Application of the Monte Carlo method to the estimation of the risk of failure of transmission line insulation Leonard, Ronald William

Abstract

A digital program has been developed which uses the Monte Carlo technique to estimate the risk of failure of transmission line insulation during system switching operations. The effect of overvoltage waveshape on insulation strength is included. A simple electrical system is used to demonstrate the method and to investigate some general aspects of error and parameter sensitivity.
