Transient analysis of underground power-transmission systems. System-model and wave-propagation characteristics

Abstract
A mathematical model suitable for the analysis of travelling-wave phenomena in underground power-transmission systems is presented. The model is developed in terms of a generalised angular frequency, and may therefore be applied to the solution of steady-state problems or, by means of Fourier-transform techniques, to the solution of transient problems. The model takes into account skin effect in the conductors and in the soil. It is then shown how the system model may be analysed using multiconductor-transmission-line theory to give the transient response of the cable system. The wave-propagation characteristics are given for the natural modes of a certain cable system. These characteristics are examined with a view to their implications on transient phenomena.
