Abstract
The inductive properties of power distribution grids are evaluated in this chapter. As discussed in Sect. 1.3, the inductance of power grids is an important factor in determining the impedance characteristics of a power distribution network operating at high frequencies.This chapter is organized as follows. In Sect. 28.1, the inductive characteristics of a current loop formed by a power transmission circuit are established. The analysis approach is outlined in Sect. 28.2. The three types of grid structures considered in this study and analysis setup are described in Sect. 28.3. The dependence of the grid inductance characteristics on the line width is discussed in Sect. 28.4. The differences in the inductive properties among the three types of grids are reviewed in Sect. 28.5. The dependence of the grid inductance on the grid dimensions is described in Sect. 28.6. The chapter concludes with a summary.
