Switching transient overvoltage study simulation comparison using PSCAD/EMTDC and EMTP-RV

Shanshan Yang, Gregory A. Franklin

Abstract

Switching transients are an important factor on the equipment selection, protection and tower air clearances. Lightning and switching are two primary causes of transient overvoltage in power systems. This paper focuses on a comparative study of the modeling and simulation of a switching transient overvoltage study using two widely used simulation tools: PSCAD/EMTDC and EMTP-RV. The overvoltage modeling and statistical analysis method have been carefully described in both simulations. The comparative overvoltage results for switching transient study are also provided.
