Constant Param, 9-ph

Description

The constant parameter (CP) line model assumes that the line parameters R, L, and C are independent of the frequency effects caused by the skin effect on phase conductors and on the ground. The model considers L and C to be distributed (ideal line) and R to be lumped at three places (R/4 on both ends and R/2 in the middle). The shunt conductance G is taken as zero. The frequency dependence of the line parameters (represented in the FD model) is an important factor for the accurate simulation of waveform and peak values. However, the CP model is very robust, simple, and fast. It also provides a good alternative for a first approximation analysis.

A transposed or untransposed CP line is represented by a) its sequences, or b) its propagation modes and the transformation matrix (Ti) between mode currents and phase currents. Implementation details can be found in [1].

The 9-phase CP model is used to simulate a triple-circuit line or three lines with the same right of way. The parameters for 9-phase lines are the same as for 3-phase lines. The only difference is that the modal transformation matrix triple transmission lines is a 9x9 matrix because each bundle of conductors is considered as a separate phase.

Electrical Parameters

Calculation of electrical parameters

The Electrical parameters of CP lines can be calculated by using the  .

Propagation Delay

The propagation delay is calculated as follows: 

Where i is for each of the phases, L and C stands for the inductance and capacitance of the line per unit length.


When the propagation delay is smaller than the time step, the Constant Param block is automatically replaced by an equivalent PI Line.


If the 'Transposed' parameter is set to 'yes', the following warning is printed in the console:

WARNING in line: <Name of Block>: The propagation delay ( X ) is less than the sample time ( Y ). A PI line is automatically used.

If the 'Transposed' parameter is set to 'no', an error message with similar text appears.
