In this textbook, variety of transient cases occurred or possible to occur in power systems are discussed and analyzed. It starts by categorizing transients' phenomena and specifying unfavorable situations in power systems raised by transients. It then moves on to different protective measures that have been implemented in the system to prevent disasters caused by those transients. It also explains different methodologies used to analyze transients in power systems. The book discusses the modeling of components very extensively and provides analysis cases to assess wide variety of transients, their possible effects on the system and types of protections commonly used for each case along with methods in designing a sound protection system. Some major points discussed in the book are: * It provides detailed models of system components along with PSCAD implementation and analysis * It provides a comprehensive reference of transient cases in power systems along with design considerations and protective solutions. * The cases are not limited to classical transients such as lightning strikes and switchings but rather the book discusses transient cases that power system operators and engineers had to deal with such as ferroresonance in details accompanied by computer simulations. * The book contains a chapter on original materials related to transformer windings with induced traveling waves. The book provides a comprehensive resource to mainly educate graduate students in the area of power system transients. It also serves as a reference for industry engineers challenged by transient problems in the system.
