Abstract

This paper presents a software tool by which the users can watch animated travelling waves created along transmission lines as a result of power system disturbances. It is implemented in such a way that the discrete time samples of voltages and currents which are simulated by the ATP-EMTP program are processed by this software in order to create the animation. Examples of transients caused by events such as the DC energization of a single phase transmission line with different line terminations and ground faults occurring on transmission lines are used to illustrate the capabilities of the software.
