Numerical Integration by the 2-Stage Diagonally Implicit Runge-Kutta Method for Electromagnetic Transient Simulations
2009
This paper proposes applying the two-stage diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta (2S-DIRK) method of numerical integration to the calculation of electromagnetic transients (EMTs) in a power system. The accuracy and the numerical stability of 2S-DIRK are almost the same as those of the trapezoidal method, while 2S-DIRK does not produce sustained numerical oscillation due to a sudden change of an inductor current or a capacitor voltage unlike the trapezoidal method. First, this paper reviews the 2S-DIRK integration scheme and derives the 2S-DIRK formulas of inductors and capacitors for both linear and nonlinear cases. Then, analytical comparisons of 2S-DIRK with the trapezoidal, backward Euler, and Gear-Shichman methods are carried out, and numerical examples which verify the analytical comparisons are shown. Finally, 2S-DIRK is compared with critical damping adjustment (CDA) implemented in electromagnetic transients program (EMTP) for some simulation cases.
