• Numerical Laplace transform

This paper presents the use of animations of the wave propagation phenomena on power transmission lines as a valuable tool for research and educational purposes. These animations are generated from data obtained by transient analysis in the frequency domain applying the two dimensional numerical Laplace transform. Since the line electrical parameters are defined in the frequency domain, the frequency dependence of such parameters is directly taken into account. These animations allow an insightful illustration of how travelling waves propagate along transmission lines during an electromagnetic transient, making them a useful tool to determine transient overvoltages that occur at internal points along power transmission lines. In the educational field, using these animations in electrical engineering courses can help students to have a better understanding of the traveling wave concept and how it differs from the circuit theory. In addition, it allows detailed comparison of the wave propagation along lines under different conditions, such as type of excitation, type of load, introduction of losses, etc.
