Abstract :
To strengthen power system defenses against the threats posed by electromagnetic transients as well as boost power quality, more and more power providers (including transmission companies, distribution companies and full-service energy companies) are undertaking transient and harmonic analyses in-house. This paper describes how the EMTP and HARMFLO Plus software packages arm users with sophisticated analytical capabilities in order to identify design and operational solutions.
