Subsynchronous resonance(SSR) causes a torsional shaft torque on the generator. Damages resulting from the uncontrolled SSR have resulted in the breakdown in the shaft and costs for replacement power. This paper is to determine the feasibility of controlling SSR by the fast modulation of series compensation capacitors. The presence of subsynchronous currents in the system was detected by a subsynchronous relay which was modeled by the transient analysis of control systems(TACS) in electromagnetic transients program (EMTP). The capacitor segments were switched by bi-directional thyristor switches. These were modeled into EMTP. The strategy to switch the capacitors were modeled as a closed loop system. The paper proves that effective control of SSR can be obtained only by the detuning of the system and the removal or blocking of subsynchronous energy from the system. (author). refs., figs., tabs.

Electric arc furnaces (EAFs) use bulk electrical energy to create heat in metal refining industries. The electric arc process is a main cause of the degradation of the electric power quality such as voltage flicker due to the interaction of the high demand currents of the load with the supply system impedance. The stochastic models have described the aperiodic physical phenomena of EAFs. An alternative approach is to include deterministic chaos in the characterization of the arc currents. In this parer, a chaotic approach to such modeling is described and justified. At the same time, a DLL(Dynamic Link Library) module, which is a FORTRAN interface with TACS (Transient Analysis of Control Systems), is developed to implement the chaotic load model in the Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP). The details of the module and the results of tests performed on the module to verify the model and to illustrate its capabilities are presented in this paper.

This paper describes the lightning surge analysis model of extra high voltage GIS using EMTP. Various lightning current parameters were investigated in order to confirm the impact on the lightning surge analysis such as lightning current amplitude, waveform, size of GIS, tower footing resistance and surge arresters. The multi-story tower model and EMTP/TACS model were introduced for the simulation of dynamic arc characteristics. The margin between the maximum overvoltage and BIL of the GIS was about 10 percent and the margin between the maximum overvoltage and BIL of the transformer was 21 percent.

This paper describes the fault reducing effects of the 154 kV transmission tower by auxiliary grounding from the top of the tower to ground. The grounding surge impedance of the auxiliary grounding system is calculated by CDEGS(:Current Distribution Electromagnetic Interference Grounding and Soil Structure Analysis), and the critical lightning back flashover current and arcing horn dynamic characteristics are simulated by EMTP/TACS(:Electromagnetic Transient Program/Transient Analysis of Control Systems). The calculated results of total LFOR(Lightning Flashover Rate) shows that the LFOR can be reduced from 5.2(count/100km. year) to 3.4 by auxiliary grounding on the 154 kV transmission tower with one ground wire shielding system.

This paper describes a switching-level simulation model and scaled hardware model for SSSC, which is useful for analyzing the dynamic interaction between the SSC and the power transmission system. A detailed simulation model with EMTP was developed to verity the SSSC operation with control system, and its increasing capability of power transmission through the line for a typical one-machine infinite-bus system. The simulation results of the developed model are compared with the experimental results froma scaled model fo 2KVA rating for evaluation the whole system operation.

Nowadays, it is becoming difficult to secure a transmission line route when a new transmission line is constructed due to social environment and resident complaints. As existing urban areas are expanded and new cities are constructed, the necessity of high-capacity underground power transmission has been increasing because of load concentration in downtown areas. In North America, Europe and Japan, the research has been carried out for 2nd generation gas insulated transmission lines(GIL) which is more environmentally friendly and economical compared to previous GILs. The new GILs have been applied to real power systems from early 2000s. In South Korea, GIL is being considered as a possible solution for replacing 345kV high-capacity overhead transmission lines with underground transmission ones, so KEPCO is planning to develop and apply a new 362kV rated GIL underground transmission lines instead of overhead transmission lines. In this paper, the overvoltage generated at the combined transmission line adapting GIL was reviewed using EMTP.

This paper presents a new distance relay modeling techniques which avoids unnecessary computational procedure. A general-purpose simulation language, called MODELS, has been added to the software ATP(Alternative Transients Program) providing a new option to perform numerical and logical manipulations of variables of an electrical system. This language has been designed to replace the previous option TACS (Transient Analysis of Control Systems) which permits to simulate a control system in conjunction with a large power network. One purpose of this study is to build a structure for modeling of digital distance relays within EMTP MODELS. Contrary to the traditional methods, the new method using MODELS reduce the number of simulation steps in modeling the distance relay.

The simulation study of lightning faults reducing effects by the installation of surge arresters on the 154 kV transmission line is stated here. For the purpose of detailed simulation of arcing horn, a flashover model with dynamic characteristics of arcing horn gap was represented as a non-linear inductance which is controlled by EMTP/TACS(Electromagnetic Transient Program/fransient Analysis of Control Systems) switches. The back flashover inducing current was increased from 50 kA to 88 kA by the installation of surge arresters on the transmission line which has one ground wire and 20 ohms of tower footing resistances. The great advantage of surge arrester installation on one circuit of the double circuit transmission line is to prevent the simultaneous back flashover up to 190 kA.
