line.
