Start-Up Response of a Secondary Distribution Network Part I: Dynamic Model of Appliance Start-up

This paper presented in two parts, describes a study on the reenergization of a large electric secondary network distribution system. Part I describes a novel method for representing the start-up impedance of an appliance in terms of a dynamic model to be used later in a network reenergization computer simulation. Part II describes the detailed analysis of a residential network, the labroatory test results, the development of a computer program to simulate the reenergization, and the study's results.
