Simulation and Analysis of Protection of Electrical Networks against Lightning Strikes Using ATP/EMTP and MATLAB/SIMULINK

Abstract

The objective of my work is the simulation and analysis of the protection of electrical networks against lightning strikes. To achieve this goal, I will use the simulation programs ATP/EMTP and MATLAB/SIMULINK to simulate a lightning strike in two cases: in the first case, simulate a lightning strike in an electrical networks without a surge arresters installed, and in the second case , simulating a lightning strike in an electrical networks with a surge arresters installed, to see the behavior of our electrical network in both cases, and to know the importance of surge arresters in the protection of electrical networks and also to validate and
compare the results obtained by the two simulation programs.
