TY - GEN T1 - Simulation of lightning surges on tower transmission using PSCAD/EMTDC: a comparative study A1 - Zakaria, Z. LA - English PB - IEEE YR - 2002 UL - http://discoverylib.upm.edu.my/discovery/Record/oai:psasir.upm.edu.my:47636 AB - This paper describes the analytical and the experimental responses of the surges strike on the transmission line towers. A new method of calculating transmission tower surge response has been proposed. It has been found that the tower surge response calculated by the proposed method has a close agreement with the measured tower surge response obtained from scale model and field tests. Without the use of simulation program, this topic might be difficult to understand. PSCAD/EMTDC has been selected as the software used to generate the appropriate data needed to graphically demonstrate this phenomenon. ER -
