Abstract

Ferroresonance is one of the most destructive transient phenomena in power systems. This complex phenomenon involves the association of nonlinear magnetizing inductances and capacitances, and may be initiated in many different ways, which makes its characterization very difficult. This work links EMTP and MATLAB and presents some computer tools that have been developed for assessing ferroresonance behavior. These tools allow users to visualize 2-D and 3-D bifurcation diagrams which can be used for performing sensitivity analysis, predicting the phenomenon at different stages, and finding safety zones for power system parameter design.
