Anna University B.Tech EEE (R13) 6th Sem Power System Transients Syllabus

Power System Transients Syllabus for B.Tech 6th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.

The detailed syllabus for Power System Transients B.Tech (R13) sixthsem is as follows

OBJECTIVES:

• To study the generation of switching transients and their control using circuit – theoretical concept.
• To study the mechanism of lighting strokes and the production of lighting surges.
• To study the propagation, reflection and refraction of travelling waves.
• To study the impact of voltage transients caused by faults, circuit breaker action, load rejection on integrated power system.

UNIT I : INTRODUCTION AND SURVEY       [9 hours]
Review and importance of the study of transients – causes for transients. RL circuit transient with sine wave excitation – double frequency transients – basic transforms of the RLC circuit transients. Different types of power system transients – effect of transients on power systems – role of the study of transients in system planning.

UNIT II : SWITCHING TRANSIENTS     [9 hours]
Over voltages due to switching transients – resistance switching and the equivalent circuit for interrupting the resistor current – load switching and equivalent circuit – waveforms for transient voltage across the load and the switch – normal and abnormal switching transients. Current suppression – current chopping – effective equivalent circuit. Capacitance switching – effect of source regulation – capacitance switching with a restrike, with multiple restrikes. Illustration for multiple restriking transients – ferro resonance.

UNIT III : LIGHTNING TRANSIENTS     [9 hours]
Review of the theories in the formation of clouds and charge formation – rate of charging of thunder clouds – mechanism of lightning discharges and characteristics of lightning strokes – model for lightning stroke – factors contributing to good line design – protection using ground wires – tower footing resistance – Interaction between lightning and power system.
