This fact makes the voltages and currents along the line to behave like waves and these are described by differential equations. In general, the differential equations mentioned are difficult to solve in the time domain, due to the convolution integral, but in the frequency domain these equations become simpler and their solutions are known. The transmission line can be represented by a cascade of π circuits. This model has the advantage of being developed directly in the time domain, but there is a need to apply numerical integration methods. In this work a comparison of the model that considers the fact that the parameters are distributed (Universal Line Model) and the fact that the parameters considered concentrated along the line (π circuit model) using the trapezoidal integration method, and Simpson's rule Runge-Kutta in a single-phase transmission line length of 100 km subjected to an operation power. © 2003-2012 IEEE.1047-1052engCascade circuitsDistributed parametersElectromagnetic transientsLumpedNumerical integration methodsTransmission linesCascade circuitDistributed parameterElectro-magnetic transientNumerical integration methodsDifferential equationsElectric linesRunge Kutta methodsTransmission line theoryTime domain analysisArtigo10.1109/TLA.2013.6601748WOS:000324926500009Acesso restrito2-s2.0-848845389154830845230549223
