Transmission line energization with statistical analysis

Objective: The objective of this example to measure the worst peak values of switching over
voltages at both sending end and receiving end of transmission line by statistical analysis.

Need of Statistical analysis: A Statistical Analysis case is a Random Data case solved in the time-
domain simulation to perform several time-domain simulations after steady-state solution. In Each
simulation, a different set of data is taken for switch closing or opening times in the design.

For generating the random data, using a random function or random data law.
There are 3- random data functions are available.
➢ Uniform
➢ Gaussian
➢ Systematic
In Each simulation save the minimum and maximum values for requested scopes (Ex: Voltage or
current). This statistical data is visualized from the MPLOT (options library).

Step-1: Open the Model file

Goto Day-2 → Line energization.ecf

Step-4: Double click on the switch SW1 → provide Tclose as 30ms and click on never open.
Step-5: Goto Simulate tab → Simulation options → Enter the time step as 5us and maximum
simulation time as 200ms → Run the simulation
Step-6: Click on the ‘View scopes with scopeview’ → Observe the sending end and receiving end
voltages in graph window.

Step-2: Go to SW1 → click on Random data tab → Enter the parameters for all the phases as shown
below.

Step-3: Goto scopes tab → enable Random switching times in random data → click ok.
Step-4: Goto Simulate tab → Simulation options → Enter maximum simulation time as 40ms
→ Click on view scopes with Mplot → enable the statistical simulation data →click ok.
Step-5: find the maximum voltage of receiving end voltage and corresponding simulation
number. The max voltage at the receiving end side is 840 kV which is corresponding to 186th
simulation.

Step-6: Save the worst-case random data of switch closing times from the MPLOT.
➢ In the MPLOT → Click on the clear tab.
➢ Change the scope type as t_stat.
➢ Select the time variables of 3-phases (SW1a, SW1b & SW1c) → Click on Y>> → Click on
‘ABSBAR’ tab.

Step-7: Save the random data file of worst peak response (186th simulation).
➢ In MPLOT → click on File tab →goto save → click on the ‘random data for devices (Y
selection)’→ enter the file name and click save.
➢ Enter the worst-case simulation number as 186 and click ok.
