Title
Modeling and Simulation of Inrush Currents in Harmonic Domain
Abstract
Modeling and simulation capabilities are critical to the stability analysis and evaluation of power distribution systems, with respect to the emphasis on resiliency, microgrids, and distributed energy resources. In this paper, a computational method in the harmonic domain is proposed for the periodic steady-state analysis of the nonlinear inrush current phenomenon. The efficient inrush calculation facilitates the predictions of current amplitudes for the power system operation and control. To demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency, simulation results in the harmonic domain are compared with results from PSCAD in an electromagnetic timescale, as well as the authors' previous works in the frequency-domain. Impacts of the settings of both offset flux and interested harmonic order are discussed. In addition, within the proposed harmonic-domain method, a general approach that utilizes the discrete Fourier transform to obtain the response of a nonlinear device from a stimulus represented in the frequency-domain is utilized. This method can also be extended to perform the transient analysis in future, using trapezoidal rule for the integration.
