Novel Technique for the Analysis of Electronic Circuits Including Zener DiodesBy Mohamed M. Saied
Abstract: This paper addresses the analysis of electronic circuits including Zener diodes. It starts with a modified Zener diode model, which is based on expressions involving step-functions, its parameters such as the resistances in both current directions as well as its breakdown (or Zener) voltage. In contrast to the earlier approaches expressing the sharp discontinuities characterizing the step-functions in terms of inverse hyperbolic tangent terms, this paper adopts more concise and …

New Solution Technique for the Frequency and Transient Response of Transformer Windings with All Inter-Turn Mutual Inductances and Capacitances IncludedBy Mohamed M. Saied
Abstract: This paper addresses the frequency response, the identification of the resonance frequencies as well as the transient response of transformer windings taking into account all possible inter-turn mutual inductances and capacitances. The mutual inductances and capacitances between any turn to all other turns, i.e., not only the immediately adjacent ones, are considered. The analysis starts with writing the set of simultaneous differential equations relating the currents and voltages within the …

The Transient Performance of Power Line TowersBy Mohamed M. Saied
Abstract: This paper presents a refined approach to the transient analysis of power line towers. Each section of the tower’s steel structure is accurately modeled as a non-uniform transmission line. Among other features, an efficient representation of the towers’ cross-arms as open-ended non-uniform lines and their subsequent approximation by lumped capacitors will be explored. Furthermore, the error introduced by neglecting the presence of the cross-arms, as well as the effect of …

Electromagnetic Transients of a Sagging Conductor above Lossy Earth—Effect of its Loading and of the Earth ParametersBy Mohamed M. Saied
Abstract: This paper addresses the electromagnetic transients of a non-uniform overhead transmission line conductor with due consideration of its receiving-end load, its sag and of the earth parameters. The concept of the complex penetration depth is adopted in the formulation of the line’s equations in the s-domain. A relation for the conductor height as a function of the longitudinal co-ordinate is derived and incorporated in the analysis. The two simultaneous differential …
