Simulation study of the transient recovery voltage (TRV) on circuit breaker

Abstract

This project is to present the transient recoveryvoltage on circuit breaker in power system network. Thetransient recovery voltage is a characteristic in power systemand will found just only microsecond in the power systemnetwork. The objective of this project is to simulate andanalysis the transient recovery voltage on circuit breaker. It isto investigate the transient recovery voltage before and afterthe circuit breaker interrupts and also the transient recoveryvoltage under the fault. The method used in this project is bysimulating the circuit using the PSCAD software. Thissoftware will simulate the circuit model and collect some datato give more understanding about transient recovery voltage.This project will continue by analyzing the result based on thedata collected. The simulation results are same with theexpected results and thus, it show that the simulation resultsare correct and pre theoretical. In conclusion, the transientrecovery voltage affects the breaking capacity of the circuitbreaker operation and also affects the power system networkoperation
