A novel approach for the analysis of power systems transients

The Electromagnetic Transient Program (EMTP) is extensively used for simulating fast transient effects in electric power systems. However, the difficulty of proper modeling of power systems remains a challenging problem for users. EMTP also requires a high level of technical expertise to apply models properly, but this expertise is normally personalized and not stored as electronically accessible information. This paper proposes a novel approach for EMTP simulation using a support system. The proposed support system is composed of three parts. First, the support system selects a base case from a case database, to be modified to meet the user´s requirement. Second, the support system checks the syntax and validity of the new case data. Finally, the EMTP solution is checked whether it is reasonable.
